Please note that the buttons were created by me and I do not give anyone permission to use them for any other public/commercial projects, except this blog header. You may not use the buttons in other graphics, on business cards or for digital scrapbooking. You may use them for personal projects with no commercial or public (including internet) purpose.

I have included a PDF with instructions on how to replace the header image - alternatively you can leave it as it is and it will look the same as the live preview (the header will say "Mode Parisienne").

I have had this background stored away for the last few years but I have no idea who it's by. If you know, please tell me so I can give them credit. I originally downloaded it as a MySpace template, which makes me think that it's OK for non-commercial. Anyway, hope you enjoy it!

Note: the inner background colour and the border colour is completely customisable from within the "Colours & Fonts" area.

Here's a design called Pyjama Party (no, I didn't spell that wrong, that's how we spell it) and I really really like it. It's a pretty wide 3 column template, but I love the colours and the look of it and I hope you like it too.

Here are a few designs - quite simple, yet colourful. The inner background colour of this template can be changed to whatever you like. I've made it a blue (to match the blue dot).

Hello everyone, I am back on board and here's a design for you! So named as bees don't say "bzzzz" in Japan, they say "Boon", and it always makes me giggle. The background colour is changeable from within the "Colours & Fonts" area so don't fret if you don't like pink.

PS: I have included photoshop image and a PDF file with instructions on how to get rid of the boring text header (seen on the test site) that comes from yr Blogger Dashboard so you can make your own pretty headers with actual nice fonts if you so desire.

PPS: As far as I am aware, the image is in the public domain. Artist unknown.

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!

Please note that I have made my own header image and installed it under LAYOUT > PAGE ELEMENTS. You can do this too - as long as the header image has a background colour of white (to be seamless!) and is 720 pixels wide. Height isn't as important as width, so it doesn't matter how high. This design will come with a plain text header by default.

Make sure that you select the following if you want to replace your header with an image:

This is what I did (thinking it would be easier than replacing the image path in the code as I have been instructing in my recent designs - the jury's out - I think I prefer the other way as it allows you to be more precise and specific).

'tis cute though!

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.

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.

There are loads of Ume Blossoms out in Japan right now and they are soooo cute. I, personally think that Ume (plum) blossoms are more aesthetic than cherry blossoms - their colour is more vibrant and they seem heavier. Of course I do love them both. Anyhow, here's a blog design with some ume blossoms (image from a public domain collection).

*** 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 banner 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).

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!)

For more details on how to replace the header image - click here.

I got it! Gimme the template!

Of course this is a re-doing of this template. There was a bit of middle-bit heart overload so I shaved some of the middle hearts off (ouch, shaving a heart!) but it looks a little neater.

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.

The sidebar alignment is weird in IE6 and before - so this is recommended for those of you with IE7 - and of COURSE it looks fantastico in FF, Opera & Safari :P - if you're using IE6 and before then I may have to seriously question your sanity!

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.

(click for more detail)

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