Important Q&A:
Wednesday, 30 July 2008
Hi, just a quick note. I got this comment on one of my old posts and I thought it was an awesome question and I should share the answer with everyone:Love your templates! A quick Q though: are the ads I see on the previews a part of the template? Will they appear on my blog if I use one of your templates?
Thank you for asking that!!
NO!!
There are no ads within the code of the templates!! If you use any of my Blogger designs then there will be NO ADS in there unless you chose to put them in yourself!!
In the past I have installed Blogger/Wordpress templates and the (naughty) designer has hidden the ad code in the template! I think this is disgraceful and I would never do such a thing! I do put google ads in my test blogs to maximize my revenue from these ads. I have to pay about $150+/year in hosting/domain costs per year and it's nice when you can make a few cents from the ads to help with these costs. That's the only reason I do it.
So please, rest assured that there's nothing at all in the templates that shouldn't be there!

Open All Day ... Open All Night - free XML blogger template

This is a XML version of this "classic" template - you may notice that the newer version is a little wider (this is a good thing) and a few minor changes. I have also enabled the background colour (grey by default) to be changeable. So now you can have whatever colour you want, very easily!
ALSO - regarding the HEADER IMAGE:
NO, your blog title/description will NOT show up. This is because I have switched that option "off" so they will not display.
"WHY did you make this design like this?"
Two reasons really - one: you can edit this header image if you want - remove the "Open All Night, Open All Day" text and put your own thing in (you can use any graphics editor to put your own text onto this banner and there are waaaay more font choices than the silly old internet can handle. DaFont: droolworthy!) and two: I just thought it would be more interesting - and things are definitely better when they're more interesting ;-)
"I don't want to edit my own header image! Can you please let me know how to make my title & description come through from Blogger?"
No. There is no way that your blog title and description is going to come through (and actually "fit" in the correct bit), so bad luck.
"What graphics program can I use to edit this image?"
I have Photoshop CS, but you can use any graphics program that allows you to open/edit a JPEG or GIF - which should be pretty much any graphics program.
"Ok, I made my own banner, now what?"
Now you'll have to upload it to some hosting on the internet. I host my files on photobucket.com (a free image hosting service) but there are more options out there.
Upload the file to the internet, then find the URL of the image.
Next, go to the "Layout" >> "Edit HTML" section of your blog.
You will need to replace the original header image - seen on this page - to be your own.
Scroll down until you find the following image path:

hint: it's under this bit
/* ---( header and site name )--- */
.....and replace with the image path of your new title. Viola!

Black 'n White -- Free Blogger Template
Saturday, 5 July 2008
You may recognise the background as being the same one I used in "Having my Cake and Eating it too" - an old "classic" blogger template I made. I felt like using it again but on something a little simpler and classy. Hope you enjoy this one...
