The preview of the template is shown in the above screen shot. The link below it shows a live demo of the template. The main feature of this blog template is the sliding featured content. Infact, you can not call it a featured content. It is basically a slider that displays the latest posts in your blog. The main advantage of this widget is that it works on the RSS feed. Therefore, manual updates are not required. It automatically updates the content. You have space for a brief note about your post and a space for your post image.

Apart from the above feature, it includes a mini post section wherein you can have a small snippet of your blog post. It includes two more text widgets below it for extra information which you like to share with your readers. The sidebar initially appears as a single block. It splits into two at the latter part providing you enough space to accommodate any widget with a variety in dimensions. Above all, it includes a four column footer too. So, you have enough space for displaying the widgets of your choice.

The template carries a sliding featured content widget along with the social bookmarking icons (Twitter, Facebook and RSS) on top of all the widgets. This combination of featured content with the social bookmarking stuff serves as an excellent layout. Moreover, we have tabs below and above the header(banner) which gives blogger their space to post labels, links to homepage , contact me, about me and other craps...

Apart from the post area, you can add widgets to the sidebar which are properly spaced between the header and footer. Another important feature of this template is the three column footer section. This feature adds the spice of professional blogs. You may find a three column footer in my blog too. Initially my blog never had this feature and lacked the pro touch, once I installed this stuff, it gave my blog more reputation than what it had.

Moreover, it is very important that you place proper widgets in the footer and make the best use of this space. I highly recommend this blogger template to all those people who wish to give their blog a professional look. You may share your ideas about this template as comments!!! For any help regarding template installation or bugs with this template, please report to me and I will find a possible solution!! So what are you waiting for??? Give it a try!! Nothing to lose!!

Although the coding was actually done by Dynamic Drive in the name "Always On Top Message", I would like to help the newbies install this simple hack on their blog to display any message of their choice. Take a look at the following picture for better understanding.

Few suggestions for the messages that could be posted in the space are links that will ask the visitors to link to your blog(already installed in the script) or ask the visitors to subscribe for your blog or a simple welcome note.

3. Open the file with a simple word pad. Now, edit the various options which are clearly explained in the comments. Any message can be included other than the "Link To Us" which is installed by default on the script.
(Note: Please do change the URL saying "YOURBLOGNAME.blogspot.com" with your blog URL for the default case on the script.)
4. Once you make the changes in the file, save it and upload it to a free hosting site. I use Google Sites. You may try the same or may be Fileave.
