Blog Design

I have had a hard time getting this blog up and running. Mainly in the colour scheme and how each part of the blog is labelled. But finally, I Got It! There are a few small glitches but I'll have to ask for your indulgence--I have yet to figure them out.
I am still looking for a way to get the type of forum design that I would like to have and I may have to buy a domain to access what I want. Still searching for the right format. Once these are resolved, I have so much to talk about and am so anxious to have readers share their own experiences, questions, or even speculations (the ... What If?) that I may end up neglecting my other blog.
We'll see.
