36 "Magical" 3 Column Template now available (inspired by Harry Potter!)
August 21, 2007 /

After such a lot of work, I have finally completed the "Magical" 3 column Blogger template for you to use in your blogs. I have to say that this is my favorite template design so far! The theme was inspired by the Harry Potter series of books/films, and features optional widgets that complement the theme. Here's a screenshot for you:


As usual, this screenshot doesn't do the template justice! Please take a look at the demonstration blog for this template here to get a better look (link opens in a new window).
While the heavy use of images and Javascripts make this template load slower than my other templates, I'm sure you'll agree this is a fair compromise for the overall effect.
This template features:
  • Unique magical theme
  • Animated blog header (watch out for the bat!)
  • Customizable background, fonts, sidebar backgrounds and font colors
  • Label cloud designed to suit the theme
  • Post dividers
  • "Drop Caps" span style for the first letter of each paragraph
The download package for this template features the template's XML file, a help file, all images featured in the template for you to upload to your own hosting account, plus all widget templates for you to install the widgets in your blog. This is a Zip (compressed) file which you should save to your computer and open with a decompression program such as WinZip or WinRar (free).

You can download the full template below:

As with all my templates, you are free to modify this template as you wish. Please leave the author credits intact within the template itself and do not redistribute this template without a link back to Blogger Buster!

As you can imagine, this template in particular took a lot of time and work to complete (and yet I'm distributing it for free...) so I do appreciate all the link love I can get. A link back to Blogger Buster in your sidebar is always appreciated. If you like this template, please tell your friends about it too!

  7. hi Amanda, congratz for producing another high quality template...

    however, i feel that the width ia a tab too wide and that it would be nice to shrink the width of the sidebar to better fit the majority screen resolution... otherwise when someone viewed the blog, part of the right side of the content will be hidden, and you will see a horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of the page... to see the hidden part, you will have to scroll horizontally to see it... this may discourage visitors with small screen from visiting the blog again...

    but still good job...

  8. Thank you all for your comments on this template! As Cym and Joker have mentioned, the template is a little too wide for some browsers, so in the near future I will probably create a narrower version and a 2 column version too.

  25. Looks like the widgets and the images are no longer being hosted anywhere? I uploaded the images to my own host - but the widgets were cool and I can't find replacements for them anywhere. Hoping all is well with you Amanda - this is my favorite template of all time.
