So now I have the site template set up the way I need it and I ready to get started.
I am glad I set the foundation for this site before I started updating it regularly and I recommend you do the same. A word of advice for setting up a site/blog with blogger, when setting up your template for the first time...upgrade the template as immediately.
Upgrading your template is easy and will allow you to, among other things, change the layout of your blog without hard coding (remains an option), add page elements and change the color scheme from the default layout.
If your blogger site is already heavily formatted you will loose all of your changes so make sure to back up your code before you upgrade.
Once you've upgraded your template you will have more options to enhance and customize your blog.
