"How long was I in a coma?" - "Why, Blogger, it was just a few days"

Dear Blogger,


Welcome back from your coma.  Whilst you were asleep, many people thought about jumping ship to WordPress. Even though I use WordPress and Blogger, I still believe in you.  You are free, flexible and this is the biggest breakdown you have had, even since I have been using you (yeah, since 2003), and you know, blogs are cool and all, but there are other things in life more important and it doesn't hurt to remember that sometimes.

(Besides, there are so many freaking fugly WP themes out there that it's not funny!) 

So Blogger, my trusty friend - welcome back.


Love,
Sharnee

Did you miss Blogger a lot over the last few days or did you not really notice?

Here's a welcome back template in some lovely light hues (I don't want to shock you with too much colour after the events of the week), so we'll stay calm.  Green, Orange, Blue. Calm and relaxing.

The image preview below looks lame, but if you click on the template you'll see how lovely and delicate it is.

(I have used Google Fonts which are not changeable from within the template designer tab)

You may have cried when Artax died in the Swamp of Sadness (yes, from the Neverending Story) - this one's for you, Artax. :-). I cried a lot.

This template is a bit more plain than my usual templates, but I like the dark lines of the background.

Pyjama Party - free XML blogger template

Here's a design called Pyjama Party (no, I didn't spell that wrong, that's how we spell it) and I really really like it. It's a pretty wide 3 column template, but I love the colours and the look of it and I hope you like it too.
