Artistic yet standard loading speed
Most people are disappointed with the artistic template, mainly because its high resolution graphic that decreases the page loading speeds tremendously. Desk Mess is a good choice for who aims for artistic view while demanding a standard page loading speed. I personally give this template a thumb up, how about you? I’m sure to be the first to hear your comment about this template, thanks!

Is this the template you converted this week? I thought you were gonna convert Zinmag gamezine or Zinmag tribune. I really like zinmag tribune and also has added my suggestion to convert that template.There were almost more than 50 percent comments that stated you need to convert the zinmag series. I too was patiently waiting for that template to use it under my new blog.. http://www.musicvl.com but…
anyway i hope you will convert that zinmag series or specifically zinmag tribune soon. Still waiting for that.. i hope you will do it soon. Thanks
each time i try to upload the theme on my my blogger it went bonkers. its in ZIP file and when i upload it, it goes like this http://i40.tinypic.com/1zfpv1z.jpg
what am i gonna do?
Thanks for your comment and expectation, I really appreciated these very much, they give me more motivation to make better Blogger template for every blogger!
Zinmag series is really an impressive and professional theme series which needs more skill and perhaps time to convert and stabilize it, and the good news is we have started the conversion of Zinmag Tribune which would probably be published in this week. ;)
And I’m excited to see how Zinmag Tribune suits nicely with your blog! Again, thanks for waiting our work. :)
that’s simply but nice. cos I love artwork than magz
keep on goodwork alva
I found this blog on blogger, if you could do would be great:

Hey Alvaris,
Think bloggers got enough diary themes :D
Thanks a lot! The gamezine is impressive haha I can imagine it can take a good amount of time.
But would like to see that template on blogspot as well its amazing!
All the best,
Cheers,
Clyde
CELEBS, be patient, Alvaris is the most dedicated WP to Blogger template converter I know of. He's right, some templates are really more difficult than others and demand more time. I think Alvaris chooses to work on other templates at the same time, easier templates, just so he doesn't feel stuck, you know? And also to keep being productive and always reward us with something new — clearly, he likes what he does! :)
Alvaris, thank you so much! <3 You know Desk Mess had already been ported to another emerging and popular blogging plataform and you making it available for us on Blogger will show the author how great his work is and how people really like this template.
Thank you! Thank you once again… :)
Thank you Alvaris, bloggers should really be proud of you for getting such good templates. And ya specifically thanks for starting to convert that zinmag tribune. Wow i am really looking for its release.
And ya i agree with LUCY.
Is Falcon Hive copying? Go to http://www.wordpresstoblogger.com. They already have that Zinmag theme and the Desk Mess Theme Falcon Hive already released… So what is the point?
I love the “Desk Mess” template, but cannot for the life of me find the admin login link on my Web site after this theme has been uploaded.
Suggestions?
Hi Anonymous,
Thanks for your comment, nice to meet you!
Honestly, we are just 2 converter who has same ability to convert WordPress theme into Blogger template, and the major difference is I released the template for free. I never recognize the professional author of the wordpresstoblogger.com, and most of the template there are not even provided for free use and reference.
Hope this helps and enjoy blogging!
Hi Stephanie,
Thanks for your report! You can actually recover the admin login link (or Blogger navigation bar) on your website while using the Desk Mess template.
Please access into ‘Layout’ and under the ‘Edit HTML’ tab, find the code below:
#navbar-iframe {
height:0px;
visibility:hidden;
display:none;
}
Delete the code and ‘Save Template’ to show the admin login link!
Hope this helps, enjoy customizing!
Wow, thanks for your touching words! I appreciated this very much and kept as motivation to make more better Blogger template. :)
I appreciate every visit and comment, and all I want to do as a reward is keep improving our team and produce more better Blogger template for you all to enjoy!
It should be my turn to express my thanks to all of you. Thank you, and only with you Blogger and web design can be better!
alvaris,
I cannot thank you enough for what you are doing. Blogger / blogspot became the best choice for me for a blog platform only since I found your site. google owe you big time man. I mean it.
Hi Alva,
I love this template. It really reflects me (a bit). Thanks for converting it & making it available for Blogger. I have downloaded it & love it very much!
Thank you!
Keep it going on ;-)
Nice template trying it out now on my blog, very easy to set up and I really like the theme, should remind all of us the desk clutter that gathers on our desktop, again good job.
Hi lightgale,
Thanks for your encouraging words. I’m delighted to hear the Blogger has became your better choice, and please remember that Blogger can only be better with precious blogger like you, thanks! :D
Hi Intan,
Thanks for your hearty comment! It also reflects me (very much). :D
Alvaris Falcon, what a wonderful and precious job you are doing here ! and sharing with the blogger comunity…I have just moved from WordPress.com, mainly because some features there,are only available with money first, but nevertheless I had a great experience there.I heard many people saying that blogger had no many options of templates but for my surprise I discovered people like you and I decided to stay for a long while. My friend how can I insert a new font in my blog title. In Wich html line do I have to mess and what do I have to do to insert a new font ?
Thank you very much indeed, keep it up that wonderful job and may God be with you my friend !
Definitely, you should move to gamezine after the tribue. I will be patient… but I hope to see it some day soon!!! Keep up the good work.
hi very good morning falcon, the truth is a genius, I like all the creations that you, admire you greatly and you really appreciate everything you do for bloggers, I am very happy that these transformations are the Templantes of Zinmag Tribune I love this theme,
I wanted to ask when will be ready templante Zinmag Tribune.
forgive if not write well but this comment is to use a translator to translate this comment is that I speak Spanish and I do not understand much English.

HELLO EVERYBODY….WE NEED A BLOGGERJOB!!! JAJAJAJAJAJ
hi there.. good job.. was wondering if it’s possible to remove the search box and put an rss email subscription link instead and how to do it?
many thanks.
First at all: WONDERFUL JOB! I just love this template. I was wondering if it is possible to show up the date of each post. Thanks so much
Hi Alvaris,
It’s me Intan. I’m wondering why the date cannot be published on my blog? Is there anything I should do to make it available?
I’m trying to upload this template, but the images won’t load onto the page. Are there any special instructions I need to know about. I have tried uploading several times to no avail, blogger offers no support and I am in love with this template.
You are so talented in converting these themes! I just downloaded Color Paper as my new template…and now I’m in love with Desk Mess…I may have to make a change again! Thanks so much for sharing your work for free…your templates are great!
I’m having the same loading problem as Kate (above)…none of the graphics load with the template. Please let me know what I need to do differently…thanks!
Hi Alvaris.
I’m Zara and currently I’m using this template (I just changed it past few days). I would like to say thanks for convert such beautiful template, and I do love it so much.
By the way, I’m pretty shocked when I found that you are a Sarawakian! =)
Good day!
hi. I logged in to my blog after a few days, and I see that the template is changed completely. it seems images of photobucket is appearing all over my blog.
hi Alvaris.
i want to know how i could change the image on this template. plz send the html code.
I have the same problem with Intan, the date is not showing, could you advise us?
Hi Intan,
Thanks for your report! To publish the date in your blog, you can simply access into ‘Settings’ and under the ‘Formatting’ tab, set the Timestamp format to the format like ’3/02/2009 07:53:06pm’ to achieve the date on your post!
Hope this helps, enjoy blogging! ;)
Hi Hadie,
You can access into ‘Settings’ and under the ‘Formatting tab’, configure the Timestamp format to the format like “3/02/2009 07:53:06pm’ to display the date on your post, hope this helps! :D
Hi scribbling papers,
Thanks for your report! We are sorry to cause the inconvenience for these days, and we have now fixed the issue for you, enjoy blogging! :)
Hi ZARA 札拉 [사랑해~],
Hi Zara,
Thanks for your encouraging words, I appreciate these very, very much. :)
Haha I’m a pure Sarawakian, and love the people all over the world, do keep in touch ya! :D
How do I get the content of my blog archive to be “centered”? I’m not very familiar with HTML, so it would be helpful if you could tell me where I need to go and what I need to change in the HTML to make this change…thank you!
http://awaitingourfirst.blogspot.com
hi
i did what you said about the date and it still doesn’t appear.
what was visible was this:
“Posted by pepper on 3:10 AM”
still no date..
thanks in advance.. ;)
Hi Pepper,
Thanks for your report, I have visited your nice blog and saw the date displayed very well. If you would like to have the format like ’3/02/2009 07:53:06pm’, you can probably achieve it by changing ‘Timestamp’ under the ‘Formatting’ tab.
Hope this helps! :)
Hi Alvaris
You, my friend is an absolute blessing.. This template rocks.. I am planning to re-instate my blogger and was searching for a template for almost 3 days without any use.. until I found this one.. Awesome is the word and thank you! :)
but one minor thing.. I am not able to edit the font and colour using the via settings. Especially the font of “blog description”.. can you help me with that? and do pay a visit to my blog.. :)
Hi Alvaris,
Can you help with the following:
1) How can I check what is the colour code (in hexadecimal) for the template post background colour?
2) I would like to make the body font bigger. Can I know which part of HTML code that I need to modify?
Thank you and Have a nice day!
I love this template. It is perfect for my new blog and what I blog about. Thanks for all of your hardwork!
awesome template.. i fell in love with it the moment i came across. i was looking for something like that for my blog. is it ok if i change the images of the template with some of my own? of course i will keep the footer link intact..
thanks in advance.
keep up the good work!
I love the template but we need a Blackberry instead of the iPhone and ditch the ballpoint for some fountain pens.
Thanks for the inspiring idea! :D

Hi Falcon,
How can I edit, remove and add in my own text links as a replacements for POSTS RSS, COMMENTS and EDIT?
Thanks.
Sure, you can refer to the ‘Set up the Navigation Bar’ section in the post.
Hope this helps! :)
Thank you for the amazing work. I truly appreciate being able to use this template:)
Sure, thanks for your very kind comment! :)
i want this layout cuz i wanna change my current Exotic Vacation layout. now every time i upload the ZIP file it goes like this http://i40.tinypic.com/1zfpv1z.jpg
Seems like blogger cannot accept the XML file since its not well parsed…stuff like that.
what should i do?
i really want this layout eversince. i have this theme on tumblr and i want to apply this on blogger.
Thanks for your detailed report with picture, I appreciate this very, very much! ;)
Sure, I have checked the file attached in this post and it’s working properly.
The file you downloaded is actually a zip file, you would need to extract the zip file first, then upload the Desk-mess-v100.xml to your precious Blogger blog.
Hope this helps, enjoy Desk Mess! :D
you know what, THANK YOU SO MUCH, TERIMA KASI, MARAMING SALAMAT for converting this wordpress theme..
and THANK YOU for the tutorials, you never failed to answer our questions…

Oh, now it lets me post, lol. After almost ten tries, it will let me post that but not my question?
Is there any way to get rid of the hanging bit on the top right of my blog (http://katacomb.blogspot.com/) and also to add the word “comment” to/near the comment sticky note?
Thanks! I love that you’re making these templates by the way. Thanks for that, too! : )
(I always seem to have trouble getting my posts to show up. I always think I’ve posted something only to have it never show up!)
Thanks for all the great templates! I would say more, but I’m afraid it won’t let me post it.
Thanks for everything!
whew, after 15 minutes of trying, it lets me post my question! : )

I just noticed that the search button does not work. I tried adding a custom Google search engine from here(http://www.google.com/cse/) but the engine does not return any results. It says “No posts found for this query”.
I then tried adding the Blogger navigation bar and using that search button and it did not return any posts either.
Is there a problem with search engines recognizing the tags i use in my posts?
Thanks
wow, thanks so much for this :)
Adorei esse template!
