Tutorial: The Blog Template that i Like

Posted by Arni Yusnita Ahmad at 11:52 AM
This entry is a respond to shu_ari regarding her inquiries on how to get a huge blog size and column like mine. OK hon this is the secret and let us share with other readers out there.

My favorite blog templates so far is from this website:

http://www.ourblogtemplates.com

The designs are simple and clean yet with your imagination and creativity you can dressed them like a doll. They are free too >.< Seriously i was amazed at first how huge i can create my banner and also uploaded huge pictures from photobucket. The linkbar also looks great and loved them to bits.

OK these are the example on how i dressed my blogs:

EXAMPLE 1

EXAMPLE 2

Final touch up for Arni Yusnita Ahmad.

One more thing you can add the link bar straight from the layout. Simple huh?

Steps:

1. To upload a template

download template > layout > edit html > upload > preview & save

2. To add the sidebar links/widgets (eg: followers, labels etc)

layout > page element > add a gadget > save

Note: Gadgets can be arranged to any position by dragging the box.
You can create your banner using any software and upload them at the "header" gadget (as shown below). The size of the banner normally stated on the template's description. It is recommended to check it before designing your banner.

3. To change the fonts & colors

layout > fonts & colors > save changes

So the key to make your blog looks great; choose your fancy column and size, and huge banner might attract your readers as well. Dressed them with your creativity and cancel out unnecessary widgets.

Good Luck and Cheers!!
