So, I've been doing a bit of rearranging 'round here.
As part of my Type 3 class, we were tasked with manipulating the CSS that Blogger uses to make this sort of thing pretty (or not-so-pretty, as the case may be). While these changes are not drastic, it is great to know how to change each piece of the page, not simply the options given by Blogger. It has also been frustrating as some parts simply don't respond the way one expects. For example, once I got started by changing colors and type "stacks," I decided to try to move the header to the left. One might thing this could be accomplished with "text-align: left;" but, well, it can't. Or, at least, I couldn't. I ended up moving it left by adjusting margins through trial and error.
I have never been super happy with the default ways in which Blogger deals with image, so I was glad to "float" images left, then add a bit more breathing room (padding) on each side. I also like that the text is wrapping. It's a little quirky still, but since my blog mostly features images, it might serve as a way to caption things. Additionally, I think I
might be able to set up a few different ways in CSS to treat images, so that each is presented appropriately.
In typical Sarah fashion, I've rearranged and changed palettes three whole times now, and well, at least I know more or less how to do that! I think I'll stick with this direction for awhile, rearranging a bit as I go along.
