Also, LeeLou has added MANY new free layouts which you can view here.

**************************************************

Special Note: Blogger made some changes that have caused many designer’s templates to be problematic when uploading. LeeLou believes that she has found a fix for the problem, in regards to her templates and the fix may work for other designer’s templates as well. It is worth a try.

Check out this post and make the changes she recommends. This fix is for those who have been using free templates already and those trying to upload now. Hopefully it will get your template working for you.
