How to Use CSS to Customize Your Blogger Blog
To use CSS to customize your Blogger blog, you will need to follow these steps:
Access your Blogger Dashboard and navigate to the "Theme" section.
Click on "Customize" to display "Advanced" settings.
Under "Advanced" settings, you will see an option called "Add CSS."
Click on it and the "Add Custom CSS" box will appear.
In the "Add custom CSS" box, you can add your custom CSS code to modify the design of your blog.
For example, you can change the color of your blog's header by adding the following code:
#header {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}{codeBox}
Once you have added your custom CSS code, click on the "Save" button to save your changes.
Where to Add CSS Code in Your Blogger Template
If you prefer to add CSS code directly with "Edit HTML" rather than adding CSS code with "Custom," you can do so by placing the code above the "]]></b:skin>" line in the HTML editor.
This way, you can quickly find the CSS code you want to modify by using the search function.
However, with modern external templates, the process can be a bit different.
Modern external templates often have additional styling code that you need to work with.
If the template has a <skin></skin> section below the "]]></b:skin>" line, you can add your CSS code between these tags.
This will ensure that your code is applied to your blog without interfering with the existing code.
If the template doesn't have a <skin></skin> section, you'll need to create one yourself and add your CSS code between the tags.
Overall, understanding where to add CSS code in your Blogger template is crucial to customize your blog's design.
How to Modify the Design of Your Blogger Blog
Right-click on the element of your blog that you wish to modify and select "Inspect" from the context menu.
A context menu is a type of menu that appears when you right-click (or press and hold) an object, such as a file, folder, or text selection, within an application or operating system.{alertInfo}
This will open the developer tools panel in your web browser, showing you the HTML and CSS code for the selected element.
In the developer tools panel that opens, locate the CSS properties that you wish to modify and make the desired changes.
This involves looking at the CSS code and finding the specific properties that control the appearance of the element you want to modify (e.g. font size, background color, padding, etc.).
Once you find the properties, you can modify their values to change the appearance of the element.
You can copy the modified CSS code by selecting it and using the "Copy" command from the right-click menu or by using the keyboard shortcut "Ctrl + C" (or "Cmd + C" on Mac) to copy it to your clipboard.
This will save the modified CSS code to your computer's clipboard, allowing you to paste it later.
Open the "Theme" section of your Blogger blog's dashboard and select "Edit HTML".
This will allow you to access the code for your blog's theme and make changes to it.
Use the "Ctrl + F" (or "Cmd + F" on Mac) keyboard shortcut to open the search window, and search for the CSS code for the element that you modified.
This involves searching through the code to find the specific section that controls the appearance of the element you want to modify.
When you locate the CSS code, paste the modified CSS code that you copied using "Ctrl + V" (or "Cmd + V" on Mac).
This will replace the original CSS code with the modified code you copied earlier, effectively applying the changes you made using the "Inspect" feature.
Save the changes to your Blogger blog's CSS file.
This ensures that the modified design is applied permanently to your blog.
You can do this by clicking the "Save Theme" button in the "Theme" section of your Blogger blog's dashboard.
That's it!
By following these steps, you should be able to use the "Inspect" feature to modify the design of your Blogger blog.
