Blogger Template: Photoblog II

>> Browse templatesMoney tips85 comments


The template image is captured from a 1024 pixels wide screen. This template has 3 'sidebar' columns below the post column. The theme is photoblog - the post column is wide without any other columns next to it. This style is especially great if you want to build a photo blog with lots of large photos and images. Click here to learn how to post large photos and images in your blog.

After reading the 'post large photo' instructions, I'd recommend that the width you use for this photoblog is 810px, ie, use the code below to post your large photos:

<img src="http://PhotoURL" width="810px" />

The height will adjust accordingly to keep the original image aspect ratio.

Header Image
The header image doesn't come with the template file. To put the header image in your blog, left-click on the image below and save the actual size into your computer. Then, upload the image into the Header Page Element in the Layout section of your blog.

Header image credit: adapted from dmb.

If you want to use your own image for the header, the image has to be 940 pixels wide (with any height) to fit the header nicely. Click here for more helpful links on template installation guides and instructions.

Ads
This template was customized so that you can put ads in a lot of places. In addition to the usual sidebar, header, and main columns, you can place long leaderboard-size ads above and below the blog and above the footer. Check out these ads locations in this test blog.

Terms of Use
The template is free but please value our hours of design work by leaving the footer credit to Ourblogtemplates.com intact.

I tried using this on blogger and I keep getting a message (we were unable to save your template, it's not well formed, make sure the XML elements are closed properly".

anyone have any ideas?

Jennifer Rickard September 27, 2008 4:01 AM  

I love this template! It's perfect for photography...just wondering though if anyone is having issues adding Archives? I added the archive widget under the post section (in the lower bar area) and all the months stack on top of each other. Any idea how to fix it?

Mamique October 08, 2008 11:16 PM  

Love this template, but would prefer to have the link bar on top of my main photo. Any suggestions how I could do that? Thanks

OBT October 13, 2008 4:34 PM  

mamique, we're thinking of putting new photoblog with the menubar on top in a couple of days.

If you want to put them yourself, you can learn all the tutorials because everything is there, but it'll be tricky on how to make it look good and blend nicely with the template...

i can NOT for the life of me get the picture in the header to be a "normal" size. i've tried changing the pixel size in photofiltre and all kinds of things and it's either HUGE or it's smaller, but only halfway across the screen. what do i need to do??

I love this too, but I'm also getting the XML error message... This is the third layout I've tried and I get the error message every time. Help?

Modern Matriarch January 05, 2009 5:22 PM  

I am also getting error messages when I try and install this template. I really adore the template and would even be willing to pay for it, but I just can't seem to get it to work. I also tried Photoblog III to see if that would work and it did not either.

Kristel January 06, 2009 1:13 AM  

People can't post comments on my blog. There is a error in the template. How do I fix this.

I love this template, it's perfect for my blog http://ang3553.blogspot.com/
Thank you!

AngelaRae January 07, 2009 4:18 AM  

Help!

Okay, I still love the template but I just realized the little tool icons are visible to everyone, not just me. They are big and ugly, how do I remove them?

http://ang3553.blogspot.com/

Angela January 08, 2009 9:25 PM  

I figured out how to remove the unsighly wrench icons on my widgets that everyone could see. I'm posting the solution here in case anyone else experiences the same problem.

REMOVE SCREWDRIVER ICON (FOR EDITING WIDGETS)
First, back up your template. Then go to:
DASHBOARD ► LAYOUT ► EDIT HTML ► click on the EXPAND WIDGET TEMPLATES, and find the following line in the code section (use CTRL + F for searching):

b:include name='quickedit'

...you have to delete that line. Sometimes, you have to do it for every widget. For example, if you have 3 "screwdrivers", that means you have 3 widgets, and you have to delete a line for each..

J'ai flâné pour vous January 12, 2009 7:03 AM  

merci pour tous vos liens…
je suis très intérressée par ce template : Photoblog, n"éanmoins, il me faudrait cette même configuration avec une colonne à droite.
pouvez-vous m'aider?

mille mercis

When I tried to download a template, I am getting a message "cannot view XML in style sheet". Could somebody tell me why is this happening.

Missy February 26, 2009 8:09 AM  

I've been using this template for my photo blog and I LOVE It. I have one big issue though!! When you click to the direct link of any given post, it doesn't give you the option to post or view past comments. Is there ANY way I could get this fixed? Many people view my posts with my Recent Posts widget and when they click on those they don't have the ability to add a comment. Please help!!

Kazam Media March 03, 2009 9:44 AM  

Hi, Im using your template for my new portfolio blog and the feedback is great. Thanks for doing it.
One query though: the "Recent Posts" widget isnt working, its not letting me put my feed details in, and the box that pops up to edit the feed is blank for some reason. As its blank I cant delete the widget either.
Any ideas?

Admin March 03, 2009 12:00 PM

For those of you who keep getting error messages, I had the same problem, I think what I did was go to my old layout settings, then I deleted all the widgets, then I tried to install the new template.
Good luck :)
Now my problem is I can't seem to comment on this new template, any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks.

Assuming I have created tabs in the linkbar, for example, Home, About Us, Archive list etc.

I have seen a lot of bloggers creating a post for each of these tabs, is there a better way that creating posts for these tabs ?

Looking forward to your help on this...Thomas

Hollie July 07, 2009 10:33 AM  

I love this template, but I can't figure out how to center my pictures. I don't see anything about sidebar wrapper in the html, so how do I make the margins equal when I post a square picture?? Please help My blog is 940 px wide http://www.photographybyhollie.blogspot.com/

Mik July 12, 2009 12:19 AM  

Not bad at all, tweaking it right now awesome job guys.

Mik July 12, 2009 9:41 PM  

So how do you get the recent posts widget to work?

drewmark19 July 19, 2009 7:22 AM  

I had an issue with this template when using LiveWriter with Blogger. I wasn't able to center text or have spacing between paragraphs without physically going into the html portion and coding it.

LiveWriter troubleshooted for me and found out that I needed to delete part of the code.

If you have this issue, find this coding:

.post-body p {
/* Fix bug in IE5/Win with italics in posts */
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
padding: 3px 0px 3px 0px;
display: inline; /* to fix floating-ads wrapping problem in IE */
height: 1%;
overflow: visible;
}


What you would need to delete in that coding is:

display: inline; /* to fix floating-ads wrapping problem in IE */
height: 1%;
overflow: visible;

Hope this helps anyone who is having issues with formatting when using LiveWriter with your blogger account.

Jessica July 22, 2009 2:10 AM  

Hello —

Can anyone tell me if the colors and type are editable without coding...

meaning if I don't want to mess with the code AT ALL will I be able to customize this specific template?

Thanks!

drewmark19 July 22, 2009 8:17 PM  

Jessica,

Yes, you can customize the template. Just go to the fonts/colors section of blogger and you can change all of it there. Super easy to do!

Sarah August 14, 2009 10:16 AM  

Love the template but don't seem to have a 'posted by' entry box so at the bottom of my post it just has | 0 comments.....anybody know how I can add this in html?

Thanks, Sarah

Tokyo Resident October 04, 2009 7:52 PM  

I was wondering if somebody could help me. On the original template, only one blog entry appears at a time (with there being a link to older posts). On my blog, however, older posts are not being hidden. What is the solution to this problem?

This template rocks! The only issue I have with it right now is making the tabs appear. It only has my banner and then the posts. I really want the tabs to be there as I want my blog to have more of the website feel.

I've already checked out some of your blogs, and it's half and half. Can I get some feedback from those who've figured it out?

Email me at
