New Blogskin

I have been toying with the idea of changing Daryl's blogskin for some time already as I find that his current 1 is not that suitable for a toddler. After many days of searching on Blogskins, I finally shortlisted this current skin.

Initially, when I uploaded the skin onto Daryl's blog, I got an error message! I was so fed up coz I had spent some time figuring out how to upload it. Thus, when it was not successful, it was so demoralising.

After some searching, I found out the reason why. Apparently, when Blogger upgraded to Blogger Beta, it runs on XML coding instead of HTML. Unfortunately, the majority of the skins are created by HTML. Therefore, when I tried to upload the new skin onto Daryl's blog, I got the error message. After somemore searching, I found out that I need to change to classic view so that I can upload it. Once done, I finally managed to upload the new skin to Daryl's blog.

That was not the end of it. When the new skin was uploaded, I realised that there were a few problems. The alignment was off, the posts were kinda of too small to be read, I can't seem to be able to edit the profile at the side of the posts, etc...

Luckily I remembered that Kat is quite familiar with Blogger as she was the 1 who told me about Blogskins. So I asked her for help. When she replied that she can help me, I heaved a sigh of relief.

I went back home today so that she can help me to adjust Daryl's blog. The result.... Well, you can see for yourself...
