Cookie Top - free XML blogger DIY template
Monday, 3 March 2008
I love brown when it's done well (that sounds so odd to say) - but other, brighter, colours tend to look very pretty with dark brown. Anyway, I love this template. It's 750 pixels wide.



(click for a live preview)

The design is free and works with "new" blogger - ie: it's an XML template. Please ensure that you backup your widget data, as installing a new template will wipe/erase your current widget content.


*** 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, a gif 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.

Here is the image (see it's blank and ready for you):
click the image to view full size
and then right click and "Save Image As....."
(or download the zip file, it's in there too!)

Sheesh! I got it! Gimme the template already!!

Petite Stars - free Blogger design XML
Saturday, 23 February 2008
The background in the header is a tiled pattern so I can't supply you with a blank header image for this one (but I intend on making it my future plan). Stay tuned for more designs soon - I plan to take into consideration all the ideas that my readers gave me a few posts ago.
In the mean time, here is a dark template with a star pattern in the header and footer.

Pink Flower Header Deux - free blogger design
Sunday, 28 October 2007
Many people have asked why Pink Flowery Border doesn't have your blog title or description on it. Sorry! I guess I made it pretty minimalist and just didn't realise it would be a good thing.

So, here we have Pink Flowery Header Deux - which has a few extra features:
  • it's wider
  • recent comments link in side menu bar
  • heading & blog description

Enjoy! xx

Heartz - free blogger design
Thursday, 25 October 2007
Here's a super-cute blog design that was inspired by a photo frame I bought for 300 Yen from a recycle (aka: second hand) shop. It looks nothing like it, but the inspiration came from there!

I like this design a lot. It's available with and without titles (note: preview blog is without title of course!). If you download the zip file, you'll see it includes both codes.

Drivin' to LA - free blogger template
Wednesday, 24 October 2007
Hi, I always thought it would be romantic and cool to drive to LA in the middle of the night with a hunky boyfriend. Seeking fame, seeking fortune, seeking better things. So... here's a blog design to that effect! Ta-Da! I like this one a lot.


(click for a live preview)
PLEASE NOTE: your blog title WILL NOT show up within the top of the design because the header of this blog is an image and this is the way I have made it - please feel free to edit this image yourself to reflect your own blog title. You will need image editing software to do this (and somewhere to host the altered image). Go crazy & show me what you do.

And by the way.... - free blogger design
Thursday, 30 August 2007
This free blog design includes one of my all time favourite quotes from Sylvia Plath:
"And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt".

Classic Brown Template - free blogger design
Saturday, 25 August 2007
I've had some requests for simpler blog designs so I've come up with this brown number - available with black and white text (whatever tickles your fancy). I think I prefer the black, but I know some people with like white. Anyway.... your choice.

Again, I do recommend that you have both a title and a description header so there's no weird blank space.

Open 24 Hours - free blogger design

Sometimes stating the obvious is cute! I also LOVE dingbat fonts (yes, I know, I love an awful lot of things). Haha, do you get it? The internet never closes!

Serpentz - free blogger design
Monday, 6 August 2007
I like serpents (ok, not really) well at least I think they look pretty cool. I want to dedicate this design to my friend Chand who currently uses a generic blogger design - I have been trying for a very long time to get him to change his layout!


(click image for preview)


I guess this design is a bit more "classic" than my regular ones, so I hope you like it. Let me know if you use it, I'd love to see how it goes for you. xx

Pink Classic Swirl - free blogger design
Sunday, 5 August 2007
Here is a "classic" blogger template (classic in that the layout isn't doing anything tricky) and it's relatively straightforward. Oh and it's pink.

I would DEFINITELY recommend that you have a "title" for your blog, otherwise there will be a vast space of nothingness above the pink swirl, in otherwords it might look a little silly.

Reach for the Stars - free blogger design
Ok, so I lied.
I got my macbook back this afternoon and I have a few days before I'm off on holiday (and a LOT of free time before), so here's another design... "Reach for the Stars".
I have tested it in Firefox and IE (Mac & PC friendly) and it looks fine!


(click image for live preview)

I really like this one. ok ok ok, so I know I say that about all of my designs. But I really do like this one. It's sweet like a cup of tea on a sunny Saturday morning - which is better than a cup of tea on a sunny Sunday morning by the way. Enjoy.

Red Retro - Free Blogger Design
Thursday, 2 August 2007
I'm going on summer vacation next week (and the computer has to go in for some repairs), so this might be the last design for the next 2 weeks or so.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love retro things! I love retro blog designs even more!

I hope you like it, it's very cute.

PS: I've been looking at some peoples blogs (who have used my designs) and I have two pointers for you:
  1. when you write your entry, don't change the text size. I have programmed the font size in, so all you have to do is write an entry and it will look snazzy. If you make it bigger or smaller, it may look crazy!
  2. In a design like this one, it looks much better with a tagline (in this example it is: "your description here"). Don't forget about a header!! It's like a book with no title ie: it doesn't make sense!!

Teracotta Cookie - free blog design

This is identical to the Blue Cookie Cutter but it's terracotta in hue. So if you don't like blue... or maybe you just are a bit more terracotta-inclined, this is for you...

The Moon & Stars - free blogger design
Friday, 20 July 2007
This is such a cute Blogger design - "The Moon & Stars" (hey it's late and I'm not feeling all that creative anymore), but honestly I think it's my favourite blogger design! It took a lot of fiddling to get everything aligned properly but I am exceptionally pleased to say that it looks the same on IE, Firefox and Safari (on Mac & PC).

If by chance it looks crap on your screen resolution I would say - get with the times and make your resolution better (or bigger as the case may be?) Enjoy....

Blue Cookie Classic - free blogger design

Ok, I guess it's a bit of a "classic" style, but it still looks really nice on both a Mac AND a PC (amazing that someone would make a design that works with both!). Anyway it's IE, Firefox and Safari ready. Enjoy!
