Blogger Template: Bannr 2007-07-22 17:59:00 Download | DemoThe main features of this template are its large horizontal ad banner at the top and the 3 side columns. The side columns can be made into just 2 columns by not filling up the page elements for the top sidebar. So, it's kinda more like a flexible column template than just a 3 or 4 column template. All the sidebars can be customized separately: you can make the borders visible or blend with the backgrounds, and have the sidebars in different color sets.The header is made thin to put more focus on the banner. You can use the default plain header, or use your own header with an image size of 1000 x 60 pixels. Read more:Blogger
Blogger Template: nuDzelque 2007-07-11 15:15:00 Download | DemoThis is my 32nd template. It's based on my latest (3rd version) Dzelque blog template - hence nuDzelque. I made some minor adjustment though to make it not look exactly like my blog.It's based on a simple 2 color combination. The default is black and white, but you can easily change it to any other color combination.In the demo page, the header is based on simple text titles. But you can upload a header image (size: 800 x 100 pixels) replacing these default titles to make it more personalized.Some care:The date header block is meant for the short version of date (as in my blog). If you want a longer version, then you have to change the code in the h2.date-header {...} container: decrease the value 400 to make the date header block longer. Read more:Blogger

Nothing beats the satisfaction of using something that you build yourself.So, in the long term, I'm predicting that the use
