      Thanks for your report! The template is originally compatible to Firefox 3.0.10 and IE 8.0, I’m now work my best to fit it into IE 7.0. ;)

  3. Vipul says:

    hi alvaris,
    there seems to be a problem with the loading of images of the featured content gallery with firefox (i am using 3.0.10).

    instead of the loading gif image, all the images are loaded overlapping one on top of the other, over the post section, as well.

    but once fully loaded, all is good.

  4. Don’t care for this black and gray, it is hard to read. Thank you for the post. We will keep you in mind for later.

    The Search box is hidden behind the Subscription box (even in the demo). I can’t figure out how to get it to look right and/or work right… what’s the fix?

  11. mei says:

    Dear Alvaris,
    I solved the problem of The feature content already! I did visit DAN’s blog and check for his web’s source.
    I deleted “…&nbsp” from your code:
    POST-DESCRIPTION-HERE… <a href=’POST-LINK-HERE’
    After then, my pictures is shown in the correct place!
    Thanks for DAN’s help!
    Now, I need to go to fix the other parts! Hope everything going smooth, then I don’t need to bother U again!
    By the way, Many Thanks!

    • Alvaris Falcon says:

  15. YoungReam says:

    Hey I need help! Why can’t I see my followers! Is there a way to get around it.

    Thanks

    • Alvaris Falcon says:

      Thanks for the report! Blogger gadget including follower gadget is probably related to official Blogger’s issue, you can try to remove and add the gadget again to get it activated.

      Hope this helps! :)

  16. YoungReam says:

    Also how can I add the date I posted my post. It just shows the time

    • Alvaris Falcon says:

      Sure, you can access into blog’s layout and under the ‘Formatting’ tab, change the ‘Timestamp format’ to your preferred format, ‘Save’ to achieve the date.

    • Alvaris Falcon says:

      Thanks for your report! Did you mean you want to find the code in the template to set up the featured content, and also the method to set up template’s images?

      Can I have your blog address to understand the issue further? Thank you! ;)

  20. Ajith says:

    Can we increase the number of Mini posts? This one has eight, OK. I am currently using Zinmag Remedy which has only 4 miniposts. Any solutions to increase the count?
    Thank you.

    • Alvaris Falcon says:

      Thanks for your comment!

      Sure, I feel a need to invite you to post this comment in the Zinmag Remedy template post, which is on the following URL:
      http://falconhive.com/2008/12/blogger-template-zinmag-remedy.html

      You can either ask for help or refer to the previous comments which share about the same issue with you.

      Hope this helps, thank you! ;)

    • Hive commentator says:

      Thanks for ur comment, ajith.

      Sure, you can definately add more minipost to your blog. What you need to do is that drag and drop more “HTML Widgets” to the minipost section from the “Edit Layout” page.

      Hope this helps.

  21. Helene says:

    I am so proud that I’ve been able to customize your beautiful template. I love it. There are still few adjustments I would like it to have.

    1. New posts: I want the text box showing at the front page to have room for longer paragraphs.

    2. Is there a way that preview pictures don’t get scaled?

  22. Helene says:

    Thanks for previous reply. I’ve noticed people posting at this site have 2 narrow sidebars. Is that another similar template of yours? (I would like to have it)

    I can’t make my Follow and Google Friend Connect to show? Help?

    • Hive commentator says:

      Nice to meet you again.

      There are some problems with google friend connect there days. Facing problem with that is obvious. So there is no need to worry. It will be OK in a few days.

  24. Tanner says:

    Hi,

    Thank you so much for this awesome template! I’m most grateful.

    I’m only having one problem: The template was working just fine at first – no problems at all. Then all of a sudden the slider just stopped working – the back ground changed, images were shown vertically instead of horizontally, the scroller just stopped. Any advice as to how I can fix this?

    Again, thank you so much!

    • Hive commentator says:

      Nice to meet you again.

      I just saw your blog. Everything worked just fine. May be you should check again.

      Happy blogging !

  26. quelarion says:

  27. xibeon says:

    great template! thx! I’ve change it some things, have a look. How about it?

  28. keko says:

    Hi Hive, I have your templeate is amazing. The problem is that in I.E 8.0 dosen´t work nice. I try with http://playtab.blogspot.com, http://ling-wechner.blogspot.com/ and with http://elespejopintado.blogspot.com/; tand everybody have the same problem. When I open this blogs in Explorer the “search input” go down to the sidebar and you can´t use the search funtion correctly.

    Another thing is a question… how do you can delete correctly the RSS and the Twitter section, because i don´t gonna use…

    Just one thing more, when i put in the navigation menu 1 link (Home), this link go to the right and i wan´t put in the left, how i can do this?

    Thank for everething, all the best

    • Hive commentator says:

      You can remove the twitter section by deleting the appropriate section from the body section of your template….

      You need to learn Css before you can change the style of your template. We do not handle personal requests…

      Happy Blogging!

  29. keko says:

  31. nutri says:

    hello falcon,

    thank you for the template and your time.
    could you please tell me where I have to change value
    for making my “shoutbox” at the sidebar taking all the width.

    As you can see my website, it’s like something is blocking it from its right side.

    I have modified padding, every width on the code concerning the sidebar,
    but I’m sticked :(

    Could you please tell me a solution?

    Thank you by email or here?

    Best regards

  32. nutri says:

    hello again, sorry to bother you.
    well I succeed about setting my shoutbox:
    infact, I had to use bigger number for the own shoutbox’s width and height!

    Wel, if you visit my blog, you will see a important problem:
    the image from my posts are overlapping the blog,
    even the text itself, as if there is no “post box” to content them.

    COuld you help please?

    Thank you

  33. nutri says:

    oh my god sorry,
    I know where the solution is:
    I didn’t know that “read more” was actually a script.

    Sorry again… :)

  34. Keko says:

    This templeate is not nice. Very unstable, with IE is not work good, and is so slow.

  35. ROMENIG says:

    THANK YOU, JUST A TEMPLATE AND BEAUTIFUL AND EASY TO USE.

  36. Reyes says:

    Hi!

    I really like this template, thank you for making it, I just got one question…

    I know you don’t accept cuztomization request, but I don’t wan’t to ask you for the codes, I just want to know if it’s possible to make a drop-down menu with this template, the question is for all the readers too

    thank you, and congratulations for your work

    • Hive Commentator says:

      Hi, You can definitely add drop down menu. But, it would lead to addition of time costing javascript, which will slow down the speed of loading of your blog.

      Hence, it is not advised.

      Best of luck…

  37. icys says:

    • Hive Commentator says:

      Heyy Ics,

      You are facing the problems because not uploaded the images properly or have added links in an improper manner.

      If it is not any of the above problems then let me know.

      Best of Luck

  38. icys2008 says:

    • Hive Commentator says:

      Hello,

      I would advise you to check if you have added all image urls to the template code.

      I hope this works ..

  40. Eren says:

    Hello,

    Great design guys.
    2 questions:
    - When the no of characters in a title exceeds certain number, the title and post content preview overlaps. Is there any way to put sth like ‘…’ at the end of the title if it exceeds the limit? or any other workaround?

    - In the image preview, the picture is scaled to fit into a square. How could I prevent that?

    Thanks
    Eren

    • Hive Commentator says:

      You can definately use the “read more” for your first issue.

      And your second trouble can be solved by changing the template codes. And we do not handle personal requests.

  41. jm says:

    Hi!
    First of all, thank you for your wonderful work, your templates are great!
    I have a little problem with the number of posts shown. I ask for 10 post to be in the page, but since few days ago there are only 6…How can I solve this?

    Thank you! (and sorry about my english :P)

  42. Vic says:

    Hi, great template but I can’t get the older posts to show. It’s behind the content. Any ideas so my readers can click on older or newer posts. It’s normally at the end of templates but not this one unfortunately. The content is actually covering the older posts link. Any ideas on how to get it to the bottom of the page.

    Thank you!

  43. pedro says:

    my friend this is by far the best piece of code ever written, no bugs, looks awesome, amazingly easy to edit, great functions.BRILLIANT.
    just used it on my website, turn out like …..HELL YEAH
    Take care man

  44. Kirk C. says:

    I would also like to know how i can add the date to my post previews on my homepage.

  45. Kirk C. says:

    Also, I cannot write full pages in the new blogger feature that allows stand alone pages. The page ends up looking like the preview from the home page.

  46. Cleo Loong says:

    Hi, I loved this very much and I’m having problem with trying to get the “featured content” to show my image. I’ve tried resizing it,changing the image formats (used GIF,JPEG,PNG) but none seemed to work. I only manage to get the “picture” tab showing the pictures but the ‘big picture’ at the featured content is not showing at all. Any ideas?

    Thanks.

  47. Gabriel says:

    what awesome site, and awesome templates, indeed. i found this to my blog then i use for one friend, make some customization and it was not so hard todo. thnaks hive

  48. Greg says:

    I am having problems with the full pages as well, when I create a page it appears, but when I go to click More.. to read more it doesn’t change pages, it doesn’t open up that page I just created. I think I have the same problem as Kirk C.

  49. John says:

    same problem as kirk c, the stand-alone pages look the same as the homepage with a minipost and minidescription, but now the full page that i just created.

  50. Nice Template! Thanks!

  51. Cleo Loong says:

    Beautiful template to use but I have a slight problem. My miniposts doesn’t show an even number but and odd number. A few of my visitors thought that my whole site only contained 7 posts instead of more because of the missing minipost.

    Can you please assist me with that?

    Thanks very much. Once again, awesome template.

  52. Cleo Loong says:

    All done! I’ve found that to increase your miniposts,

    go to layout
    then at “page element”, scroll down and you’ll see “blog post’

    Click on “edit” and you’ll find :”Number of posts on main page:” just insert the number of posts you want the main page to show!

  53. says:

    Perfect! Thanks!!

  54. Any reason or anything I am doing to not allow the dates of posted articles to appear? I have it selected in Page Element Page under posts to appear but with this template they do not. What can I do? Thanks!

  55. ben says:
