isn’t the blog supposed to show up the same as all the other html files when you run site builder?

I just set up a blog, but it does not show up in site builder. All the others are there and easy to access, but for blog. Is this right?

    Yes that is right.
    Blogs are customized using a CSS file…. A Cascade Style Sheet.

    For starters, blogs are not very customizable if yours is hosted by one of the free blog-providers online. But most of them do allow you to access the CSS file to customize the color / font / size / border / etc… of already predefined elements in the blog.

    CSS files are basically files that give properties to defined labels.
    Example:
    In a CSS file I could create a property and give it the font color red, and font size 12, and name it “REDNESS”. Now, when it comes to customizing the site / blog…. i just have to define that this certain element will inherit its properties from the CSS file and will contain the properties that are included in property named REDNESS.

    All that to say is that in CS Sheets, you can temper with properties of corresponding elements to get as close as possible to customizing a blog / CSS-based site the way you want.

    Hope that helped.
