Holiday on Me - Dreamy Beach Photo Blogger template

I don't often find photos that I want to use in Blogger template headers but I couldn't go past this one. It's amazingly beautiful and I love all the colours that are hiding in there. So complimentary. It's cold and dreary here (winter) and how I wish I was somewhere warmer.
Hope, wherever you may be, things are good xx

Daisy Chains - XML blogger template

Sorry for my lack of posting of late. I am been a busy busy {busy!!} bee!

Where do busy bees hang out when they're not doing regular things? Why in fields of daisies of course! This is a pretty simple template with ~everyone's favourite thing~ rounded corners. It's simple but sometimes simple is good. Enjoy!

Joy n Balloon - XML blogger template

This is a very colourful template that is highly customisable by you! The background colours are all changeable from within the "Fonts & Colours" area, including the navigation bar, inner blog colour and post footer colour. As I have outlined below, you can use the header image of the girls and balloons or easily add your own. Enjoy!

This blog does not come with the header image installed! It is included in the zip folder, but you will have to install this yourself.


How do I install the header image?
Click on the LAYOUT > PAGE ELEMENTS tab. Then click 'Edit' in the header area. The 'Configure Header' pop up box will open (see below). Select the header image from the downloaded folder. Selecting the position of the header as 'behind title and description' will ensure that the title/description text can still be seen. If you want to hide it, select 'instead of'.

Easy!

Can I make my own header image?
Of course! That's the reason I have made this Blogger template without the header image automatically in the template. I advise you make your header image 800px wide for best results (otherwise, if you select "shrink to fit" it may skew and look weird).
Height does not matter, that is up to you.

Once you've made your own header image, you can just install the header as per instructions above.

Please ensure that you backup your widget data, as installing a new template will wipe/erase your current widget content.

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)!

LolliPopper - free XML Blogger template

Here is a delightful lollipop themed blog template (header image by Flóra at Flickr.com - CC 2.0) and I adore it! There are quite a few changeable elements to this design - the border colour (pink the example), the background (grey in the example) and the inner blog colour - below the header image (white in the example) are all changeable. So you can make this template as bright as you like! Enjoy!
