Black Scrolly redone - free XML blogger template
Tuesday, 27 November 2007

Ok, I have reskinned a XML blogger template to be the same as Black Scrolly (post previous to this one) but I had to change a few things around so it is slightly different from the orangey, previous, design. It works in IE6, IE7 and even... (bah bah bah bah) IE5.5.

I've changed the orange into pink and moved the round embellishment thing to the side.

Note: If you have any widgets/data that you do not wish to lose in your sidebar please backup your data before uploading this - or you may lose them.

If you are currently using a template in "Classic Blogger"
you may have to go back to your Blogger dashboard and click on TEMPLATE >> CUSTOMISE DESIGN for it to work.
You will have to "upgrade your template" to upload the XML file.
It may ask you to chose a generic template first, but after doing this you can go to the below TEMPLATE screen and "upload a template from a file on your hard drive" - and it will work.

If you are already using "new" Blogger:
then you should be able to upload this straight away - again, please back up your current template if you have data in the sidebar, as previously mentioned.

At 28 November 2007 06:29, Suck My Lolly said...: Hi, I'm not sure... it's something I can take a look at though. I know that the title is an active link when you're on the posts actual page though. XML doesn't make sense to me, so tricky!

At 15 April 2008 17:53, suckmylolly.com said...: my2gs: from what I can see, your page looks fine now.
At 16 April 2008 06:49, My2Gs said...: I took the picture off because it wasn't working right. I would love to have a header on the top where it says Shipman Family.
At 17 June 2008 00:47, Maria said...: Hi, I love your designs, but this one is my favourite at the moment. It looks great on me. I changed the pinky color into purple. Thank you.
At 18 June 2008 12:20, LiVi said...: Hi. I attempted to upload this template using the directions provided but it is giving me an error message. "Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly.
XML error message: Content is not allowed in prolog." What exactly does this mean?
At 19 June 2008 01:24, suckmylolly.com said...: Hi Livi,

I don't know why you're getting this message. Take a look at my FAQs for any hints there:

http://www.suckmylolly.com/designs/faqs.html

I know the template works perfectly because I've seen others using it. If you want me to install the template for you, let me know:

At 02 August 2008 09:18, bean said...: the same thing happened to me that happened to Livi...
At 02 August 2008 22:24, suckmylolly.com said...: Hi Bean....

the template is enclosed within a zipped (compressed) folder - along with all the images and the terms & conditions for using my template.

If you try and upload this .zip folder then YOU WILL GET AN ERROR MESSAGE (ie: "Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure that all XML elements are closed properly...."). You have to unzip this folder and inside you will find the .xml template file.

THIS .xml file is the file you need to upload!!

Uploading the .xml file will NOT CAUSE ANY ERRORS but uploading the .zip file will not work.
At 04 August 2008 01:38, bean said...: hi again. ya, i know, but it still happened even after it was unzipped. But after several further tries, it worked! Thanks a bunch ^-^ i duno wat happened to fix it but it's working & thats all thats important to me at this point..

thanks for the layout! appreciate your hard work, it looks great ^__-
At 06 August 2008 20:22, bean said...: Hi again, i forgot to leave my blog URL, its http://thepirateeconomist.blogspot.com

Well, actually, its not my own blog, i just made it for someone who couldnt figure out how to make a blogsite even worse than me =p. Unfortunately, he said his readers were offended by the footer image which showed "suckmylolly.com". I know i know, its supposed to be a double entendre, and i told him it's only fair to tell ppl its yours, but as he kept bugging me abt it so i had to change it to a text that linked to your site instead of stating the name. I hope it's ok with you? Also, i changed some colours of text only.
At 06 August 2008 23:30, suckmylolly.com said...: No problemo Bean.
What you wrote on the bottom of that site made me giggle.

At 13 September 2008 17:55, suckmylolly.com said...: meilin: I have no idea how emoticons look, sorry!
At 29 September 2008 09:45, mizdarling said...: Hi, I love your designs but I'm having trouble using them. I'm sure it's me and not the files.

I get as far as uploading the XML file and then it says that some widgets should be deleted. I chose confirm and save but I just get an error message.

Please help if you can. My blog is at www.letterstoginger.blogspot.com and you can contact me at missdarlene@gmail.com if that helps. Thanks so much!
At 19 October 2008 03:23, Sranj said...: hey! I just got my blog started and this theme was absolutely perfect for me :)

it looks gorgeous. thank you!
At 09 December 2008 23:32, Saedah said...: Hey, what's a XML? I like this one, but I don't know how...
At 24 December 2008 20:57, The Rich Mama said...: I have to say I'h having the same problem as Mizdarling, which makes me sad! Cause I really love this theme. I'll check back over the next couple of weeks & see if the problem has been resolved.
At 26 December 2008 20:50, suckmylolly.com said...: Rich Mama: Sorry you're having some issues installing it. It works well for me - I don't know why it's misbehaving for you.

Have you read the instructions fully?

http://www.suckmylolly.com/2007/07/how-to-install-xml-templates.html

Two things I would suggest:
1) Try a different web browser
2) Chose a generic template (ie: a plain Blogger one) and then try and upload this template - just in case the error is with one of your widgets.

Good luck,
Sharnee

At 07 February 2009 16:26, wroxton said...: I want to use this template but I need to widen the column so that I can post bigger pictures. If I change the outer wrapper, it just moves the template to the left. When I change main column, more of my pictures show but it makes the sidebar info go to the bottom. Have any suggestions?
