Default Conditional Formatting

Im creating a spreadsheet that compares different data. When in information
in cell B1 is different than A1, I want the cell pattern to be a different
color, but only if there is information in cell B1. Under conditional
formatting I have tried entering condition 1 as formula =Blank($B$1) then
set format to no color. Then condition 2 is cell value is not equal to
$A$1, with the formatting equal to pattern light yellow. The manual says it
should apply the first true condition, which if cell B1 is empty should leave
it with no color and only change the format if the information in B1 is
different than A1, but it doesnt work. Any thoughts?
