Ok, someone please tell me what website to go to so I can get a new, cute template for my blog. I don't know what to do or how to do it. I sometimes think I am pretty techno-savvy, but really I am not. Do I copy/paste the whatchamacallit into my template? Tell me what to do. Please. I am sick of looking at this green background. I need something cute, festive, fallish... something.
And one more thing. Why doesn't my blog say "Older Posts" at the bottom like most people's? What setting to do I need to change so that shows up?
I appreciate your help and suggestions!!!

robyn I don't know much about templates, but I just saw this link on Lucy's blog. http://www.simplyfabulousbloggertemplates.com/
I think she has templates to by and that are for free, but I don't know for sure.
ok, so I have no idea about the "older posts" thingy but I WILL give you some links that I used to "rebuild" my blog.

hope that helps. Can't wait to see the makeover!
I'm not sure why you don't show "Older Posts"--are you using a Blogger Template like Minima? If you are using Minima, it is easy to change your background using http://www.aquapoppydesigns.blogspot.com/ or http://www.thecutestblogontheblock.com/
You just copy and paste their code in a "HTML/JavaScript" gadget in your sidebar.
I chuckled at Carrie's post b/c I'm pretty sure the Design Mom link she gave you is from your SIL. :) You could just go straight to the source. I have looked through most of the websites already listed and there are a LOT of free templates to choose from and they will give you instructions on how to add the template. You could also google free blog templates. I did that once and came up with A LOT of choices. Or, sometimes when I see one I like on someone's blog, I look for the little icon on the top of their page for the name of the blog designer. Sometimes it exists as a button in their sidebar. All I can say is good luck. The most difficult part will be just trying to pick one and looking through all of the options.
Ok, thank you for all your suggestions. I have done some of this before, like googling blog templates and stuff. I need to know about the coding- what to copy and where to paste it?
Have you transfered over to the 'new' blogger yet?
Delightful Dots and http://hotbliggityblog.com/ and delightfuldots.blogspot.com are cute too.
Robyn - Your comment on my blog was funny b/c I'd just said to Luke after looking at your Disney pictures how similar our families are. I know it's early, but we've started discussing if we'll be wanting child #4. Your family looks so complete: Boy, girl, girl has such great rhythm... Your family is beautiful and I know that you really do have 4 kids though. Thanks for your comments about my cousin. I forwarded your words on to her.
