First Touch

I hate orange! Get that gayness off my blog!
Editing your template, to a complete HTML newbie, is like cutting the wires of a bomb you've never seen before. One mistake, and your blog gets screwed. Ugh the frustration! The despair! I've pulled out turfs of hair (not that I have that much hair) trying DESPERATELY to untangle the mess. So far I've managed to change the colours, and figured out vaguely (at least) which colour goes where.
If I can carry on figuring out which goes where, (hopefully) the blog will be nice and pretty. (Assuming I won't be driven bonkers by it first.)
