A note to those of you that put my templates up for download. I appreciate that you like them enough to do so, but please link back to my post and don't put my template for download from your site. I enjoy the traffic!

Another template hot off of the press! I really like this one. As I make them, with each and every one, I'm learning something new.

I find that I get inspirations from odd places. A Day Without Chocolate was inspired by a display at Cracker Barrel. Pink Stitches was inspired by a co-worker's scrub hat. You just never know.

This template is packed full of goodies:

Fluid Widebar (Hack by me)
Label Cloud (Hack by phydeaux3)
Fluid style (Hack by me)
Post title image (Photoshop brushes used here and in header by Obsidian Dawn )
Two sidebars
Post area
Lovely footer
Custom favicon
Fancy links (go ahead...hover over one!)
Clickable header on post page
Custom blockquotes

So...enjoy!!

HELPFUL POSTS: My Category Cloud...finally
UPDATE:
02/17/08: Fixed problem with text following blockquote.
03/07/08: Fixed problem in IE to eliminate horizontal scrollbar.
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:

Thank you for sharing.

I'll post this also on my blog.; 1/28/08, 3:28 AM

@free template, awesome! Just remember to link back to BlogU.; 1/28/08, 5:24 AM

Jie said...: Hi annie, i love your blog very much. Thank you very much and a thousand words cannot express my appreciation.

Anyway, i hope you can put you link that will open the link in a new browser window because i love to click the link at your blog but at the same time i don't want to to leave here.

what you do is add the target="_blank" attribute to your link tag

Thanks Annie, have a nice day !; 2/1/08, 3:04 AM
Liz Dwyer said...: Annie,
I'm in love with the template! I stumbled across your blog while in the throes of template makeover agony and I absolutely love the "Day Without Chocolate". I put it on my blog Los Angelista

Can you help me out with a few glitches though? I'm sorry to bombard you with these but I really love this template and want to try to make it work!
1) I'm not sure where to upload the
header.png image. I guessed that it should just be uploaded behind the blog title on the page elements page, but it comes out very small and oddly centered when I do that, not like in your demo blog.
2) The date, post title, and label cloud all float up into the header bar -- and then no labels show in the label cloud.

Any tips you can give are gladly appreciated!; 2/1/08, 10:20 AM
Sharon Pickering said...: @Liz, I don't understand what is going on. I'll look into it later today.; 2/1/08, 1:50 PM
Liz Dwyer said...: Thanks so much! Any suggestions you can give are definitely appreciated!; 2/1/08, 6:16 PM
Sharon Pickering said...: @Liz, all is fixed. Download the new zip file and start over.

It seems for some reason Blogger resized the header. (Odd thing though...it didn't resize it on my sample blog.)

I made adjustments to the XML file and the instructions. Everything should fall into place.

Let me know if you have any more problems!; 2/2/08, 6:56 AM
Liz Dwyer said...: You're amazing! That definitely fixed the problems with the header and the other elements floating up. It looks beautiful! It's still not showing the labels from the label cloud, though, but gosh, so happy to have it looking so marvelous! Thank you!; 2/2/08, 8:32 AM
Liz Dwyer said...: Sorry to bug you again, but I just noticed that it also leaves out your footer credits and I so want those to be there!; 2/2/08, 8:39 AM
Sharon Pickering said...: @Los Angelista, let me look into that. I know now about the credits...I used a widget, duh. But, let me check the label cloud.; 2/2/08, 10:32 AM
Sharon Pickering said...: @Los Angelista, OK, the credits are fixed...if you download again.

The label cloud works for me in the sample blog and my test blog. Have you chosen a Label page element in the dashboard? Let me know. This is bugging me.; 2/2/08, 1:02 PM
Sharon Pickering said...: @Los Angelista, FINALLY!! The label thing was a matter of placing the code above the &lgt;/head&glt; tag.

What I don't understand is why it let my label cloud slide by. Anyway, I changed the code in my sample blog and in the zip file.

Thanks for being my pilot tester!!; 2/2/08, 1:37 PM
Ron said...: Another GREAT template, Annie!

WOW!

Just wanted to let you know that I continue to find AMAZING tips on this blog.

Thanks SO MUCH!

P.S. I give you 10 stars!; 2/2/08, 6:21 PM
Sharon Pickering said...: @Ron, Thanks! 10 stars is ALOT!!

Glad you are finding helpful tips.; 2/2/08, 6:29 PM
Liz Dwyer said...: Absolutely happy to pilot all of this! I'm so glad I came across your site because folks like my blog's new look and so do I!

I decided to leave the label cloud out for now since I already re-inserted all my blog links and I if I change the template, everything will get deleted again. Maybe in the future I will. But I was able to add the credit by cutting and pasting the credit off of the test blog and then putting a link back to your blog in there. :)

Thank you again for all of your help and generosity.; 2/3/08, 5:18 PM
Sharon Pickering said...: @Los Angelista, You can easily make the change to the template like I did. Find the Label Cloud Styles and paste this in (be sure to include the &lgt;/head&glt; tag ). Actually it was that tag that was out of place and should follow all the label cloud code like this:

/* Label Cloud Styles
----------------------------------------------- */
#labelCloud {text-align:center;font-family:arial,sans-serif;}
#labelCloud .label-cloud li{display:inline;background-image:none !important;padding:0 5px;margin:0;vertical-align:baseline !important;border:0 !important;}
#labelCloud ul{list-style-type:none;margin:0 auto;padding:0;}
#labelCloud a img{border:0;display:inline;margin:0 0 0 3px;padding:0}
#labelCloud a{text-decoration:none}
#labelCloud a:hover{text-decoration:underline}
#labelCloud li a{}
#labelCloud .label-cloud {}
#labelCloud .label-count {padding-left:0.2em;font-size:9px;color:#000}
#labelCloud .label-cloud li:before{content:"" !important}

]]></b:skin>

<script type='text/javascript'>
// Label Cloud User Variables
var cloudMin = 1;
var maxFontSize = 25;
var maxColor = [213,84,128];
var minFontSize = 10;
var minColor = [152,118,84];
var lcShowCount = false;
</script>

</head>

If you make those changes, you wont't have to reload your template and all the links again.; 2/3/08, 5:34 PM
Diana said...: Hi, I was wondering if you could tell me how to change the icon that is displayed in the address bar. Thanks; 2/4/08, 2:35 PM

Sharon Pickering said...: @raymondm, looks like now is a good time to switch to blogger!; 2/6/08, 5:19 AM
justin said...: hey there, how do i add all of those link buttons on my posts? just used some of your text tweaks, thanks!!!; 2/6/08, 11:00 PM
Sharon Pickering said...: @Justin, I see that you have the link button working in your sidebar. So you take that same code and put it in a post (in the Edit HTML) window.

If you want it to be in every post, click on the Settings tab in the dashboard, then click the Formatting tab and scroll down to the Post Template box and add it there. Save settings.; 2/7/08, 5:21 AM

Have you ever considered doing a series of posts to walk the rest of us through designing our own template?; 2/8/08, 10:59 AM
Sharon Pickering said...: @map of new zealand, Actually, no, I haven't. I am so much in the learning stages with template design. It is an extremely slow process for me. And if it turns out, I consider it a lucky accident.; 2/8/08, 3:51 PM
Amanda said...: Okay, I added this template, then I removed it, changed my mind and tried to put my code that I had copied and saved back in and lost all my links -- is there a way that I can get them back again -- like from an cache or archive of them somewhere! HELP! I am frantic!!!!

Amanda; 2/9/08, 7:05 AM
Sharon Pickering said...: @Amanda, Sounds like you told blogger to remove the widget, so unless you actually copied and saved the link widget content, I don't know of any way to retrieve the links. Not saying there isn't a way...I just don't know how.; 2/9/08, 7:21 AM
Amanda said...: Yes, that is true, I did agree that it would be okay when I uploaded your template. It would not do it otherwise.....hmmmm, how do I find cached pages on google or whatever, maybe that would help....thanks so much for replying so fast! I am stressing out about it!; 2/9/08, 7:43 AM
Anonymous said...: This looks really good. I just put together my own blog. I need to ad some css to it tho.; 2/11/08, 1:41 PM
Kristina said...: I love the template and used it on my blog. However, I've read all of the comments here and still can't get the label cloud to show up :( It's not a huge deal, I'm just bewildered as to why it wont work for me.
It's so nice of you to help us all! Thanks so much; 2/11/08, 10:45 PM
Sharon Pickering said...: @Kristina, Have you made a label widget? If you have, nevermind. But, I dont't see any evidence of any labels in your source code. Open up your dashboard, template, page elements and add a page element...choose labels.

I did revise the code on Feb 2...did you load it before that? If so, reload it or else read in the comments and follow the instructions from this comment:

@Los Angelista, You can easily make the change to the template like I did

Let me know if you can get it working.; 2/11/08, 11:23 PM
candyQ said...: Hi! I used this template for my blog and I'm loving it! And I'm picking up a lot of tips from your blog to help me learn to customize my page more. However, I wanted to ask two things:

1. The navbar doesn't show so I can't sign in to my blog easily. Is there anything that can be done about this?

2. I removed the label cloud when I first installed this template but now I want it back. What should I do?

Hope you can help me out. Thanks much!; 2/12/08, 5:28 AM
Sharon Pickering said...: @CQ,
1. Remove this code:

#navbar-iframe {
display: none !important;
}

2. Add this code:

/* Label Cloud Styles
----------------------------------------------- */
#labelCloud {text-align:center;font-family:arial,sans-serif;}
#labelCloud .label-cloud li{display:inline;background-image:none !important;padding:0 5px;margin:0;vertical-align:baseline !important;border:0 !important;}
#labelCloud ul{list-style-type:none;margin:0 auto;padding:0;}
#labelCloud a img{border:0;display:inline;margin:0 0 0 3px;padding:0}
#labelCloud a{text-decoration:none}
#labelCloud a:hover{text-decoration:underline}
#labelCloud li a{}
#labelCloud .label-cloud {}
#labelCloud .label-count {padding-left:0.2em;font-size:9px;color:#000}
#labelCloud .label-cloud li:before{content:"" !important}

]]></b:skin>

<script type='text/javascript'>
// Label Cloud User Variables
var cloudMin = 1;
var maxFontSize = 25;
var maxColor = [213,84,128];
var minFontSize = 10;
var minColor = [152,118,84];
var lcShowCount = false;
</script>

Place it RIGHT before the </head> tag.; 2/12/08, 6:40 AM
Kristina said...: Hello, I finally got the label cloud working. The problem was in my internet browser rather than the code. Previously, I was using Safari and for some reason, even though I'd done everything right, it just wasn't showing up. In the end it even started crashing everytime I tried to input a label.
I switched to Opera and now everything is working fine. I thought this might prove especially helpful for other Mac users!
Thanks again for the template and all of the help!; 2/12/08, 2:03 PM
candyQ said...: Thank you for replying so quickly but I'm going to have to bother you again... sorry. :o) I added the code for the navbar as you instructed but once it was added in, the header got lopsided. And as for the label cloud, the code is still in my template (I didn't delete it, I just removed the label widget on the page layout) but when I added the label widget again, it's still displaying as it would on any blogger beta template. No cloud. :o(
What am I doing wrong? Thank you!; 2/12/08, 9:19 PM
Sharon Pickering said...: @CQ, I had an update to the template, and if you have the earlier version, you may want to reload it.

Or scroll up in the comments to find the revised Label Cloud code instructions. It was about the placement of the code in regards to other elements in the style sheet (the end head and skin tags). So, look that over again.; 2/12/08, 9:31 PM

Once the site is below the limit, it will once again begin serving as normal."

I can't download the template. Would you email me a link or post to file sharing site like 4shared?

Thank you

Thats why there's Firefox. ;) I'm starting to become more pro opera, though.

matchbox20girl said...: Annie,

Thanks so much such a GREAT design! I have been looking for days for the perfect template, and I think this is it.

I'm having some issues however. My right sidebar has disappeared, and everything that was in it has migrated to the bottom of my page under all the posts. Also I have some graphics errors with the heading.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?; 7/1/08, 1:46 AM

1) I'm not sure where to upload the
header.png image. I guessed that it should just be uploaded behind the blog title on the page elements page, but it comes out very small and oddly centered when I do that, not like in your demo blog.
2) The date, post title, and label cloud all float up into the header bar -- and then no labels show in the label cloud.

I did what you said regarding uploading the new zip file, but I am still getting the issue. All of the html coding looks foreign to me...is there a quick fix I can do for this?

Thanks!!!; 7/23/08, 1:35 AM
Anonymous said...: @Heather, I figured out the header problem. Look for:

#header-inner {
background-position: center;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}

and replace with this:

#header-inner {
background-image:url(IMAGE/header.png);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
height: 370px;
background-position: center;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}

I don't know how that was left out! I did some revisions along the way and somehow I overlooked that.

I have to run to town for a few errands, but when I get back I will make the changes to the zip files and also look into your label problem.; 7/23/08, 7:44 AM
Heather said...: Oh thank you so much! That worked and fixed both problems!!! Don't worry about the label thing - i think that's a little over my head right now - but now my blog looks BEAUTIFUL!!! How do I give you proper credit on my blog for the template - refer to your blog in a footer? (sorry, I mentioned I am a beginner, right???) :); 7/23/08, 9:24 AM
Anonymous said...: @Heather,
Here is the credits. Find:

</body>
</html>

And put this right before it:


<p class='credits'><span style='color : #987654; '>
designer : anniebluesky : </span>
<a href='http://bloggeruniversity.blogspot.com/'>
<span style='color : #987654;'>www.bloggeruniversity.blogspot.com</span></a></p>


I had a problem with this template a while back, and revised it...guess I left out a couple of things. I get confused. :-)

About the labels. You must open a page element (label widget) and select the option to sort alphabetically. Then label your posts!

I revised this comment. (Revisions are making me crazy) to reflect the correct place to place the credit line. Sorry about the confusion!

Like I said...I get confused. :-); 7/23/08, 3:57 PM

I agree this is a great site with promising products. You made a nice decision!; 7/27/08, 12:11 PM
Rum Tum Cat said...: i cant download this template. Can u please mail to me ? catryncheng@gmail.com.
thanks~~~; 8/10/08, 9:03 AM
Anonymous said...: @miao, the alternative download works. I think I'll just remove the first link...it seems to have lots of problems staying up.; 8/10/08, 9:06 AM

I've been looking for a nice, cute, 3 column blog template for months! Everything out there seems to be too cutesy, too complicated, or just plane computerized!

My only delima, which I can live with...I like to have the Navbar. I deleted the code for it and now the header doesn't match up. I am using the text pasting method. I even tried the alternate download, both have the same results.; 8/12/08, 9:55 PM
Anonymous said...: @Amy Lu, Here is your solution: find this code in the CSS Style Sheet (near the top):

body {
background: url('http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m116/astewart412/Chocolate/choc_bg.png') top left repeat-x #FFFFFF;
margin:0px;
color:#987654;
font:x-small Georgia Serif;
font-size/* */:/**/small;
font-size: /**/small;
text-align: center;
}

and change the
margin: 0px; to margin:-30px;

Now you can have the navbar and everything lines up!; 8/13/08, 7:30 AM
Anonymous said...: You are completely awesome. Thank you again!!!!! Keep designing!; 8/13/08, 9:43 AM
Anonymous said...: Okay...something weird has happened...the Navbar doesn't show up now. I checked all my settings and everything is fine there. Do I need to add the NavBar code back into my header?; 8/13/08, 10:24 AM
Anonymous said...: @AmyLu, I see the navbar when I visit your site. But this is the code you would remove:

#navbar-iframe {
display: none !important;
}

I did notice the header is still off. Play with that -30 value until it lines up for you.; 8/13/08, 1:43 PM
