Real Life Design's Fall Freebie

If you'd like to use the backgrounds only:
  1. Right click on the image. Select "View Background Image."
  2. Right click on the image. Select "Save Image As."
  3. Upload the image to your photo host (ie. Photobucket)
  4. Paste the two green lines into your template, substituting the url of your image:
body {
background:url(URL OF YOUR IMAGE); repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
margin:0;
color:$textcolor;
font:x-small Georgia Serif;
font-size/* */:/**/small;
font-size: /**/small;
text-align: center;
If you'd like to replace your entire template:
  1. Download the HTML/CSS template here.
  2. Manually backup all your sidebar widgets by copying and pasting them into a Word document. You'll probably lose them when switching the templates.
  3. Go to the Layout tab from your Blogger Dashboard. Click Edit HTML.
  4. Back up your current template by copying and pasting it into a Word document.
  5. Erase the HTML from your blog (AFTER backing it up!) and insert the Free Blogger Template HTML.
  6. Click Preview. Remember your header image will not be there yet. You'll add it in the next step.
  7. If the blog looks right, Save Template. If not, revert to your backed up version, and start again.

If you use this design, please add the Real Life Design button to your sidebar or footer. Copy and paste this code:

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><a href="http://www.reallifedesign.net/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk253/RealLifeDesign/Real%20Life/BlogButton-1.jpg" alt="Real Life Blog Design" border="0" /></a></span>
