Scratch that comment, somehow figured it out! AND! I just edited my blog HTML for the first time thanks to you! The CSS edit for the photo shadow didn’t work but I managed to find the code and delete it! Happy nerdy dance! Thanks for all the awesome tips lady! You are a gem :)

I have a question about changing something in blogger that I can’t figure out for the life of me. Right now I have my sidebars background color as transparent but what comes out is a grey color. When I change it to white, it’s becomes a solid white bar and you can’t see the background of my blog at all… Is there a way to have them transparent entirely, where you would see no color behind any of my sidebar gadgets aside from the background of my blog scrolling behind them?

I can’t help but feel that the shadows look nicer in that example? Haha! Each to their own I suppose!

I actually have the opposite problem with my sidebar at the moment… It’s so ridiculously empty!

Great tips! These are really helpful. haha Shadows drive me nuts (and I find that for some reason on different web browsers they still show up even after removing them). I don’t understand why they are a default anyway :( Down with shadows!

Thank you so much for this post! I agree with Whitney, yes, yes, and yes!!! I couldn’t agree more! I’m not a designer but I have learned quite a few things from my computer programming and graphic designing husband, as well as from blogs I visit and what I like and don’t like. After reading this post I turned to my husband and said, finally a blogger’s tips that you (and I) agree with!

There was one that I just came around to. For some reason I have this urge to make some of my text center-faced event though I know many of us read top to bottom left to right. So I just recently got out of that bad habit. I’m working on a completely new design now that I think incorporates all of this and much of what he’s tuaght me. Thanks for the info and I’m going to go on and read your other blogging posts!

If you can pick through the html you can add a

after each photo and that will create space for you to add text. Or try clicking on the photo, hitting the right arrow key and then enter and that will make space as well. I know Blogger doesn't make these things very easy sometimes!

Hi Sarah! I like your blog, and that you have made it available to those of us who know enough to be constantly challenged! I have been blogging for a few years now but with the new “Blogger” format have run into some problems. I can’t figure out how to create spaces between my pictures in order to insert text. Any ideas? I appreciate any help you can give me! Thanks, Debbie
