Firstly, thank you and then a question. Blog archive shows posts yearly… How can I change it monthly or daily?
Hi Zicron,
you can do that.
1. go to your widget control / page elements
2. click on edit on the archive widget
3. there you can see the options.
thanks
I tried this many times, but it didn’t change. Now, I have just changed its style from hierarchy to Flat List and my problem is solved
thank you…
Another question, I changed timestamp format like you said before and there isn’t any problem on my main page, I can see dates correctly. However, if I click “older posts” on my main page, I cannot see dates… for example, I upload the theme entertainuk.blogspot.com , there isn’t any problem on main page or posts’ page. However, if you click older posts on main page (only on main page), you cannot see date…
hope you can solve this, thank you
I have just looked on your site. and.. did you ever change/ modify the post widget?
ok now,
1. please change this:
<a class=’blog-pager-older-link’ expr:href=’data:olderPageUrl’ expr:id=’data:widget.instanceId + “_blog-pager-older-link”‘ expr:title=’data:olderPageTitle’><data:olderPageTitle/></a>
into this
<a class=’blog-pager-older-link’ expr:href=’data:olderPageUrl’ expr:id=’”new_” + data:widget.instanceId + “_blog-pager-older-link”‘ expr:title=’data:olderPageTitle’><data:olderPageTitle/></a>
2. and this
<a expr:href=’data:newerPageUrl’ expr:id=’data:widget.instanceId + “_blog-pager-newer-link”‘ expr:title=’data:newerPageTitle’><data:newerPageTitle/></a>
into this
<a expr:href=’data:newerPageUrl’ expr:id=’”new_” + data:widget.instanceId + “_blog-pager-newer-link”‘ expr:title=’data:newerPageTitle’><data:newerPageTitle/></a>
it should work.
This code does not work for me. I get the following 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: Open quote is expected for attribute “{1}” associated with an element type “expr:id”.
I would like help to see my full archives as well instead of just by year.
Hi Sheriece,
please read all the instruction to install a blogger template here. thanks
Ok, I read that article, and it does not address this issue at all. The template itself works great for me. The specific issues I am having is making my full archives viewable (not just a year of archives at a time). Does that make sense?
What does this mean? Keep giving me this error when i try to modify the xml. Also if i saved the original back it keep giving me the same message:
“We were unable to save your template
Please correct the error below, and submit your template again.
Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly.
XML error message: The element type “HEAD” must be terminated by the matching end-tag “”.”
PLs Help!!!!!

Hi Eve,
please read my post again carefully, there you can find the answer.
btw, here if you want to read more about recent post and search form
the title is replaced by a header image. you can change that header image. this is the url you should replace with your own url.
background:url(http://dftheme.googlepages.com/df_logo.gif) no-repeat 0 0;
find that line, and change http://dftheme.googlepages.com/df_logo.gif with your own image url.
thanks
should it be the same size as the logo in the template? can my image be bigger than that? there is a vertical bar after the logo image,can I remove that? would it affect the “home” and

Hey Jack,
I was wondering how to set up the “About Me” button at the top of the theme. Currently, when I click on it, it doesn’t do anything.
Hi Alex,
1. Go to your template editor,
2. Edit HTML
3. Tick the Expand Widget Template
4. find this line, <a href=’#About’ title=’About’>About</a>
there you can change the #about, with your own about page.
thanks
you wrote: “there you can change the #about, with your own about page.”
What “own about page”? How do I make this “about page” look like my homepage?

hey Jack! i just wanted to say thanks for all the help. my blog is officially done! it doesn’t even contain any errors which blows my mind. thanks again…

Hey Jack…Thanks for the template..But I have a Problem..I dont want the Labels to Open and Close .. I want them open..any hack for that…?
just move the labels widget into another section.
see on your page elements.
I didnt get you..wat do u mean by another section?
*answered on the first same question. thanks
I didnt get you…what do u mean by another section?
section is a kind of block which handles your widgets.
if you are dragging your widget move to another block (ie from your sidebar to your footer) that means you are moving your widget to another section (ie from sidebar section to footer section)
OK…Thanx for the reply..

Hi Jack,
Can you tell me how to add the backlinks feature into this template? I have them enabled in the blogger settings but there is no link for people to click on to backlink my post. I read on the blogger help website that you need to put in a code for custom templates but I can’t find it anywhere.
Thanks!

Hi Jack! first of all thank you for this amazing template!
btw, I have a little problem… I fixed all the bugs, but there’s just one thing I cant understand… whrn people leave comments their nickname is attached to the verb.. for example: dicherylha, steha, and so on… you can see it http://langoloidiota.blogspot.com/2007/11/pimped.html#comments
do you know how to fix it? thank you!

Hi
Love this theme by the way! Thanks so much !
Its all good, except is there a way to have a logo that is larger than the logo that is being used. I am using my own logo, but its the same size as the example one.
Is there a way to have a wider logo and have the divider and navigation tabs slide over?
why do you have never left your URL here people so i can check your site.
thanks
and probably give you some advices
Nevermind, I found the solution looking through these comments.
Thanks anyways
