Customising the appearance of the forms
***************************************

All the appearance is controlled from within a cascading style sheet called easyblog.css. 
Changing this will change the fonts used, the colours, the buttons appearance and so on. 
The blog will always expand to fill 100% of the space you give it - so if you want a little 
blog on your screen, only give it a little space. Please leave the "powered by EasyBlogAsp" 
message in place - fair's fair! However, if you want to remove the notice, you can do so by 
donating UK5 to dotdragnet. Click on "help me" in the admin pages for more details

If you want help with css, or need an introduction - visit the webmaster resources section 
of http://www.dotdragnet.co.uk for tutorials and relevant links, and the forums at 
http://www.dotdragnet.co.uk/forum to speak to the experts!


Getting a 500 Error?

This is common when you haven't got read and write access to your server - speak to your 
web-host to ensure that you are allowed to write on the server as well as read from it. 
That will solve 99% of the errors you may encounter with this script.


Other problems/Feedback

version 1.0 so it may still be a bit buggy ;)  Remember to check back on a regular
basis as we will be releasing new versions of this poll script constantly.
