Free Blogger Template: „Nymphont Style”

Free Blogger Template: Nymphont StyleWithout further delay, I present „Nymphont Style” a free XML Blogger template I designed. I named the template after the Nymphont blog, because I modeled several aspects of the template after this blog, and it emulates the look and style that I seem to fall back on for my own designs.

I do hope you like it, for some reason I am particularly nervous about debuting this template! Below is the screen capture linking to the live demonstration blog, and following the screen-cap are it's feature details.

Features

  • My trademark ( if you will ): 2 column fixed width layout, the second column allowing optional narrow-third column, all sections "widgetized" or "gadget-ready" 
  • Trademark 3 column footer, also "widgetized"
  • And the trademark optional and customizable Linkbar, have as many or as few links as you prefer. Super easy to implement, details below.
  • Supports Blogger Dashboard editing tools, easily change fonts and colors in practically all areas of the template
  • Functioning Search Box included
  • Images included, you do not need to upload the images to your own server, they are stored in my tinypic.com account which allows generous direct linking bandwidth. However, users who have access to an image host are advised to download the images and upload them to their own server, as the bandwidth could potentially be exceeded in the future. Download the images from here. Specific instructions on replacing the images in your template can be found in this post on the demonstration blog.
  • Title setup optimized and corrected for better SEO.
  • Embedded comment form below post
  • Functioning social network icons in the top right sidebar. Your blog's data is reflected once uploaded, so they do not require editing. These allow visitors to your blog to easily submit, share, and save your blog. Or if you prefer, the code may be edited to refer links to your own profiles at the associated networks
  • Wire-frame setup for easy wigetizing and adding, removing and changing gadgets

This is non-negotiable. If you want to share or redistribute my templates, this is how it must be done. If you don't want to abide these terms, then you don't want to share or redistribute my templates.

Additional Details

„Nymphont Style” is a fully functional template once uploaded to the Blogger Dashboard, meaning you do not need to change any of the code, all data from your blog should be reflected upon it's implementation. However, If you do have access to your own image host, you might want to  hos the images at your own server. To do so download the images here and read the instructions here.

Add your links to the linkbar simply by clicking the Layout tab from the Blogger Dashboard, and then selecting "Page Elements." Click on the widget labeled "Linkbar," to add your links. If you do not want to use the linkbar, simlpy leave this widget empty.

The text located just below and to the right of the title in the header will read the text entered as your blog's description.If you do not want the description to display there all you have to do is delete the description within the "Settings" tab in the Blogger Dashboard.

What do you think of this template design? I would love to get your feedback.
