Blog Design How-To's

I have been experimenting with blogs for a while and have learned a bunch of things I thought I would share. As I learned how to do something new, I kept track of it in a word document. Very handy. That was Derek's idea. He is the brains of the bunch.
So without further delay-Here are all the links to find all the directions for pretty much everything I know about blogs.

How to add a button to your blog:

How to design your own background:

How to make it so a link opens in a new tab:

How to add a "Recent Posts" widget:

How to remove the navbar:

How to use a fun font for your post titles

Ok, honestly a couple of these are a bit tricky (the font one especially) but you just have to follow the directions step by step. I know you can do it! If you know where we can find directions for other cool things you can do with blogs, let us know and I'll add it to the list.

Thanks for this list. This will come in handy when/if Ethan and I decide to make our audio book blogs.

I can't wait until I have the time to try some of these. I've got to find a house first :)
