New blogger templates (XML) 3 columns

New blogger templates (XML) 3 columns

Ashwini Khare - Monday, April 16, 2007 -

These all are free to download XML templates which will work with the new blogger {blogger beta}.Most of them are 3 columned ones.They have a back link back to this page.You can remove it if your want.If you want to motivate me, the donation option below is all yours.



How to install your template
Step 1.Click on Template title (For eg. "Minima White")


Step 2.Goto Edit template section of your layout tab


Step 3. Upload it from the place where you saved it.

Important: Widgets
By installing any one of these templates, there are chances that all your widgets are lost(means all your customization is lost and only default template would be their).
It is
recommended to backup your widgets. [Guide to backup widgets ]
A warning similar to the one given below will be displayed while installing them, Click Yes.



Update(s)

Known issues :-

  • XML error message: The element type "HEAD" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "".
I have tested each and every template on a test blog but still there could be some internal errors, if you are on experiencing such problem try mailing me giving precise details of Blog URL,previous template and the template you used for downloading

  • Unable to give graphic background in Header section
This is a certain error.I'll be in touch with Blogger Team and will be working to resolve this error as soon as possible.Keep checking this place for updates

  • Poor support
Well, I've been on a hectic schedule lately.But don't stop commenting, I read them though I don't reply them and try fixing the errors.As for few of you who look annoyed...sorry

That made two months that I created my blog and since the beginning I wanted to put three columns… Thnaks to you I finally found the solution. Thank you very much! I downloaded the minima white and there are two details: the layout does not appear correctly and I do not manage to modify the post title font… Is it possible to create a template with two sidebar on the same side (I'd like to put them both on the right side)?

admin said...

I hope it's okay to post all of your template on my blog. I have plan to post all free template I have found on the WWW.

Alan Bacchus said...

This is fantastic.

With the new code, how do I add a new page element into this new larger header. My old method with my 2 column doesn't work.

PS I downloaded the "Rounders03" template.

Ashwini Khare said...

@vorn : thanx

@ SC : what you want?

@bebidol: you can modify he code a bit. Anyways , you can download an existing like you demanded from hoctro.blogspot.com

@admin : I hope you read what comment I left on your blog

@alan: Add an Page Element in any sidebar and then drag it to the head section and save your layout

Peter Chen said...

Hi Allan Bacchus,

To add an extra "Add a Page Element" to the header, refer to this post:

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.

can anyone please help me here...

Ashwini Khare said...

@manaslipo

I have corrected the mistake..
Thanx for the feedback :)

daniel said...

Awesome! I really wanted the 897 template with three columns, and now I've got it!

However, one question. Is there any way to make the rightmost column have the rounded edge on the right side instead of the left one?

Another question: How do I decrease the space between the edge of the rightmost collumn, and the text? There's a big margin, that I would like to be a lot smaller.

Thanks for your help!

Jack Lacton said...

SonOfMoto looks the same as MsMoto. It's pink instead of green and I can't work out how to fix all of the colors (get all but some of the header correct).

Rajesh Soni said...

great job ashwini...I am going to give a link to your blog on mine's

Brett Royal said...

Thanks for providing these. I downloaded the rounders, and noticed that the show backlinks link is there, but it does not show any backlinks. I could fix this easily in the old blogger, but don't know how to fix in the new. They are enabled in the template. Any thoughts?
Again - everything else has worked perfectly. Thank You!

Terang Bulan said...

Dear Ashwini,

I've downloaded tic tac series and change my layout from 2 column to 3 column. Thanks for the code!

However, I found that my content were squeezed (middle column). Same goes to right column. It doesn't look prettier that way.

Can u help me on this. Make the middle column a little bigger and alignment is nicely centered. Just like http://penterjemah.blogspot.com

Right Column also need to be widened a bit. The rest I think I can figure out myself.

Hope you can revert to my request ASAP. I'm not that expert in programming though.

TQ

JP said...

I currently use a Thur's 3 column old blogger Minima.

The lower sidebar links don't work in IE7 browser (they work in FF & IE6)

Do you know a fix-- or does your new minima work in IE7 ?

Thanks!

I have problem with denim 3 column template. I can't fix it. I've discuss this problem. Here's the link

I'm sorry about the broken link. I can't include the link here bcoz it's a lil bit long. So here's the problem.

My newer/older posts links at the bottom page looks like this:

1.
-----------------------------------
.......Newer Older Home.......
-----------------------------------

while on other blogs, its display this way

2.
-----------------------------------
Newer.......Home.......Older
-----------------------------------
Someone tells me to alter from this,
#blog-pager-older-link {
float: right;
}
to this,
#blog-pager-older-link {
float: right !important;
}
But nothings change.

How can I change the position so it looks like the second? Thanks.

Ashwini Khare said...


@ Ronald:Maybe you can try putting widgets in left and right sidebar.

@ Anonymous: First no need to be anonymous

The suggestion you got will not work

I'll just figure it out and then reply right here

Nice work. I especially like your 3 column Thisaway Blue, so I helped myself. I hope you don't mind I changed the header.
Thanks a lot for providing it!

Ms.Wantab said...

Please help me, I followed your intstructions and I now have three columns, but all my content is gone. I also went to switch from my current layout to 565 and it will not change????

Lou said...

Thanks for providing these, they are great.

Should it be possible to edit the font and colors from with Blogger the way you can with their their templates? I was able to add additional lists etc but for some reason it doesn't seem to recognize any color changes I make.

Juan Pablo said...

hi! how I can put a bar with the feed, send email... like the onw in your blog? tnx

diariodesantacruz said...

Thanks for the job. I used the scribe template and yes... I had three columns. Several months all was good but suddenly, viewing Google Analytics, I saw a traffic decrease.

Searching the problem I discover that in some versions of IE (mainly 6.x) the web doesn't finish the load. It only appears the title and the ad (!!!).

The worst thing is that people that haven't the problem, adviced me what I'm telling you. What do you think it could be happen?

LondonBuki said...

Thank you! I have always wanted the three column version of 565. It is perfect!

Dean Geddes said...

Love the 3 column layout. You are amazing. But I am having a few minor problems:

1. Mainly that I can't change text color or size, or background color.

2. Pictures or widgets i put on the right hand columns seem to be offset to the right a little, having a little empty space on the left hand side and spilling out of the column on the right hand side.

Anything you suggest trying to fix these? Number one being much more important than number 2. Thanks again

three cloums template is good! my friend thanks!

Couch PoTATER said...

Hi There!

I have tried to use the three column dark dots template and unfortunately it is giving me an error when I enter in the HTML code that will not allow me to publish. Can you take a look and let me know how to correct the problem.

I cannot thank you enough for this!!! I have tried to go to a three column layout on a few occasions and it was tough!

I hope to see "Minima Dark" 3 colum template here....

Hello,
I am using the SandDollar theme and I greatly thank you for the freebie.

Ever since I began using it, whenever I post, it puts the letter "z" after the title.

I have not edited the html at all.

Would you please be able to direct me in correcting this?

To see what I am speaking of, please go to http://debtfreethrugpt.blogspot.com

Thanx,

maggie's mind said...

Thank you for the exact solution I needed - same look, just another column. Everything went flawlessly (thankfully backed up my widget info) except for one thing. When I added the code for Feedburner for stats, the top and right column take forever to load (the rest of the page loads fine). Any thoughts, tips, suggestions, help, etc.?

My blog is at http://maggiesmind.blogspot.com

maggie's mind said...

All fixed now - the Feedburner folks had an answer. Thank you again for sharing these templates!

Anonymous said...

I encountered this error in the 3-col Harbor template:

XML error message: The element type "HEAD" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "".

It would be great if you could provide the fix, like you did for Rounders01, thanks!

MBWatcher said...

Yes, thanks, this is great. I'm using Sand Dollar. However, I wonder how to change a couple things:

Text size in sidebars - used to be smaller; now same as main story text size.

Removing bullets from link lists/label lists. Don't need them.

Color for labels on sidebar items. It's black, even though I had set the color to red. Going back thru the Blogger editor and changing font/color to red doesn't fix.

THANKS!

Erik said...

I like your blogger templates. I am interested in using the 'rounders 3' template, but when I followed the instructions, I got a message that said I would lose all of my 'widgets' - all of the lists and items I have in the sidebars, etc. Is there any way to add this new template to an already existing blog without losing all of the layouts and posts? You can email back at etrain16@gmail.com if you would like. Thank you.

Nice templates! Where is the download link button. When I click on them the code comes up. Sorry I am dumb when it comes to HTML.

Jordan said...

With the XML templates are you still able to move the columns around?

I manually went in and made mine three column and also found that you can drop and drag the page elements all over the place.

Great post. I will have to try some of the templates for my other sites.

There seem to be a few bugs in the appearance of the sidebars.
I chose the Rounders2 - the green box doesnt appear on the top left side, plus - there is no separation between the elements on the left side bar.

Here is a link to my blog:

p.s - is there a way to "stretch" the template to utilize better my widescreen?

TIA!

I am illiterate when it comes to this. Thank you very much for helping me! I know you keep getting the same questions, but I can't see your answers to try and figure out how to fix it. Thanks!

Jenn said...

I love the templates and thank you for your hard work, but I found a few things that appear to be amiss (I apologize if anyone else posted the same):

1) The corners on the Rounders series are missing (on all versions I think) it might be that ImageShack was acting up.

2) None of the templates have the edit post icon when you view the blog. It's there, I just can't see it (and yes, I'm logged in) and I can't find where I'm supposed to add it into the HTML.

Thank you so much for this. I am currently giving my blog a serious overhaul and this is what I was looking for. The only problem I am having is with the header. I cannot get the smaller text under the title to center. I downloaded Minima Ochre. Any ideas?
