3 Column Blogger Layouts

As you may have noticed I have erased all the blog layouts made by others. I figured since I already know how to make almost any kind of blogger layout... that I would only post layouts exclusively made by me.
This last week I decided to work on making 3 column blogger layouts... it's a bit more complicated but I did it.
Here is what I came up with- I hope you like it.

Custom Designs

For all my custom designs I am changing the way I make them. I will only be using istockphoto from now on for my custom designs. Which means the price will not be as inexpensive as it has been, because stock photos aren't free.

I am doing this for several reasons:

1) Don't have to worry about copyright
2) More variety of photos to choose from
3) takes less time and energy for me

So with that said here are my new prices:


Custom Header: $20 this includes installation and one small istockphoto
(additional photos are $3 each)

Custom Layouts: $35 this includes installation and one small istockphoto (additional photos are $3 each)

Installation of layouts: $10

Customize colors & look of your current layout: $10



If you would like to have a custom blog made there are a few steps you need to take before contacting me.

1) Select your photo(s) at istockphoto (you can select photos for your header and background)
Note: the photo for your header needs to be a horizontal photo- not vertical.

2) Once you have selected your photo- email me at Lgtoews@hotmail.com. You need to provide your blog name, address, Theme, preferred colors and the link to your chosen stock photo.

3) From there I will correspond with you to make your blog layout to your preferences.

How to Change your Template

It's actually quite simple to change your template in blogger. Here's how to do it step by step!


1) Go to your Blogger Account dashboard and click on "Layout" it will bring you to your page elements page.

3) Now copy/paste all your page elements in notepad. Your page elements are your Pictures, widgets, links, & Text- which is located in your sidebar.

4) Now go to your desired layout and Click on the "download" link below the picture.

5) Select & Copy the code (Ctrl+C) (don't copy the title at the top)

6) Go to your Blogger Account dashboard and click on"Layout"

7) Then click the link at the top of your page named "Edit HTML"

8) In the code box "Right Click" and in the menu select the option to "Select All" (once all the code is selected it will all be highlighted)

9) Then paste the new code into the code box (Ctrl+V)

10) Then click "Save Template" and view blog
and you will have a new layout!

11) Now you can re-add your page elements (copy and paste from notepad)


Simple Enough? If you need help installing your template- email me at: lgtoews@hotmail.com

Additional info: All layouts on this site are for the new Blogger (XML) if you have the classic blogger Template then you will need to revert to the new blogger- in order to use these templates.

IMPORTANT!!! When copying/pasting the code be sure to not to copy the title along with the code because it will just give you the error: "
Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly.
XML error message: Content is not allowed in trailing section".
