Mizan: Good to know. Thanks for your ineterest in this template. You can use this template for your blog on Blogger.com
Spark: To change the picture of girl in the header,
Goto: EDIT HTML, find “main-img.jpg”
The browser will highlight the following code:
img alt=” src=’http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k_DnmK4oz2Q/S2vuttj_NuI/AAAAAAAAAsg/zDDFRHfsqPA/s1600/main-img.jpg’
Replace the image url link from above code. “http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k_DnmK4oz2Q/S2vuttj_NuI/AAAAAAAAAsg/zDDFRHfsqPA/s1600/main-img.jpg” with your image link.
Click PREVIEW before saving. Save when done
Hey, I’m trying to install this on my wife’s blog. I’ve got the template installed, and the picture changed – now how do I make the menu links active? Right now they all go to the home page. I guess Im asking how is this intended to work? I didn’t think Blogger allows for subpages. So do I create posts, and then link them to these menu items or what?
What would you suggest I do?
Jeremy: Along with the download package is a text file ‘Setting Up Link Lists’. It contains a short tutorial on how to set up link lists in Blogger templates. Please read it and hope you`ll learn how to set up link lists on your blog
What I suggest is, you can create posts and link to them. After all, if you write a post about yourself, you can simply link it with the title ‘About me’. That`ll become your ‘About Page’
Thanks for asking
Hy.I tried abou 50 times to put a different picture and it does not work.please help me!Thank you
¡Thank you for the template!
I use it actually in my blog, but I see when I get five pages of posts, some posts start to disappear, would not be created over five pages?
I do not know if my explanation is difficult to understand, sorry, my English is not very good!
Nina: Thanks
To set up the Slider Number Page navigation, follow the instructions on the following page:

Adina: Please contact me at my blog using the “Contact Me” page from my blog`s navigation bar. Let me know about your blog url and which foto you want to be put to your blog, send me the image url aswell.
Thanks for asking
I just uploaded your very cool template, but how do I change the defult picture, links et cetera? The only things I can edit via the edit layout page, are the: Hedder, Navbar and Gadgets. It won’t let me change/delete the defult picture, change/delete the welcome message or change/delete the red papercliped paper, links. Please tell me how to edit/delete these elements. Thank you in advance,
Marty R. Woodcock.
Marty:
All instructions are included in the package you downloaded. You only need to read them
I see that the template doesn’t allow for Blogger’s Nav bar at the top of the page, but I’d kind of like it to be there, so I can access every thing from the same place. Is there any way to get it back?
Vanessa: Please follow the simple instructions at:
http://btemplates.com/faqs/#vernavbar
Thanks for asking
Nm on the navbar. Between my husband and myself, we managed to figure it out. Although, would you be willing to share what color code you used for the yellow background on post titles?
I read the instructions, edited them with Dreamweaver, uploaded the changed template and I get this error:
“We were unable to save your template
Please correct the error below and submit your template again.
Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure that all XML elements are closed properly.
XML error message: The element type “b:skin” must be terminated by the matching end-tag “”.”
How can I fix this? All I did was typed URL’s in place of the # and replaced the defult image URL. I didn’t toutch the rest of the code.
I re-unzipped the template and uploaded it again. I’ll try this again, this time from the browser. I hope it works.
Marty: Actually what happens is when you open an xml template in dreamweaver(preferably older versions), it makes some changes to the code itself without letting you know.
The dreamweaver might have the changed codes under the “Skin” tabs.
Thanks
Can I get rid of the Welcome Note ?
Yes you can, You`ll find the welcome note in EDIT HTML code of the template
This is an awesome blog template! I just finished installing it a moment ago. The instructions attached worked beautifully and were very easy to understand. I am very impressed. THANK YOU!!
Lovely looking blog. Only problem is that when I try to upload it, Blogger tells me ‘The file you specified does not exist or is empty.’
I’ve downloaded and extracted it twice. Shows up fine on my drive – says the file is a 42kb XML file but Blogger doesn’t like it.
Any suggestions?
treestreesgreenones: Thanks
Huw Thomas: Did you try the template on another blog? I recommend all my blogger buddies to try the templates on TEST/FAKE blog first.
Try it on a test blog first. or you can try and get the template from my site, may be, that`ll work
2 Questions:
1. If I change the fonts via blogger.com, it doesn’t update. Any idea how I can change the sidebar and blog data fonts?
2. How can I move the main img (the woman) more to the right? (its not centered with my new image)
Thanks much!
dotcom: 1. you would need to change the fonts and colors from EDIT HTML code page.
2. Goto EDIT HTML page, using CTRL+F, find ‘#right-content{‘
The browser will highlight the following code:
#right-content{
float:right;
clear:none;
width:440px;
margin-top:-430px;
margin-right: 23px;
}
Make changes to the “margin-right: 23px;”
You just need to change the number “23″ from above code and click PREVIEW to see the desired results. Make changes to numbers and click PREVIEW until you get the picture placed the way you want.
Save when done. Thanks
I have no idea why I just received your reply to my comment yesterday, but I did, although we had figured out the nav bar thing soon after my comment was posted.
Would really like to know the color code you use for the yellow post title highlight though.
Hi, I am trying to use this template.. but everytime I download it, the Html does not come.. just the read me and instructions to change the picture.. how can I do it?
I´m just building my new blog with your lovely template, but I don´t like too much the post header color (Yellow). Please, how can I change it?
Vanessa and Dra: Goto EDIT HTML page
Using CTRL+F, find “.post h3 a, .post h3 a:visited, .post h3 strong {”
The browser will highlight the following code:
.post h3 a, .post h3 a:visited, .post h3 strong {
display:block;
text-decoration:none;
color:#333;
font-weight:normal;
padding: 2px;
background: #FFF200;
}
In the above code set, do you see the code: (background: #FFF200;) ??
That sets the background of the posts title
You can either change the color by picking your favorite color code or you can delete that code if you don’t want to show the background
Thanks
Rosangela: Try downloading the template from my site and see if it works. Let me know about it. Thanks
All Users of Personal Blog template: A few days ago, most of the new templates had this problem that the Page Navigation disappeared from the templates at my blog and the Older and Newer posts page numbers disappeared.
I’m deeply sorry for this problem and I apologize for a very late reply.
Here`s what you need to do. Believe me it’s really simple to fix this:
Goto EDIT HTML page
Using CTRL+F
Find this link http://evo13.googlecode.com/files/nav-12.js
Replace the above link with this link >> http://all-in-one-blogger-widget.googlecode.com/files/paginator3000.js
Save and click View Blog.
I am very sorry for the problem. Files in Google Code hosting was deleted by someone.
Thank you so much!

Hi,
Your template is great! But im wondering if the background red color could be changed
@Nicole: Yes the background can be changed. Here’s how:
1. Goto EDIT HTML page
2. Using CTRL+F, find “body{”
3. The browser will highlight the following code:
body{
background:#a50505;
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:15px;
color:#000000;
}
4. Replace the above code with:
body{
background: #a50505 url(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3t5AK2zdFKs/TCgbGltW09I/AAAAAAAAAFY/v-W38zRLJO0/s1600/background.jpg);
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:15px;
color:#000000;
}
5. Looking at the above code, focus on:
background: #a50505 url(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3t5AK2zdFKs/TCgbGltW09I/AAAAAAAAAFY/v-W38zRLJO0/s1600/background.jpg);
Replacing #a50505 with your own color code will change background color.
Replacing “http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3t5AK2zdFKs/TCgbGltW09I/AAAAAAAAAFY/v-W38zRLJO0/s1600/background.jpg” will change the background image.
6. Click PREVIEW and SAVE TEMPLATE when done.
That’s it!
Let me know if you require further assistance. Thanks
I’ve read the instructions on how to change the links – but I guess I still do not understand.
I had created “pages” within blogger for these and now I want them to be in your links setup.
Where do I find these links?
What should they look like?
I’ve tried putting the URL of where it was in pages – but that’s not working?
Just tell me where to find it and I can insert it in the code… I think. LOL!
