Blogger Templates

Before we start on our critique of numerous Blogger XML Template Blogcrowds has converted, there is still a bit of housekeeping to do.

The appearance of the blog is improved with the new template based from Green Marinee (which will be available for everyone to download in a few days); Now the content itself needs to be organized. For example, the labels are in major disarray, the cases don't match and there are many places two labels are used when one could have done the job. For some nameless reason this bothers me very much, so I set out to relabel all the previous entries.

During this experience, I found out the hard way that Blogger Labels are very difficult to edit. Contrary to what I hoped, you cannot simply correct the labels and the entries would following suit; you have to actually go through every single post and relabel each. Furthermore, you cannot correct a post until you delete every post with the same label. Otherwise when you alter a label, it will simply take the form/casing of the previous labels.

So, there I was blasting the label from every single entry and reentering them. I don't have many post compared to what I should have considering this blog has been around since July 30, 2006, but 40 is still quite a workload. Instead of the five minutes I thought I would spend over twon reorganizing the content and lables, I spent a good solid 20 minutes. In the end, I now have a very clean straightforward labels section that is far easier for visitors to browse through and find exactly what they need.

Here organized into different categories is a look at different entries and template I wrote about. They'll make a good read on a rainy day:

Templates - Blogger 3 Column Mods: Rounders, Herbert Jellyfish Sand Dollar Tekka, 565 897, Harbor Scribe, Denim, Dots, Tic Tac, Minima, Moto, Snapshot, Thisaway

Hack/Mods:
Remove Blogger Navbar
Insert Google Adsense into Blogger XML Part I
Insert Google Adsense into Blogger XML Part II

Design/CSS:
The Common Sidebay Slipping Problem & Solution
Cross Browser Coding Part I - Part II - Part III

These are just some general excerpts, feel free to look around as well.

When was the last post man? March 12th? and what, that entry was a random plug into this other blog? Does that even count?

Ok, let's see What's today? May 4th? Whew, almost two month, this blog must be abandoned and the blogger dead...


Fortunately in the blogosphere, resurrection does not require the will of God and death is just a minor glitch in the grand scheme of far greater things. Hallelujah Chorus...Crescendo...Hallelujah Chorus

Anways, throw away the theatric, you get the idea. WE ARE BACK. Blogger Template at http://customtemplates.blogspot.com/ IS ALIVE AND KICKING!!

We have been preparing the Rebirth for a while. Those who visited before may noticed we have changed our template from Field of Dreams to a stunning black and green template modified from Green Marinee. Its about time for the blog that showcases new Blogger XML Templates to upgrade from a classic template.

On top of design changes, we are also going to take a new approach to our content. If you look around you'll see the majority of the post are regarding new releases of Blogger XML Template and write now the content is pretty generic nothing really 'worth' reading. Well we're going to change that. Following each template and download links we may include paragraphed covering the design style of the template, room for improvement, or coding style. There may still occasionally be a couple of entry just showing a list of new template it just means "no comment as of right now".

To wrap things up, I hope you are excited to see some amazing templates in the days to come. For those who can't wait, Blogcrowds has dozens of new blogger templates added feel free to browse through them.

p.s. about the title of this entry, I couldn't help it although it has nothing to do with the content.

A blog about blogging - Sometimes it seems like every other blog in the entire blogosphere is on this topic. Well, I guess every blogger want to share with others about his/her experience. So, it looks like high time for me to start my own :D

Before, I used http://blogcrowds.blogspot.com mainly to test out and learn about Blogger Beta XML coding, now its time to put it to a better use.

I'll be offering tips and advice I learned from running my blogs and my website Blogcrowds. Like many other blogs, these tips will probably focus on managing, promoting, monetizing your blog or website. However, what will be different is that I don't claim I am good at this or tremendously successful at all. In fact I'm not exactly satisfied with the progress of Blogcrowds.

I'll share with the readers what I think works well, if it worked or not through trial, error and everything in between.

I hope you will enjoy reading Blogging2.0 and find the entries useful. I look forward to seeing you again soon :)
