Technical Difficulties…Is this thing on?

I’m getting lots of spam now, and I got my first pingbacks.  I googled it but I still don’t totally understand it.  Why does spam happen, and where does it come from?

Now I am frustrated by the amount of padding surrounding the pictures.  I got a new theme, though, and I like it much more.  I guess it will take me awile to learn how to manipulate the code so that:  The captions are in a smaller and tighter font than the text of the entry, and also, as I said, I want more padding…

Last night I spent hours trying to figure out how to download a theme and upload it to my webpage.  I felt really proud of myself that I figured it out.  

Tonight, I tried to edit the code so that the page would actually look like the one I intended based on the demo provided by the person that wrote the code for the theme I chose.  No matter what I do, I can’t change the color or the font.  I did, however, manage to change the size of the title. 

I am going to try to teach myself the skills I need to do that.  I suppose that means I am already learning something from not buying clothes.
