@ plainolebob, I've very bad choice in terms of choosing templates so I would rather ask you to gimme some example sites which you like. This will give me an idea of what you like then I'll visit those sites and then suggest you a Blogger template to use.
If you like some free Wordpress or HTML/CSS theme, you can also ask me to convert.
wow Bilal Thanks so much you are too kind, I really want too change my look up some as to me it is reall getting crowded. I will do as you say and get you the links of the followers I have that have a template that i like. HUGS
@ plainolebob, wow! that blog is really funny. Actually, that person is using a modified version of Blogger's Minima template with 2 sidebars and 3-column footer.
I can make you such a structure with top menu and then we can decide the color scheme according to you, so what you say?
Thanks so much so much for converting this template! I love it on my new blog http://mascaramamas.blogspot.com/ How do I get the proper text to appear when you mouse over about, advertising, etc?
Salam alaykum Bilal masha allah great work,& nice template ! really i want to learn converting wp2blogger! i notice that you forgot the post-date also the author name ! i ll translate this template as soon as you'll fix this point in sha Allah !
@ Tia, go to "Layout" and then "Edit HTML", find this code:
<li class='page_item page-item-2'><a href='#' title='This text will appear on mouse over'><span>About</span></a></li> <li class='page_item page-item-23'><a href='#' title='This text will appear on mouse over'><span>Advertising</span></a></li> <li class='page_item page-item-27'><a href='#' title='This text will appear on mouse over'><span>Contact</span></a></li>
As you can see the title text in the above code, just change that text from "This text will appear on mouse over" to something what you want to appear on mouse over.
@ Altalib, Walaikum Asalam and thanks for appreciation. You can simply enable date and author's name by going to "Layout" and editing the "Blog Posts" widget. Just enable these two options from there!
As you can see, I have changed the 60px/40px to 20px/20px to reduce the font size and now font style is normal instead of bold.
Preview your template and if you feel this font size suits your taste then save otherwise to make the font even more smaller, you can reduce the value 20px/20px to something like 15px/15px and then simply preview.
and change the value of color: #FF004E; to change FF004E with the hex code of the color you want to apply. We can also add another property to control font size of the description. So add font-size: 15px; in the above code like this:
slm alaykum Bilal! i ve finished translating the template but i got a problem which is the user should use the new post editor to have the right formatting !so the problem is when i use the old post editor i got (in html mode) : <div style="text-align: right;"> </div><div style="text-align: right;"><!-- more --></div>
so after deleting this line : <div style="text-align: right;"></div> it works but we need loading it automatically without this line & what i think its due to the jump break feature! so what should I change in the code to avoid this line appearing in the HTML mode of the old post editor? thnx
