¿Dónde aprendiste a hacer los templates? Yo siempre estoy intentando hacerlos pero no lo consigo ):

Hi. I like this one. But why i can’t download it on my blog? Is it because this template is for XML blogger and not for HTML? Sorry for my stupid question.

I hope there are plans to make this a WordPress theme as it looks like it’s exactly what my friend, Maxwell Pink, is looking for, for their writing blog.

Based upon the Sweet Blog that I’m using for my recipe collection, it appears you are one of the few theme developers that are creating themes with a readable CPL measure. Whether this is intentional or not, keep it up!

Hola: perdona que siga dando la lata, pero es que luego de tener todo montadito, me he dado cuenta de que en el IE del windows xp, la parte central del blog, (cabecera y comments) se va abajo de la sidebar. En otros no da problemas. Cómo hago para corregir eso?. Gracias. Mil, y mil más.

thanks for the reply .
it’s true that it’s using your template when you access the link of my last blog above.
but it doesn’t change if you just simply access the url of my blog, xxmonogatari.blogspot.com.
how could that be?
