Red Stamp Template

Please welcome the latest Blogger template to our library. eBlog Templates was first to convert this classy web 2.0 styled Red Stamp template. It’s actually better than the original WordPress version since we’ve added in additional features like:

  • RSS Feed icon in the header
  • Recent Posts widget
  • Recent Comments widget
  • Ads widget

We’ve made this template as easy as possible for you to edit and even change the colors via Blogger’s built in “Fonts & Colors” tool. You don’t need to edit the template code at all (some people are afraid they’ll mess something up if they do) so all the configuration resides within Blogger’s native interface which you’re used to!

Here are the configurations you need to make to get this working properly. First off the header tabs won’t appear when you first install this. You need to go into “Template” => “Page Elements” and then edit the “Top Tabs” widget. Here you can add all the tabs you want which will automatically appear once you save it. No need to add a “Home” tab since it will magically appear once you add just one new tab. You’ll see what I’m talking about once you start playing around with it.

Working your way down the page elements you’ll next come across a widget called “you can change this text he…”. This is the neat red box you see below. Just edit this and change the title as well as enter any text you want in the box. The default text will vanish once you save it.

The other cool widgets you need to configure are easy as well. The “Recent Posts” and “Recent Comments” widgets are very simple. Read this post on how to easily set them up.

The Ads widget is just an html text box so you can put any sort of banner ad code in there. The default Text Link Ads button will automatically disappear once you do this. You can also of course remove the Ads widget altogether if you don’t want it.

You don’t need to configure the RSS Feed icon. We’ve set it up to work automatically for you!

Thanks to the folks over at AskGraphics for designing this template for WordPress. We love converting cool themes like this one so Blogger and Blogspot users can pimp their blogs too.

chitra, yes feel free to make any changes you want to this template. You need to understand the template code before attempting to make any changes though. Also backup your template just in case.

chitra, you’ll need to read up on the Blogger basics. Just visit the Blogger site and search their docs or try googling something like “Blogger tutorials”.

I love this layout but I was wondering about two things. 1) the date doesn’t show. It just shows the time instead of the date. 2) is there any possible way to add a navbar to the template?

Thanks and love the layout!

Hi I really like this template and am planning to use it for my first blog. However, I don’t have much use for the big red image (’you can change this text here!) just below the header…is there an easy way to remove that page element? Thanks

Hi - please ignore my comments regarding the ‘big red image’ - I found a good use for it!

@Todd, glad you got it figured out. I’d be interested to see what you ended up doing with the space if you wouldn’t mind sharing your blog url.

Hi,

I like the template!

Can you probably tell me how I can add the template so, that it will show a header by Day/Date/Time above each message(s) of one particular day

Sorry for my bad English by the way, I’m Dutch…

Patrick Burger on Jun 6, 2008, 10:35 pm

Hey, I don’t think these problems ever got answered…

1) Despite what the Post settings are, in the actual Posts it says “Posted on 12:34pm” with no date or author.

2) The sidebar on the right covers up a few words here and there from the posts…how can we make the side bar skinnier to prevent this?

Thanks!

Hello!

Can anyone help us on this? I installed this template on my blog and I managed to modify it so it would fit my tastes. However, there are 3 issues that bother me and I really don’t know how to solve them:

:arrow: posts won’t show the date/day, only time and labels (btw, I would also like to get rid of those brackets) :?:
:arrow: the text of each post has the tendency to disappear somewhere in the right and that is really frustrating :mad:
:arrow: many posts change their fonts, from Georgia (my default font) to Arial, from bigger to smaller ones, and some pictures also disappear in the extreme right of the posts :shock:

Please leave me a comment here (so that everyone who has these problems can see it) or on my mail if you’ve managed to solve if not all three issues, at least one of them. :roll:

Your help will be kindly appreciated. Bye for now!

So I figured out how to “uncover” the words that disappear in the right of the posts. :idea:

Log in to Blogger. On your Dashboard, select Layout. This will take you to the Template tab. Click Edit HTML. Under the Edit Template section you will see you blog’s HTML. Search for these codes (if you are using Firefox, use Ctrl+F so you can find them faster):

.post-body p {
margin:0px;
text-indent:20px;
color:#595959;
float:left;
font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size:13px;
line-height:20px;
padding:10px 0px 5px 5px;
width:530px

Change the width from 530 to 500, for example (that’s how I use it), then save the template. Et voilà!

1 problem solved, 2 to go. :roll:

Hi there

I really like the ‘red stamp’ but blogger won’t let me save it as a template because I get the following error message:

The new widget id “Recent-Posts-Widget1″ is invalid for type: Feed

Any ideas

Please give us the FIX for this error that everyone is having:

The new widget id “Recent-Posts-Widget1″ is invalid for type: Feed

This is one of the sharpest templates on here but we are unable to use it because of some code problems.

Please help!

I’ve fixed the download everyone. Blogger made some changes to their system a few months back and it broke many 3rd party templates like this one.

    You only need one file Ken. Just install the xml file and it’s good to go. All images are hosted remotely.

I download this, and i get a zipped file and its got one document, an XML file and it opens with internet explorer. This is what it says:

The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

——————————————————————————–

The server did not understand the request, or the request was invalid. Error processing resource ‘http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtm…

What do I do now? I tried opening it with another file and what i got out of that certainly wasn’t a template.
