Christine's Blog Templates

Welcome

I'm Christine, and these are some blog templates I've hand written. They're original, easily customizable, versatile, viewer friendly, cross browser compatible, guaranteed to work well, high quality designs . . . and ready to go on Blogger's new system! There are plenty of layout options, currently 48 to choose from, in 57 color schemes. But you are not limited to my color schemes, my templates are specially built to make it easy for you to create your own look. I stand behind my work and will help with any questions or problems. So check out these high quality templates today and imagine the possibilities.

What kind of template are you looking for?

To find the right template for you, it's important to know how you will want to use it. My templates offer a lot of layout options. Some of them are very versatile, and a single template can be used in several ways. I have included detailed descriptions of each layout, please read them, and look at the example pages, to find the one that suits your needs best.

My templates offer a lot of font and color options, and several sections into which you can place widgets, so many different looks can be created using a single template. The colors can easily be modified to coordinate with any header or background image you may want to use. When you are tired of the way your page looks, these templates give you many options for change, without needing a new template.

One Column- The PhotoBlogger templates are modified one columns, and all the templates can be used as one column layouts simply by putting all your widgets into the header, footer, and/or banner sections.

Two Column- Bill the Lizard, Widgetopia, and Section Mania offer two column versions. Bill the Lizard and Widgetopia also currently offer the double width side column (on some three column versions), which if used without putting any widgets in the other side columns, will create a two column display. On Bill the Lizard, that would be a 50/50 two column display, on Widgetopia that would be a 55/45 two column display. So that's regular two column layouts (blog column much wider than the side column), and more equal width two column layout options for both these templates.

Three Column - Bill the Lizard, Widgetopia, Section Mania, and NewsPaper all offer three column versions. NewsPaper gives you three equal width columns, fluid. Bill the Lizard, Widgetopia, and Section Mania offer side columns separate or both on the same side.

Four Column - NewsPaper has four equal width columns at the top of the page, you could choose to use only those columns, for a four column layout. Bill the Lizard and Widgetopia offer three side column options- two regulars and one double width- which, combined with the blog column makes four columns you could use.

Fixed Width - PhotoBlogger, Bill the Lizard, Widgetopia and Section Mania offer fixed width layouts.

Fluid Width (fits itself to the viewer's screen width) - NewsPaper, Bill the Lizard, Widgetopia and Section Mania offer fluid width layouts.

Maximum space usage - Bill the Lizard, Widgetopia, NewsPaper, and PhotoBlogger offer creative ways to use the space available, to fit more content into your page without breaking the layout.

PLEASE NOTE: These templates are only for blogs hosted at Blogspot or using Custom Domain. FTP blogs cannot use the new features that come with the new templates.
