Customization

I have had a few requests to discuss how I have customized my blog. In particular, some of you have been asking how to customize your comments titles and have wondered how I do the random quotes off to the side. Today, I made a little tutorial about the comments titles. I will get to the quotes next time.

First, go to your dashboard and click on "Layout".


Then, click on the edit button in the "Blog Posts" section.


From there, scroll to where the Bl.ogger comment is and erase it to add your own.


Finally, scroll down and save it.


There is also a way to fix it so that if you have one comment it won't make it plural (i.e., 1 comments). Not only is it grammatically incorrect (teacher OCD), but it is not so nice to look at. So, if you want to fix that little bug in Bl.ogger, do this:

1. Go to your dashboard
2. Click on Settings
3. Clcik on Template
4. Click on Edit HTML
5. Click on Expand Widgets Template
6. Scroll down until you find this:
: < data:top.commentlabel >

7. Remove : < data:top.commentlabel >
8. Replace with: comment

Happy customizing!

    P.S. I must be on an old format. It says Template. But I changed it. But not gramatically correct I fear.

    Cool! I will try to do this this weekend. I've been wanting to switch mine up for a long time. Just haven't had the time. You'd think I was busy or something.

    Do you have a "remedial blogging" class that I could take ;-)

    Is there a little boxy widget that I can put on my blog where all the complaints can be filed and cyber shredded? And maybe a blog bouncer for when I need some backup?

    Thanks for the 411.

    Are you coming to the CB waiting families meeting on Monday night?
