Classic Grey - free XML template
Thursday, 14 August 2008
I cannot for the life of me recall where I learnt to put this search bar in - I apologise for not being able to tell you -- this is one design I have had sitting around for the last 6 months. I finally got around to finishing it. I like it a lot - I think it's very classy without looking like any of my other templates. It may look odd with no description, but maybe that's just what I think.

And by the way (XML).... - free blogger design
Friday, 14 December 2007
Yes! I do listen! :)A lot of people said they'd like to see this design for new blogger, so here you are!
I've kept the width and it's true to the original (850px) and I think you'll agree that it looks awesome as a "new blogger" template!

Download the XML template: here (zip)
Please note:
- No, your own blog title is not going to be visible as I've removed it to make way for the Sylvia Plath quote. Sorry, that's the way I've made it. You're more than welcome to edit the image in photoshop/graphics editor though and erase what's there and put yr own thing in.
- BACK UP your widget data!! Installing a new template one may erase the data you have there! (just in case you didn't know that).
- If you're installing this over a "classic" or html blogger design then you may have to chose a generic blogger design before uploading this one.
ALSO...... I've been receiving a lot of emails from people asking me to re-vamp my old html versions and make them into XML ones. I will do it! I swear! The easiest way to stay updated is to subscribe to updates by email and get emailed my new designs. The subscribe box is to the in the RIGHT HAND SIDE there! >>>>
Cheers!

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.

IMPORTANT: Nov 26th Update: this design is not displaying properly in IE6, but looks very pretty on IE7, Firefox and Safari (Macs & PCs). I shouldn't be so worried I know. I do want to make sure it looks pretty for everyone so I'll try and fix it (or re-skin it) in the next week and re-upload. If you're not using the most recent version of Firefox or Internet Explorer then you're putting yourself at risk, as older versions are less secure. Check which versions you have and update.

How to install "classic" templates:
Tuesday, 3 July 2007
********
PLEASE BE AWARE: that classic blogger designs are not compatible with "drag & drop" style widgets. If you want to add things to the side bar then you're going to have to edit the design yourself. You CAN add widgets but you will have to copy and paste the html/javascript code that is provided from wherever you got the widget from into the area of the code where you want the widget to be?
Don't know much about web design/html then I'd recommend that you use XML designs instead.
********
Here are the instructions for installing "old" or "classic" blogger templates.
Most of my older designs are this format - when you downloaded the template you'll find a .txt file of the code you need to use.
Here's what you've gotta do:
Log into your Blogger account and click on "Settings"
Select the "Template" tab and then from the Template page, please click on the "Edit HTML" submenu.
(click for a larger view)
At the bottom of the "Edit HTML" page (under the text box which is full of code), you will see a link: "Revert to Classic Template"
(click for a larger view)
A pop up window will open which says: "If you revert to your Classic Template, you will still be able to recover your current design. Click OK to revert".
CLICK "OK"
A page will then load (after you've clicked OK) which is another text box full of code. Please select all this text [either with your mouse or click CONTROL+A] DELETE ALL THIS TEXT
(click for a larger view)
Open the .txt file which has the code for your new Blogger design.
Select ALL this text [either with your mouse or click CONTROL+A] Copy this text [either using mouse, menu bar or CONTROL+C]
NOTE: If you want to save a copy of this text before you replace it, feel free to do so here.
Paste this text into the now empty text box [either by using menu or CONTROL+V] If you want to PREVIEW the design before you commit the changes, click PREVIEW. It will probably open a new window so you can check it.
When you are ready to save it, go back to the previous window (where you just pasted the code) and click SAVE! DO NOT PANIC if things get weird because it's very easy to chose a generic design and start again from scratch.
The biggest issue you'll probably have is not reading these instructions properly - please check this twice before contacting me. All the templates DO work, as I check them pretty thoroughly.
