Summer in Norway

+15°C This is the warmest it gets in Norway, so let's start here; The Spanish
put on winter coats, hats and mittens. Norwegians sunbathe.

heating in their homes.

Howdy, it is I, the Messiah. No, not that one; it's me Gordon. How on Earth did you get such a cool template for your blog? I got kind of frightened when a guy called Zed0 visited my site and claimed he knew me (Zed: a guy in Pulp Fiction).

You know I made Chris Dennis sneeze juice out of his nose by singing Norway's entry to Eurovision...my greatest achievement...

Zed0 said...

that IS quite an achievement, how did you do it? could we have a demonstraion?

if you go to the settings for your blog and click on the template tab then you can edit the html for your blog, no worries
