For someone like me who has no technical/HTML background, the task of upgrading one's blog design seemed daunting at first. However, after intense googling, I discovered that there's a ton of material available on the world wide web!
So here, I'd like to share some of the resources that I found.

1. Shabby Blogs and Makin Cute Blogs
For shabby chic templates, blog buttons and blinkies. This is where I learned how to Customize my Blog Header using Fotoflexr. The other tutorials are on how to make the navigation bar disappear, how to make your own grab button, adding post dividers and a whole lot more! She also blogs HERE.
Create a personalized signature for free! There are over a hundred ready made fonts to choose from! I chose font #99 as it was closest to my handwriting.
I came across these sites when I googled "How To Remove Image Borders." They have a compilation of basic to advance tips on design, html and the like.

When I switched my blog from WP.com to WP.org I did all of it myself. I just googled what I was looking for and could always find the answers. This is why Google is my best friend.
