Make your Blog Title appear on your blog's front page Be sure you have entered your blog name on the Basic Settings page. If you leave these fields blank, the title will not display on your blog main page. To show blog title on the main page of your blog, go to Template and choose Add a Page Element. At the very bottom of the list is Page Header-select this and click save. You can add a subtitle or description to your blog from this page. Just enter the words in the Description box. Click Save. This text will appear under the title of your blog.

Change Template Don't like the template you are using now? Go to Layout and click Pick New Template. There are 15 or so choices with color variations on many of those, so chances are you can find a combination you like. You can preview what your blog will look like in the new Template. Choose a Template and click Save.

Change Fonts and Colors Many of the Templates let you change the colors and fonts for some of the elements. Under the Template tab, click on Fonts and Colors.

Page Elements Want to customize your blog by adding a blog roll or other list of links? Need to share your Oscar picks? How about adding a slide show or poll?

You can add many different features using Blogger Page Elements. All the information and services on the sidebar of the 23 Things On a Stick mother blog were added using Blogger's Page Elements. Some are just link lists or text boxes we added using the appropriate page element. Others -like (Sitemeter)  and (ClustrMap) -are third party services that provide the HTML/Java script code to embed in your blog-Blogger tells you where to put the code.

To add a page element , click the Template tab or Customize link in the upper right. This takes you to a view of what is on your blog's front page. Click Add a Page Element. This opens a pop-up window with the elements you can add-each has a brief description. Click on the element you want to add and put the information in the appropriate field. Click Save. Once you have page elements on your page, you can drag and drop them into the order you want them to appear.
