2. go to the main page and click on "Change the format". To change the colors, you need to go to the color code page and type in whatever color you want into the spots where the custom colors allready are. You might want to keep your page open in a seperate window so you can keep experimenting with color. It's fun once you get the hang of it.
3. Go back to the main admin screen and click on "Add and entry". Type in whatever you want.
4. If you want links on your page, just type in little brackets "a href=http://url.com" then type in whatever you want the text to be, then /a in brackets.
5. Here's a helpful tip: anything that is in brackets does not show up on your page. here, i'll prove it: i am about to type something mean. it didnt show up, did it? hehe
