Today is my first day of blogging. I created the blog account a long time ago but never really got time to actually edit/configure/use it. My friends demanded ;) me to create my own blog. And finally here it comes. I hope I'll enjoy this journey along with my other fella bloggers.

As soon as I started with my blog, the first thing I decided to do was to check-out any handy little tricks/usage methods for easy blogging (for beginners ;) ). Here's a few:

• How to center-align some text:
  
  <div style="text-align:center;">"something"</div>
  
  
• How to write an "important" text with background color so it stands out:
  
  <p style="background:#FFD4FF;"> and </p>
  
  Here #FFD4FF is the hex code for the background color you want to put
  
  
• How to set time zone in your blog:
  
  Go to: Dashboard > Settings > Formatting
  
  There you can simply select your respective time zone

  If you want 20 spaces between two words, simply copy the the above characters and paste it 20 times. Tip: To remember the sequence, it is called non-breaking space
  
  
• How to delete a specific post:
  
  Go to your blog via the dashboard, find the post you would like to delete and all the way right to the post you would see a delete link. Simply click it.
• How to backup template:
  
  Before switching to a new template or making modifications to the current one, it is very handy (and life-saver ;) ) to backup your exisiting template. Simply go to:
  
  Dashboard > Layout > Edit HTML
  
  Under Backup / Restore Template click "Download Full Template"
• How to add new gadgets to your blog:
  
  Go to: Dashboard > Layout
  
  Under "Page Elements" click on "Add a gadget"
