Love the new template!!! Just one tech question… the first post on every page of my blog has a hug gap from the end of it to the footers of each post. How do I get rid of that?

Oh, me encantó este nuevo diseño, me gusta la idea de ocupar la pantalla completa.
Es muy probable que cambie pronto de diseño, quizá copie la idea de la disposición de los elementos.
Un besote, espero que estés bien bien.
Ah, y te envié un mail, no sé si te llegó. Espero que si.

Hola, Gisele! No se si te acordarás de mi (era ayudante de dibujo con Caro). La verdad es que encontré tu sitio hace dos días y me enamoré de lo que hacés. No sabía que había todo un mundo de cosas lindas en internet. Si lo hubiera sabido antes… a mi me encanta estas cositas! Me gustaría tomar contacto con vos. Saludos, y mucha suerte con las ventas!!!

Hi, I chance upon your site and I love your designs! Unfortunately, some of those pretty designs are for wordpress, and I’m using blogger. So, hoped to see more of your blogger design as well. Keep up the wonderful work and thanks for keeping these free! ^_^

Please, please figure out why it is impossible to add page elements when this is downloaded. It looks like I’m not the only one with this problem. Thanks

Hiya thank u for this skin! i really love it and am using it for my blog

I was wondering if there’s something wrong with the html coding though.. links dont appear in the newest post (ie, your mouse icon doesnt change when it rolls over the link), but are all fine when it’s not the very latest post..

also, the paragraph function doesnt work either.. in the compose message box, the text appears indented, but doesnt turn out this way on the blog.

i’m not sure if it’s the problem with my internet explorer, or if others have experienced this too? sorry for the trouble!

dear Gis,
i can not use the XML - news from the sky, it has some erorr like this: “The element type “HEAD” must be terminated by the matching end-tag “”.and can not be used. Please check it and edit for us. Thank you so much, the template was so great
