Tutorials such as: tips for new bloggers, blogger for dummies, blogger tricks, and the eye appealing blogger buster, all have all been very useful in teaching me to modify and enhance for free my blogger template layout. (If you know other tutorial sites - then please inform in the comments section). Sure, time consuming for modifying and testing, but worthwhile and perhaps pleasing or challenging to achieve a better blog appearance.
