Loading ...I was pleased to find the current theme for my blog. It is just what I wanted and was excited every time it loaded. The problem with the above is that it is a free theme available to all, and if my predictions are correct, it is one that will become very popular with this type of blog.
So with the possibility of many other blogs having the same theme, what makes my blog stand out from those? The content will be uniquely written by me however it will be based around the same topics. I had to change it to make it my own so that there is more chance of a user remembering it.
As you can see I have done away with most of the grey dullness and gone for a blue, a colour to commonly used however for the reason that it works well. The chances of another blog, unless they copy, selecting the same colours I have used are very unlikely. This is a good first step to making your blog more unique.
Templates are usually very easy to edit, especially due to the great features of CSS. A graphics editor is needed so that images and notepad or a HTML editor to change the CSS colours.
Something that I should focus on next is creating a logo for the site. I am trialing a logo, I am not sure that it goes with the site, time will tell.
Favicon
The logo came after I tried the below with an image I have.
Previously if I wanted an favicon for a website it meant loading Fireworks creating a nice PNG, downsizing it and changing the file type to .ico. I have recently come across a much quicker way to do this. This site allows you to create a favicon by just uploading any picture you want. It will re-size and allow you to download it.
