Welcome to my blog!

Hi everyone and Welcome to my blog !!!

When I have the time, I enjoy playing with image programs and have decided to try my hand at making skins for your blogs. I will do my best to give correct credit for others' items I use in my skins. I may try and make headers to match but that's still
up in the air. Depending on your screen size, my skins may look different on yours than your friends screen. Sooooo.....please bear with me as I move into my new learning blog.

Thanks for your understanding,
Terrie

***** NOTE ABOUT SCREEN RESOLUTIONS *****

The dimensions of these skins vary from
1500-1024 x 1024-800. Most are 1280 x 971.

On a monitor with 1024 resolution, the side designs going from top to bottom on both side will be close
(about an inch) to the edge of your monitor screen.

On a monitor with 1280 resolution, you will see more of the background pattern on the sides of your monitor screen.

If you use a wide screen monitor then you may see some color along the sides of your monitor. To make that match the color of the background do this....

From your Dashboard under "Layouts" click on "edit HTML" and find this part of the code

/* Use this with templates/template-twocol.html */

body {background:$bgcolor #FFC&DA;
background-image:url(URL GOES HERE);

and change just the numbers/alpha in this part of the code....
bgcolor #FFC&DA (leave the # symbol there)
to one that matches closes to your skin background.

Here's a link to a color chart....
