    thanks for all templates

  3. km0i says:

    Like It!

    I think it would be better if the thumbnail capture from the center of the image, not the top right corner…

    Thank You for making the best free templates…

    Nice temp. Thanks

  6. Lewis says:

    Hey, great template! Just wondering if there was a way to alter it slightly so clicking the image opened the post, rather than that image file?

    • G says:

      Look for the following line (somewhere after )in ‘edit html’:
      imgtag = ‘‘;
      Remove the following line:
      a href=”‘+img[0].src+’”>
      This no longer makes the images a link and they can now click on the title to go to the post only.

  9. bloo. says:

    Can you convert this template for me? I would like normal posts like this: http://bloo90fashion.blogspot.com/ and not as thumbnails. Please!

    bloo.

  10. Mel says:

    it is not possible to use the template. I always get an error message when I want to save. The preview works. can you help me please?

  11. Claire says:

    Hi, I realize that the original post page options (eg. time, date, reactions……) are all hidden? How may I edit to allow it to appear again?

  12. Ocean7Clothing says:

      You can edit following code

      .crop {
        width:250px;
        height:150px;
        overflow:hidden;
        float:left;
        margin:0;
        }
      .post {
       width:250px;

    I can not put it on my blog. help me

  14. Mark says:

    Hiya,

    I’ve the same question as Lewis up above, is there any way to tweak the template so that a click opens the post instead of the (shrunken) picture? Cheers, love your work,

    Mark.

    • Alternative Eden says:

      Same question as above, how to get the a click on the image to open the post?

      Also can a sidebar be added?

    • Biyan says:

      To pull something like that off, you’d need to fully customize your HTML and CSS. This change implied some heavy modifications in your template to make it work.

  15. Alternative Eden says:

    Really love this template.

    Customised it for my site with sidebar and social media icons. Trying to keep everything in a grayscale colour pallet except for photos. Need to work on the facebook plug in, as i want to keep this, but want it in Grayscale only.

    See http://alternativeeden365.blogspot.com/ for the results. Would love to change the photos to either open the post when clicked or ignore the click and only open the post on clicking the title.

    • Mark says:

      Hi [Alternative Eden owner]!

      I love what you’ve done with the template on your site, how did you manage to tweak it to make the homepage thumbnail pictures enlarge to a bigger and better size without clicking through to the full post? You can see my shortcomings in this regard at www.arseways.com,

      I’d really appreciate any help you could offer! Or if anyone else knows how to disable clicking on these thumbnails at all then that would work fine also!

      Thanks if you can help and are willing to!!!

      Mark.

  16. munasco says:

    I love this template, and i have used it, thanks. But i have a little problem here, in the home post there was only 5 thumbnail not 6, although i was changed the post show to 6 post.
    How to solve it??

  17. Kehoe Pohan says:

    hye,
    i love this template, but could u help me..?
    how i can put the tabs beside HOME.. i just cant do that..

  18. Pasarela says:

    Love your template.
    Only have one question.

    Is it possible to add a second text line under the thumbnails and their name that shows automatically the date of every post ?
    What code do I have to add?

    • Biyan says:

      Absolutely it’s possible, but it can not be done in single click.

    • Pasarela says:

      Can you please help me to add the date.

    • Biyan says:

      Search for:

      <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "item"'>
      <style type='text/css'>

      then add following code just before the code above:

      .post h3 a {
      	white-space: nowrap;
      	overflow: hidden;
      	text-overflow: ellipsis;
      	-o-text-overflow: ellipsis;
      	-moz-binding: url('assets/xml/ellipsis.xml#ellipsis');
      }

      Next, search for:

      <div class='post-footer-line-2'>
            <h3 class='post-title entry-title'>
           <b:if cond='data:post.link'>
             <a expr:href='data:post.link'><data:post.title/></a>
           <b:else/>
              <b:if cond='data:post.url'>
                <a expr:href='data:post.url'><data:post.title/></a>
              <b:else/>
                <data:post.title/>
              </b:if>
           </b:if>
            </h3>

      Put following code after the code above:

      <span class="date-hdr" style="font-style:italic;text-align:center;display:block;font-family:'palatino linotype', garamond, georgia, 'times new roman'"><data:post.dateHeader/></span>
  19. Claire says:

    Hi Biyan, I love your template too!
    I desperately need the share buttons to appear, please tell me what code can i alter? please?

    Thanks.

  20. Caribbelle says:

    Hey Biyan,
    I downloaded the template and whenever I try to open the xml in Explorer never fully loads. I waited a couple hours but it still didn’t open in explorer. Is there something else I can do?

    I’d really appreciate the help.

  21. caribbelle says:

    it downloads as and xml file and automatically opens IE. Whenever I try to change it for firefox as an htm, the code loses its formatting

  22. Ankita Sinha says:

    Amazing template,was searching for somthing like this for 1-2 years..

    http://beautydhaba.blogspot.in/

    But Please let me know what changes needs to done so that image click leads to blog post..Where can i make the change in the code.

  23. Mandisa says:

    Do you that the HTML code available for this template? When I downloaded it and tried to use it on my Blooger page it would not work…

  24. Yvie says:

    This is a beautiful template, I love the grid system and you’ve solved it for all us code-challenged people :)

    Referring back to a comment earlier here, can you post how to make the images link to the blog post? I tried simply changing each image’s hyperlink to the post url, however, when you click on the thumbnail it still doesn’t go to the blog post. Once on the post page, if you click the image there, then it does open the blog post. I’m guessing it’s something to do with the summary code (just I guess I have no idea lol)

    Any help, or directions to another article would be greatly appreciated :)
    Thanks

  25. isis says:

    Hi! Great minimal design!

    If I wanted more pictures on one page instead of limiting each page to 7 how could I do that?

    • isis says:

      NEVER MIND! i figured it out….you go to layout>blog post>edit> and choose how many posts will show on each page.

  26. Nickie Hutton says:

    Hi,

    PLease help :)

  27. Nickie Hutton says:

    I now have the template uploaded but wondered if you could help. The images on the main page are strange. Is there a way i can put them right, like how you have them in the above image?

    thank You for your time

  28. Glenn says:

    Hello Biyan,
    Thank you for an awesome theme.
    Just one question, how can I make the photos in the lightbox larger (at the moment they are about twice the size of the thumbnail) or scale them to a percentage of the screen size)

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you

  29. kat says:

    Hello,

    thank you for sharing this beautifully simple theme. just a little thing i need help on.

    I would like to have more posts displayed on every page, but i get only 1 or 3 (max). i already changed settings under Layout>blog post>edit>show no. of posts to 6 — but no difference.

    Some pages it displays 1 post, other pages it displays 3. i would like to display six per page.

    thank you very much for any help.

    • kat says:

      In the meantime, i have decided to use my old layout while i figure out a solution to this. thanks.

    • Holly says:

      i think this might help: add jump breaks to your posts underneath the first image and update them. Do that for the last 6 or 7 posts and see what happens. It helped me, but I can’t tell you why, lol.

  30. Lauren says:

    Hi. I’m trying to download this template but, there isn’t any html or download data when I download it. Could you help? i love this design!!

    Thanks!

  31. Holly says:

    Thank you SO much for this template. I’ve been looking for something like it for a while. My readers are loving it too :)

    Have a great day!

  32. gramos says:
