refresh, smrefresh!

Long ago, when I signed up for More Things on A Stick, I spent a lot of time looking at new blog templates. For one reason or another, I didn't like them....either the colors or the logos or the typefaces/fonts or the number of columns or the combination of the above.

Ideally, I would really like to just design my own. For a personal blog, I have used a template in blogger that is a bit more blank and could at least get the photo I wanted into the heading at the top of the blog but couldn't control the typeface. For the personal blog, I post a lot of photos and have been REALLY frustrated with blogger regarding how the photos display. You can't really see how they will look in this composing window....not to mention that the window is too small...and the preview also doesn't really show how they will look either.

If I were accomplished in html...maybe placing photos or sizing them would work better. I suspect that the templates control a certain amount of what is going on with placement and sizing of photos??? It has been so frustrating to want to make something look a certain way and have it not appear that way when done. It has occurred to me to investigate the other blogging sites...

So, yes, I have looked at blog templates but I'm staying with what I have, thank you very much!
