Update

Sorry about the lack of posts recently. I have not gone on Blogger for ages. In fact I am doing this post from Microsoft Word '07.

I have had no emails so far apart from spam so it would be nice to know that someone is reading this. Constructive criticism would be highly appreciated. learnweblogs@gmail.com

Templates

Hello,

As you can see the template of this blog has been given an overhaul. It was made possible because Blogger introduced a new feature a while ago. It is called 'template designer' and is accessible by going to Blogger Dashboard>Layout>Template Designer. It allows you to alter everything from the background colour of your blog to the colour links turn when the pointer hovers over them. Best of all you don't need any knowledge of HTML or CSS. It also comes with additional templates. However some of the older templates may not be compatible with the new template designer in which case you would have to switch templates. The template let me have gadgets along both sides. The right side is for third party and miscellaneous gadgets and the left side is for gadgets affiliated with this blog. The new template that I had to choose because of the problem I just highlighted allows me to insert more than one row of gadgets at the bottom of the page. I inserted two polls and a small note along with the Back to Top link that was there previously. Please do at least one of the polls.

PS: None of your gadegets are deleted when you change your template.

New Blogger features

Blogger has announced a feature that enables you to create up to ten 'pages'. They are like the webpages on a normal website. This comes as Google announces the shut down of Google Page Creator. Google is urging users to upgrade to Gogle Sites but it seems that some will turn to blogging and the new pages feature instead.
