I don't like the white background on the actual blog, but I can't seem to get it to change...

I love the font! If you can read html at all look at your blogs code, and look for #FFFFFF that's for white I believe, go to visibone's website and look for the color you want and use the code they tell you that that color is.

In blogger, on your dashboard, go to "template", then click customize. From there you can choose other templates, background colors, etc., without trying to read html. The best way to learn it is to just play with it.
You may want to visit shabbyblogs.com and get a free template, a free header, and some other fancy doodads. Another website to try is cutestblogontheblock.com.
Be sure to visit myfreecopyright to get your material protected, and watermark (write your blog name) on any photos you use. You can watermark on any photo editing software. I have PhotoShop Elements, so that's what I use.
You'll also want to add a place for people to subscribe.
I left you a nice comment - I was first!

Thanks for the advice & praise, ladies!
Heather & Ann, I'll take all of the great info you've given me & put it to use over the next few days. I have alot of tweaking to do & both of your blogs look amazing!

You're very welcome. Thanks about my blog, I ebb and flo working on it, and tweaking it.
It is true you can use the dash board (I started blogging before blogger even offered that! lol haha). I prefer though to know my html code, at least a little cause I find you can tweak and customize much more by knowing the html then the dash board. The dash board is more limited. BUT, for the white problem, I am thinking it probably is easier to do the dash board to change the colors. I forget about the dash board cause I rarely use it. I just write my own xtml, most the time.
