Learning XML and Blogger

Since I am new to Blogger, I have spent the past two weeks learning how Blogger design works. I have experience in HTML, CSS, PHP, some JavaScript, and WordPress but I have never used XML. I downloaded a free template to analyze and learning Blogger. One problem (at least for me) was that the code was a gumbled mess. So, I organized it properly and was able to get a better understanding through that entire process.

I created a test Blogger blog (almost a tongue twister, huh) and created my own simple template. I now understand how Blogger places information and I am ready to move forward with designing Blogger blogs!
