Thanks for sharing a awesome template for blogger. It makes my blog very cool.
Does anyone know how to remove the Up&Down arrows?

Seriously speaking the template of your blog was the one which I wanted to adopt. I love the left sticky bar in your blog and I wanted to apply this template in my own blog too. Yesterday I was intending to search this template on internet but you have made this easier for me. Thanks dear I am a fan of your blog :)

great tamplate thanks for sharing
very very nice thanks for you
Sir you are great....thank you nice job
thanks man. great tamplate thanks for sharing.
this website is so amazing! support
Amazing site. Love your tutorials. This template is pretty cool, however I would like to add a larger header at the top, centered, like most blogs. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
If you are using an image instead of the blog title, add this CSS instead:
#header-inner {
margin: 0px auto;
}
Hi Ricardo,
Where's the space because I can't see any? Could you please make a screenshot? Thanks.
Could it be possible to add a left-sidebar & the navigation menu at the top?
Hi! Thank you for this fantastic template, I'm searching a long time to find something so simple and useful! Your information for bloggers that are not PC experts are very useful, I love your site. My problem is that I want to make the menu bar as in most blogs, not vertical, but static horizontal. How can this be done? I also want to change "Recent Posts" to my language (Greek). Where to find it? Thanks in advance!
dear admin, could help me to solve my problem, I had a video post those video is coming from youtube, and then after I posted I've noticed that it's has no thumbnail (I used your costumized template here) and when I share it or copying the url of my post on my facebook timeline its has no thumbnail of that video hope you could help a lot ..
Sorry but you will need to add the pictures manually.

Realy you are a master mind bloggerer. On the internet i did not see like your bloggerer and your blog's template.
Tooooooooooo....Thanks.....
I read your blog for a long time and recommend it to others in my choice of blogs "http://izborblogovazezamix.blogspot.com/2014/05/pomoc-i-savjeti-za-bloganje.html"
I've installed your template "CustomizeMe Grid Style" on my blog "http://onatankanit.blogspot.com/" and I am thrilled with how it works.
You are a very good teacher, when even I, who know nothing about programming, managed to set up this lovely template !!!
There are some details that I wanted to change, so please for your advice.
1.- I want to remove the profile of the author, which is located below each post. Is it possible to do and how?
I tried to shut down when editing a post, but it does not work.
I want at the foot the post is just a date, tags, author's name - without icons with an image, as is customary in the Blogger templates.
This is because I want to write a few blogs, and I intend to make one a profile page, and a link on there site to put on all my blogs
.
2.-Do titles of widgets in the right sidebar, which are now is centered, can move to the left? Please advice how to do it.
3.- I would like to remove social icons (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) under the title Post? How can I do?
I'm using AddThis icons and want to locate them
under the completing post. I like how it looks on your blog. Please, can you help me?
Forgive my mistakes in English, I use google translate.
Many thanks and I send you a cordial greeting to the old lady from the Croatian.

Thank yoy for sharing your template. I have used it in my new blog: http://http://tuminadoro.blogspot.com.es/
It's not finished yet but...I like the result :-)
Good job and thank yoy very much! :-)
Hi TK,
Go to Layout > on the right side you'll see the Popular Posts gadget > click on the "Edit" link and change the number of the "Display up to ... post(s)" option, then click on the "Save" button.
Hi Gurpreet,
First, try to find (CTRL + F) this line in the Template's HTML:
<b:section class='foot' id='footer-3' showaddelement='yes'/>
And just below it, add this html code:
<div class="footer-pages">
<a href="#">Page title</a>
</div>
Add your pages between the div tags in bold.
And to solve the alignment, find this tag:
]]></b:skin>
Just above it, add this code:
.region-inner.footer-inner > div {text-align: right !important;width: auto !important;}
.footer-pages {float: left;display: inline-block;padding: 5px;}
I hope this will work for you.
Thanks that fixed it! Here is the actual line of code:
http://dirtytrailshoes.blogspot.com/search/label/Training?&max-results=7
How about the extra space above the second column? Can that be fixed?
Not sure how to include a screenshot. But if you go to my site then click. 'Training' you will see two columns : one aligned and the second off by a few lines. Then, the second row is fine. It is just the first line that is off and not sure where that formating is taking place. Thanks. Scott
Hi Scott,
Did you enable the ads between posts, by any chance? You can check this by going to Layout, and on the right side is the "Blog Posts" section - click on the Edit link and look for the "Show ads between posts" option. The checkbox should be unchecked. See this screenshot for more info.
That was it. As soon as I unchecked 'show ads between posts' all my posts line up correctly in three columns. Thanks for educating me about this. Great template!
Hi!!!
I'm using it in my blog, thank you!!!
