I'm a homeschooling mama & novice digital scrapbooker. I created this test blog to have a place where I can try out my HTML and blog modifications before using them on my regular blog (and potentially mucking it up beyond all recognition!).
The list of changes are the final, saved changes. Before I made any changes at all, and even before I entered my first "test post", I copied and pasted the un-altered template HTML code into a Word document. That way I had a reference point to go back to if I wanted to put things back to where I started. I also chose to make one change at a time in my template, then preview that change. If it did what I wanted it to do, I saved that change before going back into the template code to make another change. If I didn't like a change when I previewed it, I reset the template and tried something else. This made my changes slowly, but if I didn't like something, I was only resetting one thing at a time, not 5 or 6 changes at once.
