As of today, 11/17/09, I will no longer be offering free templates. Also, if you have one of my free templates you may think about either hosting the images at your own image hosting site like photobucket.com or finding a new template all together. I am incurring monthly bandwidth charges that I am not being compensated for on this blog. It was a great idea, but it is just too big of a task for one person. None of the templates you previously downloaded are guaranteed to be around forever so please feel free to email me if you need help hosting the images.

I will still be offering blog design and html tips periodically.

How to Download and Use These Templates

1. Click on the "Download" link of the template you would like.

2. Open that .txt file up

3. Go to your old html code

4. BACK UP YOUR TEMPLATE

6. Near the bottom of your old template you will need to copy from <b:section to </b:section> for the crosscol-wrapper, main-wrapper, side-wrapper, and footer (if you have widgets in these it will say). Here is an example of the crosscol-wrapper and main-wrapper and what to copy:

Here is an example of the sidebar-wrapper and what to copy:

7. Place the OLD widget codes into your NEW html that is in the .txt file one by one.
8. When you are finished copying widget codes you can then select all, copy, and paste this NEW entire code into your HTML on blogger.
9. If you are about to delete widgets it will warn you!
10. If all is well, then SAVE!
