A lot of people have been asking about how I customized my blogspot blog, in particular my sidebar buttons and social icons as well as how I got my white background. With this video and tutorial below I will show you quickly some easy tricks and html basics. I taught myself through trial and error and youtube etc so I’m not a professional by any means! So if you have anything to add please do in the comments below. Thanks!!
White background without border on photos:
1. Go to layout
2. Click template designer
3. Click on etherial templates
4. Pick the template with the orange leaves sidebar
5. Either click onto the backgound tab below template tag and upload a white background jpeg picture (if the template you do use doesn’t give you the option of choosing the background color) or go to advanced settings, click background, and select the white as the background color and the divider color.
