New to blog?

Are you newbie to blogging? You must know that new innovative technologies like blogs can offer you a great mean to get and stay in touch with your friends all over the world or even obtain new with common interests like you!

Especially for those who don’t know html scripting and want an easy and prompt way to post messages and publish ideas, images and get feedback! The friendly interface however can limit the user’s choices concerning the appearance and the personal style of the blog. Although there are some themes/templates ready to use (which in fact are very nice and practical) those are few and cannot represent the personal style of the owner. However, the user can alter and modify those templates in fit his/hers personal taste and personality by editing the html script.

Html scripting is in fact very simple and easy if taught or studied but an inexperienced user cannot dissemble the code very easily at once. One has to learn the basics to comprehend the way html script works. As regards the blogs, most blogger templates consist of 3-4 units. The main page – index which provides the main routines and the header, the place where posts are published, the sidebar which includes other parts of the blog like user’s profile, post indexes, etc. and may have a footer. So, when one would like to add a site meter should use the sidebar for better viewing and effictiveness of the blog. He or she should find the part of the code which contain the script for the sidebar and add the meter (for example he/she could paste the html code) wherever decides to be viewed. That is how the personal modification of the blog works. One can decide for example to change the fonts, colors or to add several web components on his/her blog and improve its appearance and functionality.
