I am struggling through some of the OpenLayers API and got it to display a number of Feature objects, but they are blue circles and I would like them to look somewhat more like the markers in Google Maps. How can I change their appearance?

</html>To change the appearance of the features you must give them a style, for example
marker.setStyle(
new ol.style.Style({
image: new ol.style.Icon({
src: 'https://maps.google.com/mapfiles/kml/paddle/red-blank.png',
anchor: [0.5, 1],
scale: 0.5
})
})
);
