  I was just wondering how/if you could put artwork in the big left and right margins in your blog. Seems like it would be one way to make it really unique and not so plain. Thank you.

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

  You can easily put images now on your sidebar as a widget.

  Are you asking about putting a background image or color in the grey areas on either side of your blog? You can do that if you have experience with CSS and the paid upgrade. Or you might be able to use a text widget. Here are a couple of threads about the text widget method.
