How to Customize the Look of Your Blog (Part 5 of 6)

This is Part 5 of a series of posts on using a blog for your class website.

Click “Template” in the left-hand menu. Here is where you can choose the look for your blog. I recommend keeping things simple rather than ornate; it’s easier for more students and parents to read that way.
To make things even easier, especially for younger students, you probably want to make the font larger and darker than the default. To do that, click on “Customize”.

Then click on “Advanced” at the upper left of the screen.

Here you have control of the font size and color for “Page Text” (as well as everything else). Be restrained with this. It’s much easier to make your page harder to read than it is to make it easier to read.
