Blogging!

This whole blog thing is frustrating! I know just enough about HTML to be dangerous. I have a really good eye (my business proves that), but I can't seem to get things like I want them. Everytime I change something in a template it turns out NOT the way I intended for it to be. I'm looking at all of the resources for new templates, but nothing catches my eye. I want to build my own in Photoshop, but if I did, I wouldn't know where to place it! I'm pulling my hair out here. Can anyone give advice of somewhere I might look that would explain it all? Duhhh. An no, I don't like the new look.
