This whole Blog thing

I am gettin fustrated with this whole redesign my blog thing. I spent the better part of the night trying it in Microsoft front page and finally gave up it was giving me a head ache. Why is it so hard to change background and add links other then blog rolling? Oh well I'll keep working at it and figure it out sooner or later. I had it set up the way I liked at one point but must have left something important because I couldn't post to it. So I went back to the basics and started over.
