A Cheats’ Guide to Customizing Blogger Templates

The-Cheats-Guide

In each chapter, the tutorials will be illustrated with examples of existing Blogger templates. You can then build upon these examples in your own blog template, using your own colors, styles, images and fonts.
Full instructions are provided with each tutorial, along with notes where the code for the example may differ from that in your own blog template.
The example templates, images and backgrounds used in this guide are all included in the optional Cheats’ Guide Download folder which accompanies this eBook. If you have not already downloaded this folder, you can do so by visiting ?????

What you can learn from this e-book
This guide will help you understand the basic techniques of blog template design, from
configuring background images to creating a custom header, using clickable buttons and
much more!
Each of the four chapters in this e-book covers different aspects of Blogger template
design:


Chapter 1: Customizing fixed width templates
In this chapter, I’ll outline the basic techniques possible to customize fixed width
templates, including a custom header image, background properties and content
highlighting.


Chapter 2: Customizing stretch (fluid) templates
Stretch templates require a different approach to customization, since they expand and
contract to fit the readers’ browser window. In this chapter, you will learn about header
customization, backgrounds and template tweaks.


Chapter 3: Customizing the sidebar
In this chapter, you can learn simple techniques for customizing the sidebar, from
changing the background color, to highlighting your headings to help draw attention to
your sidebar content.


Chapter 4: Buttons, banners and images
Discover how to create clickable buttons and banners to highlight your content and links,
and how using images in your posts can help transform your overall design...
