Guys, Here is My one week !! I present you the ”DON ELEGANT” Blogger template.
A mind blowing, Impressive and jaw dropping stylish 2 column magazine template for blogger. It has a unique style and eye catching attractive design, that makes your readers return and love your website. I have made many websites and themes as reference for the creation of this template and spent many days.
I created a framework theme (As it would be useful for the future works) and then started modifying it till my heart was satisfied – And wasted about the last whole week for this one ( You know, I’m not a pro ! ). I have made it much unique and stylish and had tried my best to use all the possible effects and techniques in this theme. But still as many of the browsers doesn’t support css3 features and all, I have minimised the effects and beautification to an extend. Above all, What I cared most was the look and elegance of the theme – I think I had done justice to that one !
I have added many hover effects, round corners etc which is much popular nowadays. I also wanted to add some more css3 effects but postponed it for my future templates. Rather than just beautifying the sidebars and headers, This time I spent much time on selecting appropriate color combinations and making the post area most attractive and elegant.

INSTALLATION GUIDE
Most of all the functions in the theme will automatically grab the values ( home, feeds etc) but you have to manually edit the codes for Menus, ads, adsense etc. I’ll guide you on how to do it.
I hope you all knows the basic procedures like how to go to edit HTML and edit the source code. Make sure you check the ‘Expand widget template’ box.
1) Top level Menus ;-
One of the most attractive features of the theme. They are made with Lobster font and have a nice hover expression. You can easily change the links in this menu. The code for this is ;-
