Blogger xml Template - Goldfish
Introducing my first template for Blogger Beta! Featuring:
- Two sidebars
- A label cloud in the widebar
- Styled blockquotes
- Custom favicon
It was a fun template to design. Notice the rounded corners in the header and the white background? I became great friends with the GIMP making that! Layers, transparencies...it was a hoot. Such a learning experience.
EDIT:
Also, you can add your own text to the header if you follow the instructions in Tutorial: custom header for Blogger using GIMP .
If I think of anything else, I'll edit again.
UPDATES:
040908: 04/09/08: Added text file to copy and paste. You will still have to add the images as indicated in the instructions from the zip file. Go to the Dashboard | Layout | Edit HTML | Edit Template window. +/-Paste this text in that window:

You got too much in the download link ;).
@anonymous, thanks! I was so busy putting it all up, and making last minute changes and adjustments, that I didn't test the link. All is fixed now.
That's pretty nice Annie. I was wondering how you got the corners to work out. I was sure you had used spiffy or nifty corners to get the look.
btw I'm about to send you an e-mail with a time sensitive suggestion.
I like this template. I could use one with two side bars that actually looks good and blogger is so limited. Nice work! ~Jerry
@MrBrownThumb, I tried Spiffy, but no luck. It was all done with smoke and mirrors, my friend!
@Jerry Graffam, Glad you like the template. I think Blogger needs more fun templates, so I'm doing my part!
Very cool template, as an aquarium lover I'm going to install it on one of my blogs and give it a shot. Blogger is certainly in need of more templates with two-column support.
Great job, Annie - as usual. Gonna download it for my next blog and see how it doing.
Take care.
Greetings and lotta loves from Malaysia.

Yesss! I've tested your template on my test blog and I found that pullquote and post go side by side.
Still the same question: which part of the css or any part for that matter that will enable pullquote and post go side by side?
Thanks for your patience, Annie.
Greetings and lotta loves from Malaysia.
nice work, really!
@arahman, in your blog, it looks like this is your pullquote code. I would adjust the 40% value until I got the result I want...say 20% or 25%.
.pullquote {
width: 40%;
background-color:#ececff;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
color:#000000;
float: right;
border:1px solid #000000;
font-size=14px;
font-weight:bold;
padding:10px 10px 10px 10px;
margin-top:10px;
margin-left:10px;
margin-bottom:10px;
}
the new look is very nice ... you can get more ideas from here http://www.azazone.com
I wanted to put a floating side bar to my blog and for that i found a site named flooble which collapses and expands with one click. Even though I could have the code when I added it in my blog it is not working. I am not having much knowledge about hacks and all. Only a little bit. The link for generating the side bar is http://www.flooble.com/scripts/sidebar.php.
After adding it in my template its stating that your template could not be prased. Please reply to nithin_chinni2002@yahoo.com
20% or 25%? Don't you think it gonna be TOO small?
Okay, you're the boss. Oops! Sorry. It's suppose to be Ma'am, isn't it? I'm off now to test it.
Thank you for your reply. I thought you gonna replied it on my blog. Luckily I used Cocomment and Co.mments.
Greetings and lotta loves from Malaysia.
@arahman7, You can adjust those values until you get the effect you want. I tested it and that seemed fine.
the tips and directions are great. i can't stop but to say thanks for all of these.
i get this error when i tried changing my template to this.
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.
@Boy, sorry. I had done a minor change. Try again...it works now!
Adorable, lovable precious layout! How do you feel about my using the template and changing the graphics and making tweaks? I certainly would have credit linkage and won't touch it without your permission.
I just want to make sure that's OK; I think it's very common to do that with free templates but I love your blog so, so much I want your OK:) It'll look so great on my new parenting blog.
Thanks:)
@heidi, It is fine with me! Just leave the credits in place...you can add with changes by heidi.
Thanks for asking!!
I probably need to mention that when you are looking at the Page Element in your Dashboard, you will notice it looks strange. Don't worry! Scroll down to the horizontal scroll bar and that will show you the whole picture. I don't know why it did this. But, it works wonderfully. Fixed!
You just made me very curious of how to fix that strange looking Page Elements. I know it works fine although it looks strange, but... Would it be too much fuzz for you to explain how you fixed it?
Oh, and pretty template by the way!
@laila, I made changes to this part of the template (this doesn't change the blog...only the Page Elements page)
/** Page structure tweaks for layout editor wireframe */
body#layout #outer-wrapper {
width: 750px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
body#layout #header-wrapper {
margin-left: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
width: 700px;
height: 279px;
}
body#layout #main-wrapper {
width: 400px;
padding: 30px 0 0 0;
}
body#layout #right-sidebar-wrapper {
width: 150px;
margin-right: 5px;
padding: 0 0 5px 0;
}
body#layout #left-sidebar-wrapper {
width: 150px;
padding: 0 0 5px 0;
}
body#layout #widebar-wrapper {
width: 300px;
padding: 0 0 5px 0;
}
body#layout #footer {
width:600px;
margin:0 auto;
padding-top:15px;
}
I worked with it until it came together the way I wanted.
Ah, how kind of you. Thanks, you're an angel! I never would have guessed what Page structure tweaks for layout editor wireframe was for, not even what it means, LOL!
Regards from Norway.
That is a nice template. I like the two side bars but don't u think the sidebars would be better if they stands on the both side of the body....?
Hi!
Loving this template for my fishy blog, but I am having trouble getting blogger to recognize.
Here is the error: Please correct the error below, and submit your template again.
Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly.
XML error message: XML document structures must start and end within the same entity.
I've looked through the template but don't see anything obvious. Help? :D
Thanks!
@Starr, try downloading the zip file and starting over. Maybe the file became corrupt in transit. If that is possible. It has been installed several times by others, so I really dont't know.
If it still doesn't work after trying a fresh install, email me privately.
hi annie, you have great template designs here and am loving it. am looking for a template with 2 sidebars to the right but i am trying to look a header that fits my theme for a new blog.
so my question is, can i change the image on the header of this goldfish template?
@sunshine4life, yes, you can put your own header in place of this one. The actual size is 950 x 380 px. After you have a header and have it on a web host, use that header's URL in the template.
Hi, Annie! I love your templates. I'm using Blue Dust right now but I'd really like to use this one. I'd like to change the header to something that depicts a pen and paper (something about writing) but I don't know where to find images that I can use. Can you help me please? Thank you!
@CQ, look in iStockphoto or do a search in google images. That should get you going.
Ok, thank you! :o)
It's me again! I managed to find an image and was able to resize it using Irfan View but when I tried to apply it to this template, only a small portion of the upper part of the image showed. What did I do wrong? And how can I round out the corners? Thanks again!
@CQ, I use GIMP and Photoshop to round the corners of an image.
Was the image exactly the same size as the image you replaced? Try making it that way...otherwise you will have to adjust some margins and/or padding elements.
You mentioned in your reply to sunshine4life that the size is 950x380px so I resized the image to that.
Do you have a post or tutorial on using GIMP to round the corners? I don't know how to use Photoshop. I actually don't know what I'm doing exactly... just muddling my way through with your BlogU's help! :o)
CQ, much like you, I'm not a photoshop or GIMP expert. I muddle my way through also. So me trying to tell you how probably isn't the best answer. Maybe just send me your image, and I will see what I can do with it to round the corners. (But, please note, I'm going out of town for a few days, so it may be next week sometime before I can look at it.) I know it had to do with layers and transparencies, I don't remember the exact steps.
I'll do that, thank you so much!!! :o)
Annie:
Thank you for this beautiful template. I am by no means an expert when it comes to all this technical talk so your blog has been tremendous help.
As I said in my blog your template is definetely children approved, my kids love it!
test
how to add comment box like on this blog?
Annie is there a way to make the header on the Goldfish template clickable? Mine doesn't seem to want to click on http://scalejunkiecooks.blogspot.com/
Clickable Header
Thanks for these tips and information you mentioned here, just a great post :)
nice
Hi Annie, I like so much this template and I would like that you send me this to my email. Is this possible? Thanks
@Sofitach, I'd be happy to. Just send me your email address.
New blogger XML templates are easy to use as they are widget ready and error free.Template designers also make their templates look beautiful.So, you get professionally ready templates to download and that’s for free.Thanks for sharing this interesting article.Keep it up.
I actually created a really cool aquarium screensaver that looked very similar to this template. What was the GIMP you referenced in your article? Is that like Photoshop?
Keep up the good work.
nice stuff.. thanks,
Nice template- I might just implement it!
these templates are very cool. Thanks for sharing this interesting article.Keep it up.
such a cool stuff Thanks for sharing.
I'm a blogger : ) Thanks for this great information. I'll try to use this and follow what you say.
good stuff
I want to catch a gold fish one day that happen !
Yea...very cool template, as an aquarium. Blogger is certainly in need of more templates with two-column support. Nice post
