Well to be honest I don't like the theme and the page is too long. Don't forget to use alt and title tags with your images.

Hi Mr OldSchool,

I like the concept, but I agree with Rose, the theme is takes you away from the content. The color changes and the tiles going up each side really draws you away from what is important, the content.

I agree much better. icon_biggrin.gif


As for the title and alt tag. Search engines can't read photos that is why they are needed.

Its the name you give it when you save it to be posted. For example,

you have the pic on your desktop.

1. rename it to match a keyword in your blogpost.
2. Upload it in blogger when you do your post.
3. Your done!

Are you wanting to change the grey links to blue? If so that is controled by the css. Look in your code for the part that says

Code:
a {
color: #999;
text-decoration: none;
}.itemtext a:visited {
color: #999;
}



Change the colors to the blue you want. You should have two different shades of blue. Don't use the same color for visited.
