Herself's Webtools

I spent last week crash-course brushing up on CSS. I’ve determined that CSS was put together by insane COBOL programmers.

1) It is far more verbose than COBOL, who’d've thunk such a thing was possible
2) and it requires more hacks than COBOL to work properly
3) and in no other computer language will white space or lack of it break things so comprehensively.

As you can see we’ve a new template here. The first of many I’m sure.

I never could’ve gotten going on or put this template together with out The Blogger WorkShop: Creating a Blogger Template. If you are just starting out with Blogger templates, you’ll want to give that 4 part series a walk through.

I set up a free blogger blogspot.com blog and used that for testing. That way I could break things and fix them with out panicking. You should add a blog for testing to your blogger blogs if you’ll be doing much template work.

Template

Download the file. Change template-3column-webtools.text to template-3column-webtools.xml. Then go to your test blog site, go to template, edit html, and upload it from your hard drive as directed.

Be sure to save the information from your widgets. Google doesn’t save that information when you up load a new template.

And again, be sure to test and adjust it putting in your header image and telling the template where to find the image in a test area, not on your main blog.

I did not include the header image. I’ll be happy to send you a copy of it if that is what you want instead of using your own image. Or just drag and drop the image to your desktop same as you would with any other website image you like, then upload it to where ever you host your misc. blog images.
