Changes to the blog page

After getting a bit of feedback about my site the blog page and the portfolio page were the two main issues that came up. Firstly I decided to change my blog page because this was something i was planning on doing anyway. I found out that you could apply css styles that other people have created and I found that I could do this on the rss feed site I used.



The site has over 50 different styles that you can preview applied to your blog and you then have the opportunity to change the code and see how the changes affect the blog.



I wanted to have something that was very simple and clean so guess what i picked the style called simple black on white and then adapted the colours to match what already exists on my website. I also really like the dashed border and think the blog page needs it to contain the blog.

This is what the blog looked unstyled:



And this is what it currently looks like, vastly improved and looks a lot clearer and clean:



I have found that it doesn't change the spacing between the title and posts, which is annoying but i have worked out that this only looks bad when the title is followed by a video. So in the future I am going to do all the writing for my posts first and then post any photos or videos after. There may be a way around this but it's not the biggest problem i've got with the website.
