Create a post explaining what it is you would like to be able to do on your blog.
- Is there something you really want to create, but don't know how?
- Would you like your blog design to be different?
- What about organization? Is there something about the arrangement you want to change?
**********************************
I'm currently really happy with the design of my blog. I have made the changes that I think I need to make to make it "designed" enough for me. There are a number of sources of information I use when I want to make a design change.
Kate at The Neverending Shelf runs an ocassional feature called Design It Up that gives me good ideas for tweaks. I have learned to create a labels dropdown menu and learned how to put my signature at the end of my posts automatically. I use My Live Signature for that.
I also follow a blog named Blogger Sentral for design tips. I learned how to put widgets into scroll boxes there.
I am not afraid to search the web for html language to do various things or to ask other bloggers for assistance. I was seeing progress bars on people's posts and wanted to know how to do it. So I asked the blogger what she used. She directed me to the Nonowrimo word-meter and told me how to change it.
I did an internet search for free blogger backgrounds to choose my current background. And I added a bunch of other sites with free backgrounds to my Delicious account so that I could change it up if I got tired of this one.
Somewhere I even have instructions to make an interactive buttons like Karin is talking about. I don't know Photoshop and have never used it. That would be something to learn for the future.
I did change my signature this weekend just for a little tweak.

Hello Ms. Martin ... Can you tell me how/where you got your labels list to be a drop-down list? Thanks in advance and for all the links you provided!
