Post 10: Blog Update

Currently, I'm in the process of changing my blog's look. I have been experimenting with different background and I am going for a space theme. I'm trying to make the blog as easy to read and visually pleasing for the user while putting in my own flare. I do like the format of blogger.com but I want to expand on it further. I'm changing the texts, colors, backgrounds, adding and subtracting from the layout.
Since the last css program took a really long time and I had to go in and research extensively and practice with those tools, it is going a lot quicker this time. The hard part is trying to figure out all the different labels and testing what changes changes what but once you start to program and organize yourself it goes a lot smoother. This time around it's more of a design aspect since I have a better understanding of the program and how it works so there is more focus on design instead of how does what work. I'm not saying I'm an expert at it yet, by far, but it's not as difficult as when we started because there is that little experience. This project is going to and is already taking a lot a of time.

I have the css code and I'm saving it in an exterior file so that I can make sure it works without going in there and messing up all the original code of blogger.
