Learning Blogger From The Inside Out

Since I'm trying to put together something unique and special for my trip, I have been monkeying around with Blogger code, or CSS. Its something similar to HTML, which doesn't matter because I don't know what the fuck I'm doing! Well its got a steep learning curve for those with no knowledge of code, and since I got nothing but time and patience on my hands, I am determined to master it. I have been poring over message boards and reading up on the mater so hopefully in a couple of days I'll have something to unveil to you all.
