The first step in the process of creating a blog is how to create a template as appearance all of article as the content of our blog that you will make. Fundamentally to design a blog template you need to understand the HTML, CSS and other supporting knowledge such as Javascript, JQuery, etc. HTML, CSS, Javascript, JQuery and others contained in an xml template format.

As a template generator, Artisteer provide intant and standard style for the template. Style is not in accordance with your wishes should not be used.
