Blue Hawaii Blogger Template

3 column Blogger template
Blue Hawaii Template
With the recent update of the original free HTML template that Hawaii is based on I thought I'd add the extra colorsets to my Blogger Template list.

Two versions of this template have been produced, the original content-sidebar-sidebar layout, and the sidebar-content-sidebar layout that a few Bloggers seem to prefer. The images have been uploaded to ImageShack so most Bloggers will only need to download the template files, but if you do need to host the images yourself, the zipfile for Hawaii has been updated to include all four versions of this great template and all the images.

As an interesting aside, the Elvis Presley film Blue Hawaii from 1961 which also stars Joan Blackman is one of my all time favorite films. I know it's a bit old now but it's good fun with a great soundtrack.

    i love your design. i'm not too good with anything code related and wanted to use your template for my blogspot. was wondering if you could give me a quick way to do it. i tried and it kept giving me an error because it didn't have one of these ">" i of course don't really know what that is but would love to display your template on my blog. please help.

    Thanks Jackie, it's great that you love the design.

    As for the >, I've just tried reinstalling both versions on my test account and they work perfectly, so the problem could be that when you pasted the template you've missed some of the text, could you try downloading the version you want onto your hard-drive, and then in the Blogger edit HTML page click upload instead of pasting the theme?

    i just figured it out. i should've just downloaded it to my computer initially. works great now. now my question is how do i work with the tabs on the header. could you help out with that.

    Sure no problem.

    You need to scroll down a fair way into the template until you find "div id='navigation'"

    Just below that you'll see the links for about me, my flickr etc.

    Now all you need to do is change the words, and to include your actual link, simply replace the # symbol before the link word with the URL you want to go to. So instead of #, you'd have http://www.yoursite.com

    Hope that helps,

    thanks so much. it has helped a lot. one more thing...sorry, everytime i reply it seems like i keep asking for more help.
    i was wondering if i could change the size of the font when i post. i tried making it bigger on the actual posting page but once i posted it it came out small. can you help?

    No problem,

    Everytime you ask a question it helps anyone else who might view this page, and makes me realise my templates aren't perfect so maybe there is just a little bit more I do to make them better, but I digress...

    In the CSS I set the blog post font a 9pt to keep it regular throughout and I've just tested the template to see if I could change font sizes in the post editor, you only get the option of smallest, small, normal, large, and largest and they all work for me even after I've published the post.

    Did the font size actually change for you? And is this still too small? Or was it exactly the same size font regardless of what you did?

    Hi there, I am using one of your templates, The blue Hawai sidebar/content/sidebar version and i am trying to add the following small script from feedburner to track some statistics for my side:

    [javascript deleted]

    According to the instructions i must insert the above code from step 1 just below but there is nothing like it in your template.

    As a second alternative it says: "Don't see this code? You may be using a customized or non-standard Blogger template. Don't panic! Paste the code near the post metadata (author, date, comments, etc)."

    Any idead where i should insert the code without my blogger page to crash?

    Hi Amarantos,

    Within the code, look for a line that includes "post-footer-line-3" and place the code immediately after this, but before the

    ........ because you were so fast her comes another question. Wherever I add picture/graphic in the blog using the template, there is a light grey border around it. You can see it in my blog. Is there a way to change it (either by changing the color to be the same with the background or by removing it completely).

    Thanks again
    Amarantos

    Sure can,

    In the CSS look for this;

    img {
    border: 1px solid #f1f1f1;
    background-color: #f5f5f5;
    margin: 5px;
    padding: 5px;
    text-align: center; }

    and simply remove the border and background color, or change the colors to something more suitable.

    I'd love to see this template get ported to Wordpress but I don't know all that much about Wordpress themes myself so I'd need to take my time. Are you able to help?
