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!

PS: I have added a widget under the header of the preview site - this makes it appear that there is more white space than there actually is (under the blue header image) if you have no widget. Make sense? No, I didn't think so.

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.

Happy new year everyone! Hope you've had a good holiday season!
I was supposed to fly back to Japan on Monday but it was pushed back to next week due to chickenpox! Yuck! They would have never allowed me to go through quarantine, looking as spotty as I do, so lucky for me I get 10 extra days of holidays! Hooray!

So here is a blogger template (XML) dedicated to my chickenpox: spotty dotty!

Here's a cute, pink, XML Blogger template. Simple and sweet:



(click for live preview)

Download the template: here

Same drill as always if you're installing this XML blogger template -- Back up your widgets/links etc as installing a new design may erase them. If you're installing this design over a "classic" (or html) blogger template, you may have to pick a generic blogger template first before uploading this.

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: download the Code (zip)
  • Click: 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.

IMPORTANT: Nov 26th Update: this design is not displaying properly in IE6, but looks very pretty on IE7, Firefox and Safari (Macs & PCs). I shouldn't be so worried I know. I do want to make sure it looks pretty for everyone so I'll try and fix it (or re-skin it) in the next week and re-upload. If you're not using the most recent version of Firefox or Internet Explorer then you're putting yourself at risk, as older versions are less secure. Check which versions you have and update.

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!

Hi there! Hope you like this design. It's simple, classy and neat. Too neat and clean for me, mind you, but it's still really nice.

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!

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.

Anyway, here's one for the boys. Or girls. Or cats who blog. Whoever, really.

PS: this is just a slightly altered design-of-the-past. I'm still away until mid October. I'm still reading emails though. xx

A HUGE thank you to xxTaylerxx at Deviant Art for allowing me to use her illustration in the following Blogger design.
This is quite a simple style of template, but very cute! Hope you like it.

I'm not the best artist in the world or anything, but this is still pretty sweet.

I'm pretty busy these days, but here is another design: My Blog is Yummy!

The photo is by Dawn Allynn (go and check out her website!) and it's literally eye candy! I am absolutely in love with this photo! Thank you so much for allowing me to use it.

I can pretty much do any background colour you'd like - so please do let me know if you'd prefer another colour. At first I thought pink, then green but settled on purple. The main focus is the candy itself, so we need something relatively neutral in the background.

ps: I've fixed the Mac zipping problem and replaced all previous Zip files. There will be absolutely no problems anymore!

Here's a BRIGHT (you have been warned) free blogger design. But it's also cute!
Leave me a message if you like it or want it with a more "subdued" background.

It's quite simple and not very garish, but it's quite nice. One for "boys"? (or girls, I just feel a tad guilty that most of these designs are a little feminine).

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!

Here's another! "having my cake and eating it too" - I really love the layout used in this (and in the last few designs) and I ADORE the background by Elanore Morgan.

Today I have been working on another Blogger design which (for lack of a better title) is called *insert witty blog title here* - it includes a retro type background and an image of a delightful woman, blogging away.

Simple layout, but a little bit fancier graphic. Burlesque is sexy.

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....

Dear Diary is a simple, white blogger design. It's clean with non-obtrusive images and it's quite classic and simple (without putting everyone to sleep!). I hope you like it.
Tested on IE too - although I HATE IE with a passion - you should get Firefox, no joke.
