I love the Super Custom and I've been using it for a while, but just today I heard that it's impossible to comment, clicking on the link does nothing but reload the page.
What's wrong and how do I fix it??

Hi Amanda!

Thanks!!!!
Adella
finally I found this blog template. Very amazing and creative, thanks to sharing every template.
i use your butterfly theme
take a look, please..
WOW . Those are wonderful templates. Thanks for the links, I downloaded a few already.
I really love your current template, especially after all the effort you put into this so far.
But then, I do know how it feels to be inspired by all the designs above. I'm almost tempted to redesign this site...
Amanda,
I'm using the Aspire 3-column template. But I can't get the "Blog Description" in the Header to display on the page underneath the Main Page Title. What's missing? (My site is http://topdogblog1.blogspot.com) By the way, your solution for the undefined date worked for me too!
Thanks, Kim
Its really a great site . I have got more template from this site. Thanks a lot to share with every one. We have a boiler installation company in UK. We are always ready to help our client.
Your list is really nice. Thanks a lot for all these great themes.

Hello! I have found the perfect template but can't seem to load it onto blogger. I was able to get the read me but it says I can't open the actual file and something about a parsed error. Please help! I am really excited to get this template up and running.

Jaime
The 'Polaroid' one is by far the most professional looking and visually appealing. I recommend that one to all my friends =P.
