      Go into 'design' (it's on the bar across the top of your blog), then click on 'template' then 'customise'. There's an option to change templates there, so if you want it similar to mine use one of the 'simple' templates :)

      Hope I helped!!

      You could put a poll up (it's also in the gadgets page like the followers button) so people can vote on what they think fo your blog?

      And to delete a blog, go onto that blog and go into settings. There should be an option to delete that blog somewhere. :)

    Hello I recently read about your blog in shout and found it really inspirational :), so inspirational that I have started my own blog its called Life Looking Out.. And I would love it to be about me well the stuff that I'm into, I really want to blog about well everything from films and music to books and beauty but I kind of need some help making it more m. I really loved how you put photos on the top of your blog and would love to know how you did that. Also at the top of the scree where you type in the link to a webpage there is a mini photo I was wondering how you put that their? And also could you tell me about the good reads challenge and how to get involved? Thanks Sorry if it seems like alot or that I'm copying you because I can assurre you that isn't my intention it's just that I want my blog to be good as good as yours.:)

  27. Cat25/6/12 16:19

    Thanks for commenting!

    I made the header on PicMonkey and then uploaded it as the header in place of the pre-made one. It's really easy after a bit of practice. ^__^ As for the wee photo, it's a favicon, and there's an option to add one on the layout page in 'design'. :) For the goodreads challenge, you need to have a goodreads account. So just type go onto the Goodreads website and sign up, then you can add the books you read and join in challenges. :D

    Hope I helped!

    1) How do I write my description underneath "About Me?"
    2) How do I add pics to my own blog? (For the Header and background...)

    Please follow my blog... please give me feedback!

      Click on 'Design' (it's a link at the very top of your blog), then go onto 'Layout'. Now, find the gadget for About Me and click on it to edit it. There should be a box that you can type your description in :)
      For adding pictures as a header, use a photo editing website like PicMonkey to make a header, then replace it with the pre-made header you get given with a blog.

      Hope I helped!

      I'll go and check out your blog now ^__^

      Firstly, thanks for your help. I've managed to write my description, however the PicMonkey thing didn't work, but it doesn't matter now!

      Secondly, how do I add a follow button? I can't seem to find the gadgets either.

      Finally, how do you add all those pictures/ links on the side of your blog? :)

    5. Cat29/6/12 16:42

      To add a follow button (or any other gadget) click on 'design' at the very top of your blog, then click on 'layout'. Now, click on 'add a gadget' either in your sidebar or at the bottom of the layout page. A page will open with lots of different gadgets, so just scroll until you find the one of want (the follow button is called 'followers' on this page, and then just click the plus button or 'add to blog'! It's really easy after a while :)

    The reading challenge is from Goodreads :) If you want one, make a Goodreads account and add the widgit to your blog :) I've explained it in more detail in some comments above. ^__^

    And I don't think it's copyright as long as it doesn't have a watermark and it doesn't say that you can't copy it.

Some blogs gain more followers than mine in less than a year though, so I guess it's all about getting the word out about your blog and driving people towards it. :)
