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.
Can I ask the dumbest question ever? What about this would be different from the old version? I'm using the old version now and I think it's so pretty so I'm just wondering what the advantage of "upgrading" would be.
ReplyDeleteHaha, not a dumb question at all. I guess the XML template is much easy to alter as it requires no knowledge of html code or anything - just a click-to-edit kinda thing. A lot of people prefer it I guess.... I'm just trying to keep up with demand.
ReplyDeleteThe html templates look pretty different on different browsers but I'm quite impressed that the XML templates look very similar over all browsers :-)
Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI love your designs. I've been recommending them to people who ooh and ahh over the one I'm using.
thank you so much for making the xml version! :)
ReplyDeleteYayay for the xml version! I was just about to switch away from this design, even though I LOVE it... you read my mind!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your great work!
I'm trying to install this template but am getting this error message: Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly.
ReplyDeleteXML error message: The document type declaration for root element type "html" must end with '>'.
Any help for that? I hope so, I love the design!
Nevermind, I figured it out. Thanks for the great design!
ReplyDeleteI'm having the same prob with Jen's comments:

- 1. i love your designs too *so uber cool!*
- 2. i'm still unable to use the template :(
any help please?
Hi mrs.idle, thanks for leaving a comment. I'm not sure exactly what is going on there but I think you should wipe your current template by selecting another "generic" blogger one and then try uploading the Sylvia Plath one (it's an XML template, so I hope you're not copying and pasting the code - you just have to upload the xml file from within the "template" section of your dashboard). The template definitely works, I've seen others using it.
ReplyDeletei think i did it! it looked so lovely.. thanx!
ReplyDeleteHi there, i am currently using your design...I really love it! Thanks for making it. Have a nice day!
ReplyDeleteHi there, i have just opened a blogger account and searched high and low for a template, and yours rates on top of my list!! They are all delightful!!
