6th Grade Rebellion - Free 2 column template

I made this template tonight and I really wanted to share it because I thought it was kind of cool and unusual and I thought I better move fast before the chalkboard look is out (or is it out already? NOOOO IT'S NOT!).

And before you say anything - I KNOW that most people don't like darker websites but I don't give a damn (a whiteboard is no where near as rustic and cute as a chalkboard, people!), so here we are:

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.

Random Halloween - XML template with randomly roating header! VERY VERY COOL!

This is a special template! (very special!).  The header image will randomly rotate - I made 8 different header images and every time you visit the blog -- or hit reload -- you'll see a different one!  Certain to give your blog visitors a trick {or treat!}.  The header images were made with Evilz dingbat fonts.

Halloween is coming soon and I always get a few requests for Halloween Blogger templates! Since we don't really do anything exciting for Halloween here in Australia but I know I have a lot of readers who may celebrate Halloween or just people who want a Halloween template.  So here it is:

PS: If you press "reload" too quickly you may see the same image again.  Not to worry.  Just slow down champ and pause a second before reloading again.  If you're interested, I learnt how to do the rotating trick from this site! <3

Roll Up, Roll Up XML Marquee template

This is a cross between a movie marquee and a circus theme - perhaps more movie sign marquee moreso than circus (maybe it's just the colours that scream out circus to me?). Whatever it is, I know it's not mega fancy but I hope you like it. xx

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)!

Cookie Top - free XML blogger DIY template

I love brown when it's done well (that sounds so odd to say) - but other, brighter, colours tend to look very pretty with dark brown. Anyway, I love this template. It's 750 pixels wide.

This blogger template is for those of you who are comfortable editing images and uploading them to the internet (and then replacing the image path). YOUR BLOG TITLE AND DESCRIPTION WILL NOT SHOW UP - this design is not interactive from your Blogger Dashboard.

Until you edit the image yourself, you'll have the same header as I do on the test site.

ALSO - here are some FAQs:

"WHY did you make this design like this?"
Two reasons really - one: you can edit this header image - remove the "Blog Title Here" text and put your own thing in (you can use any graphics editor to put your own text onto this banner and there are waaaay more font choices than the silly old internet can handle. DaFont: droolworthy!) and two: I just thought it would be more interesting - and things are definitely better when they're more interesting ;-)

"I don't want to edit my own header image! Can you please let me know how to make my title & description come through from Blogger?"
No. Your blog title and description is NOT going to come through (and actually "fit" in the correct bit), so bad luck.

"What graphics program can I use to edit this image?"
I have Photoshop CS, but you can use any graphics program that allows you to open/edit a JPEG or GIF - which should be pretty much any graphics program. I have included the PS file, GIF and JPEG.


"Ok, I made my own banner, now what?"
Now you'll have to upload it to some hosting on the internet. I host my files on photobucket.com (a free image hosting service) but there are more options out there.
Upload the file to the internet, then find the URL of the image.

Next, go to the "Layout" >> "Edit HTML" section of your blog.
You will need to replace the original header image - seen on the test page - to be your own.

Scroll down until you find the following image path:
http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa231/free_blogger/CookieTop.gif

.....and replace with the image path of your new title. Viola!

Petite Stars - free Blogger design XML

The background in the header is a tiled pattern so I can't supply you with a blank header image for this one (but I intend on making it my future plan). Stay tuned for more designs soon - I plan to take into consideration all the ideas that my readers gave me a few posts ago.
In the mean time, here is a dark template with a star pattern in the header and footer.
