Lazy Afternoon - free XML blogger template

Here is a very pretty 800px wide free blogger theme. The background colour is editable from within the "Edit Colours & Fonts" tab.


(click for a live preview)
  • To download the xml template: click here (zip)
  • Preview the site here
  • Need help installing this? Click here
PS: I have included photoshop image and a PDF file with instructions on how to get rid of the boring text header (seen above) that comes from yr Blogger Dashboard so you can make your own pretty headers with actual nice fonts.

PPS: As far as I am aware, the image is in the public domain. Artist unknown.

So, I tried to edit the header, I did as described in your instructions but the header wont show when I put in display: none; if I leave that out the image will show, but obviousy with the blogger text. So, what am I doing wrong?

Crap!

Sorry, I have made an error in the PDF (will remedy ASAP) - I have written the correct text but pointed the arrow at the wrong bit in the image on the 2nd page of PDF.

You have to enter:“display: none;“ under:
#header h1{
and
#header .description {

(not #header{)

APOLOGIES TO EVERYONE!!!

This is one of my faves so I've decided to use it...although, the 1960's Kitchen and Spotty Dotty were a close 2nd. All of your templates are so great and creative. Love 'em! Thanks!

Also, congrats on your nuptials! Wishing you much happiness and love!

Hi! I just saw this cute template. I want to use it. But I wonder: Can I change the background into a colorful color like...rainbow? I have an image that I want to use for this background--like rainbow. You can see it.

I'm sorry if my English is bad.

Hi Sekar,

Yes, you can change the background image but you have to do two things:

1) Delete this code (all of it):

{Variable name="bgcolor" description="Page Background Color"
type="color" default="#333300" value="#61C4D8"}

(but with the pointy brackets "<" and ">")


2) Find this code:

body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-size: small;
text-align: center;
color: $textcolor;
background: $bgcolor;
}

then replace it with this:


body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-size: small;
text-align: center;
color: $textcolor;
background: url(http::///www.imagelinkhere.com/image.jpg) repeat;

Make sure you imput your image URL. I couldn't view the image link you posted in the above comment.

Good luck!

Sharnee
