OpenLab Blog instructions:

1. Customize your page with a responsive theme that supports multimedia, an original header, personalized colors, title, and tagline. Your header can be a photograph that you recently took or an image that you have designed. Be aware of the ideal pixel size as you design a header.
2. Create an “About Me” page. This should be a simple bio that reflects who you are. You may also include a photograph.
3. Create your first post which can simply be a bit of text welcoming us to your site. Feel free to upload a photo etc.
