Important Notes to Install this blogger template,
1. on the header / top upper right, you’ll see an upper menu. that is an HTML/Javascript Widget.
to have the menu installed, you need to have your menu listed on this structure below;
<ul><li><a href="Your Menu Link Here">Your Menu Here</a></li><li><a href="Your Menu Link Here">Your Menu Here</a></li><li><a href="Your Menu Link Here">Your Menu Here</a></li></ul>
this is the content of the widget installed on the demo site.
<ul><li><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/Lifewg">Full Rss Feed</a></li><li><a href="http://www.jackbook.com/2007/08/i-saw-beautiful-website-could-you.html">About Us</a></li><li><a href="http://likesimon.com/contact-me/">Contact Us</a></li><li><a href="http://www.jackbook.com/">Home</a></li></ul>
2. The Feed Icon and Search Box on the right is an HTML/JAVASCRIPT widget element.
This is the content.
<h2>Subscribe</h2>
<div id="rss"><a href="#yourRssFeedHere" title="Syndicate this site using RSS"></a></div>
<div id="searchdiv"><form id="searchform" action="http://YOUR-BLOG-NAME.blogspot.com/search” method=”get”><input id=”s” maxlength=”255″ name=”q” size=”15″ type=”text”/><input alt=”Go” value=”Go” name=”button” type=”submit”/></form></div>
change the YOUR-BLOG-NAME with your own blog name.
3. The recent posts on the right is a Feed Widget Element.
You can change it with your own feed url, or you can have the recent post and recent comment for blogger simple hack here.
Update: New Added
4. Post Date on blogger template.
You need to make sure that the post timestamp on your blog is set rite like this
Monday, August 27, 2007
Here is the step
- First Go to your Dashboard — Settings — Formatting
- there you should see Timestamp Format selector there.
choose the format as it’s shown above.

Update, just added
How to change the image header?
1. Download http://jackbook1.googlepages.com/mushblue_style.css file
2. open the file with notepad, or any html editor you familiar with.
3. find this code below
background: url('http://jackbook1.googlepages.com/mushblue_r.jpg') no-repeat;
http://jackbook1.googlepages.com/mushblue_r.jpgthat is your current image header. change that url with your own image url.save the file.
then upload it somewhere. (i recommend to upload it on your googlepages, it’s easy to upload there)
4. go to your blog, dashboard–template–edit html5. find this line
<link href='http://jackbook1.googlepages.com/mushblue_style.css' media='screen' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'/>
http://jackbook1.googlepages.com/mushblue_style.css
that is your current css.
replace that with your new css, and then
6. save your template, refresh your blog and done.
thanks

I can’t see the date on my post

Hi
Firstly just want to say thanks for the superb job you doing! The Templates look great!
However I am having the same problem as alekos - my date also does not display. I have tried changing the timestamp format and the date header format to what you have mentioned, but it still does not work!
Is there anyway to fix this, or can i tweak the CSS code?
Please Help!
Thanks
Hi Terence,
i don’t know, does it has something to do with a delay? cause, i see your site is ok now. here is the screenshot.
yeah…same problem here…even after waiting, maybe i should wait a bit longer…
do you have problem with your date format too?
could you tell me your URL? so i can check it for you?
or you can try to read this guidance first about how to set the dateformat on blogger.
thanks

Hello jack,

hmm

the script is different from the original..
i somehow downloaded the original, then i rehost it with googlepages.. now im okie.. just letting you know!
i’m sorry i’m afraid i dont understand. what is it that you were refering to as ‘the shorter one’? did u mean my title?
yes. I meant the blog title.
have you tried the short one? try to shorter your title, and let’s see how’s it going.
I’ve been having a lot of trouble with this template. It suddenly dissappears and all the blog turns white and messy
. I hope you can help me because I 
fucking adore this template a fits the exact purpose of my blog. Hope I have news from you soon 
.
I guess. just like another blogger. you haven’t read all the installation instruction here
.
Please note that all of our templates images are hosted on my googlepages account. and you have to know that our templates have been used by so many bloggers outhere. so my googlepages account always exceeds it’s bandwith limit almost every day. that’s why i always encourage my readers to host all the images on their own file host or their own googlepages. now have you hosted all the images on your own googlepages? or your own file hots? if not, please follow the instruction here about to
host all the images to your own host.
If your date doesn’t show up. please read here
how to set the correct date format.
if you still have problem, please mail me anytime, i will try my best to help you.
Thanks

How do I remove the hyperlink from the header? Because what i notice happens is that the header is using the font of a “Visited Site”. Can somebody please teach me
what is your blog url?
i’ll show you how to do it.
thanks
Hi Jack,
I really love this template, it’s SO cool. Thanks a lot!
But I’m having a little problem with my blog title : my blog title gets over the blue design of the header. So can I align the title to the right to fix the problem? I just don’t know how to do it… Please :smile:, could you help me with it?
I think it’d help crytalkay too.
Thanks in advance.
could you give me your url? so i can check it?
because i don’t really get it what you mean.
thanks
The template doesn’t work anymore and I’ve done nothing
. Anyways, I’ll stay with the old one 
.
Emil, you should download the template from here instead. It’s the same template Jack made but the images and css are working fine. The images are hosted externally so you won’t see the “Google pages limited bandwidth” error anymore and the css is embedded into the template.

Hello Jack,
This is a lovely template and I am so happy to use it. I hosted all the images and code on my own site and it works great. My only problem now is that I can no longer receive comments to my email. I went to the settings page in my blogger and have the correct email address for comment notification, but after installing this template, I no longer get the email when someone comments. How can I fix this?
Now is everything fine! Thank you very much, Jack
It doesn’t found again… now, I don’t know how can be happen.
Please, help me: http://tavigno.blogspot.com
hi Gustavo,
thanks
please read this instruction.
you have to move all your images to your own image hosting.
you can use your own googlepages or either imageshack.us
i have never banned people
Oh… I’m so sorry for being so wrong, Jack
I read your instruccions but I have a problem… when I open the url “http://jackbook1.googlepages.com/mushblue_style.css” it said this:
“The bandwidth or page view limit for this site has been exceeded and the page cannot be viewed at this time. Once the site is below the limit, it will once again begin serving as normal. ”
What do I must do?
you can download all the style.css and images here
thanks
I’ve done everything according to instructions, pasted CSS into XML, hosted pics and everything but I keep receiving this information :(:(

Hi, great template! Just a couple of queries if you really don’t mind - the time is not displayed on my posts…? I have altered the timestamp as detailed above so the date is showing correctly, but the time itself does not.
Also, the ‘Archive’ does not list properly as a hierarchy as i would like it to.
Any help would be appreciated!
Hi Jack,
I really love your mush blue template…its fantastic.
I got some issues though…I want to incorporate Expandable Archives…with post titles being shown in monthly basis.

Pls help me with this.

Jacky, you might want to use this one as well. It will save you from having to support everyone with these sort of template issues.

love this template!
is there a way to remove the white image border that surrounds every image?
Thank you in advance for your help. I am hoping I am not one of the people that didn’t read and do everything. I have hosted images and changed the timestamp .
Here are the problems I am having:
1) In the post body, Althought I have changed this via Page Elements, it never shows “posted by The Faleys at [insert date and time]”. Instead, it just says “by the faleys” at the top and the comments are to the left at the end of the post. I can’t seem to figure out how to fix this.
2) Archives: Via page elements, I have choses “hierarchy”, “show post titles” and “monthly”, but when I click on the archive, it just shows all of the posts for 2007.
3) I can not change the fonts and colors.

hi!
great template, but we would need some minor help to adjust it a bit ..
1) we use a longer blog-title which gets above the graphics on top of the page. it looks good when using here and there, but it’s only possible when you put tags in Bloggers global title settings, which messes up how RSS feeds look like, etc ..
We would like to write our own string if possible, to use as the blog “title” on top of the page, instead of being locked to Blogger settings. How do we do this?
2) We now host our own images and it works well, buw we’ve also noticed a “mushblue_comments.gif” image that would be really cool to put to the left of the comments counter on the blog post.
3) It would also be nice to show all the comments directly beneath our posts, instead of popups or other sites. A form for comments on the page would be great aswell.
4) And at last, how do we remove/change color of the white box around the images?
Thanks for your answers in advance and kindest regards!

Hi Jack
Please, help me with this, i’m having a problem with my archives, i have choses hierarchy, show post titles and monthly, but as a result the archive date n post-count are displayed in new line. what problem could it be?
http://euseius3.blogspot.com/
When installing your theme, shortly there after I lose all formatting and it goes to a plain text based page. Any ideas as to why?
i have this same problem too.
im not sure if it’s a problem from blogger, or from this XML template. i really like this theme, but sadly it doesn’t work very well atm.
i tried to refresh it a couple of times, it would work for once. but next time when i open my blog page again, it would give me the plain text again.
Thank you in advance for your help. I am hoping I am not one of the people that didn’t read and do everything. I have hosted images and changed the timestamp .
Here are the problems I am having:
1) Archives: Via page elements, I have choses “hierarchy”, “show post titles” and “monthly”, but when I click on the archive, it just shows all of the posts for 2007.
