hi! i like this template, it’s the one that would go well with the theme of the blog im thinking of making. my only suggestion is could you make it a 3 column template? i’d sure be the first to download it

good luck!

Hi Rhyz- Unfortunately I don’t have a three column version of this parchment template. It’s a good idea though and maybe the original author Lorraine Barte would be kind enough to create one for us. You’d have to ask her directly though.

I’m actually surprised this template is so popular.

hi again! i used this 2-column style instead. However, i’m wondering if you can help me out. I have a problem with the fonts and colors… I’ve already uploaded the template on my new blogger account, but when i click on the fonts and colors nothing shows so I cannot edit the Fonts on the header and the title of the entries. When i look at my blog the title of the entries are bigger than the header title… I hope you can help me..

you can see my blog …www.ryeza.blogspot.com.

tnx

Hi Rhyz, I tried to visit that url but it’s not working. Could you provide me another url so I can check it out?

Also, did you try looking in the actual Parchment Blogger template header code to see if the fonts are in there?

Thanks,

David

Hmm…that url doesn’t work either. Is your blogger site currently down? You’ll need to actually edit the colors in the template code itself. Look for sections in the code like color:#000000; and you’ll need to change the colors there. Are you familiar at all with html and css?

Rhyz, I believe this is the code you want to edit for the post title. Change the font from 1.8em to something like 14px.

.entry-header{
color: #330000;
font: 1.8em Georgia, “Times New Roman”, Times, serif;
font-variant: small-caps;
background: transparent;
padding: 0 0 10px 0;
margin: 20px 20px 10px 20px;
}

Hi David!

Thanks for all the help… I was able to find that code for adjusting the font of the header.

I also want to make the font of the sidebar titles smaller, coz they are really huge, what code do i have to look for?

Also how do i make some spaces for the elements on the side bar? they just look too close to each other.

and how do i put the “Older Posts” at the bottom of the page?

would sure be glad for more help

Thanks

This is a very nice template but I would need some input so I can use it.

First when I went to the bottom part, there is no links to get to the older posts.

Second, I would like to use a kind of script font for the title. In order to do that I’d have to change the banner background and make sure the Title does not appear. Would you allow me to modify the background image and is there a way not to display the title.

Thank for any help

Hi JF, Thanks for catching the older posts link bug. I’ve updated the template so it should now appear so you should download it again.

Feel free to modify the background image and text. You can do it within the page element editor under the “Blog Posts” widget.

Oh lol, I did not know someone already ported “Parchment” to blogger. I also did a port from MT to Blogger (live demo - click my name).

Can’t help to notice that Blogcrowd’s version is using a light-brown parchment. My port was on November 2007, Blogcrowd’s Feb 2007.

Anyway, it’s a great theme/skin One of the few medieval templates available for public use.
