Free Blog Designs – Template-Mama

August 11, 2009 By Amanda Padgett


tmb-3843954


I want to introduce you to a wonderful site to find free blog templates. Template-Mama is a blog that provides many, many unique and custom-like designs. These templates have more design elements than many of the free templates available at other designers’ sites.

Template-Mama kind of stumbled into blog design. To tweak her own blog, she started to learn HTML code and it just took off from there. She creates Blogger templates as a hobby, for her own enjoyment, but it has pleased her that others have enjoyed them also. She does not expect payment for any of her templates, but if you use a template, I encourage you to donate what you can to help cover her cost of PhotoShop upgrades.

She has more than 80 different templates to choose from and here are just a few of my favorites from her selection:

watchusgrow-4953192
ladybug-1574472
somethingborrowed-5077129
In addition to the beautiful, free templates, she also write tutorials (click on “tips” in her label cloud) and provides links to other sites with free templates.

Template-Mama, you are very talented and very generous to donate your time to help others. I can’t wait to see your future designs, because you keep getting better and better!

Here is a button for you to post on your blog in a post or on your sidebar.

How to Add a Copy Code Box for your Button (Video)

April 3, 2011 By April M

Here is a very simple and easy way to add the copy code box under your Button. The copy code box allows others to use and place your button on their site which will drive more followers/readers to your blog.

*New* There is a video at the bottom of the page on how to do these steps.

Step 1: Once you have your button created upload it to Photobucket.com.

Step 2: Click on the HTML code and that will copy it for you.

Step 3: Log into your Blog and click on “Design” and you should automatically be under the “Page Elements” tab.

Step 4: Click on “Add a Gadget” then “HTML/Javascript”

Step 5: Right Click (or press ctrl + v) under the Content area and paste the HTML Code you copied from Photobucket it should look something like this:



Replace the area in blue (above) with your Website URL.

You can center your button by adding

at the beginning of your HTML code and add

at the end of you HTML Code.

Step 6: Highlight and Copy your HTML Code again and paste it right under the first one and add

plus at the beginning of the second HTML Code and add

plus to the end of the HTML Code. This is what your finished Button with Copy Code will look like.



Step 7: Save it and take a look! Leave a comment below and let me know if it works.
