I'm Trying..........

I'm really trying to figure out how to "jazz" up my blog and I'm having trouble figuring it out. I hope when you see this you don't see the wrench/screwdriver on the left side where my page elements are. I've also tried to figure out how to put a small picture in my title and put my posts down the center so I can put the layouts on there that have pictures on both sides but I'm not sure you can even do that. Sometimes, I just log off because I get so frustrated. Does anyone else feel that way sometimes? I guess practice makes perfect. I want perfect.
