Change Me! - Free XML Blogger template

OK, so I am going to admit that this template is not going to be to everyones liking. There are a lot of things that are changeable in this template and as such the "Fonts & Colours" area is kind of extreme and almost everything is adjustable. However, this does make for awesome control - you can pretty much make this template into whatever you want. AND.... it contains no images in the design!

So.... what's possible?

The moral of this story is that I KNOW this isn't going to be everyones cup of tea but I know some people like to control all the colours and this is for you! If you want the borders to disappear then make them the same colour as the background! Then they won't be seen!

Black n White Elegance - 3 column blogger template

OK, so the small preview image below looks kind of lame, but if you click on it to preview the site, you'll see that it looks a lot better full size. Also, how awesome do the adsense ads look in there? (I hate it when they never really look quite right!).

Faux Jungle - XML blogger template

Awww, I love this one - it's kind of tropical (which cheers me up a lot as I'm in the middle of winter here!) - I plan on making different inner background colours, just in case you don't like the dark brown, so stay tuned. I'll try and post them in the next day or so. Hope you like this one. xx Oh, and if you have a really long header or description, you may have to make it smaller in the "Fonts & Colours" area so it fits.

PLEASE NOTE: That your blog header title/description will NOT SHOW UP! I have created the design this way so that the Sylvia Plath quote is visible and your blog title is hidden. I have included the Photoshop layered file in the zip folder and blank jpg and blank gif... so if you want to change it yourself... you easily can (assuming of course you have some kind of image editing software)!

Pinky Pinkerson - XML blogger template

Oh I hope you like pink, because here's a pink template! This was just a test which happened to work out quite well.... so I will probably make some similar to this in the future (but more intricate!)! This didn't take me very long to make, hence the two templates in one day!

Paper Dolls - free xml templates! Two options! Woo!

Here are two pretty paper doll templates (dolls are sans heads I'm afraid). I like them and I had trouble deciding which one to put up, so we have them both.
The #2 template includes the Photoshop - .psd - layered document so you can change the words in the speech bubbles. If you have any questions about this, let me know.

As noted above, I have included the Photoshop doc for those who wish to alter the speech bubbles. If you install the template as is, then they will be saying "Hi!" and "Why, hello!", just like in the test blog above. Confused? Let me know.

It's Retro Baby! - free xml template

OK, this is a simple but sweet retro template, perhaps it should be called "minimalist retro" or "simple retro" - anyway, you get the drift I hope. It's just simple and cute... with navigation bar. You can find how to add the links within the code or you can read the info below.

1. Log into blogger. Click on "EDIT HTML"
   
   
2. Scroll down the large box of code until you see the following (it's near the end)
   
   <li><a href="'/'">Home</a></li>
   <li><a href="'#'">Link Here</a></li>
   <li><a href="'#'">Link Here</a></li>
   <li><a href="'#'">Link Here</a></li>
   

To add your own links:
replace the "#" symbol with your link URL and then edit the "Link Here" text to be the name of your link (see colour coding below). So if you wanted to put a link back to me, this is what you'd change one of the lines to be:

<li><a href="'http://www.yummylolly.com'">Yummy Lolly</a></li>

You can remove or add any lines as you wish. You just have to add them before the </ul> code.
Let me know if you have any questions.

PLEASE NOTE: your blog title and description WILL NOT SHOW UP. If you want your own header title to be visible then you'll have to edit the header image. I have included a PDF with instructions on how to replace the header image - alternatively you can leave it as it is and it will look the same as the live preview (the header will say "Sugar Sugar").

The header font is Black Jack and the description font is Rickles.

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.

• Download the template: here (zip file)
• See a live preview here
  

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.

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.
