ola alvaris.
im using ie7 and ff3.x.x but, this theme looks bad.have a problem ?
however great theme ..
Buen trabajo, felicidades :)
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. ;)
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.
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.
Dan and Deanna “Marketing Unscrambled”
Thanks for your kind comments! :)
I have been looking at this html all day and can not figure out how to change the background color. Can you help?
Sure, which of the background color would you like to change?
Thank you! I figured it out!
this doesnt work in firefox or ie
Dear Alvaris,
I did try Clean Magasin Uno template, and it doesn’t work! The feature content did not shown! Then I install Magasin Uno into my blog, the featured content is shown but when I putted the code into the edit html page!
An incorrect message is shown as flwg:
XML 錯誤訊息: The entity name must immediately follow the ‘&’ in the entity reference.
pls kindly help!
Thanks a lot!
Mei
I’m so sorry, my code doesn’t not show again in my previous message! Actually, I’m using the same code that U gave!
Sorry to disturb U again!
Mei
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?
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 “… ” 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!
Mei
That’s great! I’m glad that you have fixed the issue, and really thanks for pointing it! I have updated the post to give the correct code, thanks again for your contribution!
Sure, hope everything goes nice and please be sure to leave comment anytime for support, I’m willing to help you the best!
Enjoy blogging! :D

Thanks for the report! Can I invite you to host the JavaScript in a new account in FileAve? Thank you!
Nice theme, i am using Zinmag Primus 2.0, Planning to change to this theme.
nice template…i like that..thx
Hey I need help! Why can’t I see my followers! Is there a way to get around it.
Thanks
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! :)
Also how can I add the date I posted my post. It just shows the time
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.
Hi , I can Set up the ‘Featured Content , i can not find the code when i search and how i setup the images ??? help me pls
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! ;)
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.
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! ;)
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.
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?
Hello Helene. It was a pleasure seeing your comment.
We create blogger templates for all our readers. We do not accept personal template customization requests from the readers.

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?
Nice to meet you again.
You can browse all our magasin templates if you want to find something else for you.
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.
All the best……

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!
Nice to meet you again.
I just saw your blog. Everything worked just fine. May be you should check again.
Happy blogging !
great template! thank you!
hello! I would like to ask what I need to do to add the date of every post in the main page… Thanks!
Please let me know your blog url. This way i can solve your problem better.
Thanks.
great template! thx! I’ve change it some things, have a look. How about it?
Congratulations. You have done a great job.
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
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!

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
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
oh my god sorry,
I know where the solution is:
I didn’t know that “read more” was actually a script.
Sorry again… :)
I am very happy that you have found the solution the problem you were facing..
Congratulations….

Hello Keko
we are sorry for the problems you faced. Thanks you very much for the suggestion.
THANK YOU, JUST A TEMPLATE AND BEAUTIFUL AND EASY TO USE.
Thank you very much for your kind words….
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
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…

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

Hi!ur template its really nice!im using it for my blog!
Just a question…when i add a new widget from the element page…they have a white background…but id like to have the same background color of the twitter and sponsor block!
How can i?
Hello,
I would advise you to check if you have added all image urls to the template code.
I hope this works ..
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
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.
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)
jm
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!
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
I would also like to know how i can add the date to my post previews on my homepage.
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.
