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!

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!

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

Hi,
I have reworked the "Birdy" blog design (previously only available for "old" blogger) into being friendly for XML/widget blogger!
$15US! Awesome!
Same deal as other designs - if you're interested, email me and I'll send you an invitation to view a test blog. You then have 24 hours to confirm you want the design and paypal me the $15US.
Questions?

This will have no link back to me - only very small credit for the artist of the image. If you wish to include credit to me, you're welcome to do so at a later date and I can provide a button to link to me.
This design includes the XML template, instructions on how to install and a personalised header text (ie: where it currently says "Blog Title" and "Blog Description"), but does not include any altering of any other images. Please note that this text is part of the header image and won't change if you change the title of your blog from your "Dashboard".
Since you can add widgets yourself, this will be your responsibility - it's easy as you know!

Helloooo.... Christmas is coming soon and I wanted to make a design that wouldn't be too overwhelmingly Christmasy and one that you could possibly use all year 'round (incase you happen to be like me and like cute things). The beautiful ribbon Photshop brushes were made available by Hawksmont Universe. Awesome! How I love the fact that she's made the brushes available for use! Thank you x 1000000!
Enjoy....

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:
(click for a larger view)
Click: download the Code (zip)
Click: download the Code (zip)
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.

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.

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.
