  9. Ankur says:

    wonderful…will change to this from toughpress

    but before i change one qustion…can we add more icon links next to the twitter icon…like i want to add my facebook link with facebook icon, myspace link with myspace icon…and so on…

    • Alvaris Falcon says:

      Thanks for your kind words, Ankur. ;)

      Sure, as the RSS icon is the single image, you can probably replace it with other social network icon’s image with suitable size, some CSS skill might be required during the customization.

      Hope this answers your precious question well. :)

    This is a wonderful template, I love it! Thanks for making it work on blogger although I dont like how the bubbles on the right header are on the image and not tied to the rss & twitter images but oh well.

    I do have a question though. I have been trying to use the INSERT TEXT TO BE HIDDEN HERE code but it isn’t hiding my text and I still get the “Read More” Function at the end of the full blog. Any advice on how to fix it?

    • Hive commentator says:

      Thanks for ur precious comments, David.

      You are facing this problem because editing your post in the “Compose Section” . Please use the “Edit HTML” section to add the SPAN tags.

      Also, make sure you have not closed the tags more than once.

      I hope this helps.

    • Alvaris Falcon says:

      Thanks for your very kind comment and report! Sure, I have updated the post to show the correct code, you can follow the “Set up the ‘Read More’ feature” section in the post to hide the article’s content properly.

      Hope this helps, all the best. ;)

  14. Jofee says:

    hi falcon, I like this template and Now I just made my blogs and using your template but I coudn’t get the code of:
    Set up the ‘Featured Content’ on the top of the main page, how to do?

    • Hive commentator says:

      Hi, joffee. Nice to see your comment.

      Please explain your problem in detail. Are u having problem in setting up the featured section or you are not able to find the code.

      Waiting for precious reply.

  15. Aloha GEMS says:

    OMG!

    same problem here can’t find the featured…………..

    • Hive commentator says:

      Thanks for your precious report. We will look into the matter and inform you when a solution is available.

      Good luck.

  16. positiveroot says:

    please man, share me your demo template please =D

  17. Can you tell me how to remove the “read more” option? I would my posts to display all the text each time. Readers are complaining about having to click ‘read more’ before being able post a comment.

    • Just guessing that is has something to do with removing this section or pieces of this section. Any help would be appreciated.

    • David says:

      Go to the HTML and expand the widgets then search for the word “continue” there should be 2 instances of that word, once is as a thank you for using this template, the other one part of a line of code that has the words “continue reading”
      If you just delete those words then you should be fine.

  18. Paulo Franca says:

    Dear Sir or Madam, how do you do?

    I’m writing to you because I have your template on my blog/site and Internet Explorer 8 has come up with an error message

    Can you help solve this issue? Thanks in advance.

    • Hive commentator says:

      Thanks for your report.

      We have never faced this issue before with this template.

      You are getting this error because of the Google Friend connect module on your blog.
      This is an error from the blogger. You can read about at known-issues.blogspot.com .

      All the best.

  19. Paulo Franca says:

    Dear Friends, how are you?

    RSS Validator – I’ve used the feed validator service at http://feedvalidator.org/

    The result was: “Congratulations!
    [Valid RSS] This is a valid RSS feed.”

    However, the website gave me one recommendation:
    “This feed is valid, but interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendations:
    line 1, column 16355: Missing atom:link with rel=”self”

    Then, when I clicked on “help” link I was sent to a web page with the following message:
    “Missing atom:link with rel=”self”
    Explanation: According to the RSS Advisory Board’s Best Practices Profile, identifying a feed’s URL within the feed makes it more portable, self-contained, and easier to cache. For these reasons, a feed should contain an atom:link used for this purpose.

    Solution
    If you haven’t already done so, declare the Atom namespace at the top of your feed, thus:

    Then insert a atom:link to your feed in the channel section. Below is an example to get you started. Be sure to replace the value of the href attribute with the URL of your feed.

    So, due to the above, I’d like you to kindly assist me solve this issue. I don’t know where to change in the template. Thanks in advance.
    Paulo.

    • Hive commentator says:

      Dear Paola,

      this is not an template issue at all, so i can not provide you any help….

      Best of luck for your future..

  20. Paulo Franca says:

    Guys, you’d better see how this template renders with Google Chrome, and Safari. I had to go back to my previous template when I saw it. I couldn’t believe my eyes. It needs a fix urgently. When there is an update, please let me know. Thanks for your time. Thanks in advance.

    • Hive commentator says:

      Thanks for the report. We will let you know the solution to this error shortly.

      • PAULO FRANCA says:

        I’m so sorry, guys! I suppose I’ve committed a mistake while editing the template, so I wrote the above, and picked another one on blogger. Again, sorry! I’ve just managed to reverse my template back to this wonderful one, and now it renders just all right with ALL browsers I tested. Many thanks & all the best. Blue Diamond is awesome! I couldn’t live without it for long.

      • Hive commentator says:

        Thanks for your kind words…

  21. Hi,

    first of all i want ti say you: This is a realy fantistic theme!
    I´v a little Question: Can i change some words in another Language, for example german?

    This are some of the words i like to Change:

    Greetings from Bavaria
    Michel

    • Hive Commentator says:

      Hi Michael,

      You can definitely make those changes. Go to the “edit html” page. Select Expand Widget Template, and search do the text “read more” and replace it with the text you want.

      Enjoy….

  22. Adam H says:

    Absolutely love this template. But I’m doing it so wrong.. as you can see here omoca.blogspot.com/ I can upload the template etc. But I’m struggling with the images. I upload them (some wont upload) and change the HTML codes with the URL. But as you can see on the blog, I’m failing miserably.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

  23. clone says:
