In this video you can really see the changes starting to take place.

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.

Blogspot Makeover officially launches on this week and will include some great videos 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)

Web 2.0 Graphics - Video Tutorial…

O.K. till the next video….take care.
