  Hi, Amanda! I've just started reading your blog and I love it. Thank you so much for this book!! I just downloaded it and glanced through it but will read it thoroughly later. I'm redesigning my blog and was just thinking the other day that I wished that all the info I needed was in one place. And now it is thanks to you!!

  Despite being on WordPress, I think that it is a great guide and have written up a review of it on my blog (as my blog is about blogging in general). Information is organized very well unlike some other blogging resources.
  
  Thanks again for the great eBook!

  Congrats on the new book! I have already downloaded it and have learned a couple of things.
  
  I'm using so many things from your site. I am creating a post today to link to your site to help other bloggers.
  
  Thanks, Amanda!

  hi there amanda, i've been a fan of your website since i discovered it. i love your posts and your tips. i just have one problem with my site. it's http://rhoroe.blogspot.com, its a music blog by the way. the problem is that when i view my blog on iexplorer, the design messed up, sidebar contents/widgets were centered along with the post entries. but when i view my blog on mozilla, everything is okay. can you help me with this? i've been trying to figure out the solution for weeks but i cant get any. thanks you so much. :)

  For Rho:
  
  It seems there isn't enough room for the sidebar and the main posts column to display next to each other, which means the sidebar is pushed below your posts.
  
  Firstly I would try increasing the width of your outer-wrapper (this is currently set at 860px). If you increase the width to 880px or perhaps a little more, the sidebar should pop back into place.
  
  If this doesn't seem to work for you, feel free to send me your template code (my email is amanda [at] bloggerbuster [dot] com) and I'll take a look at the code for you.
  
  Thanks for stopping by!

  For Lizzie: I'm so glad you enjoy this ebook! I did write this as a "beginners' guide" so it's great that this is working the way I planned.
  
  For Annabelle: Thanks for your comments :) The eBook became much longer than planned, though I'm happy to know you find it a comprehensive guide.
  
  For DarkUFO: I do have a follow-up planned which will include everything I'm writing about in the Blogger Template Design series (but with added extras, of course!). It will probably take much longer to get this next one published though, as this will be a "complete" guide!
  
  I have to admit that I was nervous about how this ebook would be received, so thank you all for your great feedback so far! You really give me incentive for writing my next one!
  
  For Nekki, Jim and Fabler: thank you so much for your kind comments! I enjoyed writing this book, so it makes my day to know that others enjoy reading this too :)
  
  For Blog Tipz: wow, thank you so much for the write-up about my ebook!! Your blog is really informative and I love the simplicity of your design.
  
  For Conservative Belle: I'm glad you've found this guide so informative. Thank you for writing about this!

  This is great - thank you so much for doing this. I've been a blogger for years but am new to Blogger itself. Cannot wait to jump in and start really creating my own layout!

  Thanks Amanda. I came upon an answer you had posted to a question on blogger and then came here. The book looks great! I am a new blogger, but have found myself as the answer person for some fellow bloggers. Thanks again.

  Thank you so much for this ebook Amanda! I'm familiar with wordpress but not blogger and I was tired of using the default template I had found so using your information I finally customized my site. I'm sure I'll be back for some of your other hacks and tips. :)

  Thank you for the great blog, very useful and the Cheats Guide eBook. Today I came across a useful site for ebooks which I also publish about my art work.
  You probably know already, being ahead of the curve.

  This eBook is great!
  
  But the codes for adding a Sidebar Heading background don't seem to work for me. I think it's the Scribe template acting up again...

  Hello Amanda,
  I am a lady of a Brazilian blog who helps other bloggers to personalize his and I create templates, as well as the Blogger Buster.
  I would like knowing if I can postair in my blog his lessons translated to help the Brazilian bloggers.
  I Already translated his tutorial to put the date of the post in the form of calendar and quoted his blog like fountain, it is clear.
  With his authorization I will always be going to quote his blog as fountain and you like creator of the directions. I hardly will do the translation of English for the Portuguese.
  I wait for his answer.
  Very much obliged from now.

  you're amazing! is there any way to stretch a background image (as opposed to the text) so that the text doesn't spil onto the darker portion of the image? check out my blog to see what i'm talking about. http://mindofamomma.blogspot.com
  
  thanks soo much!

  Thank you so much for this guide, Amanda! I followed your instructions to tweak my template and it worked beautifully. I like that I can easily swap out my header and background texture whenever the whim hits me. Thank you for generously sharing your knowledge!!!

  Amanda, your tutorials have been extremely helpful. Thanks for all the work.
  
  On a minima lefty stretch, do you have an idea why my header image won't display? I followed your directions, but the original header is what still shows, not my custom design.
