Customizing your Bravenet blog can seem daunting, especially if you're brand new to the world of blogging. Hopefully, this tutorial will help make things easier for you.

1. Log in to your Bravenet account and select "Blog" from the Web Tools tab.

2. Under "Blog Maintenance Options" you will see two link columns; click the "look and feel" link to get to the Blog Editor.

3. Using the tabs on the editor, make the changes you want to make to your blog. The Guide Image on the "Colors/Fonts" and "Images" tabs will help you see what you're changing. Block A is the top of your page, where you have your blog title and other information. Block B is for the Home, Profile, Archives, and (if you've included it) Website links. Block C is the title of your posts, and Block D is for your text (your posts) and any links you include, including the links in your sidebar (where your Tagboard is). The Background (Page Background) section is for a background image or colors of your choice.

If you want to change the title of your blog and add or remove text or images, just select the "Text" tab from the Blog Editor:

Currently, Bravenet does not have a Preview or WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) editor, so you must save your work before you can see the changes in your blog. But you can use the back button on your browser to get back to the Blog Editor if you want to continue making changes.


I hope this little tutorial has helped you. The best advice I can give you is to just change one section at a time, save your changes, view them, and then go back to the Blog Editor if you want to make more changes.

Have a great day and a great week!
