  Gidday.
  I am feeling unmotivated to contribute any posts to my blog because it looks yuck.. it makes me want to puke.
  Is it just me or does it seem easier to read black writing on a white background? More clean and clean yeah?
  Oh and my cartoon that is in the blog ‘Strange World’ does not fit on the page.. how can i make it fit? Although it appears that the colours seem to go with my header.
  Hrmm.
  Any ideas on solutions?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The cartoon needs to be made smaller. Open the post for edit, click on the cartoon and the on the “image edit” icon that appears in the upper left, and choose a smaller size. I would suggest probably 50%. Then in the same window, click on the “link to image” button and then click on the “update” button. This will make the image clickable and link it to the full-sized image.

  As far as colors and such, black lettering on white will always be easier to read because is the the highest possible contrast.

  Also, I noticed that in at least one post, you have copied and pasted from MS Word, which will cause you problems if you do not do it right. MS Word ends up bringing in all sorts of code that can and will break your blog and cause you a lot of work. The following FAQ will show you how to do it correctly so that this does not happen.
