Creative Experiments - Shoutpost HelpShoutPost Template Review
2007-01-23
As of this time -- here is what you can and cannot do to each (selection of 6) templates here at ShoutPost.
The Default Template -- which I have, you can do the most to. Everyone starts with this template once they sign up.
You can add backgrounds for both the background and the Blog Roll links and also the blog entry title bar. There are two HTML boxes also on the navigation bar.
You can put a small banner in the first HTML box however it will sit under your Blog Roll. If you do not use the BlogRoll feature, then your banner will sit at the top of the sidebar.
7/08 - update: You can use this code here to create a floating linked banner with mouse over text that sits over the ugly default one. You can adjust the size a bit (pixel size I used was 563 wide and 152 high). If you make a banner on your own, it needs to be saved as a png. Shoutpost does not accept png files so you need to use an off site photo album to link your banner up.
As of this point, I do not know how this would affect the blog title in searches if it is covered up but it does have the link that takes you to the main page.
Upload backgrounds into your images and select from there.
Fleck -- Blue with the Monkey like image. Right now, this template only offers two things -- add an e-mail tab and change your blog font. No HTML box to add custom links or widgets or change background to a custom background.
Monsters are Waiting -- You can add a body image background, a head image, a left side background and bar. There are no HTML boxes to add custom links or widgets. You need to upload images on your account for backgrounds.
BitterSweet -- You can add a header graphic image (size 630 x 180, upload into your image account here) and there is a right side HTML box. You cannot change the body background so it stays Kermit Green.
Zen Like -- You can add a header graphic image (size 746 x 109, upload into your image account here). You cannot change the body background and there are no HTML boxes to add custom links or widgets.
Creame -- as of this time, the only thing you can change is the main blog font -- no graphic header, no HTML box, no background color change. (Dreaded red x in the box on the template page sometimes.)
You can change your template at any time and revert back if you do not like it.
Background blog images or header graphic images must be uploaded into your account for you to use them in your blog.
On the Default Template, images can be HTML coded and inserted from picture sharing sites like PhotoBucket, Slide, RockYou, etc.
Important: Make sure if you have HTML boxes, that you copy your codes first before you change your template just in case you revert and they don't come back.
I will update when changes are made.
Hope this helps.
