This post is about two things that have been talked about in class and on some comments.
First off, layout ideas. I believe we should find at least ONE we all like and then make it suitable to our tastes and needs, perhaps using some photos or ready made graphics?
Anyway, first step - take a look at these if have the time and then post here a link to the layout or leave a comment, whatever you like (Note: for those less comfortable with HTML you should just copy the link on the adress bar and paste it on the post):
- Six Shooter Media - The designer of this site is a twenty-something genius! He has several great free templates, but most are not specifically for Blogger, so they would require using Fileshack and/or imageshack to put on. Still, a lot of good ideas there - my personal favourite is Aqueous, as I said in a comment already.
- Create Blog.com - There isn't a lot we can use here, as they are either a) Incredibly unpratical b) Television or music themed c) a bit heavy, but there are still some good design there.
- Blogger templates.org - There are only a handful of templates here, but boy are they good. If you go to attempt, you'll find my - reluctant - favourite already applied, and modified, called Rounded Blue.
[For some reason, www.bookofstyles.org is down]
Last, but not least, for those enchanted with the possibility of doing a blog of your own and wanting something different without much trouble there's:
- Firdamatic - a VERY easy-to-use template creating tool. Plus, has the possibility to use 2 or 3 columns, and use your own images if you posted them in your site, imageshack or something similar
I would have already posted a review for NBC's "Heroes", but I haven't gotten the green light from Dubeth yet(I wanted it to be as perfect as possible, and didn't quite know how to integrate a video directly on the Blog).
However, don't hesitate to post! Like we talked about earlier, taking something interesting off the web for example, or, why not?, write your very own personal rants! are what the blog is here for! :-) Personally, I'd like to see what you have to say, and also what you share from what Wigu and Overcompensating (both Webcomics) creator Jeff Rowland comicly calls "the interwebs". ;-) Happy posting
