To be able to use your own pictures on a layout you need to get a host to store those images for you. I have a free Yahoo!Geocities account and use that for storing all the images and files I use here.
The first thing I did when creating the template for this blog was choosing a photo. I liked the colors on my photo of the galley M/Aux Marita a rainy winter day. I edited the picture in Adobe Photoshop a bit and used the color picker to create a color scheme for my template. You can see the colors I picked and used in the table below.
| #7C9D82 | #D9D4B7 |
| #FAFFFF | #B5582C |
| #695838 | #DEA64E |
| #6E8F7E | #020704 |
I wanted to create a table-less design, but haven’t had time to get into the coding part myself, so I used an online CSS layout creator for the layout. There are a couple around but I really liked this CSS Creator.
Here is a link to the XHTML file the CSS Creator generated [layout1.html].
Here is a link to the style sheet the CSS Creator generated [layout1.css].
