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 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.

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!

Ok, I've made a another XML template which is pretty cute. There is room for your own description, but it's going to overlap the exclamation point (it doesn't look bad but I prefer it without). Also, this has a super cute pencil at the base of the entry! So cute!
(click on pic for a live preview)
Note: If you have any widgets/data that you do not wish to lose in your sidebar please backup your data before uploading this - you may lose them!
- If you are currently using a template in "Classic Blogger"
you may have to go back to your Blogger dashboard and click on TEMPLATE >> CUSTOMISE DESIGN for it to work.
You will have to "upgrade your template" to upload the XML file.
It may ask you to chose a generic template first, but after doing this you can go to the below TEMPLATE screen and "upload a template from a file on your hard drive" - and it will work.
- If you are already using "new" Blogger:
then you should be able to upload this straight away - again, please back up your current template if you have data in the sidebar, as previously mentioned.
How to install:

ps: if you have the "Edit Post" thingy set then it's going to appear that there are 2 pencils almost overlapping at the base of the entry. Don't worry, you're the only one who sees two pencils.

Here's a blogger template (for "classic" blogger) that I've had floating around for a while. Not too fancy, but I like the colours and I know that some people want a pretty simple design.

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.

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!).

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.

Incase the "Pink Flowery Border" design is too dark for you, I've made a version with a white background a cute bluey flowers! Nice! It too is wide and includes the header and description.
Enjoy!

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:

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.

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.

"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".
