Creating A Blog

Although I created this blog 8 months and 9 days before this post, I can still remember the first time I logged into Blogger. Back then, I had no clue about HTML, but from extensive research and help from my uncles, I have mastered all the basis of HTML.

My first template was a Scribe XML template which came with Blogger. I toggled with HTML and added a nice background which I was very happy with. But the cramp space of a two column blog made everything cramp. I soon found out a way of adding another sidebar, making it a tipple-column blog. But this in turn posed a new problem. As to provide maximum space for widgets and posts, I had to set the blog to be 900 pixels wide, as wide as a regular computer screen. Therefore, the background was hardly visible (on computers using a standard size screen, although still visible on wide screens) and the white blog which was left behind was too plain. I then decided to change to a black Minima triple-column XML template, the current one you see now.

I am very proud of the overall outcome of the blog and its efficient use of space.
