This is dedicated to Dori! :-)

The design 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.

I adore this dingbat font (ding delights) and wanted to make a template that was quite cute and not too serious, so I decided on this one - almost forgetting that the owl and the pussy-cat were in a "pea green boat"! Whoops. Luckily I remembered in time and their boat colour was salvaged! I don't know if the cat in the story was ginger, but my favourite kind of kitten is a ginger one!

Slightly different from the classic template - I'm so pleased with how this one turned out. No doubt it will contain too much "knickers" for some... but oh well.

I have also included all image files (including photoshop psd file with rasterized fonts), gif and jpg AND instruction manual PDF on how to replace the header image and ditch the plain text (boring! yawn) header. Wow, you're so lucky!

The background colour is changeable from the "Edit Colours/Fonts" area - note the cute scissors border on the side widget thingy. So cute!

ps* the inner background purple colour is #A186BE - for all those of you who want widgets to blend in seamlessly.

Here is a free blogspot design that I've had on the back burner for a few weeks - the design had kind of stalled for lack of inspiration but I love the way it's turned out! Hope you like it too.

PS: the "inner" background green colour is #99CC99 - for those of you who want to use AdSense and have it blend seamlessly into the background. Also, if you want to add a widget in the bottom of the blog, I have adjusted the padding that a 468x60 adsense banner will be aligned in the center (otherwise it would cut into the sidebar bit). This will also work with a photograph or plain text - whatever kind of widgets you're into.


I would not recommend any footer stuff that's wider than 470 pixels (hey, it's the footer anyway, who looks down there?) but as you can see, the adsense fits in well at the base (and sidebar, of course!).

PPS: I will do different colour versions of this soon! Stay tuned!
