Ads Theme Template

 Click to enlarge Ads Theme Blogger template


If you’re looking for a new Blogger template, you came at the right time. Hands down, this is the best template we’ve converted here at eBlog Templates. It’s a wonderful web 2.0 popular blog layout with some great built in ad spots (hence the template name) and features.

It’s either a two or 3 column template (you can change it on the fly) so you get the best of both worlds. This Blogger template is what I call a “powerhouse” template since almost all the features you need are already built in. On top of that, it’s quite easy to setup and makes your blog look like a professional site without much effort.

I predict this template will be a top template on this site within a few months, if not weeks. With the amount of effort that went into converting this template and attention to details, I sure hope you appreciate this free amazing new xml Blogger/Blogspot template.

Features Include

  • Two or Three right side columns which are easy to switch (default is three)
  • Three great location ad spots (header banner 468 x 60, three 125 x 125 buttons in sidebar, and a 468 x 60 AdSense banner above the first post)
  • Integrated Feedburner rss and subscribe via email sidebar module (also includes “add to favorites” Technorati link)
  • Built-in live traffic feed widget from FEEDJIT
  • Built-in MyBlogLog and BlogCatalog recent reader widgets
  • Dynamic tabs easily created by editing the link list widget
  • Search box without the need for a “go” button
  • Recent posts and comments widgets
  • Nicely designed individual blog post comments section
  • Properly setup Blogger layout editor

You can see from this screenshot that the actual editor is nicely setup so you don’t need to scroll or try and figure out how to click on the “edit” widget links. Most templates that you download make it tough to edit — not this one!

This template does require some configuration in order to get it working as designed. Please follow the steps below if you’d like it to work properly. I also recommend backing up your existing template before changing just in case you run into any problems. You could also setup a new Blogger blog as a test area and try installing it there first.

Top Tabs Setup

When you first install this template the top tabs will not be visible which is normal. You’ll need to go into the Blogger page element layout editor and edit the “Top Tabs” widget. It’s a link list so just add whatever tabs you want. Don’t add a “Home” tab since it will automatically appear once you create and save the tab widget.

Header Ad Banner

The default banner is hardcoded into the template but will disappear when you add anything to this widget. It’s an HTML widget so you can put the banner ad code straight into this box. This widget can also be deleted if you don’t have a 468 x 60 and you’ll just be left with the black header. Here’s the default ad code if you want to use it as a model:

<a href="https://www.linkworth.com?a=10230" target="_blank">
<img src="https://www.linkworth.com/adm/affiliate_manager/affiliate_banners/bann-36.gif" border="0" />
</a>

FeedBurner RSS and Email Links

To get this section working you’ll first need to have a FeedBurner account. If you don’t already have one, please read the “How to Setup FeedBurner on Blogger” article and then come back. Another option is to just delete this widget if you’re not interested in knowing your subscriber count or allowing your readers an easy way to subscribe.

Once you’ve got your FeedBurner account, you’ll need to edit this template code and replace a few parts. Search your template code for the following line <!-- Replace Your RSS, RSS Email Subscription, and Technorati --> and then look right below that for the rss feed link.

https://feeds.feedburner.com/<strong>YOUR-FEED-NAME-HERE</strong> . Replace the text in red with your FeedBurner name (i.e. eBlogTemplates is ours)

Next we’ll need to update the subscribe via email link with your feed id. You’ll need to make sure to enable subscribe via email within FeedBurner otherwise this part won’t work.

https://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=YOUR-FEED-ID-HERE&loc=en_US

After you’ve changed both of these areas save your template and check to see if it works. If you’re having trouble finding your feed name or id, please read our article above or see FeedBurner’s help section to locate it.

125 x 125 Ad Section

These are the three ads in the right sidebar which you need to edit the template code to change. Search the template code for <!– Replace with your 125 x 125 ads –> and then look right below that for the three lines of ad code which are:

<a href="https://www.widgetbucks.com/home.page?referrer=7116002"><img src="https://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh92/eblogtemplates/adstheme/banner-widgetbucks.gif" border="0px" /></a>

<a href="https://www.linkworth.com/?a=10230"><img src="https://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh92/eblogtemplates/adstheme/banner-linkworth2.gif" border="0px" /></a>

<a href="https://www.text-link-ads.com/?ref=2164"><img src="https://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh92/eblogtemplates/ads/text_link_ads_F_125x125.gif" border="0px" /></a>

If you’ve got ads to place in here, then just paste the code into the template. I recommend signing up for your own Text Link Ads account and using them. Each referral you convert, you get $20 (or $25 I forget). If you don’t have ads to use, you can either leave our default ads or delete this widget altogether.

Recent Posts and Comments Widgets

This one is easy to setup since we’ve already written an entire article dedicated to this. Please see “How to Setup Recent Comments and Posts Widgets” to configure these two widgets.

Recent Readers Widget

You’ll need to have MyBlogLog and BlogCatalog accounts if you want to use this widget. The default widget will show the original author’s pictures so please either delete this widget or change the account ids to your own. Once you’ve setup these up, then edit the template code and search for <!-- Replace "2007112507294841" with your your mybloglog id --> and then replace the account numbers with yours.

Live Traffic Feed Widget

This is a really cool feature within this template and the best part is you don’t need to do anything to setup it up! There are some further options if you click on “options >>” on your actual blog page under the widget but that’s it.

You should now have the template all setup and ready to go. I hope you enjoy this beauty and please make sure to keep the footer links intact since numerous hours of my time and the original designer were put into making it. That’s all we ask for giving away this template! Enjoy!

Special thanks to Eric over at Blogging Secret for designing this wonderful template originally for WordPress.

Revision History

Update (3/3/08) – Per a couple requests and to make this template even more flexible, I’ve changed how underlined links are handled. You can now edit the underlined color via the Blogger “Fonts and Colors” section along with 10+ additional other color variables. Less work for you having to mess with the .css template code now.

Update (3/5/08) – Added in post author tags so you can toggle the “By Author Name” within the posts. Also compressed the css so the file is much slimmer and cleaner.

Update (3/14/08) – The individual posts Google AdSense code block was missing and has now been added to the template code.

Update (4/18/08) – Fixed layout screen so the two widgets aren’t overlapping.

@ramaraobobby. Search this code (label below titlt post):

<b:if cond=’data:post.labels’>
|
<b:loop values=’data:post.labels’ var=’label’>
<a expr:href=’data:label.url’ rel=’tag’><data:label.name/></a><b:if cond=’data:label.isLast != &quot;true&quot;’>,</b:if>
</b:loop>


   
ramaraobobby on Jun 26, 2009, 12:27 pm  

@shraqs

I have removed that code and the labels are gone under title but still there is some space left between title and content with a small grey spot. Check out the blog you will know. How can I remove that??

Anyways Many thanks for your help


   
shraqs on Jun 26, 2009, 5:44 pm  

That was just a post meta background color. Here’s the code :

<Variable name="bgcolorpostmeta" description="Post Meta Background Color"
type="color" default="#FFFF66" value="#ffffff">

And then change the HTML color code. What I’m using now on my blog is white background (#ffffff).

You can refer HTML color code via this link : http://html-color-codes.info/


   
ramaraobobby on Jun 26, 2009, 7:31 pm  

@shraqs

mine is set to #DEDFCC and I have changed it white #FFFFFF and that problem is solved, but there is gap as you can see in my blog between the title and start of content, how can we reduce that and bring it to normal??

Thank you for your help. You have been great.


   
hopechestjewelry on Jun 29, 2009, 7:54 am  

Oh, shraqs, I forgot one more important question. Does google crawl the content that I entered in Configure Text? I already entered a brief welcome to our site….etc. in Configure Text, there are some keywords in there that I would like Google to crawl. What do you think?


   
hopechestjewelry on Jun 29, 2009, 8:21 am  

Hi, shraqs, I am sorry, please forget about
“for Banner (468 x 60) that appears on the upper left side (above blog post). I can not see it in page element. Please direct me.”
I just found it.
I only need 2 other answers now. Thank you so much.

Is there a way to change the color of links in the post body from black/grey to a different color?

Right now, when someone reads my posts, they only see underlined words that I may have linked on and the links match all other text in my post.

Is there a way to make links stand out by adding a different color?

Hi! I’d love this setup but I’d like to make some color changes. My logo is pink and I’d like to make either the gray boxes a light green or a light pink or yellow or something more well… girly!

Hi, I’m trying to alter the header on this template so it is center aligned and not on the left. Tried several things and can’t get it to work. Any suggestions?


   
shabnamsultan on Jul 8, 2009, 9:38 pm  

In order to get the dates correctly. First go to your blogger dashboard then click on settings and then to formatting.After clicking on formatting select the option Times Stamp Format and do the needful changes.

In order to add recent comments-
1. Go to your Dashboard
2. Go to Template Tab
3. There you will see a widget manager. Click Add a Page Elements on the section you want to place the recent comment.
4. Now you should see a list of widget elements you can pick. click on the Add to Blog Button under HTML/Javascript. this element is useful if we want to add a 3rd party functionality or other code. so we pick this. remember to choose this elements each time you need to add third-party codes.
5. Now you should have a new popup window open,
– Leave the title blank
– And go to the content area.
– Copy this Code and paste on that widget content area.
please note: you should change the �http://YourBlogNameHere.blogspot.com� on the code with your own blog url.

var numposts = 10;

var showpostdate = false;

var showpostsummary = false;

var numchars = 100;

RECENT COMMENTS

.

click save changes.


   
shabnamsultan on Jul 8, 2009, 9:41 pm  

Code for recent comments-
Change the name to your blog name in http://YourBlogNameHere.blogspot.

var numposts = 10;

var showpostdate = false;

var showpostsummary = false;

var numchars = 100;

RECENT COMMENTS


   
Max Giusti on Jul 9, 2009, 3:02 pm

I tell you, I try every single Times Stamp Format many times….DONT WORK

Thanks Max

I was in my layout today and accidentally deleted some important gadgets. Here is my blog.
http://edirectglobal.blogspot.com/
I am now missing RSS, RSS Email Subscription, and Technorati. Please help me out. Can I have the html code for them and I will change them to my account later.
Thank you.


   
Linda on Jul 10, 2009, 11:07 am  

At the top of this page, the pictures shows the 125×125 ads section with the ads lining up 3 abreast– but I can’t get my ads to do that, it will only put two ads across and then the next one goes below. Any suggestions on how to correct this? Thanks.


   
Jenny on Jul 11, 2009, 6:05 pm  

I still don’t understand how to remove the adsense above my blogpost. i know this was asked before but it doesn’t seem answered. thank you, love the template!


   
shraqs on Jul 11, 2009, 11:50 pm  

@Jenny.

If you want to remove the 468×60 AdSense code above post section, follow the tutorial here : http://adsthemes1.blogspot.com/2009/05/how-to-configure-top-468×60-adsense.html

shraqs on Jul 12, 2009, 5:56 pm  

@Jenny.

Try to convert your code before add it to your template. Use ad code converter here:http://www.eblogtemplates.com/blogger-ad-code-converter/


   
Tim on Jul 14, 2009, 9:00 am  

I’m trying to replace the 125 x 125 banner ads with my own, but the code you said to replace is not in the ile at all. How do I replace those ads?

shraqs on Jul 15, 2009, 5:28 pm  

@Tim.
Find this code <!– Replace with your 125 x 125 ads –>

All the 125×125 ads banner are below it

Hey this is a great theme for my first blog. I made some modifications already, and removed the search option in the upper right. But now there is a background color that cover my header. How do I remove that. Its at http://www.bestnetbooksof2009.com. Thanks again.


   
Jenny on Jul 17, 2009, 9:03 pm  

Hello! Would like to know how to change the sidebar background color (the boxes surrounding the sidebar) from gray to black. Also please see my site http://www.thewritingmall.blogspot.com, my 468 x 60 ad is no longer centered in the header, how can I fix?
Thanks in advance for your kind help!


   
Irfan Mahmood on Jul 19, 2009, 2:55 am  

Very nice looking template.


   
Jenny on Jul 19, 2009, 8:14 am  

I fixed the ad problem, but would still like to know how to change the gray boxes surrounding the sidebar, thank you!


   
jayvince on Jul 21, 2009, 4:39 pm  

hello,

I downloaded the template but when I uploaded it in blogger, the characters show up as ��ȔΊ���kɻ���r�ĈD  JV���{� and I get the XML error message: Content is not allowed in prolog.

Is this a PC setting issue? What can you advise?


   
Talk2myCPA on Jul 22, 2009, 3:48 pm  

I just noticed that when you load the site everything is ok but when you click a post then everything will go to the left side of the template and the the right side will be completely empty.
