review some of this – most folks can handle it
also, you can sign up at wordpress.com for a free blog if you think it’s too much
I’ve installed the blog and got it running, but I’ve been asked to make it look and feel similar to teh one in the link above.
I don’t quite know what I’d be editing as I don’t know what each part is classed as to know what to put where even if I knew how to do it anyway. I know this sounds a bit ‘I can’t be bothered to try’ but I don’t know what I’m tryoing to do in the first place. I’ve installed teh blog and had a quick look at editing it, I can see how to change some bacis colours but when it comes to inserting various part sinto different places on the page, I’m stuffed!
Find a theme that is very similar with the 2 sidebars
The right sidebar can easily be configured the way it is on the typepad site from the widgets menu in admin.
The left sidebar is a bit more work in that whatever theme you choose you will need to modify that theme’s “leftsidebar.php” (or whatever it is called in your theme).
The stuff in the middle is simply going into admin and making a post or page.
If you need to import the posts and stuff from that site:
