A plea for tech support as deadline looms closer

We're three relatively intelligent human beings, so it's mystifying how we can't seem to customize this blog, not even using the written-for-a-7-year-old help page. ("Ask your mommy and daddy to send money.")

Short of begging our mommies and daddies, we're stumped. If any of the few readers who have stumbled across this new blog have experience with Blogger code and would like to offer a word to the not-so-wise, please do so in a comment or in an e-mail to corey@indieregister.com.

Here are the things -- so far -- that I've failed to figure out:

1. How to change the "About Me" box to "About Us," and substitute the information about me with information about the Independent Register;

2. How to add a photo (.TIF image) of the Independent Register's flag;

3. How to add another box to the template for contact information; and

4. How to publish the blog off an FTP server, our indieregister.com domain.

I remember setting up my own blog eons ago and seriously doubt that the template formatting was as incomprehensible as it is now. Please bear with us until we get these technical bugs worked out.

Until the next time, I hope you'll keep reading.
