Blog Design Technique & Tips

[YoninahAliza]

I'm creating a blog again (I currently have a tumblr and had another blog for over 2 years through blogger) but I'm unsure of what web-hosting site I should use. Does it matter? Blogger, Wordpress, or Blogspot? I want one where I can have a nice design and is relatively easy to use. I've never done anything with HTML or coding in general though. Which has me a bit worried. So what would people recommend going with?

i don't think it matters really...
just pick the one that is easiest for you to understand and use...

I use blogspot and I think possibilities are pretty limitted there in terms of design etc (same to tumblr which has even less possibilities but can be a great addition to your "main site"). You need to have excellent HTML coding skills to make a blogspot look professional.
Wordpress... some of my friends have been using this platform... At the beginning it's quite challanging, but you will easily get used to it and have a wider range of design elements there.

^ I use Wordpress and have found it much easier to use than Blogger.

Is there any way to make the labels in blogger look like this on a widget in the sidebar:

Label 1
Label 2
Label 3

instead of this:

• Label 1
• Label 2
• Label 3

Is there a way of removing ALL the white space betweeen photos in blogger?

I'm wondering if anyone can help me re this style of font

Where could I get a font quite similar to this, free or paid for. I've searched but no luck
What would you call a font like this, handwritten, fountain pen, freehnd...nothing I search seems to come up with this style and I've trawled quite a few sites!
How could make my own font like this?

Thank you in advance!

^Which website did you search? I'm pretty sure you could find this or something similar enough on dafont.com

I love simple blogs with medium large images and good photography and quality images and white backtound.I am trying this also on my blog but same size images are impossible.and I like to feel free so I never use same fonts or super tidy look in general.

I really need help with my blogspot. Me and computers dont really get a long. If someone could help i would be eternally greatful! I want clean and simple. Largeish or medium sized photos, white backround, some nice fonts etc.

I just started blogging, too. I always missed a blog that covers both my favorite things in the world: beauty chemistry and minimalism. And this is my take on it. I started it a month ago and I am very new to blogging.

Would love to hear what you think about the look of my minimalistic layout. It took a while to learn how to build things, I literally started from the scratch. Maybe you have recommendations or questions. I would be so happy
