Customizing your own blog with Blogger

​It's been awesome seeing so many FSUSD staff starting their own blogs! Several people have approached me, asking how they can customize their Blog template to reflect their school colors or change the layout to meet more of their needs.

Blogger makes this process pretty easy and gives the user lots of options for personalization. Follow these simple steps to access the Advanced Customization editor. For those who are looking for a video to follow, check out the one by The Blog Beautician posted at the end.

Go to your Blog Editor and select Template, then choose Customize.

    

You are now in the Template Designer. From here you can change anything in the design of your blog. To get to the spot to change your link colors, select Advanced.

Find and Select Links to bring up the options for changing your link colors. There should be a live preview of your blog below the template designer so you can see how the changes will look before you Apply the changes to your blog. Once you are satisfied with your changes, select the orange button and Apply to Blog.
