A few people have a few so I better answer them here.
Why are you making these “Blogspot Makeover” videos?
Well, why not? I have made many blogspots and learned a lot along the way. If I can help people by showing them the techniques I have learned then I will feel great.
Why is the membership site going to be FREE?
Because I have gathered lots of tips and tools and links which I want to share. I find it no threat because the minority of people generally take action but for those who use what I provide and improve their lives….well…good on you!
What’s in it for you?
Well I’m not a martyr and even though I will feel good helping other people I would still like to get some reward for my work. So, I will place links for blog related products on the pages but nobody is obliged to click them.
When can we expect content in the membership site?
The site is fully functional but the content won’t be placed inside until May 1. Please feel free to join and you will be informed when it has been populated.
If anybody has any more questions please email me:

Today is my wifes birthday so I had to make this installment really quickly. So, one important thing to remember after watching the video is that you must always add a semi-colon after a command.
So the line should read: background:#f5f5dc;
Feel free to experiment with different colors and let me know how you get on.
If you have any question feel free to post a comment.

So…As I promised in the last video, this video goes straight into the mechanics of customizing and beautifying your blogspot blog.
If you have any questions or comments I would be happy to see them.
The FREE blogspot membership launches on the 1st May and will include some great tools and links to help you with your customizations. You can find the sign up box on the right and above that is the newsletter box where you can be first to find out about the new videos I upload.
Also, I found this link last week…It’s really great! This guy shows you how to use a program called “Gimp” which is a free alternative to “Photoshop”. The tutorials are well presented and you can quickly and easily learn to create great Web 2.0 graphics. (i.e. blog headers)
