My other blog design

So first, I use a 'minima stretch' template and the new editor. You can get the template by going to the 'Design' tab and then clicking on 'edit HTML' - scroll to the bottom to Old Templates and click on Select Layout Template. You can then get the new editor by going to the 'Settings' tab scrolling to the bottom under Global Settings and choosing 'Updated editor.' This updated editor allows you to click on a picture once it's in your post and resize it big or small.

Here's how to add pictures and video. When you click on 'New Post' it brings up this screen.

Add pictures/video from any source, an online file, drive, or folder on your computer. If you want to enlarge the photo, just click on it while you're typing your post and it will bring up options to resize. You can also resize your font up in that same bar as the pictures and video - it's the tT one.

To get the blog header, I use Picasa. You have to download it onto your computer but it's definitely worth it. I followed this tutorial and I know there are others online if you want a different look. She also had a recent post on using online scrapbook paper as background here

Hope that answers most of your questions. Let me know if you have any more.
