Blog Formatting Changes

Here is what I have so far...

First note that this "beta" blog does not currently have the column width adjustments (for posts on the left side and links on the right side) that we have added to the real LG15 Today blog. I'm happy with those column widths (they hold the standard Revver video nicely), but colors, fonts, etc. can change if desirable to match new header art.

Instructions:


(click image to see full size version)

Note: the white border around the header is 10 pixels wide, and there is a 4 pixel shadow on the right, so the total page width is 10 + 724 + 10 + 4 = 748 pixels wide.

Choosing Colors

In creating the Header Art, It would be good to select colors from the "Color Map" so we can use the HTML codes from the link below to make our fonts and background colors match the header.

These are the colors and fonts the blog currently uses: (you can ignore this if you wish - I can handle the code changes)
