Task 9: Changing the arrangement of my blog
I changed the layout of my blog but my theme can't move the search section, header, subscription, page list (top), ads, page body, and footer. I moved the blog archive and labels from the sidebar (bottom). For the sidebar (bottom) section, I added 2 gadgets which are translate and logo.
Task 8: Changing the look of my blog
I chose this theme because I like the colour blue. It has a background of the ocean. I like how the title is cursive writing. It's a simple theme.
