I felt kind of guilty that I made the original Whimsy template with a header that needed editing. It's probably one of my most popular templates, if not the most popular, so I thought I would make it again but pop in a text header and description. So there's no need to edit the header image - whatever you have in your Blogger dashboard will come up in the header of this one.
Enjoy!

What's been happening at acornglue.com? Well, I have had some time in the last week and started making some more $15 templates (sans the 3 column orange one which is $25 due to fancy menu bar). I really really like some of these - especially the first blue one here - which I think is very delicate and pretty. Anyway, if you're interested in getting a one-of-a-kind template for a pretty cheap price then check them out...

I had a request a little while ago asking for something with some pink blossoms on it and found this gorgeous public domain image of these pink flowers. I hope you enjoy...

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!

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!

My how a year can fly! Can you believe I have had suckmylolly.com for a whole year?

I started this blog as a way to share my designs ("classic" templates at the time) but I have learnt so much over the last year and have been pleased that my templates and designs have been so well received. Kind thanks to everyone who's ever used/commented on any of my designs - I love getting random notes saying how pleased you are with my templates!! That's exactly the reason I started doing this!!
Anyway, some people over the last year have asked how they can make a donation to me to say "thanks" for the free templates - so here is a way you can donate if you wish to. My hosting bill is due very soon - if you wish to help me out with a small donation then I will be ever-so grateful.

Thank you so much for your support over the last year! Let's look forward to another great year of free (and exciting) blogger designs!

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...

Here's a simple, purple design. It's not too flashy, but perfect for those who like purple, squares or both! Enjoy!

IMPORTANT NOTE:
for anyone trying to install my templates and getting an error!


I have had quite a few message from people saying they are getting an error when they try and install my .xml templates. As I have mentioned before, I do test them all and I know they work.

I have discovered that some people are downloading the .zip file (this is how all my templates are presented) and then trying to install this!! Of course this is going to produce an error because you can't expect to install a zipped folder and expect it to work!
You have to UNZIP the zipped folder and within the folder you will find the .xml template, a folder with images and my T&C.

In conclusion: uploading the .xml file will not give you an error message!

Here is a blogger design with NO graphics - you can fully customise all the colours (background, 2x borders, inner background) and create whatever kind of look you want. I've made the test blog a greyish/blue, but you can do whatever you like. I like this idea a lot....

Again, this clip art (cake and coffee) is from a collection I got from Japan - as far as I'm aware, it's in the public domain. I like this one a lot - hope you do too! xx

As far as I am aware, the header image is in the public domain. I got it in Japan, hence the sushi I suppose. Clip art in Japan is greater than any clip art you could ever imagine.

The background colour is customisable from within the fonts & colours area! Go crazy with it.
