Ultime Notizie Template

I enjoyed making Ultime Notizie, my latest Blogger template design, and I am very happy with how it turned out.

I added some special features to this template, including not one but two optional and customizable linkbars, one of which featuring a no-flicker all CSS image rollover. And also the super fancy blockquotes with a drop cap.

As usual, the fonts and colors of the template may be customized using the Blogger Dashboard's "Template Designer," within the "Advanced," subcategory should you like to add a little pink to the template, or any other color for that matter!

However, users who have access to an image host are advised to download the images and upload them to their own server, as the bandwidth could potentially be exceeded in the future. Download the images from here.

REDISTRIBUTING & SHARING

If you are going to redistribute the template, you are not permitted to add your own links to the template.
In addition, it is asked that you do not link directly to my files for the download, nor upload them to your own servers for download. Instead you must link back to my own page for the template, or simply to the index of this website, http://www.nymfont.com

This is non-negotiable. If you want to share or redistribute my templates, this is how it must be done. If you don't want to abide these terms, then you don't want to share or redistribute my templates.

Customizing Linkbars

The top linkbar is labled "Linkbar2" and can be easily customized to include your own links via the "Page Elements" subcategory of the Design tab within the Blogger Dashboard.

The main linkbar (labled simply 'Linkbar') featuring the no-flick all CSS image rollover can be modified the same way. If you do not want to use either linkbar, simply leave the widget empty.

Using Fancy Blockquotes

The blockquotes have been styled to include a drop-cap for the first letter as well as small capitals for the first line. To use this fancy blockquote style, simply add a

<p>

at the beggining of your blockquote, at the end place

</p>

So the completed HTML for a blockquote would look like this:



<blockquote>



<p>



Your blockquote content here



</p>



</blockquote>

Blockquotes will display normally without this, it is not required, just an option.

Additional Details

If you do have access to your own image host, you might want to host the images at your own server. To do so download the images here and replace image URL's in the code with the corresponding URL's at your server.
