Dilectio Template
Here’s a nice three column modern artistic Blogger template with some nice bells and whistles. It has a cool search box and “About You” section with a red/orange background along with a custom date/time stamp for each post. This template is only the second one ever to include javascript tabs within the sidebar. That means instead of the page reloading each time you click on a tab, it dynamically clicks over! Check out the live demo to see it in action.
This free Blogger template is also setup for you to easily add Google AdSense and make money from your blog. If you don’t already have Google AdSense, you should read more about how to make money from Blogger and sign-up. The ad format and colors you should use to best match this template are illustrated below. The 300 x 250 rectangle with #fff3e2 for the border and background, #cc0000 for the text, and #856d65 for the title and url. This will make your ad block blend in nicely with the light pink second column.
You’ll also need to setup the header tabs before they appear. Just edit the “top tabs” widget and create the tabs you want. The “Home” tab automatically appears once you create your first tab.
To setup the recent posts and comments cool dynamic tab section you’ll need to paste in your rss feeds. Read this article on setting up your Blogger recent comments and posts section.
The rest of the configuration is pretty straight forward. If your individual blog post date stamp doesn’t show up, you’ll need to make one more change. Go into your Blogger’s “Settings” tab and then click on “Formatting”. Next, change the “Timestamp Format” (it’s the 4th one down) to this format => “Wednesday, February, 2008″. Make sure you change the “Timestamp Format” and NOT the “Date Header Format”. Many people in the past have told me it didn’t work only to find out they were changing the wrong field.
This template was originally designed by Design Disease for WordPress and was converted into Blogger by Blog and Web. eBlog Templates decided to take it one step further and enhance it to include the dynamic header tabs and javascript recent posts and comments tab section.

It’s really simple. From Dashboard –> Settings –> Comments and clicked on Pop-up window.
Greetings and lots of love from Malaysia.
Thanks, will try it again now.
Hola Ron,

Hola riaz776,
I was wondering how did you set-up Dilectio’s template? It was suppose to be a straight forward procedure. Here’s how you do it;
1. Download Dilectio’s template and save somewhere you can easily find
2. In Edit HTML mode, click ‘Browse’ and find the template you’ve downloaded earlier
3. Click ‘Upload’
4. In your case there will be several ‘Widgets are about to be deleted’ - confirm and save.
5. Voila! You have got Dilectio as your blog’s template.
I hope that help.
Greetings and lots of love from Malaysia.

ArahMan7, would you please kindly tell me how to put a Recent Posts column below the red About section? Thanks in advance, Wendy.
Hey, I like your template, I have a small problem with it though: when I try to configure the “Recent Posts or Recent Comments” I get a blank “Configure Feed” window with no option for the feed URL in it. Can you please tell me what to do to fix this. Thanx, Alex
Like Alex, the “Recent Posts or Recent Comments” only gives a blank window. Would you please fix it at your convenience? Thanks a lot!–CC
i loved this blog..
i m applying it on my blog..
thanks a lot David!

Hi!
I just downloaded the Dilectio template for my new blog; however, I can’t seem to get the date to show up on my posts. I did play with the date header format under settings/formatting. Is there a way to fix it? Should I re-upload the template?
Thanks!
Hola Kate,
Here’s what David (eBlog Templates Founder) wrote up above,
Go into your Blogger’s “Settings” tab and then click on “Formatting”. Next, change the “Timestamp Format” (it’s the 4th one down) to this format => “Wednesday, February, 2008?. Make sure you change the “Timestamp Format” and NOT the “Date Header Format”. Many people in the past have told me it didn’t work only to find out they were changing the wrong field.
Read it carefully and I’m sure you’ll get it right in no time.
Greetings and lots of love from Malaysia.
