I finally started my blog

Well, I finally started a blog. As I type this I am putting the final touches on my letter to the editor I am sending out to newspapers in OH. Anyone who wishes to see the letter to the editor I am sending out across ohio can get a preview here:

I also posted the unedited version here:

Feel free to visit it and post too if you like.

1. Very nice. You might consider deleting the reference to xm radio, tho

cuz it sort of undermines your point----it actually suggests that we do INDEED have a booming economy if a Walmart employee can afford to BUY radio instead of getting it free like the rest of us poor slobs.

4. I am taking that part out of the one I am sending out

I didn't really pay much for it anyways, got one at the right time for cheap. It is the only thing I listen to now anyhow because clearchannel owns all the local stations and I got fed up with their programming.

2. Good Luck

I've been doing it for a while, and the first step is the hardest.

Hope you have success.

5. That can be a little difficult if you don't know code.

First of all, if you want to do something within the Blogger template, go to the Blogger help pages. If you need to understand basic HTML, CSS and Java commands, I recommend this site: http://www.w3schools.com

I have some other resources, too, which I'll dig out in a minute.

on edit: To tweak your pages, you really only need to know CSS and HTML.

7. Yeah I understand stylesheets and HTML

I was just wondering if there was anyother additional kind of coding or other special stuff there was to tweak.

6. Yeah, you have to mess with the template

The easiest thing is with colors, if you find a good color wheel, that's most of what I've done. And I did my own logo in photo shop
