Using a WordPress Theme in Blogger

April 3, 2011 By Julie

WordPress and Blogger both have advantages and disadvantages. I could argue both, but that’s not what this post is about. The fact is that many people find Blogger to be a more user-friendly platform but find WordPress less limiting than Blogger. The compromise? A WordPress theme that has been modified to Blogger. There are a number of these themes hanging around Google, but I am about to introduce you to one of my favorites which is called the Revolution Lifestyle template. An example of this template can be found here: http://revolutionlifestyletemplate.blogspot.com/ The blog template is free but is rather basic. This premium template can be downloaded from magznetwork.com for $25 and allows for unlimited use. Beyond the striking organization of this template, the following options are available for use in this template: a smooth slider for featured content, video, automated lists of specified labels, drop down menu, favicon, an optional 3 column footer and more.

The CSS is rather intimidating upon first glance; however, the Magazine Network does a nice job of explaining everything and offers a screenshot of the dashboard with labels corresponding to the CSS, making customization pretty simple. Speaking of customization, there are two options when downloading the premium template: images mode and colors mode. I have used both and even with a background in CSS and HTML found colors mode infinitely more user friendly and easier to customize.

Who would benefit from this template? Blogger users who are nervous about using WordPress, bloggers who have a lot that they want organized (review and giveaway bloggers, for example), bloggers who use tons of labels that they want more organized, bloggers who want seamless features like a featured content slider, and/or bloggers who want a streamlined look.

Do not be fooled. While this template is streamlined, I have seen (and created) some pretty neat designs with this template.

One should be warned that this template is not without flaws. Many of the tutorials, which you obtain access to upon purchasing the premium template, have the statement: “Save and see if it works for you”. I have to say, though, that I have never encountered a problem. I haven’t found their forum to be particularly helpful either.

Don’t let any of that hold you back, though. The template really is a great compromise if you’re a Blogger user or designer looking for a professional, streamlined, and organized template!

How to move the date under the post title in Blogger

November 5, 2010 By Dawn Farias

Happy Friday, friends!  I was customizing my personal blog a bit and wanted to move the date from above the post title to below.  I was pleased with the results and thought I’d share with you the tutorial I found for it as well as my extended customization.

Date under post title – Move date in Blogger at Blog Bulk

This is a fairly easy and straightforward customization.  You will have to get in there and edit your template’s code but it’s not scary!  This tutorial was written for Blogger’s layout templates launched in 2006.  I am using the Simple template that was launched earlier this year which gave me a misalignment between the post title and the sidebar title to the right.

date-under-post-title1-7960343

To improve the situation, I went back into the code and made the following change:

date-under-post-title-2-8198762

Find the h3.post-title section and change the last line FROM margin: .75em 0 0; TO margin: 0;.  This helps align things a little better.  Click ‘Preview’ to make sure nothing’s broken and everything looks alright.  If it does, hit ‘Save’ and you’ll get something like this:

date-title-1197365

I’m wondering if I can do my online graphics using only PSE and not investing PS?

I understand Illustrator is another story, that it can do a lot more and has different abilities … but for graphic design is PSE just as good as PS?

PSE is good to begin with but I would recommend saving for PS. There is also pixlr which is like photoshop but free.

Photoshop is probably the best investment you could make as a designer (over illustrator).  However, Photoshop Elements has been widely used by many designers and works just fine.  If you plan on pursuing it full time, we suggest making that investment later on…after you have made income from your business!

I think photoshop is such a worthwhile investment if doing graphic design work (especially for the web). There are so many little things in Photoshop that make your life easier compared to Elements. For example, Photoshop contains some great web-features like roll-over support and slicing that is lacking from Elements. I found a really great article comparing the two on About.com

A great open-source alternative to Photoshop (not Elements) is Gimp and I can strongly recommend it.

Hi Nilesh, Part 3 tomorrow, will explain in more detail how to take the exported files to Dreamweaver, and what to do with them in there.When you export from Fireworks, Fireworks essentially chops up your JPEGs and arranges them in HTML Tables on a web page. Fireworks also adds in all the Javascript needed for the rollovers.What we then do in Dreamweaver is to tidy this up, add in the background and upload it to the internet for the client to see.If your question was more specific, please specify.

Applying Shadows to Elements in Blogger

April 3, 2011 By Julie

As a designer, I do just about anything I can to save time. Save time on my designing and minimize load time for web readers. This doesn’t mean I skimp on quality. Just the opposite, in fact. Using CSS coding rather than imagery, you can speed up load time of your page and in this tutorial, I will show you how to add a shadow behind elements on your blog and give it a 2 dimensional effect using CSS.

The first thing is to know that not all browsers will recognize this effect. I am going to slowly step off of my soap box regarding not using Internet Explorer; however, IE9 users should be able to see shadows (not all hope is lost, I suppose). At any rate, because we want the most readers possible to see this effect, we will apply 3 different lines, which all have the same purpose.

The basic code is:

box-shadow: 0px 3px 10px 10px #000; -moz-box-shadow: 0px  3px 10px 10px #000; -webkit-box-shadow: 0px  3px 10px 10px #000;

}

We put the box-shadow for Opera users, moz-box-shadow line for Mozilla users, and webkit-box-shadow for Chrome and Safari users.

The next step in successfully using this code is to understand what it means!

The very first number defines the horizontal shadow, the second number defines the vertical line, the third number defines the blur distance and the fourth number defines the spread distance (all in pixels). Where it says #000 is the hex color. You may replace this with an rgb code if you are more comfortable with that. Each of these numbers may be played around with. The above code is just an example.

If you choose to use a shadow and would like to change the side that the border shows up on, try playing with negative numbers for the horizontal and vertical codes. If you would like to see an inner shadow, simply place the code “inset” (without the quotes) after the colon on each line. An outer shadow is default and therefore does not require a code.

And that reminds me, each of your lines should be identical. They are simply representing browser compatibility and since you want your page to look the same in different browsers, just keep it the same!

The next step is to understand where to put this code.

You can place this code under any element in your CSS that you want. I often will place the code within my #outer-wrapper code in Blogger. If you do this, I recommend giving the outer wrapper a background color (here it is white). A border is not necessary either, as your shadow will be your definition bewteen the outer wrapper and background, but can be fun! A border will also ensure that those who cannot see the shadow do see some definition.

The code may look like this:

#outer-wrapper {

width: 1000px;

margin:20px auto;

background: white;

text-align:$startSide;

border: #d7d7d7 ridge 10px;

font: $bodyfont;

box-shadow: 0px 3px 6px #000;

-moz-box-shadow:0px 3px 6px #000;

-webkit-box-shadow:0px 3px 6px #000;

}

You may notice I don’t have a spread distance listed in the above code. Like I said, play around with your numbers, because it’s not always necessary.

You may also leave the shadow code out of your outer wrapper and simply choose to put it on your sidebar to have that stand out. Find #sidebar-wrapper in your CSS and place the code there instead. You can even put a shadow behind photos. To do so, find code .post-img { and put the code there.

You can add things like add rounded corners, color, borders and more to this code. There are  many  options, so play around and have fun with it!

How to Make Mouseover Images

April 3, 2011 By April at CreativeGirlMedia.com

Hover over this image to see an example of the effect you can do with this code!

aprilshowerslayout3sidebarstuffworkshops1-1624006

Using the code below, paste in your own URL, the URL of your default image, the URL of your hover image, and the alternate text to display.

Be sure to keep the ‘ on either side of your image URLs or this code will not work.

You can paste it in any HTML/Javascript widget, and even use on your menu bar!

Create a cute, text based blog header

February 20, 2011 By Dawn Farias

Are you a blog designer or blogger that’s stuck in a rut for a new design? Well, here’s some real world inspiration to get your design juices flowing. I have been noticing cards, magazine covers, digiscrap kits and store signs using chunky, sans-serif fonts* that have a slightly lowered opacity* so that when the letters of the text are stacked you get a neat see-through effect.

*Sans-serif means there are no dangly things at the ends of the text’s stroke while opacity is a term used for the level of transparency that something has.

Open your program of choice and create a blank document for your blog header. I am working with a 900px by 200px document with a resolution of 72dpi. The background is filled with white to match the body of my test blog and the font color is set to gray. I then choose Arial Black as a nice, fat, chunky, sans-serif font to work with and type each separate letter of my blog title on it’s own layer. This will help me later when I want to move each letter around individually.

Next, I use a grid to line up each letter:

Now, each letter gets a color change. The color palette I’ve chosen is the Midnight Macarooms palette from Design Seeds.

The fun starts here! I crowd the letters together:

And lower the opacity of each to 85%:

I could be finished here once I align everything and save. However, I want to add a few more effects. The letters each get an outer stroke (or outline) in white of 1px, a slight drop shadow and some tilting.

Loaded up on a blog it looks like this:

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. Please leave a comment if you try this on your own blog – we’d love to see your work.

Hey everyone, I’m Emily and I run The Penny Palace (launching this Halloween).  I started tinkering with web design about ten years ago using Angelfire and Geocities!  Lol sf-laugh-5053486  It was just this year that I decided to get serious about design because when I’d try focusing on writing (I’d like to be published someday!), I’d get distracted and wind up on Blogger, customizing templates.  Since then, I’ve moved onto WordPress designs!

I’ve also started venturing into vector graphics and such.  But I’m still a newbie at all of this, so I’m really happy there’s a place where us designers can get together and share tips and tricks!

BBD to merge with The Blog Designer Network!

May 11, 2011 By Dawn Farias

Exciting Announcement!

Hi there!  I’m April, of April Showers Design Studio and the *NEW* Blog Designer Network!  Amanda has been kind enough to let me announce some AMAZING news here on Beautiful Blog Designs, and I hope you all do a chair dance and eat a cake pop in celebration.

For a few years I’ve been looking for a way to help bloggers and blog designers design their own sites, find a perfect blog designer, offer critiques, and more.  Amanda started Beautiful Blog Designs, and it was really close to what I had in mind!  So I’ve jumped at the chance to be an advertiser, and promote this site just as much as she promotes mine!

After offering online training sessions for blog design, I decided to start The Blog Designer Network – a place for blog designers to find amazing resources like workshops, tutorials, graphic resources, and a forum –  and offer services like matching bloggers with designers, and blog critiques.

Once her and I chatted a bit, we talked about merging our two sites together.  Considering our content is very similar, we thought it could be mutually beneficial.  Since she is extremely busy with her kiddos and the amazing Everyday Elements, and I am so into helping other blog designers and just starting up the new site, it was the perfect idea!

So without further ado, we would like to announce that Beautiful Blog Designs will now be The Blog Designer Network!

All the wonderful content, posts, material, and resources you find here, will be transitioned over to The BDN on August 1st, 2011.  Until then, take a look at all the fresh new content the new BDN has to offer, and Follow us using Google Friend Connect!
