Ads Theme Template
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.
Features Include
- Two or Three right side columns which are easy to switch (default is three)
- Three great location ad spots (header banner 468 x 60, three 125 x 125 buttons in sidebar, and a 468 x 60 AdSense banner above the first post)
- Integrated Feedburner rss and subscribe via email sidebar module (also includes “add to favorites” Technorati link)
- Built-in live traffic feed widget from FEEDJIT
- Built-in MyBlogLog and BlogCatalog recent reader widgets
- Dynamic tabs easily created by editing the link list widget
- Search box without the need for a “go” button
- Recent posts and comments widgets
- Nicely designed individual blog post comments section
- Properly setup Blogger layout editor
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.
Top Tabs Setup
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.
Header Ad Banner
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="https://www.linkworth.com?a=10230" target="_blank">
<img src="https://www.linkworth.com/adm/affiliate_manager/affiliate_banners/bann-36.gif" border="0" />
</a>
FeedBurner RSS and Email Links
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.
https://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.
https://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.
125 x 125 Ad Section
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="https://www.widgetbucks.com/home.page?referrer=7116002"><img src="https://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh92/eblogtemplates/adstheme/banner-widgetbucks.gif" border="0px" /></a> <a href="https://www.linkworth.com/?a=10230"><img src="https://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh92/eblogtemplates/adstheme/banner-linkworth2.gif" border="0px" /></a> <a href="https://www.text-link-ads.com/?ref=2164"><img src="https://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.
Recent Posts and Comments Widgets
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.
Recent Readers Widget
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.
Live Traffic Feed Widget
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.
Revision History
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.

This might seem like a silly question, but any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated. Now that I’m using this template, my dashboard disappears, effectively eliminating my ability to post to the blog. Will the dashboard be visible to other bloggers? I’m just worried they won’t be able to post to my blog.
Hallo David,
I Badly Need Your Help
Thanks for your template I am using it for my site, http://technoblogger.info. But one problem is that when it is opened with IE6 there is a problem. And one more serious problem I have is that when I search for “site:technoblogger.info” on Google in discription it comes same thing and “skip to main | skip to sidebar. Change Your Life With An Idea Of Riches. If you are thinking to be rich you have the right to accumulate riches. …” and what is this skip to main and skip to sidebar . Why it comes in search results
Hello! This is really a super nice template that i am so glad you helped create! I’ve been using it for about a month now and it has been phenomenal. I do have one question though. How do you get rid of the bar that the search home about, etc. buttons are on? I have no need for those things, so i got rid of them, but have been left with this bar in the background. Could you please help me solve this problem? You will see what i am talking about if you go to http://www.whootbeer.com
very nice!
thx very much!
Sorry, Where is the Navigation Bar???
Thank you very much 😉

I’m really loving it!
When I view this template on Firefox the 125×125 advertisements on the right column are stacked instead of in a horizontal row. check it out on firefox (3.0.5): http://www.coffeecupnews.org
But when I view it in Safari it looks great! Since the majority of people surf in Firefox this is a big deal to me…
any ideas or fixes?
One follow up question: How do I edit the adsense that appear at the top under the Header & above the first post?

Hello hobbit,
It is a momentary problem with blogger.com. As i have posted my comment yesterday that i am not able to confirm and save the template, it was easily uplaoded today. I easily tried different templates. Now i am using an eblogtemplate, other than ads-theme.
One thing i would like to suggest you that you create an another blog and try everything on your dummy blog. Thats what i am doing. You can see the template applied at my dummy blog http://ultimatestrategies.blogspot.com just for testing it. After that i will work it on my main blog at http://theartofstart.blogspot.com
Thanks

I really like this template. I’m still working on things. I was wondering if there is any way to put he blogger Navbar back in top. I feel it’s just easier to post that way being that I have two blogs. Thanks.
Wonderful template..!! I liked it very much..!! 🙂
But one thing is disappointing… I don’t want the google ads to be displayed below the Header taps [Home,About,Contact,etc.]
Is der a way to remove it?? If so plz kindly comment..!!:)
hello Pradeep,

Hope this helps ^_^

Hi guys,
I’m very new to this blogger custom template & I was wondering if anyone of you could help me out a little bit.
My problem:
1) I get a few errors while uploading the XML file & I clicked on “confirm & delete” since “cancel” doesn’t seem to be a good way to go…does that affect the whole layout?
2) The layout that I get after uploading is different from the one shown by the author. My “Top Tabs” appears on top of my “search” widget instead of side by side. How do i make it side by side with the “search” section? Also, when I clicked on “edit”, how do I insert separate tabs like “home”, “about”, etc.?
3) How do I change the 3 column default layout to a 2 column one?
Thanks guys!
thank you..thank you…and thank you
Thanks much for this wonderful template.
