HTML??

Gosh !! I had the most horrendous time trying to 'beautify' my blog. I've seen a few blogs and they look rather interesting, with 'extra stuff' on the side bar (I just found that out).
And I was like "Ooo I want that too" which, of course was before I figured out how to do it.
I was clicking on everything that was click-able.
"Hhmmm.. settings? *click*click* no.."
"Postings? *click*click* no.."
"Aaarrgghh !! How do I do this??"
Guess I finally 'clicked, clicked' on the correct button - Blogger Help. Hahahah.. how hilarious.
Okay.. lets fast forward a little...
I found out that I had to type these funny looking '<-t><:h=i_> n:/<+g><"ys>' somewhere but I had no idea where. I actually created a new post and 'cut & paste' in under 'Edit HTML'. Well, at least I was smart enough to know that it was some HTML thingy although I still haven't got a clue what HTML is.

Anyway, I woke up this morning and being the 'ambitious' me (ahhaha), I wanted to add more stuff to my blog. Went straight to Blogger Help. Read.. read.. read.. And.. "Huh? Template? What template?"
Then.. Revelation !!
I supposedly had to edit my template and slot in those funny looking HTML thingys. With my new found knowledge, I clicked on 'Edit Template' and went on to do what was necessary to make my blog look not so bare ;P
By trial and lots of lots of error.
There's this one time where I wanted to re-arrange some stuff on my side bar but ended up deleting the entire middle section of my blog instead ! Hahahah.
Thank God for the 'Preview Template' button but.

I'm quite surprise with myself. I actually had the patience to sit down and learn how to do a little programming (if that's what it is called). I mean as far as I'm concerned, I have no interest whatsoever in computing and programming and etc.
I then realised that if I want something so badly, I would go all out to get it even though I make mistakes along the way.
I bet you're going like "DuH, heard of the phrase - if there's a will, there's a way".
"Of course la, who hasn't". I bet your parents first said it to you. Cuz mine did.. I think. ANYWAY...
How come I do not have the same kind of enthusiasm when it comes to my studies?
"I also want to get all A's for the papers I sit for what".
This exact moment is a clear cut example of how 'enthusiastic' I am about my studies. I have to sit for an exam soon and what in the world am I doing??
"Ooo I want to decorate my blog"?? Bullocks !!

This is where I say GOODBYE.

Oh not so fast ;)
If any of you kind souls out there are willing to give me some HTML 'decorative' tips, please feel free to do so ;)
Thank youuu...
