After hours and hours of stress, searching the Internet for a 3 column itheme template for Blogger, I finally made one myself...

It has all the cool features that the guys in MangoOrange have created for the Wordpress template, but this one is for Blogger (aka blogspot.com). So if you're a blogspot user and not a wordpress one, then this template is for you!

For now I have uploaded the template on my site, but later on (probably tomorrow) I will upload it to www.eblogtemplates.com

Update: I have changed the download link to a more friendly one. Once people at www.eblogtemplates.com will accept the template, I will post back with their link. Also, there seems to be some problem with Google Chrome, as it will (only sometimes...) click in the box while you drag-n-drop it. Don't know why.

I decided it's time to change the look and feel of my blog. So I started searching for the perfect template to use. Of course, I wanted a free, good looking, user friendly template, in XML format. I had found one in the old HTML based Blogger format, but it was to difficult to customize and I wanted something easy. With Blogger's XML templates, adding widgets is a 1-2-3 process that can be performed by anybody, including a not so experienced blogger like many of us out there.

Anyway, I found out a cool site that I even registered with and downloaded this brand new template for my blog:




(I'm posting a screen shot for the days when I would change to a new template so that this post will still make sense)

The website is called www.eblogtemplates.com and they offer exactly what they say on their front page: Free High Quality Blog Templates



The template I am using is itheme. I had to do some modifications for it to work, but you can find my comments on the itheme page (currently the latest comment, but I hope it will not remain like this forever :p )

So my next task is to transform this template from a 2 column one in a 3 column template, by adding a column on the left side. It's not that I don't like it this way, but nowadays, with extra wide screens, it's useless to have a very loooooong but not wide enough page.

Back to work now, I hope to post the 3-column template in a couple of hours so wish me good luck :D
