"For a beginner like me, where should I start or what are the basic knowledge that I should learn first for me to catch up with all your posts…"
Here Pak Maeh asks a question which many of you may have wondered at one time or another. While I do try to make my tutorials as easy to understand as possible, it may be helpful for beginners to learn a little about basic HTML and CSS in order to get a better understanding of how Blogger templates work.
So in this post, I'll offer some of the best resources I've found which would be useful for learning the basics.
Blogger resources
The Blogger help section offers some basic advice about working with your Blogger powered blog. Here are some of the most useful pages from the help section:
