A great white template, bravo!

I personally think this is a very well-designed template. It’s not easy to use the white color scheme to design a template, but the author has managed it very well and even implement many professional features into this template. How about you? You can make this template better with precious suggestion and report, thanks!

    I would love to use this but I can’t see any comments portion in the template.

  16. I uploaded the template to my site (http://nittanydelphia.blogspot.com/) but seem to be having some problems. 1.) I do not have a “Recent Posts” widget. 2.) When in layout view I do not have an “Add a Gadget” box above the “Falcon Five” box as displayed in the picture on this page above. 3.) No avatar graphic is showing up for me.

    Help appreciated!

    Can you tell how to do the following for this template?

    1. Comments link so the readers will know there is a comment portion.

    2. How to use expandable summary.

    3. Also there is no Add Gadget on top of the RSS Feed to the right of the featured post. But I can see an Add Gadget in your screen shot.

    Thanks! :)

    Dont waste Your Time, this template has major issues and NEVER ends up looking like the preview which they are probably showing on wordpress.

  26. Hi Anonymous,

    Thanks for your report, nice to meet you! :D

    I believe what you said, this template never ends up looking like the preview which they are probably showing on WordPress, but it could ends up looking like the preview which they are probably showing on Blogger. We and Btemplates.com preview the demo on Blogger platform.

    Can you point out the major issue of this template? Sure we can discuss it together and make this template a better piece, thanks!

    Crap, the image at the top left will show but not the text next to it so your left with a funny looking gap.

    The ‘rate this post’ thing where you tick a box doesnt work on Blogger.

    I agree with ‘Anonymous’ – total waste of time. FHive – bear in mind we use our free time trying to get your crap to work, thats why Im angry.

  28. Hi Anonymous,

    Thanks for your report, that’s the right thing we are happy to receive, as it makes the Blogger template better!

    Can I know more about the ‘image at the top left will show but not the text next to it’? Did you mean the profile image at the top right? The gap between the profile image and blog description is based on original design.

    I have tested the template and the rating system works quite well. Can you give us your blog address to let us know about the problem further?

    I’m sorry to waste your time to work on our template. Please forgive us that we have still many thing to learn and improve, thanks. :)

  29. Hi Anonymous,

    I have received another report, and now I knew what you meant by ‘image at the top left will show but not the text next to it’, it’s Feed section!

    I have personally checked the template and the Feed section is functioning very well. I thought my setup tutorial might be not clear enough, so I have updated the ‘Setup the Feed section’ part in the post to correct and explain more about the Feed section setup.

    Thanks for your precious report, and hope this helps you, enjoy blogging!

  30. Hi Alvaris, this is a cool design and I would like to have it for my new blog.

    I am not a techie.
    So could you please offer me “support” to help me use this good template.

    Which one do you suggest that I download – the “Alpha Blogger Template” or the “Image Hosted version”? What is the difference between those two?

    Is there a tutorial about how to configure this template?

    Thank you for your time,
    anil

  31. Hi అనిల్,
    Nice to meet you, I’m glad that you would like to use it for your new blog!

    Sure I can offer you support to use this template.

    The difference between 2 versions is ‘Alpha Blogger template’ needs you to find image hosting server like Photobucket to host the template’s image, while ‘Image Hosted version’ got image hosted in our own Photobucket account, you can use it directly without upload the image and edit the image link in the template.

    I personally suggest you to download the ‘Alpha Blogger template’ and host image yourself, as it would be easier for you to manage and customize the image in anytime.

    Hope this helps and enjoy blogging!

  45. MIdo says:

    thanks nice topic

  46. Like the template. I Liked it enough to use it, although we customized it a great deal. I put the sidebar on the left, and changed the colors. I also moved around several other parts to better suit the needs of our business.

    While I know a bit about HTML and CSS, and I generally know how to look stuff up, I did have a few problems I couldn’t resolve.

    I couldn’t get the “Show Share Buttons” thing to work.
    also
    The “Posted By” line doesn’t seem to show up.

    Neither of these are that much of a problem, but it would be nice to know how to fix. Thanks.

    Thanks for this template, I am using it now!
