Customizing Your Blog
Up to this point, you may have noticed that your blog has the name
Untitled
displaying
at the top of the page and uses the default Redux theme with the plain blue background,
which probably doesn't reflect your personality very well. Fortunately, you can fix that
by customizing your blog.
All the appearance settings for your blog are located on the Customize page. To access
the Customize page, shown in Figure 1-5, click the word Untitled at the top of your
screen, then click the option called Customize Theme in the right sidebar.
