You're seeing this blog currently in blogger's magazine dynamic view template, although I'm not sure for how long it will stay in this current theme as I am quite fidgety with blog templates. I could feel twitches as I am not used to having a blog without a footer! As to why I came to use this generic template is that I made a little blunder with the previous template of this blog. It's one of those free customized blog template that I have no idea how to tweak, or at least I haven't got the time to discover how. So with a deep sigh, I had to contend myself with the standard blogger template that is not as customizable as the older ones. Or so I thought, but more of that later.
I chose the dynamic views because I'm already gagging over the older ones. My other blog uses the Simple Template that I have taken great pains to customize and put a little distinction from probably thousands who also use the same template. I thought I'd give the Dynamic Views Template a chance. To be honest, it was okay, for a few moments hahaha! I just can't take it that the header space is too small and you could almost miss the blog title because you can't make it any bigger. Sigh......
So, as I said, I was getting fidgety and didn't want to leave things that way. I did some customizations, as much as blogger would allow, inside its inherent or default program. But all I could really do there was to change colors and some font styles. Another deep sight there.
I was already contemplating on looking for another more user-friendly free template outside blogger when by some stroke of good fortune, I chanced upon the Southern Speakers blog. And what do they have there? A good amount of tutorials for customizing dynamic views! Now, I'm no good with CSS at all but this site makes it easy peasy even for a dummy like me. So, in the last couple of hours, I was copying and pasting CSS codes. I was able to put a more agreeable blogger title header that was my main issue just a few hours ago. I was also able to justify the post summary so it's a neater now instead of the messy edges. One last thing I did was to reposition the gadget dock because it's covering part of the scroll bar at the right side. It's now conveniently positioned on the left side.
Alright, I think I'll stay with this template for now. Although, I still wish there's a way to put a footer. I am twitching again...arrrrghhhh....
