If you’re looking for a new Blogger template, you came at the right time. Hands down, this is the best template we’ve converted here at eBlog Templates. It’s a wonderful web 2.0 popular blog layout with some great built in ad spots (hence the template name) and features.
It’s either a two or 3 column template (you can change it on the fly) so you get the best of both worlds. This Blogger template is what I call a “powerhouse” template since almost all the features you need are already built in. On top of that, it’s quite easy to setup and makes your blog look like a professional site without much effort.
I predict this template will be a top template on this site within a few months, if not weeks. With the amount of effort that went into converting this template and attention to details, I sure hope you appreciate this free amazing new xml Blogger/Blogspot template.
You can see from this screenshot that the actual editor is nicely setup so you don’t need to scroll or try and figure out how to click on the “edit” widget links. Most templates that you download make it tough to edit — not this one!

This template does require some configuration in order to get it working as designed. Please follow the steps below if you’d like it to work properly. I also recommend backing up your existing template before changing just in case you run into any problems. You could also setup a new Blogger blog as a test area and try installing it there first.
When you first install this template the top tabs will not be visible which is normal. You’ll need to go into the Blogger page element layout editor and edit the “Top Tabs” widget. It’s a link list so just add whatever tabs you want. Don’t add a “Home” tab since it will automatically appear once you create and save the tab widget.
The default banner is hardcoded into the template but will disappear when you add anything to this widget. It’s an HTML widget so you can put the banner ad code straight into this box. This widget can also be deleted if you don’t have a 468 x 60 and you’ll just be left with the black header. Here’s the default ad code if you want to use it as a model:
<a href="http://www.linkworth.com?a=10230" target="_blank">
<img src="http://www.linkworth.com/adm/affiliate_manager/affiliate_banners/bann-36.gif" border="0" />
</a>
To get this section working you’ll first need to have a FeedBurner account. If you don’t already have one, please read the “How to Setup FeedBurner on Blogger” article and then come back. Another option is to just delete this widget if you’re not interested in knowing your subscriber count or allowing your readers an easy way to subscribe.
Once you’ve got your FeedBurner account, you’ll need to edit this template code and replace a few parts. Search your template code for the following line <!-- Replace Your RSS, RSS Email Subscription, and Technorati --> and then look right below that for the rss feed link.
http://feeds.feedburner.com/<strong>YOUR-FEED-NAME-HERE</strong> . Replace the text in red with your FeedBurner name (i.e. eBlogTemplates is ours)
Next we’ll need to update the subscribe via email link with your feed id. You’ll need to make sure to enable subscribe via email within FeedBurner otherwise this part won’t work.
http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=YOUR-FEED-ID-HERE&loc=en_US
After you’ve changed both of these areas save your template and check to see if it works. If you’re having trouble finding your feed name or id, please read our article above or see FeedBurner’s help section to locate it.
These are the three ads in the right sidebar which you need to edit the template code to change. Search the template code for <!– Replace with your 125 x 125 ads –> and then look right below that for the three lines of ad code which are:
<a href="http://www.widgetbucks.com/home.page?referrer=7116002"><img src="http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh92/eblogtemplates/adstheme/banner-widgetbucks.gif" border="0px" /></a> <a href="http://www.linkworth.com/?a=10230"><img src="http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh92/eblogtemplates/adstheme/banner-linkworth2.gif" border="0px" /></a> <a href="http://www.text-link-ads.com/?ref=2164"><img src="http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh92/eblogtemplates/ads/text_link_ads_F_125x125.gif" border="0px" /></a>
If you’ve got ads to place in here, then just paste the code into the template. I recommend signing up for your own Text Link Ads account and using them. Each referral you convert, you get $20 (or $25 I forget). If you don’t have ads to use, you can either leave our default ads or delete this widget altogether.
This one is easy to setup since we’ve already written an entire article dedicated to this. Please see “How to Setup Recent Comments and Posts Widgets” to configure these two widgets.
You’ll need to have MyBlogLog and BlogCatalog accounts if you want to use this widget. The default widget will show the original author’s pictures so please either delete this widget or change the account ids to your own. Once you’ve setup these up, then edit the template code and search for <!-- Replace "2007112507294841" with your your mybloglog id --> and then replace the account numbers with yours.
This is a really cool feature within this template and the best part is you don’t need to do anything to setup it up! There are some further options if you click on “options >>” on your actual blog page under the widget but that’s it.
You should now have the template all setup and ready to go. I hope you enjoy this beauty and please make sure to keep the footer links intact since numerous hours of my time and the original designer were put into making it. That’s all we ask for giving away this template! Enjoy!
Special thanks to Eric over at Blogging Secret for designing this wonderful template originally for WordPress.
Update (3/3/08) - Per a couple requests and to make this template even more flexible, I’ve changed how underlined links are handled. You can now edit the underlined color via the Blogger “Fonts and Colors” section along with 10+ additional other color variables. Less work for you having to mess with the .css template code now.
Update (3/5/08) - Added in post author tags so you can toggle the “By Author Name” within the posts. Also compressed the css so the file is much slimmer and cleaner.
Update (3/14/08) - The individual posts Google AdSense code block was missing and has now been added to the template code.
Update (4/18/08) - Fixed layout screen so the two widgets aren’t overlapping.

Error fixed. Thanks to all those who helped me in this regard.
Here is what I have done
Changed the code that says
.contentwrapper{width:920px; margin:0 auto; margin-bottom:5px; background:#0000 url(http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh92/eblogtemplates/adstheme/sbbg.gif) repeat-y right}
to
.contentwrapper{width:920px; margin:0 auto; margin-bottom:5px; background:#FFFFFF url(http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x166/ramarao_bobby/Ads%20Theme%20Blogger%20Template/sbbg.gif) repeat-y right}
Explanation about the changes
�>
In the default code, the background hex code is #0000 which denotes black color.
So, it has to be changed the hex color code of your choice. Here, I have changed it to #FFFFFF which denoted White color.
Now, my background is white.
�>
The image URL used in the default code is not working becoz of the fact that it might be getting too much traffic as funny guy said, so I have uploaded it to my photobucket account used that image url.
That�s it!! The problem is fixed.
Hope this helps�.

ramaraobobby

Hi, After downloading the Ads Theme template, it saved as a xml file which I cannot open. It says that my sever does not support xml. Any suggestions on how I can correct this “error”? Help will be appreciated.
Hi, I have a problem with this layout that i cannot seem to fix. everything is ok on the homepage where there are 10 posts displayed, however, when you visit an individual post my ‘categories’ widget drops through the footer. any ideas how to fix this?
Does anybody know how to remove the search bar on this template?
Find this code and delete it :
<form expr:action=’data:blog.homepageUrl + "search"’ id=’searchform’ method=’get’ name=’searchform’>
<b:if cond=’data:title’/>
<div id=’search’>
<input class=’s’ id=’s’ name=’q’ onblur=’if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'To search, type and hit enter';}’ onfocus=’if (this.value == 'To search, type and hit enter') {this.value = '';}’ type=’text’ value=’To search, type and hit enter’/>
<input id=’searchsubmit’ type=’hidden’ value=’Search’/>
<data:content/>
</div>
</form>
We use this template, and I am wondering - Is there an easy way to change our site around, so there is one section of ads on the right side and one section of ads on the left side (so that the main content is in the middle), rather than 2 ad columns on the right side?

Header Ad Banner Issue:
Hello. This is a great theme. I am having a lot of trouble the Header Ad Banner. Just as your instructions say, whenever I put anything into the box, the whole thing just disappears. But, your instructions also say that I CAN put my code straight into the box — how do I do that without making it disappear? I guess I’m really confused. Please help me out. Thank you…
@rachellewms.
Search the header add banner code first, then replace with with your new ad banner code (468×60). Sometimes, you need to convert the code first before add it ti your blog. You can convert it buy going to this link http://www.eblogtemplates.com/blogger-ad-code-converter/
Hope this will help

Please let me know. Thank you for your help.
Just follow this simple step to get your mybloglog ID :
1. Signup to your MyBloglog account
2. Your Home -> My Sites and Services -> click on widget and you’ll see your ID within Your Code section looks like this ………mblID=2009022*********……….
I got it. Thank you very much!

sen giderken biz gelmek admin
@shraqs
I have removed that code and the labels are gone under title but still there is some space left between title and content with a small grey spot. Check out the blog you will know. How can I remove that??
Anyways Many thanks for your help
That was just a post meta background color. Here’s the code :
<Variable name="bgcolorpostmeta" description="Post Meta Background Color"
type="color" default="#FFFF66" value="#ffffff">
And then change the HTML color code. What I’m using now on my blog is white background (#ffffff).
You can refer HTML color code via this link : http://html-color-codes.info/
@shraqs
mine is set to #DEDFCC and I have changed it white #FFFFFF and that problem is solved, but there is gap as you can see in my blog between the title and start of content, how can we reduce that and bring it to normal??
@ ramaraobobby
Just delete all this code:
<span class=’meta’> …. to ….</span>
This template is awesome. I am using it for my blog http://car-insuranceforeveryone.blogspot.com and is working fine.
@shraqs
I cannot do that coz I have intenseDebate comments widget code installed between &
I think its better if you chat directly. Tell me your yahoo messenger id.
The adsense block above the blogpost ,
seems to be gone within page elements.
Stil it appears on the site ,how to edit this one?
@shraqs , subsribed to yours,love the special deal at the right corner.Is that inclused in your theme?
Any tips on where to get a premium one based on yours for blogger?
Hi, shraqs, for Banner (468 x 60) that appears on the upper left side (above blog post). I can not see it in page element. Please direct me.
2nd question, the other day, I tried to put a (200×90)Displays up to 5 links ad in between my paragraphs (sentences in my article), it won’t show up. Currently, I have 3 ad block ads on one page. Any idea?
Thank you for your help. You have been great.
Oh, shraqs, I forgot one more important question. Does google crawl the content that I entered in Configure Text? I already entered a brief welcome to our site….etc. in Configure Text, there are some keywords in there that I would like Google to crawl. What do you think?
Hi, shraqs, I am sorry, please forget about
“for Banner (468 x 60) that appears on the upper left side (above blog post). I can not see it in page element. Please direct me.”
I just found it.
I only need 2 other answers now. Thank you so much.
@ hopechestjewelry

i can’t seem to get the popular posts and recent posts/comments to work
I tried recreating it using the feeds widget but it still doesn’t work. any suggestions? thanks!
Is there a way to change the color of links in the post body from black/grey to a different color?
Right now, when someone reads my posts, they only see underlined words that I may have linked on and the links match all other text in my post.
Is there a way to make links stand out by adding a different color?
