Ha ha....we got a new look. Ed was notified by blogger that they would no longer host FTP servers. So I helped him navigate the blogger template system. Over the course of the next week, I'll add a third column. Ed will take care of all the other stuff. Right now, there's a little poll over to the side. You can answer it if you like. There's even a video feed from a few local You Tube channels. We indicated a few channels, as few as keywords such as Business, News, Politics, Los Angeles, California. But believe me, there will be some really stupid things on there. Ah well.
Ed, you might have to re-establish the feed. Just click around on the tabs to settings, and you'll see a bunch of tabs that make it real easy. Also, you can add ShareThis on the HTML template so that people can easily share articles on other blogs as well as on Facebook. Networked blogs is also something that feeds the posts from here to Facebook and I think over to Twitter. You can find them on Facebook as well.

Guess I'm so used to the OLD look that it will take a minute to become comfortable with the NEW look. No offense, but it's a bit bland. Not enough color. Additional features work, but needs a little excitement.
The colors are up to Edward. The old one was grey background with black lettering. Adding anything to the sidebar involved inputting a lot of HTML by hand.
Minima Lefty Stretch was chosen so that we would have room to add a third column. In addition, MLS allows for straight You Tube embeds without chopping off the right hand side of the video.
A masthead can be done if someone has the inclination, usually best results are done with Adobe Photoshop, saved to a .jpg, then uploaded to blogger. But, Edward will have to be careful because any logo used by the LA Times is not okay to put on this unofficial blog.
It all takes time.
WOW! The new look is just fabulous Kanani, dinner on me next time we get together.
Yeah, I think once we get that third column in there, you can sign up for AdSense and start running ads.
Ed, I got the blog list started on the sidebar. Go ahead and add to it.
