  5. Hi! I'm currently using the Candy Template on my blog (& have been for months! love it!), & today I noticed that the background of the Blog Title image no longer blends with the background of the rest of the page. Instead it is an off-white (not the peach color with white stars). This never happened before, so I just wanted to let you know! Thanks!!!

  6. Don & Amanda,
    I'm sorry to hear this... I have no idea why this would have happened. I've tested the template in various versions of IE and Firefox and it seems to be displaying perfectly for me. If you keep having problems.... let me know more info.

    Grrr to blogger.

  7. Sharnee --

    Well, at least it sounds like it's only a problem with my computer! weird, though! I use firefox, but always have! I'll just let some time go by & see if it corrects itself ;)

    Thanks!!! And thanks for making my blog look so nice :)

    I have been using the retro green template for a long time and love it! I have tried using tips from the forums to make the template into 3 columns, but I can't get it to work. Do you have any suggestions?

    Thanks!

  15. Hi Sharnee.
    Just uploaded my first blogger template to my blog. It's your "it's retro baby" template. SO CUTE!
    Can you point me in the right direction so that I can figure out how to customized the "link here" tabs at the top? I looked in your FAQ and browsed some of your previous posts, but didn't see anything. Am I overlooking it?
    Thanks so much!!

  25. Hi there,
    Love your retro templates! I have installed the 1950's Slumber Party one and love it but I'm wondering if there's a way to make it 3-columned. I know there are fairly simple hacks for Blogger templates to make them 3-column... is the template based on Minima or another? I would like a 3-column page!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Hi Suzannah,
    thanks for the message. Maybe I will make a 3 column 1950s Slumber Party template and post it up on yummylolly.com? I'll try and do it within the next few days! It is relatively easy to change templates, but that one has specific images which need to be re-sized.

    Cheers,
    Sharnee

  27. Hi Sharnee,
    Sorry to ask again... I have been playing around with templates and I think I've settled on the Pretty Grey one. I do use a 3-column template, though... can you create a 3-column version? Thank you!!!!!! It is so hard to find simple, classy layouts.

  28. Hey Sharnee,

  41. Hi Camilla,

    I can see the code you added. This code you added is making the background not load!

    You should try removing the line of code you added above:

    /* Variable definitions
    ====================

    .... and it will work.

    So remove this:

    */

    /*


    ... and click preview and you'll see it's ok. Is there another place you can paste that code?

  47. Hello! I am using your heartbreak template and absolutely love it! It took me forever to find one I really like, and this one is wonderful. You do great work!

    I have added the page break option as I want to be able to show summaries of my recent posts on my front page. I was just wondering if there is any way that I would make a graphic to have the read more, labels and number of comments all in one block underneath the post? Thanks so much!

  49. Hi Sharnee,

    Thank you for your lovely templates. I just downloaded the 3-column 1950s slumber party. I added a gadget, and when I hit "save," the "Labels" & "Blog Archives" gadgets disappeared. The gadgets were still in the layout, but not visible on the blog. I tried removing them, and replacing, but nothing changed. Any other gadget is visible, but not those two. Any ideas?

    Thanks!!

  50. HI Sharnee,

    Just so you know, I did re-upload the template, but the same thing happened. However, I did discover that I can only add any other gadget to the right column. The left column will show only one gadget, as long as it is neither "labels" nor "blog archive." Thank you!!

    antique.furn.co@gmail.com

    ReplyDelete
  51. Hi Antique Newbie: I think this has something to do with the new functionality that Blogger has introduced whereby you can save your widgets and upload a new template without losing them. I have just noticed this in the last few hours and I am trying to get my head around how it will affect the use of my templates. I have a feeling that this may have something to do with it. The best thing to do may be to upload the template again.... and when doing so, click "DELETE MY WIDGETS" (or whatever it says") and then start again, completely fresh.

    Unfortunately it's impossible for me to replicate a problem (or even guess what one might be) due to the fact that everyone has different widgets in different positions etc. I would suggest re-loading the template and deleting current widgets however.

    I have a feeling this may create a mega headache for me that could never ever end :(

    I hope this will help.

    Sharnee

    ReplyDelete
  52. Oh wait..... I just saw your comment about re-uploading the template. HMMMMMM! Stupid blogger. Did you delete all widgets when uploading it again?

    ReplyDelete
  53. PS: I tried replicating your problem on a test blog I have (with a variety of widgets) and it allowed me to add and then delete the labels on the left column. I am able to add any widget to the left without drama. I wonder whats going on here.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Hi Sharnee,

    I did actually delete widgets both times, as it is a brand new blog. I thought about keeping the ones I chose, but due to the newness, I didn't trust it. I even tried adding them on the right side, but no luck. I will try re-downloading & re-uploading the template, and let you know what happens. Thanks!!

    ReplyDelete
  55. HI Sharnee,
    Okay, I think I just figured it out, and I am a total dingbat. I think they are there, but I can't see them, b/c I just started the blog & do not have posts. I feel silly, but it was rather late when I was working on it. Thanks so much!

    ReplyDelete
  56. Hi there,

    I'm enjoying your blog. I have done most of the customization on my blog myself yet I can't figure out how to make a multi-column side bar like you have on your blog. Do you know where I can find directions? I've Googled it with no luck. I like your set up with one wide sidebar at the top and two small ones side by side underneath.

    Thanks so much.

  57. hi sharnee! totally adorable stuff. thank you for sharing. i love love love temps heureux - everything about it except... i really want to use my own personal header. when i upload it, it doesn't fit neatly over your design, though, because the pink bubble comes down so far. i don't know much about coding. is there a way for me to take out the big pink temps heureux bubble header and upload my own, while keeping all the lovely simplicity of the rest of your template? thanks! - roseyjenni@gmail.com

  69. I added the name of my blog into the header onto one of the Sylvia Plath designs. I just loved the quote since it fit so well into what I'm going to be writing about.
    I changed it to blue as well because I really don't like pink. I debated changing the grey, but decided against it because I was feeling lazy. But I love all of your designs!!!

  73. Hi Sharnee.

    Love your stuff, looking for a template for my new blog 'jane on jane st'.

    I use Mode Parisienne on my blog http://designed-to-a-t.blogspot.com/. I've since added 'pages' but the header template cuts off parts of the title of the pages.

    I tried playing around with the header in pixlr. (which you so thoughtfully made note of in your instructions - great option to bringing full photoshop up when in a hurry).

    Can you help please, thanks in advance...Terese

    designed.to.a.t@optunet.com.au

    PS I've checked out Wordpress and was ready to change over, but couldn't get the template to work properly. So have left it for a bit. Will come back to you on this when I have the time to spend to move over to WP, if I am still having trouble.

When I comment on a blog that uses Comment Luv, that feature isn't able to pull my feed either.

  80. Hi Sharnee,

    I have been using the template "Open All Night, Open All Day" and I absolutely love it, however, I am looking for something more that fits along with my blog name: Katey's Kafe. I would be willing to pay for a template if you would be willing to do it. What I'm looking for is something very retro in terms of a cafe or coffee/soda shop. I love the oldies look and I'd love to have a pin-up girl as waitress. If this is possible, please let me know and how much it would cost.

    My blog is www.kateskafe.blogspot.com, and my email is kateykakes@gmail.com.

    Thanks so much for your time and keep up the great work. It's absolutely fantastic.
