Complete Site Redesign

The site is getting a complete makeover with a completely new way to navigate the various themes available for download. The end result will make it much easier and faster for you to browse the skins by "classic" or xml categories. A site search feature has also been installed so that you'll now be able to search for particular themes by name or description. This is going to take several days.

When the changes are complete there will be rows of small thumbnails on the main page for previewing each skin in the inventory. Clicking it will take you to the particular theme where you'll see it's full description and larger images. The redesign has been needed for some time now, especially now that there are so many themes to choose from.

Please keep in mind that all of the skins on this site are still completely useable in Blogger, it's just that most of the oldest ones have to be used in "classic" mode. The mode is very easy to change with one click by looking for the button beneath your Edit HTML window. So if you really like and want to use one of the older themes, you can.

As always, make backup copies of your existing stuff before you do anything! However, more than likely all of the future templates will be created for the XML version of Blogger and some of the older ones are still scheduled for conversion to XML.

So, please bear with me for the next few days as I get the site re-organization completed and as always, enjoy the free templates! If you spot any broken links, have problems with the site or just want to say hello, please leave a comment! Thanks!

IMPORTANT!

Make sure you backup or save your existing customizations like links and sidebar addons, hit counters, widget contents, etc. before deleting the old skin because they will be replaced by the new code. After installation just copy and paste your customizations back in from your original code.

Backing Up And Installing
Backing Up Your Old Template Data
Installing Your New XML Template

In some cases the template editor will ask to confirm the deletion of some of the widgets / page element sections. This will happen when you have widgets installed that are not included in this theme. This theme includes a bare minimum of widget elements. You should make backup copies of the contents of those widgets before deleting or you will lose the data! Once the theme is installed, you can reinstall your widget elements and complete the customization.

Your blogs title will automatically replace the title you see in the header. The "description" will display in the header panel, edit it in your blogs "Settings" area.
