Hi,
I’m trying to upload this template, but the images won’t load onto the page. Are there any special instructions I need to know about. I have tried uploading several times to no avail, blogger offers no support and I am in love with this template.

That’s true, sorry maybe i’m still a newbie, how to upload the image files?
Thanks for this template. I really like it.
But can i know how can the date of the post shown?
I can’t find the way as I already edit the blog bogy to show the date, but it still doesn’t show. I’m not familiar with the btemplate code and don’t know who to edit them
To mintoro:
To show the date,
1. Sign in
2. In your dashboard, click settings (or you could click the tab SETTINGS)
3. Under Settings, go to the Formatting Tab.
4. You could put change the date/time in your Timestamp Format.
5. Click Save Settings.
To Kate and Yofie:
I had not encountered problems downloading it. You could try these steps:
1. Click Download.
2. In the WINRAR program, click the Desk Mess folder (NOT DOUBLE CLICK)
3. Click Extract to
4. Choose the destination. It would be more easier if you had putted it in your desktop.
5. If the extraction is done, close the window and go to your desktop.
6. Double Click the Desk-Mess folder. You will see another Desk-Mess folder inside. Double-click it.
7. You could see 2 icons. Right-click Desk-mess.xml.
8. On the selection go to Open With > Notepad. (If Notepad was not on the list, click Choose Program then find Notepad.)
9. You could now see the raw document. Copy it.
10. In your blogger account, go to Layout > Edit HTML.
11. Paste the XML Document in the workspace.
12. Some page elements must be deleted. If you are asked to delete them, confirm delete. If not, that’s better.
13. Ready to view your blog!
How can I change the linked tabs at the top of the page. In stead of “Home”, “Post RSS”, “Comments” and “Edit”, I’d like it to say “Home”, “Info”, “Contact”, etc…..
Well, the template is great, but it doesn’t show the date. And what you said to mintoro – it’s not working. I have changed the date/time in my timestamp format for several times and it’s still not working.
So, can you help me please ?

Hi Guys, Im really really new at this. i got this layout to work on my blog, but I have some concerns.
How exactly do the comments works for this? Like will people be able to leave a comment, i cant seem to find any link for it, except for the comment tab at the top, which doesnt seem to want to work? Also, would ppl be able to leave a comment per post? i see the sticky note with 0, but i dont kno how to tell ppl to leave a comment & where.
plz help…thanks
Sorry! Take Two:
@Eriu @mintoro @Ion
In case you guys or anyone else is still trying to figure out how to display the date in Desk Mess template for Blogger, I think I’ve figured it out. Go to Layout->Edit HTML->Expand Widget Templates.
Then do an Edit->Find for “posted”. This should take you to the code for the timestamp. After the word “on” (stands alone), I pasted the following:
<b:if cond=’data:post.dateHeader’>
<data:post.dateHeader/>
</b:if>
at
just before this part:
<b:if cond=’data:top.showTimestamp’>
<b:if cond=’data:post.url’>
<data:post.timestamp/>
</b:if>
I had also changed my date format to July 31, 2009 before I did this (as I was trying some of the suggestions above), but I don’t think this is important or made a difference.
I hope this helps! No guarantee that it will (I don’t actually know HTML beyond fiddling), but if you check my page I use the Desk Mess template and it worked for me.
Thank you for this beautiful template
. I absolutely love it.
Hihi guys,
How can i delete my pots that in Posts RSS? Need the answer urgently. Thank!
@Eriu @mintoro @Ion @Sal
For the life of me I could not get the code that Sal posted to work. After trial and error (and a lot of web research), I realized the problem.
If you copy and paste the code that Sal wrote (which is entirely correct!), the quotes will be italisized. So you have to go in and just retype the quotes (‘) around ‘data:post.dateHeader’. Just delete them and retype them. After that it worked for me!!!
Thanks, Sal!

Sal-can you help me change the edit tap at the top to “about” like you have on your cool site. Thanks for the HTML date code-it worked! I appreciate your knowledge and help.
Cindy
