Mode Parisienne 3 Columns

Here's a 3 column version of the Mode Parisienne template (2 column template here).

Please note that if you want to edit the included blank header to include your own header text, then please feel free to do so. The blank header image is included in the zipped folder.

Information on how to create (and then add) your own header image, follow these instructions. Otherwise, the template below just comes generically with a plain text image.

STOP THE PRESS!

Why not edit the header image and get something a bit spiffier?

I have included the blank .jpg image in the zipped folder so you can add your own title/description in whatever font you like.

This is, in a nutshell, what you have to do:

1. Open the header image in your graphics program*. Add your own header title text/description. Save this image.
   
   I came up with this:
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. Go to LAYOUT > PAGE ELEMENTS and click "Edit" in the header area. You are basically going to tell the blog to show this new image in stead of your boring old plain text header! Click image below for a grab on what to click:
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. Done!
   

* You don't need Photoshop (or such) any more because there's something called Pixel Editor which I seem to have within my Firefox Browser. I have no idea if this is now included in Firefox or if I installed the plugin. When I right click on an image, one of the choices is "Edit Image" and when I click that, it brings up a very 'Adobe' inspired editing window:

It looks pretty freaking sweet.

Saw A Ship - Cute Sailor Template

Hey! Who said I never make any "boy" templates?

Well, if you said that, you are WRONG! Here's one here - well, admittedly it's still kinda cutesy. But it's blue and it has a picture of a boat.... so that's probably as masculine as I am going to do. I hope someone, somewhere likes it.

And YES! I plan on making some different colours and different looks, cos I like this kinda thing a lot. If you find your header doesn't fit in well, then you may have to change the font size in the "Fonts & Colours" area of Blogger.

Vine Me Up & Down Blogger template

Apologies for not posting many templates recently! Ahh, I have been SO BUSY! Here is one I have had up my sleeve for a while. It has a flowery frame at the top and bottom of the main blog area which makes it ultra pretty! Hope you like it! xx

Hey Pretty Lady! - XML blogger template

Before I post the template I just want to let you know about this post (incase you haven't read it yet) which has something to do with keeping your widgets when you change templates! YES IT IS NOW POSSIBLE! Read about it here.

I am trying to get my head around how this may affect my templates when you upload them. Is it possible for me to make my templates with no sidebar and "main blog" data? I have no idea. But if you have any problems, please let me know and I'll try and figure out what the best way of making my templates is. Urgh, I have a feeling things might go a little crazy.

Anyhoo...

Here's another pin up girl template! Weee, I really could look at pin up girls all day (they are so pretty!). This template is wide - 950px to be exact - and it's one I've been meaning to post for a while. I hope you like it.

Leafy Subject - pretty, leafy template!

Here is a design I have had in the wings for some time, never seeming to have the time to quite finish it off. It's fairly simple, clean and classic and has a repeating image of dangling leaves that goes across the top of the page. It's very pretty (perfectly suited to an enviro-blog too).

Don't forget to become a fan of yummylolly.com on Facebook too! Link is: here.

Pin Me Up - Pin up girl XML blogger template

This is kind of in the same vein as 'A Dream Girl for Dan' (because that template is one of my absolute favourites! It's simple, yet elegant and I hope ... if you like pin up girls... you like this one.

The background is changeable from within the colours and fonts area (although the middle "blog" box will remain white). xx

1990s Nightmare! (not a very serious template, but here you go)

OK, so I just realised that the 1990s were 20 YEARS AGO! Holy cow, how long ago was that? (although it seemed like yesterday!). I started using the internet {properly} in about 1997 and it was all about flashy web graphics, animated gifs and things that I thought were pretty awesome. In reality they were pretty ugly - well, looking back they certainly are.... but at the time *sigh*

Let me just say, this template is not meant to be taken seriously. It uses some graphics you may remember (and some you may want to forget). Please note that the links - under construction, email me, etc - are not real, they are just for decorative purposes.

Quite Contrary (of the Mary Mary fame)

Happy new year to you all! Apologies for not posting a template sooner but I had a big, crazy, month full of birthdays, Christmas, new year and then more birthdays! It was kind of crazy!
Here is a template (sorry, I make no apologies about it being deliciously pink) with a background by Ava7Patterns. Also, it's made from transparent pngs - so if you happen to be using IE6 (less than 4% of you, you won't be able to use this one due to transparent pngs looking crappy on IE6, sorry).

Wanted: For Christmas - Santa has been naughty this year!

Here is a pretty cheeky Christmas themed template (you can use it if you like Christmas or if you don't: Santa & Frosty have been naughty after all!). I don't really like the dripping-in-grungy-snowflake themed templates - sorry if you do ;-) - but this is something for someone who's got a bit of a sense of humour and likes simplicity. it's not like you'll be using this template all year or anything {or will you??? I do admit that my favourite coffee mug is a Christmas one that I use all year 'round}

Ta-Da! Free template - 3 column Blogger template

Oh man I'm so behind. I wanted to post some Christmas templates but so far I have only posted the colourful baubles one {view it here} but like I said... I'm so behind. I have been so busy lately that it's not funny! Christmas is just around the corner -- HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? Send all explanations to me, via Santa.
I will have a Christmasy template in the next few days. In the mean time, enjoy this:

Dandy - XML blogger template

Here is a template with a dark (black) background with a beautiful dandelion image. You can change the red header text to be whatever colour you want but I thought the red suited the yellow quite well.

Christmas Baubles - XML Blogger template. Bright, beautiful and baubleicious!

Here's one of my Christmas templates (more coming soon!). I love a good bauble - ok, I know that sounds weird - but these images by Clarice Gomes are beautiful and I was inspired to create something colourful. You could say this is definitely *not* just another grungy snowflake brush template.

Laci-Maree XML blogger template

OK, one more pin-up girl template (I promise no more for a while, unless of course you like them!). I know that not everyone likes pin-up girls like I do - and let's face it, they may not be perfect for every blogger, so I have also made it without pin-up girl

Temps Heureux - subtle, lovely (and don't tell anyone got the name from a teaspoon I bought in Japan)

Here is a template which is quite subtle yet lovely. I like the colours a lot (I thought about using pink text but decided on green for the headers - of course this is changeable from within the "Fonts & Colours" area so you can alter this to be whatever you want. I also think that orange would look lovely).

The frame/doodle in the header area is by the exceptionally talented Jen Furlotte at pixelsandicecream.com (possibly one of the best URLs ever!) and I full advise you to go and check out her extremely well priced graphic goodies! *sigh* I love people who share! Enjoy.

A Dream Girl for Dan - clean and classic pin up template

Here is an awesome template with a sexy pin up girl in the header area. It's clean and classic and subtle yet beautiful! I really love this template! I have added a little embellishment under the sidebar headers. Oh and as I have the main background white in the below test site [click for a live preview, it's sooo pretty!] you can change that background colour in the "Fonts & Colours" area. Enjoy 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!

Simple Simon blogger template XML

This is a pretty simple template with a navigation bar (editable from within the Layout > Page Elements tab) which looks fantastic when you upload a header image into - either a new header or an image behind the title/description (hope that makes sense, let me know if it doesn't and you want step-by-step instructions).

The background and innner blog colours are changeable from within the "Fonts & Colours" area but the navigation bar is made of images so you're best to stick with greeny type colours.
