I just use the very basic blogger design which you can find under layout.<br /><br />There is a favicon box at the top for the blog address then a navbar then a header for blog title then croscol for the waxwing photo - all found under blogger's own options. The main box is for blog posts and then down the right hand side I have added "gadgets" e.g. About Me, Blogger List, Followers, Labels. When I first set the blog up I kept it private and played around with Blogger's own designs until I got what I wanted - believe me it is very very basic you see much more complicated blog designs! When I create a new post I don't have many options using such a basic blog design but I can add bold, underline, italics, (and I have just finally discovered how to add links!!). For photos click insert image and choose your file and I stick with the medium size centred. Hope that helps.

I liked the parterre gardens the best - they really were superb. I was so chuffed for you to get those great photos and loved your story about the Bittern :) I didn't see one when we came to Norfolk but have seen them at Brandon Marsh and Ladywalk NR's and heard them boom at Leighton Moss :)Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-2601572230396364662016-09-03T15:28:35.335+01:002016-09-03T15:28:35.335+01:00I spent a lovely day with relations in the grounds...I spent a lovely day with relations in the grounds some time ago - again a very hot day. The parterre gardens are superb. I adore this kind of garden for the vibrancy of colour and all the insects the flowers attract. But I have yet to venture inside the hall. I'm glad you liked my kingfisher pics. That kind of avian serendipity has only happened to me once before, and that was on an early visit to Minsmere when, after a predominantly East Anglian childhood of no Bittern sightings, I entered the Bittern Hide and ... guess what!

I will try and find a portrait of Emma when we go back and take a photo! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the car!! :)<br /><br />Margaret Adamson - thanks very much.

It is interesting, too, that both the house and gardens give a real sense of the 1700s. The Victorians and later generations don't appear to have erased much from that time. I look forward to reading all about the veteran oaks after your spring visit. <br />The car is very strange! Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02792703802542843791noreply@blogger.com
