Totally Yellow - wide photo blog template!

OK, I can't take all the credit for this one as I was largely inspired by Sarah's Totally Severe backgrounds.  I LOVE this one and decided to use it in a template for you.  I know some people may be scared of yellow, but there's no need to be because it's a lovely colour. 

Some colours can bite, but I promise this yellow doesn't.


There are two things you should know about this template:
  1. It is a very wide template with one main blog area.  There are no sidebars on the "side" - they are actually located on the bottom of the page.  Check out the demo site to see for yourself.
  2. The blog title font (and post title fonts) are actually using Maiden Orange Google web font.  This is NOT changeable from within the 'Template Designer' area of Blogger.  Why? Because Google have not made this a font for use with Blogger yet (I DON'T KNOW WHY!) and I am too impatient to wait.  So I have hard-coded the font in and it is therefore not changeable.  The body font - as well as all font colours, ARE changeable.

Hello, Yellow!

Ok, I like the photo blog idea so I made another one with the same basic layout as 'Say Cheese!' but this is brighter with a header image by the ultra talented Pixels & Ice Cream.

Enjoy!

Say Cheese! (the perfect template for a photo blog!)

Now I know this template preview (below) is going to look like all hamburger but in actual fact it's a very neat super wide Blogger template perfect for a photoblog!

The maximum sized photo I would recommend is 900 pixels (as the template itself is not much wider) but if you click through to the test blog you will see that I have put a few example images in there so you can see how they look.

Obviously I don't recommend uploading your photos on Blogger (because they can be re-sized too small and look kinda crap in this super wide template). I would opt for using Photobucket or Flickr pics here. Then you'll know that they'll be very clear!

Oh, and the sidebars (3) are actually in the footer of the blog. I like it!
