So far I've created a blog on WordPress. I started playing around with it for awhile. Next, I went through themes and picked one out for my blog so that it looks a little nicer than the regular layout. I may try to change it to something different later.
Originally I wanted to work a little bit with CSS, but I think that I can just manipulate the blog with the features that it gives me in order to get what I want. Also, in WordPress it looks like you have to pay to use and manipulate the CSS code for WordPress. Fortunately, its looking like I can pretty much do what I wanted with the features that this blog offers.
Next, I created a post for my Dad. I wrote just a little bit about him and I hope to post a picture of him eventually. In WordPress the links for the posts go towards the right so each person in my family will have a little link over there.
The one thing that has frustrated me so far is the fact that I am having trouble changing the title of my blog. I originally made it "A blog for English 240", but I'd like to change that section and use it more as a section to write a few words about the blog. I need to keep looking, but so far I haven't had any luck.
Eventually I need to delete some of the features that the blog displays on the right because it's a little bulky over there and I want the focus on my family, not on the features. I still have a lot to do. I plan on getting each person's little bio done soon and then try to add pictures for each person. After that I'll just have to work on making things clean, neat, and pretty.
This all sounds fine, Lauren! Let me know if I can be of any help.
