The Extra Credit I didn't Even Know I Already Had: Tech Tip: Blogger Template

I'd like to talk briefly about the templates offered on this website/blog:

To be honest, I haven't explored them much, but I knew I needed a change as soon as I saw the bright orange default template Blogger provided.  I suppose bright orange would make sense considering Blogger's logo/icon, but it reminds me too much of OSU (ew, am I right?) Jokes aside, I don't like orange, so I essentially immediately changed the color scheme. Little did I know, doing so was actually an opportunity for extra credit!  I chose a simple green and white color scheme because it suited my mood at the time, but if I don't get too swamped with life this semester, I may end up messing with it more. I haven't explored the lengths to which I can customize this blog yet; I definitely don't want to end up making my blog hard to navigate, but we'll see. (Shout out to Xanga and "making layouts" ... the golden years.)

If you wanna change your template, you should, because it's easy.  Dr. Gibbs even has a blog post about it, which I'd link but I'm not that nice, and plus I can't do your extra credit for you, come on! <GOB voice> Here's a link if you really really need help though.



Cheers,
Sara

PS: I hope I'm not too informal on this thing.  Lord knows I'll end up treating it somewhat like a diary and not an element of a college course.  Thanks, internet culture.

  1. Ha ha, Sara, this class is indeed all about Internet culture... so no worries there. The blog is kind of a diary, kind of a notebook, kind of a portfolio, and you can also keep tinkering with the design and layout as much or as little as you want all semester long. Like the Internet itself, it's a work in progress. :-)

  2. That is awesome! I don’t get much time to do the extra credit assignments! I have also already changed my blogger template! I will have to go find the link and get those extra points! I also wanted to say that I really like the way that your blog is set up! I like the color scheme the most though!
