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!

I think pictures of old fashion can be really amusing, so saying that, here's a design that's quite funky and uses some old pics of collar styles. Won't be everyone's cup of tea, but it's very "me" (meaning you'd be hard-pressed to find a template like this one). Perhaps I should do more "classic-ish" templates, but that's not the way my mind works most of the time.

This design is a lot more "simple" than what I usually do - but there's something about it that I really like. I hope someone else likes it too!

Here is a cute free voodoo doll template that I just love! The header is made with a dingbat font from "Divide by Zero". So cute and yet.... so nasty.

This is a re-doing of this design (classic), slightly altered - a bit funkier than the original and this time, your heading and description is visible. Looks best with the grey Blogger nav bar.

Oh my goodness, I just love the way this one turned out! It was (of course) a re-doing of a "classic" blogger template found here. Again, huge massive thank yous and confetti to the delightful Burnbadart who allowed me to use her cupcakes in this design!

This is a special bargain for 24 hours only (starting at 8pm Japan time - not sure what time that is for you) and will end at 8pm Sunday 20th January (Japan time).
THE SALE IS NOW OVER.
Questions?
What happens if 2 people want the same template?
I will sell the same template to TWO people, maximum. This means that you still have a pretty good chance of getting the one you want (and there won't be 5 zillion people out there with the same design as you).
How can I pay?
Paypal is the only way to pay at the moment. Email me at acornglue@gmail.com if you want to take advantage of this offer! Remember, it ends at 8pm Sun Jan 20th, Japan time.
What will the time-turn around be?
Once I have received payment and your blogger title/description then the maximum turn around will be 48 hours (more than likely it will be less than that).
Are these blogger templates widget friendly?
Yes, they are all XML templates - easy to install and easy to modify the widget data in the side bar.
Will you modify the design for me?
Please note that I will not alter the design for you - the regular conditions are still valid. Click here to view them.
Visit acornglue.com to view the templates available and then email me at acornglue@gmail.com (I welcome questions, please hurry, this offer is only good for 24 hours).
THE SALE IS NOW OVER.

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!

Hi-dee-ho!,
I have moved my cheap pre-made blogger designs over to acornglue.com
If you're after a pre-made (and one of a kind) blogger/blogspot template for a very reasonable price - that's the place to go!
They are all XML templates and a a lot more exciting than my free ones... so check it out here.
The free templates will always be here at suckmylolly.com, but the cheap ones have moved.

Ok, this is my very first try at an XML (new) blogger template. It's pretty simple but that's ok, as it is my first try. This design is called "Oh La La" and it's available under Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License.
(click for a live preview)
To make sure that this blog design looks the same as it does on the preview page, I recommend the following page elements layout - pay note to where the "Header" is (in top of sidebar), as any other positioning may make the layout slightly odd.
(click for a larger view)
Since this is my first XML layout (and is a modified version of "Dots Dark" - a generic Blogger template) I have no guarantees that this will work.
To install this design go to TEMPLATE >> EDIT HTML >> UPLOAD A FILE FROM YOUR HARD DRIVE
Upload the XML file (within the zipped file) and upload it. Preview first of course.
If you use it, or try it, let me know if it works OK.

I'm really enjoying the bare bones of this template! This is the last one for today. Look at the two previous posts if you want to see some more (simple) designs.... but here's one called "He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not".

This is a slightly altered "Simple Fantasy" design, with some flowers added behind your title. The side bar is a slightly different colour also. Enjoy!

Ok, here is one of my "original" designs - "Candy Coloured Dreams" - although I have fixed up a few minor problems (it's amazing how much I've taught myself about Blogger designs over the last few months!).

As always, I'd love to know if you use it. Leave me a comment!
PLEASE NOTE: your blog title will not show up because the header of this blog is an image - 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. I like doing it this way because it's more interesting - you can chose any font for a header image but you can't for an actual text header.

I love pictures of cupcakes and candy (no secret by now). Unfortunately I am not a good artist!
I got permission from the delightful Burnbadart to use an image she did of cupcakes in one of my designs and I just have to say a HUUUUGE thank you! I love these cupcakes soooo much! Simply delightful!

PS: Due to the spacing of the header image and the actual text of your heading I would advise you to have both a heading and description. If you don't have a title for your blog there is going to be some weird space there. Therefore, I advise you to have a heading a description for this template.

My traffic is slowly increasing and I have been "reviewed" and mentioned on some sites. Most of the comments are lovely but I have just seen one that referred to my designs as being mostly feminine.
I will admit that it made me feel somewhat guilty for not catering to a masculine audience - as most of my designs are indeed feminine. However, I don't really care because I'm willing to bet that it's mostly women who want to change their designs. In fact I've only ever had one email from a male.
Anyway, I like things to be a little different. If you want to see something specific, let me know. I like *original* Blogger templates and that doesn't mean getting some graphic from your favourite anime movie and slapping it on a template. Sorry.
Contact me here.

Hi,
I've been sooooo busy this week that I haven't had much time for Blogger designs. More will be coming on Sunday, I promise! Also there has been a horrid second-summer type heatwave in southern japan and it's knocked the wind out of my sails (not that I'm a sailboat, but you know what I mean). I hate summer!

For those Etsy users out there I have made this Etsy shop front which will enable you to post a blog entry about your sales and then post it on Etsy: all under the same, uniform, design. Pretty sweet.
Anyway, more free blogger designs this weekend.

Incase you have been living underground, these designs are for "classic" Blogger, but I guess I feel kind of bad that I am giving a cold shoulder to those of you who use "new" or "widget" blogger. Personally I do tend to like extras/content being minimal and graphics complementing the writing/personality, which often does not happen in new Blogger!
Widget heavy blogs give me a boredom induced headache!! I mean, how many people do you think REALLY want to read your blog in another language?
And RSS feeds!
Blah! Why someone would want to read a blog entry with no layout graphics is beyond me!
.... in the dark!
(sure it may taste good, but half the pleasure is in the visuals. And besides, see that bit of ribbon, you might choke on it if you're eating in the dark! Beware!)
Anyhow RSS feeds and ribbon induced deaths aside, I think I'm going to start making some header images that you can use in your blog if you use new blogger.
If you have any suggestions, please email me {here} or leave a comment.
I'm off to bed. Night night!

Incase you're curious, my all-time #1 dingbat is Klippy (which can be found on the first link, above). The dingbat in this header image is the letter C - uppercase - from "WM in the 50s" font by W. Mac - it too can be found here.
