    ReplyDelete
  3. Great template, I was able to get it to work.

    It looks like the image around the blog post area still has the layout markers around it (light blue).

    Keep up the great work

  7. Don't try to copy and paste the code. Just use the option: Upload Template from a file or hard disk. It works for my girlfriend's blog.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Thanks el veler, it worked beautifully when I stopped trying to copy/paste. I saved the code as XML and then used the upload feature.

    ReplyDelete

  11. Help! I want to use this template. I saved it on my desktop & used the upload feature in blogger & keep getting the following message:
    Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly.
    XML error message: Content is not allowed in prolog.

    How do I get it to work?

    ReplyDelete

  19. Hi, I have a problem. The flowers kind of cover my heading. I've seen other blogs without this problem. Could anyone help me fix it?
    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Absolutely gorgeous. I do notice the background is a png and it doesn't have the transparency in IE6 and less, of course. I worked around it by setting the view of the post to one paragraph, the older ones are below and it looks nice now. Those that are having trouble, get Firefox or Opera!

  21. I did a quick removal of those blue layout lines. If anyone wants the image, it's at http://tinyurl.com/2tdx8o

    ReplyDelete
  22. Beautiful design. Thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  23. It really is beautiful. I was having the XML error message too - so thanks el v&#233ler for the tip about saving it and uploading instead of cut and pasting - it worked!
    Sadly, I decided not to use it because the flowers cover text/heading. Any fix for this?
    (But thanks again anyway!)

    ReplyDelete
  24. Is there any way to get this template and put it in blogspot without having to ypgrade my template?... Please, I LOOOOVE this template but I can't get it to work... I didn't want to upgrade my template 'cause I'll lose so much information.... Please help...

    ReplyDelete
  25. I have just noticed this template is missing the Creative Commons license that came with the original template. This license specifies that this template should be used for NON-commercial purposes only. Please can you put it back in the foot ASAP or I will have to ask you to remove the template. Thanks.

    See http://busfullofhippies.johnoxton.co.uk/ for more info

    ReplyDelete
  26. Love this template, but wonder if there is a way to make the extended posts option work. The info at Blogger says to add it between the style tags, but with this template's construction there are no style tags.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Thanks so much for providing this. I got it to work once I saved the coding to my hard drive. It truly is a beautiful template.

    ReplyDelete
  28. You have to resize the videos (by changing "height" and "width" parameters).

    ReplyDelete
  29. Gorgeus design.
    Keep up with the good work.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I just realised that this template can not present IMAGES !

    Anyone knows to crash this problem ?

    ReplyDelete
  31. Hi dear.

    We cant use these nices template.
    You must upload your image to googlepage.
    Thank you.

  33. I really want to use this template, but I don't have the option to upload the template in the version of blogger that I am using.
    Copy and paste isn't working for me.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Hi and thank you for a wonderful template :)

    I only have a tiny problem with it: it doesn't show the navbar. I'm really fond of using the navbar so can you by any chance tell me what should I change in order to get the navbar back?

    Thank you so much :)

    ReplyDelete

  62. To the author of this blog and everyone else, I created a new template available for everyone on blogger. It is called Greenway and it can be seen Here. Let me know what you think

    ReplyDelete
  63. Thanks a lot. It worked for me. Love it! But I think you will lose all the sidebar contents ou once had. Like tagboards, clock, or links. Only left with archives.

    ReplyDelete

  72. hello!! Loving the template. but having a problem with it. if you go to my site dazzlingsitar.blogspot.com the template looks great but the flowers on the side (background) overpowers the writing so much so in certain areas you cant see the writing.
    please help

    ReplyDelete
  73. I cannot get the background flowers to show up...I tried ryan's soultion but didn't help with background...only with the browser bar. Any suggestions?

    ReplyDelete
  74. i do awesome backgrounds for free at cutestblogontheblock,blogspot.com come and check them out!

    ReplyDelete
  75. i really like this template, but i cant seem to use it with the older version of blogger (ie. before having to "customise" it, so i see "template" instead of "layout") =(

    any way of using this for my version?

    ReplyDelete
  76. Just do a file > save as and save it onto your desktop and upload it.. it worked for me that way..less frustrating then looking through a bunch of code

    ReplyDelete
  77. THANK I USED FOR MY SITE HTTP:WWW.USAFASTSHOPPING.COM

    ReplyDelete
  78. I DON'T HAVE the option to Upload a Template from a file or hard disk in my blogger...I'm I suppose to find that in TEMPLATE then Edit HTML ?? PLEASE !! NEED HELP !! Thank you !!

    ReplyDelete
  79. This comment has been removed by the author.

    ReplyDelete
  80. So, I noticed that the original template has the "about, blog, or archives" tabs on the top of the sidebar. Anyone know how to add these into this xml version?

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  83. My blog is showing a photobucket display at the top that Bandwidth is exceeded andd to upgrade to a pro account. How do I fix this?
    Thanks Lisa

    ReplyDelete
  84. If you are having the photobucket problem, Triet Do's link still works. See his fix on his blog http://ryantube.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html

    you have to scroll down to find the post.

    It worked for me.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Heather, I have his link setup before, checked again and it still shows photobucket image.

    Has anyone found another solution for this???

    ReplyDelete
  86. In your template html, I think there are 3 places where an image is linked to an outside url. So maybe you didn't update all of the links. None of them should reference a photobucket image...you'll see it right in the url so you'll know.

    I just figured out yesterday that my "main wrapper" link still referred to a photobucket image. The new html looks like this:

    #main-wrapper {
    background: url(http://k.1asphost.com/batkhachienbai/colibri.jpg)
    top no-repeat;

    Make sure your http: code doesn't refer to a photobucket jpg.

    ReplyDelete
  87. go to the 'TEMPLATE'
    go to 'Edit HTML'

    check the 'Expand Widget Template' Box

    now find all line in the HTML code which contain the word 'photobucket'
    add '//' (two forward slashes without quotes at the beginning of that line) and save your template.
    NOW YOU ARE DONE.

  88. But this is just a temporary fix...can't we get a new link? I kinda liked the translucent background for the body. Thanks so much!

  93. this is really beautiful!
    still using it cos i really luvvit =D
    but there's this window that says "this movie or picture has been moved or deleted" by photobucket =(
    help!

    ReplyDelete
  94. emyegeeayen, I had the same problem, but I was able to fix it by clicking on the "Background Images" link next to template on this page. You can download the "maincontent" PNG image to your computer. Then upload that image to Photobucket. Go to "Edit HTML" on Blogger and cut and paste the IMG link for the image from photobucket to replace the old link for the image. There's only 1 mention of photobucket in the HTML for the template. It should fix the problem - or at least it did for me.

    ReplyDelete
  95. Beautiful template. I used it on my blog http://jyotsnas-world.blogspot.com/ and it looks wonderful! Thanks a lot for posting it :)

  96. Wow! This is one of the better blogger templates...definitely!
