8 "Magical" 3 Column Template now available (inspired by Harry Potter!)
Tuesday, 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

  • Optional widgets to complement the design

  • Label cloud designed to suit the theme

  • Post dividers

  • "Drop Caps" span style for the first letter of each paragraph


The optional widgets include:

  • Magical Mirror Images: this inserts a different animated image each time you reload the page. Watch out for "Moody's mad eye..."

  • Magical Thoughts: features a different magical quote each time you reload the page.

  • Magical Clock: features a different image depending on the time of day, from a sun at midday to a moon at midnight (and increments each hour between).


All of these widgets are included in the download package as widget templates. Alternatively you can use the widget installers found on the Magical Template demonstration blog.

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! And if you're feeling particularly generous, a PayPal donation for the site is always appreciated, no matter how small! (see left sidebar for details)

Corrected the bx-errors as stated above with wordpad and correctly loaded into edit html..

But the below would have been lost if I saved.
