Blogging using the standard 2 column ''New Blogger''

Blogging using the standard 2 column "New Blogger" (formerly Blogger Beta) Stretch Denim Template.

In my First post, I gave you the address of a blogsite which would help you to convert your own 2 column Stretch Denim template, to a 3 column template. For this post, I would like to talk about "color schemes".

True enough, you can use Blogger's Stretch Denim template straight out of the "box" (so to speak), and blog your way to a heavenly bliss. Eh but, as adding a third column adds "balance" to our blog, sometimes changing color schemes is also desirable.
To do this, go to "template/fonts and colors".
Note the "Shuffle Blog Colors" in the bottom right corner (click pic to enlarge). This is one of the Cool features of using a blogspot blog. Of course, the Denim template comes in "Blue" denim colors. But what if your taste is "Pink" denim? Or yet, what if you choose the colors you like, but somehow they just don't seem to go together right. You can use the "Shuffle Blog Colors" to... well, "Shuffle Your Blog's Colors". This is particularly fun to play when using the Denim template as it uses several different backgrounds. The shuffle "switch", will shuffle your blog's colors each time you click it, until it finally returns to where you started. So go ahead, play with it. You might just find something you like. And don't worry. If you mess everything up, you can always hit the "Revert to template Default" switch.
