I have edited the original Ladybug layout and modified the colour from green to red :). I'm not sure whether the colour is too striking or not. This is the first time I designed a blog layout in red.
This is the snapshot of the Ladybug (red theme)
The snapshot of the comment section.
This new blogger layout/template is compatible with Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 2. There is one issue with Internet Explorer 6 though. The header is created in gif format and thus, when view using Internet Explorer 6, white corner appear around the header image as shown below. Issue has been fixed :).
Installation Guide
- Make sure you backup your original blog layout/template in your computer. How to migrate from old blogger to new blogger.
- Download the ladybug (red theme) by right click and click save link as....
- There are several links that need to be updated with your blog url.
- open the file with Notepad.
- Search this in the file yourblogname and update this to your blogspot name. There are 5 places where you need to update the blogspot name.
- save the file.
- open the file with Notepad.
- Login into Blogger and click layout. Click edit html tab and upload ladybug.xml by clicking upload button.
- At this point, Blogger may ask you that the current widget setting will be deleted. Please save the setting into a text file [eg Notepad, Microsoft Word] if you are going to use the widget in the future. Otherwise, click confirm and save.
- Next, click setting tab. Go to formatting and choose the following options.
- language: English (United States)
- Date Header format: Month, Day, Year. Please make sure the name of month in abbreviation form. For example, June 16 2007 will be written as Jun 16 2007. This step is to ensure the date will fit into the date-calendar icon.
- Final step is to check your blog and hopefully you will have Ladybug Theme :D.
