LOL! I've been there many times. You must be like me...I visit other people's blogs, see something I like, click on it to see where it takes me so I can get one. The trouble is, not everything goes "there" and sometimes you're at a loss on how to get what you want on your blog. I have just recently updated this site and it took me FOREVER. I am in no way any kind of expert in html, css, or xml. However, I am a bit more mechanical, and usually figure it out on my own with some good instructions.
Here are a some links that I have found along the way. I have used many of the downloads, links, or tips in these sites. They are safe and great resources for the noob blogger. This list is constantly growing as I find more, so check back or subscribe here to get the latest updates!
