Aspire Template

Please see post #91 and let me know if this is correct….please

This is user frndly blog.greattttttttt

Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly.
XML error message: Content is not allowed in prolog.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!?!

Aspire is great. It would be nice if you could provide some information in the readme to tell users how to change or turn-off the bullets in the link lists and archive. If the entries get very long they look really tacky with the * embedded in the text.

Hi, I love the layout, but I’ve tried uploading the file and copy & pasting, and with both I get error messages on Blogger. When uploading the xml file, I get this 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: Content is not allowed in prolog.

What am I doing wrong?

Love the template. But I can’t figure out how to get the date in the box. Tried some of the things above, but nothing seemed to work. Any ideas? Thanks!

PLEASE, SOMEONE PLEASE HELP. Stuck and can’t proceed until I get help.
Aspire template is awesome but date is being stubborn.
My settings are:
(date header) “Sep 13, 2008″
(timestamp format) “Saturday, September 13, 2008

Isn’t this correct?
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP! thanks

Love the look and feel of this template. Was extremely tempted to use it but because of the way it reads the DATE, it does not put a TIME on the posts. Sorry, have to pass. I want the time AND the date on my posts.

VERY HAPPY! I just reinstalled the template and the date works perfectly! However, I no longer have the horizontal links at the top (header? nav?). I do not “do code” very well. This template is the best ever and is worth these little things to fuss over. Please help asap so I can “keep on going.” Thanks so very, very, very much.

Hi there, Can i post the template in my new post as one of the best blogger templates of 2008. I will put a backlink from my blog as well

Hello,
This template is absolutely beautiful, but everytime I download it, I get an error message saying:

“Please correct the error below, and submit your template again.
Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly.
XML error message: Content is not allowed in prolog.”

I have absolutely no idea what I am doing wrong, so if someone could PLEASE help me, I would really appreciate it. I already read everyone elses comments, and I noticed that some other people had the same problem….but I didn’t read any solutions.

Thanks so much!

Hi,

This is really a Nice Template. I am using this template on my blog @ http://directlinksheaven.blogspot.com , which provides download links to latest movies and games.

Thanks for the Template.

Hi and thanks for this nice template.I started to use its 3 columns blogger version.And my problem is the very first top post is not clickable.When i post a new one and it becomes second post then its ok.I saw that someone mentioned the same issue as a problem but could not see the solution.Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi! how can i install this template in my blog?
im a noob……

Hi David,

Thanks for the Great Template . But since I have started using it, it failed me to show the post date . My blog is at http://directlinksheaven.blogspot.com . So could you please review it and let me know the error please ? That is much appreciatable.

Also I have uploaded my Aspire template to http://www.mediafire.com/?zdwzwylygqo . Please see it and correct it and send me to my mail at ghananisnow@yahoo.com .

hey David thnkoO for such a nice piece of ART!!!

Pranav20 and I are both having the same problem, the date is not showing up on the top left corner of the new posts. Everything else is wonderful and it’s by far the best blog format I’ve seen so I’m very reluctant to switch, but that big empty box is distracting and really destroys the flow of the blog.

Please let me know if there is an anticipated fix, or how the problem can be resolved.

Thanks.

In first, sorry for my bad english…
I have download Aspire , but when I want to open the XML page, Explorer said:
The server did not understand the request, or the request was invalid. Erreur de traitement de la ressource http://www.w3.o...

I fall in love with this them, I want it ;p

I have find a solution ;p
*now searching for change coulour of font*
*reading last comments*

…other question now ^^
How can I do some pages, appears as “home”, “about” or “contact” in the exemple image?
thanks for your answers.

@jahyra
you have to edit link bar from page elements part.eg:for manin page add your mani page url and give name as main page.or for contact,write your contact adress as url give name as contact

I love this template. I have tried everything, but the date does not appear. My template also looks different from the template most of you have. I can’t find in it any place where to put the codes for date.

I’d very very thankful for advice.

ah ok! thanks sishyphos !! <3

Still hoping for a fix for the missing date on the posts.

Any ideas/fixes/suggestions??

Nice template.

Thanks

Thanks for the creator of this template. I’m using this template and my friends said its nice. I have the same problem with the date before but now the date is showing up. I tried to change the setting of the date in my blog, that is setting > formatting and it works. (Sorry for my bad English).

really great template! luv it!
but my ‘post comment’ button doesn’t work…
in other words.. no1 can post any comments..
can any1 help me with tat please? thx

To make the date on your posts work:

- Go to your Blogger’s “Settings” tab
- Click on “Formatting”
- Change the “Timestamp Format” (the 4th one from the top) to this format => “Wednesday, February, 2008″.
- Make sure you change the “Timestamp Format” and NOT the “Date Header Format”

Prolog error: Please extract file and upload xml file only to blogger template

Nice template, I would like to help you guys iron out the following issues and can be available to modify code and test it out. I am somewhat code savvy, though not in touch with web programming.

Assistance needed:

1) Upload to blogger gave me an error saying type=HTML not allowed. So I had to drop several widgets from the code – EasyChari, Ads and FeedJit

2) Fonts and Colors – Tried clicking on this tab under layout, it is empty and I am unable to make any change

3) Recent Posts and Recent Comments – empty, cannot edit anything within since nothing is shown – dont know if this is related to the above issues

Thanks in advance.

Nice blog.I found here gorgeous Blogger templates.Its very useful.Thanks for your templates

Tried more than four different ways of installing this. Blogger won’t take this. It says it’s badly formatted. Copy and pasted the thing (with difficulty) in pieces. It doesn’t show up.

Rosepetalkitten,

There are three versions of this blog code lying around on this site, if Im not mistaken. First, find the two that are for blogger and not the one for wordpress. Then, open the zip files, there should be one with “a text user instructions file and an XML” and another with “only the XML”. Use the instructions from the text file and the XML from the other zip file and thigns should work. Note, my other comment above where I could not get certain parts to work without removing some of the widgets. Otherwise my blog is working just fine. Check it out at sternmystic.blogspot

Thanks to whoever created this. I only wish you could spend somemore time to iron out a few remaining bugs and add enhancements to allow some popular features.

regards, tanticvanity.

xml doesn’t open, i can’t use this template…what to do???

It’s telling me that it cannot save the template due to an error.

Please correct the error below, and submit your template again.
The new widget id “EasyChair” is invalid for type: HTML

Ok, maybe I’m just not as smart as I would like to think. There is not a single blog on here that I can get to download. They all tell me the XML page cannot be displayed.
What am I doing wrong?

i like aspire templates. but how can i download it to my blog? im new. thanks
my blog: hometowncafe108.blogspot.com
my email: hometowncafe@yahoo.com

It was almost a month I do to find how to post comments from this aspire template. Finally, I could make it! I can make my date show up exactly like what it supposed to be, and people can post their comments again!!! If you like to know more, please feel free to go to the link below :

Ups. Sorry. Here is the links :

Hi,
wonderful templates.Here are some gorgeous Blogger templates.Its very helpful.Anyone can try.

I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong, but I cannot figure out how to download/upload(?) this template onto my blog. I have a mac. Can anyone give me directions? Thx.

Hi everyone. I am Normi.
Iâ??m not sure what Iâ??m doing wrong, but I cannot figure out how to download this template onto my blog. Can anyone give me directions?
Thank yOU.

Well,
I have finally realized this template is not real. I have asked the same question everyone else seems to be needing an answer to. How do I download this to my blog?
I asked a month ago and apparently there is no answer to this question.
Obviously there are alot more problems with this template than just the downloading part. Kinda scary there guys.

Judi, I do able to download the aspire template. You can see my blog to proof it. If not, I would be likely to share with you.

I am using the Aspire template. I have been recently told that no one can leave me comments. How do I fix that?

Kate,

Feel free to see my blog. It is an aspire template.
Or go to this link to fix the comments widget :

http://lexonos.blogspot.com/2009/03/post-comments.html

The answer is right in the beginning of each line….where you find the # and PX after it…reduce that # to whatever size you want and the text will follow.

It would help if you go into a spreadsheet or word processing program like Excel or Word and test font sizes so you can get an idea on how big letters should be.

I recently installed this template, works like a charm!

I just installed this template!It is wonderfull!Most of my friends said that!Thank you all!

I am having problems with the date on the the blog posts and it also says undefined under it.

I found out how to get rid of the undefined, but it does not work with your template.

I would appreciate some help on getting the date corrected.

Otherwise I will have to use a different template.

Hello
I hope that someone could help (my english is not very good).

I have installed the template without major problems, but the date is not visible and commentary cannot be left s either.

I have followed the steps on that they comment more up to solve these problems but it has not given me result.

Hi…

This template is very good. I like this template. But I have a mini problem.

First post is not clickable. Why?

Please help me.

David is sleeping… May be

I would like to have the date posted in the top left hand corner, but it is currently showing the time it was post (i.e. 09 AM). Could you tell me how to get the date to post?

Aswani… I visited your blog and see that you were able to fix the comment link. I would love to know what you did to fix the problem.

Ron… I looked at your blog and I see that the date is posted in the small box to the left of your post title. My blog is displaying the time that it was posted. Could you offer any suggestions on how I could get the date in the box?

Hi, I love the aspire template I am trying to use it but gosh soooo many problems. The date is not showing. I followed instructions and changed “easy chair” to HTML33 and then “feedjit” was not allowed so change that to HTML 34 then “ads” were not allowed so change them to html35 and now instead of undefind were the date should be there is a blank space.

So frustrated. Any help PLEASE

Hey everyone…

Here is some help I recieved from a help forum that allowed me to make the first post clickable. As far as I can tell there has been no cosmetic changes to the blog. Below is a simple fix.

You can view my changes @ http://larrywestfall.blogspot.com

That may be a template feature.

I seem to remember looking at the template before and the source of the problem may be that
and its background image, cover the top of the post column.

That style seems to primarily provide the dividing line that extends from the corner image. If you look at the other posts, the corner image (above the date) is there, but not the line. .begin contains a complete image with the corner and line.

Here’s the style that provides the corner plus the line at the top of the post column:
.begin {background: url(http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh92/eblogtemplates/
aspire/begin.gif) 10px 0px no-repeat; position:absolute; top:10px; left:0px; width:100%;
height:40px; z-index:10;}

If you change that height:40px; to height:5px, the title will become clickable (it is a link, like the other post titles.)

I’m not sure that is a proper fix. When you do that, you actually see parts of two images. 5px of the one above and the rest from the one below. You probably should contact the template designer and point out the problem.

The corner image on the other posts is in this style:

.content .date {font:normal 24px/47px Georgia; margin-right:10px; color:#ffffff;
float:left; width:59px; height:56px; overflow:hidden; text-align:center; background:
url(http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh92/eblogtemplates/aspire/date-bg.gif) no-repeat;}

I’ll add that that whole top section seems to rely on a css error in this style:
.content-wrapper {position:relative; width:627px; overflow=hidden;}

There is no overflow=hidden in css and changing it to overflow:hidden causes the top to reformat in an undesirable way.

Go to layout:setting:formatting

On the formatting page go to the fourth category down. It is labeled Timestamp Format and change the format to: Friday, September 18, 2009.

This worked for me and seems to be the only setting that will put the date in the box. This worked for me. I also just posted a fix at the bottom of the page to make your first link clickable.

I have the same problem, the “Date” didn’t display on my blog, but after reading the suggestion from May Bukas Pa, finally the “Date” already appears again on my blog….Thanks May Bukas Pa for your suggestion…

Regards,
Pierre
Nice Inspiration

Is there a way for me to shift one of the side bars to the left of the blog posts? So I could have left sidebar-blog posts-right sidebar instead of blog posts-sidebar-sidebar?

Thanks
