Today morning, I got an email from my hosting company that my account was temporarily suspended due to excessive usage of Bandwidth.
Daily thousands of people are downloading our template copies.So, it's understandable. I got my account back and I can't afford to get it suspended again.
I edited each template again and changed the image links (presently, images hosted in 5 Photobucket accounts).
I'm providing the template image files in the download file.So, if you really like a template, please feel free to spend 10 minutes on uploading the image files to your account and change the image links in the template.. so, the problem will never repeat again.
How to do that?? (Tutorial)
QUICK METHOD:
1.Download a Fresh Copy of the template and replace your template code from
<head>
<b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
<b:skin><![CDATA[/*
to
]]></b:skin>
</head>
with the one in the fresh copy

Hi I don't understand what you mean but is that reason my template design at the top is gone http://aysh918.blogspot.com/?
Could please tell me what exactly I have to do about changing the image links?
Hi Ayesha, I just wrote a tutorial about that.. check it out..
First I re-copied the template an uploaded it but figured making all the changes would be too exhausting so I went back to the 'damaged' template however now using your tutorial above I get this error on Photobucket: 1 of 3 images have uploaded
Upload failed for main_bg.gif with error: Resize error:Bad resize geometry: 160 x 0
Upload failed for hr.gif with error: Resize error:Bad resize geometry: 160 x 0
Continue to tag or add descriptions to your successful uploads.
Please advice :/
Hi Ayesha, Please follow the "Quick Method"
Thats great, but it ends up like this, see my title:

I got my blog 99% restored. Thanks to your advice. However, two things were not restored. one is the font size of the "dates" on the articles posted. It is bigger than the posts. How can I decrease size of date-fonts? second is the, background of the title is gone. i used to have a two-tone colors on the background titles of every posted articles...can i restore them? thanks
i think it was a divider between the posted articles that was not restored. It's the "date" that is now separating the articles.

Hi there , i am a newbie of blogger.
May i request to create a new template for me ?
Thanks .
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I tried the quick method above and I'm receiving 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: The character sequence "]]>" must not appear in content unless used to mark the end of a CDATA section.
I'm using the funkyzine template. My website is www.nikonnovice.com
OK, I think I fixed it. I replaced all the "http...jpg" files with ones hosted on my photobucket account.
hi Kimberly,
I visited you site.. and it seems that the problem is already solved... you have nice blog :)

Hi Kranthi,
I've been using you zanblue template & really like it.
This explains all the missing images few days ago. I have put all the images file in my photobucket & everything back to normal.
However, now I can't see the date at each posting. Hope you could take a peek at my blog & assist me what to do to fix the problem.
Many thanks

hi Anom,
for Zanblue, there is one more extra file you have to upload..
look at the top of the template, you'll find this url:
http://myblogtalk.com/bloggertemplates/zanblue/jdate.js
Download this file and upload to googlepages and replace that myblogtalk url.
thanks.
Hi kranthi...
problem solved. Thanks very much :)
Anom

my posts on the three column charcoal are pushed down after the third columns content, can you help me with this problem?
it's been okay but something has recently happened to change it.
thanks in advance -- www.taawd.com
Hi Taawd,
I think the photos you added at the bottom of the right sidebar exceeded the width of the sidebar and pushing the main column downwards.Try to decrease those photo sizes.
thanks.
kranthi,
thanks for the response. unfortunately that's not it because i deleted them and it's still the case.
any further advice would be appreciated!
todd
okay, it was the twitter update module which i like, is there a way to change the parameters of the template so i can display it and not cause problems.
thanks again much,
todd
hi taawd,
go through the template..and try to alter the widths and see how it goes(backup the current template first)..
ex:
width:300px;
Hi there , may i ask some question ?
I found a Wordpress Theme generator , i can use it to make a layout i like , but after i save the file and i download the ZIP file , it dint have a XML file in the ZIP file , but just some CSS code and some PHP file with some IMAGE , can i convert it into blogger XML file ? Can you help me ? If can , kindly email me , thanks

hi ALvin, Converting a wordpress theme to Blogger xml format is very tough task. You have to learn html,css,php,xml languages first to do that. Good luck.
oh , thanks , looks like i have lots to learn ...
Hi Kranthi,
I DL'd the Butterfly & have found it is it isn't centering like yours. It's off pulling to the right & the left on respective sides. I was able to tweak the right side a bit to pull it in. Is there anything I can do to easily correct this.
Thanks,

Hi kranthi I don't understand why you have that quick method posted all I did was upload the photos you gave us (I'm using the Charcoal2 template which I love)to photobucket and just added them to the html is that the right way because mine showup and I even added my own touch to the header but how I block the blog title I only put a period in for the header title so it wont affect my top edit but now I think my site won't show up in search engines because it's only a period and noone gonna look for that LOL so how we hide the header name?
Thanks diva42

alotgreener@blogspot.com
Thanks!
Hi friend better use sites.google.com
I am using it as my image server for my blog....
http://sites.google.com/site/dnserver1
Hi Kranthi,
How can I upload the images files?
Can you tell me the details? Are the images files from Photo Bucket?
I already made a Photo Bucket account but couldn't find the images.
Hoping for your help.

hey kranthi,
how to i replace my template code to that from the method you taught? i don't really understand... but i did find this code in the template.. even if i add the ]]< /b:skin> at the bottom of the CDATA.. but it appear error.
I am getting a photobucket bandwith error on my Japanese fluer template? I can't see any of the images. I understand what you are saying about opening my own account and loading the images there. But I can't access the tutorial on how to do this? Am I in the right spot?
Hie hie,
I tried to upload the jpeg for colours_of_life to host on photobucket but i got this error
"Upload failed for niceback.gif with error: Resize error:Bad resize geometry: 0 x 160
"
What should I do???
thanks!
Blogger hosted by blogspot can make money by selling bandwith. But why they don't do that?
The images files are named differently than they are named in the folder. ;__; so when i went to go in and replace "top_bg.jpg" (via find & then paste)... it couldn't find "top_bg.jpg"... then i realized all of the image files had some obscure alpha-numerical name and they were all hosted on tinypic.com...
does that mean i still have to host the images myself?
i'm kind of confused, lol...
sorry! and thanks for your help ^^ i love this template~~
oh! i just realized i didn't say WHAT template, lol. it's "japanese fleur"
thanks again! ^^
@ Esther,
If it is tinypic, you don't need to make any changes.. Because TINYPIC don't have any bandwidth limitations...
If the template has photobucket url's.. then you have to change them...
thanks.
