Choosing a template

I know it's not a very exciting thing to write about but as my blog is fairly new I thought I'd share with you my dilemma of choosing a background template. I started off with the spotted background but I thought it looked too busy and after testing out just about every template available on here I've decided to go with this slightly pink looking one for now. I think the problem is that I want it to fill the page, which it doesn't on any template that you use so it's always going to be more of a column of text down the page. I also wanted it to have a background colour that fills the screen, which not many of them do other than the one that Sal has on hers but I didn't want to have the same one that would just be a bit sad! At some point I'll need to figure out how to put links in as well so that where I've just referred to Sal's blog you will be able to click through to it but I haven't figured out how to do that yet.

So I'm going to put it to the vote of the two people that might actually read this - Mum and Sal, should I leave the template as it is now, go back to the spots or try something different?

That template looks great! Good searching! I would change your font, though. Not sure which one you have now, looks a bit like Courier, but I would change to someone a bit more rounded like Trebuchet or Arial.

To put links in, you just select the text that you want to link from, click the link button, then add in the url of the page you want to link to. I'll go through it with you on the phone if you like.

BTW I meant to put something a bit more rounded, not someone... I realised just as I pressed Publish! D'oh!

I can't remember what the spotty one looked like, but this one looks good
