*** A few things ***
This blogger template is for those of you who are comfortable editing images and uploading them to the internet (and then replacing the image path). YOUR BLOG TITLE AND DESCRIPTION WILL NOT SHOW UP - this design is not interactive from your Blogger Dashboard.

The header image is a blank image that you may do what you wish to. I have included a jpg and the layered photoshop file (for those who have photoshop). Download the zipped up folder for all the files you'll need for the header. The font I have used in my own test site is called Grenouille.

Until you edit the image yourself, you'll have the same header as I do on the test site.

Please note that the design can be altered from the "Edit Colors and Fonts" tab - not only can you change the main background colour, but also the "inner" background. Go crazy!
For example:

black & white:



or something more, ahem, colourful:


(the side bar backgrounds won't change to keep a little consistency with the header image - which is by Vlad Studio by the way. Beautiful!


Did you know that you are not limited to the colour choice that you are greeted with when you go to the "Edit Colours & Fonts" window. It's something that slightly annoys me, but it's a minor issue really. There are literally hundreds and hundreds of colours you can chose from.

Want to know how to do it? Just visit a hex colour page like this one or this one < that's better - and select your colour (it will look something like #FFFFFF - which is white). Then copy this code into the hex colour code box and viola - you have a colour not on automatic offer.

Be careful not to enter two "#" characters or it won't work. Happy colouring!
