As you may have noticed, Frugal Fanny had a little make-over in the last 24 hours. I hope you think that the changes are, for the most part, better, but I somehow feel the need to point out the obvious that I'm not a programmer and have almost no formal education in anything related to computers. So how did I manage? Well, Blogger makes things easy, and if you want to get fancy there are plenty of nice people in cyberspace posting articles to help you out.
Nevertheless, you can waste some serious time browsing through your Google hit-list finding these articles, especially if you have no clue what to look for. To help you out, and maybe save a little of your time, I've compiled a short list of the links I found most helpful. Please note, I'm publishing through Blogger so some of these links only apply to modifying a Blogger template.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, you probably don't yet have a blog. But if you want to start one, you can set one up for free at Blogger. If you have a Google/gmail account you can sign in with that, otherwise you can set up a Google account with any email address. You get a URL for your site, free hosting and an extremely easy-to-use publishing interface. In short, it's easy to start and it costs you nothing.
Once you're all set up with a blog, you'll probably want to modify the look and make it more personal. These links will help you do that:
If you're totally new to CSS or HTML you might want to run through this tutorial site before you try to...
- Add a third column to your blog.
- Change your label list into a label cloud, sometimes called a tag cloud. Look at my label cloud to the right for an example.

- Find RGB color codes to change the colors in your label cloud.
- Find HTML color codes to expand your color choices for your template.
- Download free photo editing software to jazz up photos for your blog.
