i was fiddling around with the template and i was previewing my changes before i saved them. and when i previewed it, it looked NORMAL. it was pretty. THE ENTIRE BACKGROUND was this blue color but THEN i clicked saved changes and things got scrwed up. the sidebar stuff does NOT have a blue background. damn. and now i can't fix it. so for the time being my blog is going to look like a piece of shit cuz not only can i not figure out how to reverse the changes i made, but i also don't know what i want to do with it now. i WAS going for something like this person's blog. http://lynnestevens.blogspot.com (not exactly like that, but something similar.) but stupid me i can't even get the background to be one color. and now i've wasted my time so i have to go do hw. so please, laugh at the ugliness of my blog for now....if i were you i'd laugh cuz it's really quite pathetic, i know.
