    Neat template. However I found two oddities. 1. YouTube-video in a post doesn't show on homepage, but does so on it's own post page. 2. Mobile version doesn't scale right, but is too wide with gadgets still on the right and not below like in preview examples.

    1. Thank you.
      1. this template is not support auto thumbnail from youtube (video)
      2. i already checked with opera mini and everything is ok. if you check with OpMin, turn off the Single column view

      Delete
  3. 1. Would be nice if YouTube-videos were displayed exactly the same way on homepage post list and individual post page. That way you could watch the video straight on homepage post list, instead of the confusing empty space it has now.

    3. Images on individual post page could have height set on auto to keep decent proportions.

    Good work!

      1. You can make it by click Revert widget templates to default then you can use a jump-link but you need a some css tweak for mobile view

  7. Hi, this is really perfet template!! I wanted to have exactly something like this. But when I use it on blogger, the slideshow on top does not work. Can you give me an advice, what is probably wrong? Should I change something in HTML code? Or?

    1. Hi Sara..

      Setting slideshow is easy. Just go to Layot > click edit Looped Slider widget > type the Label name > Save

      For example : This post have a label name Blogger Template. So, just type Blogger Template to the widget.
      If your post doesn't have a Label name, you have give one

    7. Hi Sara..

      I saw your blog and everything is ok. The slider is works now. I set Height of slider is auto. Maybe i will update this template for the slider to make everything is ok (not auto height)

      I think you should edit the Header-wrapper width and height because your logo over into content (your logo size 920*184px)

      Go to Template > Edit HTML and find this code

      #header-inner {
      max-width:430px;
      width:100%;
      max-height:130px;
      height:100%;
      margin:0 auto;
      padding:0
      }

      Change the bold code with bigger value

    1. Hi Yuna..

      I set the height is auto but you can make a little change. Go to Template > Edit HTML and find this code below :

      .entry-thumb {
      width:100%!important;
      }

      Replace that code with this one :
      .entry-thumb {
      width:100%!important;
      max-height:300px;
      height:100%;
      }

      * you can change height value as you want

  15. Hello again :)
    ...and again thank you so much for this template! I have some another questions.

    1) Some of my posts do not look good. They are not at the main page in the right format, they are without title, without button "read more" ect. Can you help me? (www.frompapertosite.com)

    2) Can I change the button "read more"? I think about just the text "read more", not "picture".

    3) I would like to use this template on one another website, but I need there just one column. Is there a way how I can change the settings for them? I can not find where I can change the width of main column (with posts)...

    Have a nice day/night!!

  22. Hi!

    I love your template and I'm testing the updated version for my photoblog!

    Now, I've got 3 problems :

    1.MAJOR trouble "No comments" -> There is nothing that allows to comment the posts ?!?! Yes, I checked the blogger parameters

    2. What is the cleanest way to remove that last menu called "MainNavMenu" ?

    3. What can I do in order to directly open a picture with lightbox from the main page (without having to open the post...) ?

    Thank you !

    Kieran

    Replies
    1. 1. For Comment form, go to Setting > Posts and comments > setting in Comments section

      2. "MainNavMenu" ? I dont understand what the meaning of MainNavMenu

      3. If you want to use the lightbox, you must install the template without autoreadmore.

      Then, from Setting > Posts and comments > in "Showcase images with Lightbox", choose Yes
