In 3 easy steps your blog is ready. Now the real work starts.
I will just include a few tips for now. More in the later posts.
TIP 1 Remove the navigation bar
You will notice that most of the websites and good looking blogs dont have the ugly blue navigation bar at the top. Well you can also remove it from your blog. Just follow Bawa's blogsutras.
NOTE: This will help you understand the basics of your blog settings,layout etc. However, let me tell u this that if you decide to implement a customized template for your blog, this tip will not mean much.
TIP 2 Change the header
You can edit the header of your blog to any image you want.Again follow Bawa's blogsutras.
TIP 3 Add RSS
