hey! i love this template for my blog. it somehow connects with the content of my blog. can you tell me how to use this? i mean to install this in my blog? im begging. lol
August 10th, 2009 at 12:22 pm
The date says undefined. How do I fix it?
August 11th, 2009 at 8:56 am
Hi Lehua,
The template is working fine, follow the instructions below.
After login, go to Layout > Page Elements > edit Blog Posts > change time format to long date (e.g Wednesday, June 17, 2009). Remember, change time format NOT date format.
It would be the 3rd field.
August 16th, 2009 at 4:03 pm
This template is awesome! It has just enough flair to suit my needs. And thanks a million for explaining the date change, I had the same problem. Thanks!
August 16th, 2009 at 5:01 pm
Yea, its awesome indeed! Love this template too!
August 19th, 2009 at 7:31 am
It still dosen’t work and i don’t know why…
August 30th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
I don’t know how to useit.Please give me instruction. I want to know
August 30th, 2009 at 2:22 pm
hi dear admin,
please ,I like it .I awant to set up with my domain name
August 30th, 2009 at 3:15 pm
Hi George,
In blogger under ‘Edit HTML’ -> Layout upload the .xml file and you are set to go. What other instructions do you need?
September 2nd, 2009 at 2:59 pm
Hi Admin,
I am having problem with the date in the upper left side.
it displays undefined. some help please.
September 2nd, 2009 at 3:33 pm
Hi Kale,
This problem has already been discussed on this page on the 3rd comment. Kindly refer to it
Cheers
September 14th, 2009 at 1:51 am
I cannot post a comment on the blog in this template. Also the ‘undefined’ in upper left of template is mildly annoying. Please fix it.
September 14th, 2009 at 5:30 am
Hi Admin,
I fixed both the problems. You may ignore my queries. Thanks a lot for this template it is awesome
September 19th, 2009 at 6:48 am
Hi, love the temp but I’m having trouble posting my blog description under the title. I’ve tried just typing stuff in and importing a picture with the text I want but still won’t show up just the title. I’m at a loss on what to do next. Your help would be great. Thanks!
September 19th, 2009 at 12:34 pm
Hi Bethany,
I am not sure if this is possible but you might want to try this:
Go to Layout -> ‘Edit HTML’ and do a CTRL + F search for this:
class=”widget Header” id=”Header1″
Below that line of code you can see a a href code in H1 tag that links back to your blog. At the end of it you can see the closing tags of the /a tag and the /h1 tag. Add a line break tag after it, br.
Now try this:
/a /h1 br
Enter your blog description or blog slogan here.
(please add the <> at the start and end of each tag, I can’t write it exactly as it is because this is HTML tag and the comment system doesnt allow it.)
That should work I hope. Let me know if you still face any problems.
September 19th, 2009 at 2:13 pm
Hummm. When I type in the
class=”widget Header” id=”Header1″
it says it can’t be found. I tried reinstalling the temp a few times and no change. I even switched browsers since I know Opera can sometimes mess things up. Any other advice?
Thanks for the quick response btw.
September 19th, 2009 at 3:04 pm
Hi Bethany,
Can you enter your blog url as the website in the website box so I can take a look on your site and see what’s wrong, thanks!
September 20th, 2009 at 7:27 am
Sure. Thanks for the help!
September 20th, 2009 at 11:20 am
Hi Bethany,
I have looked through the theme again, I am afraid this theme has some minor bug in it that does not show up the description. I will have to speak to my coder if he can fix it. I will update this post again by commenting here when this is fixed. Sorry about it.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:31 pm
I can not use the embedded posts on this template. Very annoying! Is there a way around this?
September 27th, 2009 at 3:37 pm
Joshua, do you mean embedded videos when you say embedded posts?
October 4th, 2009 at 12:59 pm
when I try to drag and drop to rearrange my blog it wont stay in place?
October 11th, 2009 at 10:59 pm
Hello,
I have a small problem. I cannot post comments using this template. How can I fix the problem?
Thank you very much!
October 12th, 2009 at 11:01 am
All of the beautiful paper scrolls and the flourishes looked great for a few days but now they’re gone.
Can you help?
October 12th, 2009 at 11:03 am
Hi,
We are currently upgrading our servers that are hosting the images with new hardware. Please bear with us for a few more hours and the server will be up along with the images. Thank you.
October 13th, 2009 at 6:48 pm
Thanks for your beautiful themes! Keep it up!
October 20th, 2009 at 5:14 pm
I really love this template but have a little problem with it. I’m not able to post comments. How can I fix this ?
rgds,
Patricia
October 22nd, 2009 at 12:57 am
Hi Patricia, unfortunately this theme only works if you have a login id or something so you can post comments, you cant post comments anonymously.
October 30th, 2009 at 3:53 pm
how can i put this lay out to my blog
i mean i did not know how to download this template
pls help me
October 30th, 2009 at 4:30 pm
After you have downloaded it from here, use winrar or 7zip to unzip the file and inside the folder you can see a file called Aspire.xml. Go to blogger -> Layout -> Edit HTML and upload Aspire.xml and you are good to go.
November 5th, 2009 at 3:48 pm
Hi Admin:
Where did my beatiful template go ? Has it something to do with upgrading the servers or do I have to download the template again ?
rgds,
Patricia
November 5th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
Hi Patricia,
Please wait for about 1-2 more hours as we are currently upgrading our servers with new hardware. The images on your template will appear again soon. Thank you for your kind understanding and patience.
Admin
November 17th, 2009 at 7:17 pm
Hey Admin,
Thanks for the great template. I’m a newbie to this but you guys made it really simple.
Now, a newbie question, i’m sure but I can’t see options for “New Post” or any of the other stuff up top. Any way I can fix this? Please let me know.
Thanks again.

Hi Srikant,
You have to go to your blogger.com dashboard to make a new post.
November 18th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
Hey James,
Thanks for the quick reply. I figured that much out but I was wondering if we could have those links back on our Blog page as opposed to having to go back to the dashboard.
Thanks,
S
November 18th, 2009 at 3:47 pm
Hi Srikant,
I am afraid not as this template was converted from wordpress to blogger and wordpress was not built like this. I think only the default themes provided by blogger can do this, all other custom themes do not have this I believe.
James
December 6th, 2009 at 6:43 am
I really love this template and its look. I have gotten everything I want to work except the comments feature. I have switched around my own settings but whenever I or someone else presses “Post Comment” nothing happens nor does a work edit box pop up.
I can’t even manage this with someone with a Google account signed in. Do you know how to fix this? I would really appreciate a prompt reply because I have been posting a lot lately. Thanks in advance.
December 6th, 2009 at 6:52 am
Actually, sorry, I got it to work. Enabling “Pop up window” instead seems to do the trick.
December 6th, 2009 at 11:08 am
Hi Zachary, how do you enable the Pop-up window?
December 10th, 2009 at 10:25 am
hi admin,
how can i post the comments as it is not working……
December 18th, 2009 at 12:23 am
Hi,Thanks for that great template.
I have two issues.
One header description could not be posted,based on some discussion above,I guess this is NOT resolved yet,pl correct me i I am wrong.
Secondly,The blog post header is not working as hyper link,means I could not ‘Click’ a post header to do to that particular post page.Any clue to rectify this?
Kindly trigger the email with the solution.
Thanks in advance.
December 18th, 2009 at 12:12 pm
Hi Arivans,
Sorry was very busy, ok I will try right now to get the template fixed and re-uploaded, will update this page once its done.
December 18th, 2009 at 7:01 pm
Hi Arivans,
Our coder has fixed the issue and have re-uploaded the template. The header post can now be clicked and the comments are now fixed. Kindly redownload.
January 1st, 2010 at 10:24 pm
actually it’s not fixed.
header post can still not be clicked, comments don’t work and there is not a read more button.
too bad cause this could be an excellent blog layout.
January 20th, 2010 at 5:32 pm
Hi Admin,
as per questioned by others on top, why the comments doesn’t work?
what can we do to fix it?
January 22nd, 2010 at 4:18 pm
Hi Nina,
Try this (posted by a blogger alewan on another template)
In Blogger Settings go to Comments and there are three options for “Comment Form Placement”: Full page, Pop-up window and Embedded below post. All you need to do is select Full page.
January 27th, 2010 at 1:27 pm
Hi, I enabled the pop-up window for comments and that works fine. Is there a way to add a list of blogs in the sidebar? Love this template!
January 27th, 2010 at 11:05 pm
Sorry, part 2 of that message…on the sidebar, the first box is “Archives” and the third box is “Blog Archives”, they both show exactly the same thing. I want to use the third box as a list of blogs that I follow. Thanks.
January 31st, 2010 at 8:48 pm
Colors of the past; very nice..
February 2nd, 2010 at 8:32 pm
Hi Donna,
You can edit that by going to Layout tab and edit the gadget for that box you want to show a list of blogs that you follow.
February 26th, 2010 at 1:27 am
Was there ever a final fix for the blog description not showing up under the blog title? Thanks!
March 9th, 2010 at 10:43 pm
its too good. i love it. thanks to develepor and the publisher.
March 18th, 2010 at 6:00 am
I have Blog Archive wizard which is not displaying properly.
The little arrows to expand on months appear in separate lines
March 29th, 2010 at 2:23 pm
The background images are not coming up any longer, not even on the live demo.
March 30th, 2010 at 9:03 pm
dear…
i’ve downloaded this template. but i don’t know where i can see the code to edit my HTML.
i also have entered my URL in your column.
please give me instruction!!!
i do love this template.
thank’s
March 30th, 2010 at 9:23 pm
Hi Hilda,
This blogger template only works with Bloggers New XML platform, it does not work for the old Classic HTML blogger. Which are you using?
April 3rd, 2010 at 8:17 pm
Hello,
I have scoured the net and I cannot find a solution for my missing blog description in the Aspire template that I downloaded. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
April 3rd, 2010 at 10:14 pm
Hi Matuz,
This template does not display your blog’s description. It is the downside of this template.
April 6th, 2010 at 7:50 pm
hi there, thanks for the awesome job and I really love this template. However, the bullets for the blog archive on the right column are pretty off. I’ve tried changing the date formats, but its still not working. Is there any solution?
thanks!
May 14th, 2010 at 4:20 am
The “Post Comment”/”Post a Comment” link wasn’t working for me but this template uses pop-up windows ONLY to show/modify comments. In your blog settings go to Settings->Comments->Comment Form Placement and set to “Pop-Up Window”
May 18th, 2010 at 2:36 am
thanks dude
its good
but in this i want to create tabs on the page
how to create these tabs
May 24th, 2010 at 1:36 pm
Hi,
I downloaded this template to my moms blog and she decided not to use it. It has now completely messed up her blog to the point that she could not get comments and it says undefined at the top of ever blog post. We had to revert to the original template and now we can not add any of my moms side bar stuff. She can not see her followers and her header picture and she can not link to our website. We have tried to add the gadgets back on and ever time we do it reverts to the way it was and we can not receive comments or gain new followers. I know that this is not your fault but could someone smarter then me help us fix it? I would really appreciate it. I am more then a little stressed.
Thank you.
May 25th, 2010 at 12:29 am
Hi Chantal,
Can you put your mom’s blog url on the website field in comments so I can view it and see what went wrong?
Also when you say revert back to the original template, does it mean you reuploaded the old .xml template file?
June 17th, 2010 at 12:59 am
I cannot paste the google analyzer html code correctly. Every time I get an error message once I try to save. I should paste the first part right after the [/html] tag but I cannot find it. Can anybody help? Where exactely shall I paste the first part of the Google Analytics html code in the Aspire template?
July 6th, 2010 at 8:21 am
Hi,
I was just wondering if there was ever a fix for blog description. I see where someone else was looking for a fix but I didn’t see any sort of follow up on whether it was fixed or not.
Thanks!!! Great template!
November 5th, 2010 at 11:53 am
Hi, I love his template and have even using it for two years, no problem.. However, people are starting to email me saying that they are getting a malware warning when they try to get onto my blog. Everyone who gets the message is using google chrome. A tech friend of mine says the problem is in the header of the template. Do I have to change templates or can you do something from your end?
November 16th, 2010 at 6:19 pm
Hi Admin,
I really like this template and am using it for one of my blogs. Since some time now its giving a malware warning when someone tries to open it in Google Chrome browser. I looked into the issue and found the problem is with the site hosting images for this blog template i.e. webpagedesign dot ws which is listed as suspicious by Google. Is there anything that could be done to fix the problem coz I really don’t want to change the template.
Any help would be heartily appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation.
November 16th, 2010 at 6:29 pm
Hi Richa,
Have you originally downloaded this template from here or from other sites? Because the site that is hosting all template images is templatesimages dot com belongs to us and we checked there is no malware. None of our templates images are hosted by webpagedesign dot ws. In fact you can click on the live demo of this site and if you view source you would find there webpagedesign dot ws is not showing up anywhere at all in the source code which would mean the template itself and images being hosted for this template are malware-free.
You may want to try re-download this template again from here and upload to your blog. On the other hand, someone might have access to your account and added in the malware link. If that is the case, look for the blog post that has the malware link, go to that page and remove it, and most importantly change your password. Of cause, do a virus scan on your computer as well.
Hope that helps!
November 16th, 2010 at 7:01 pm
Hi Admin,
Thanks for such a quick response
To tell you the truth I really don’t remember where I downloaded the template from. But I am surely going to re-download it from here now and upload it to my blog.
I am sure that would help.
Thanks again !
November 16th, 2010 at 7:43 pm
Richa,
Yes that would solve the problem I believe, all our template images are very safe from malware
Cheers
November 17th, 2010 at 2:18 am
Hi Admin,
That did solve the problem… Thanks a ton !!!
The blog is looking perfect now except for one small issue. There used to be a box like comment wrapper around each comment on the comment form earlier which is missing now. All the comments are displayed one after the other without any demarcation line in between.
I guess the comment wrapper images are missing.
Could you please suggest a fix for this. Thanks !
December 24th, 2010 at 1:39 am
cool i love these, good work! amazing amazing i love this, good work!
December 26th, 2010 at 11:42 pm
Hello admin , Thanks for the template.its truly fantastic.
I cannot however add more labels from my widget. Is there any fix to this ? Urgent please
December 26th, 2010 at 11:43 pm
By labels , i mean add more options in the categories box
January 1st, 2011 at 12:38 pm
We really like this template and are using for our family blog.
The three open issues I still see are:
= The blog header description is missing.
= The archive bullets are off.
= The most recent post does not show a hyperlink to it.
Thanks!
January 14th, 2011 at 6:41 am
Hi Admin!
Thanks so much for the really cool resource! I have one thing I’m wanting to add though and I’m not good at html, so looking for advice. I would like to add a slightly darker background to the blockquote text (I do a lot of direct quoting on my blog). A friend of mine has a template that has this feature built in. I’m just wanting it to “pop” a little more with the blockquotes.
Could you tell me what and where I need to insert into the code to accomplish this?
Thanks so much!
January 20th, 2011 at 11:20 am
hi admin..i really live this template..i’ve tried change the date and time but it not working..is there any solution??

Hi Sayang Fela,
After login, go to Layout > Page Elements > edit Blog Posts > change time format to long date (e.g Wednesday, June 17, 2009). Remember, change time format NOT date format.
It would be the 3rd field.
January 27th, 2011 at 8:39 pm
How do i change the fonts to my preference
January 30th, 2011 at 4:28 pm
Just wondering… is there something wrong with the image host or anything? ‘coz all I can see on my blog now is just a beige background and text, no other images or borders, etc… please fix this issue
thanks for the awesome template!
February 8th, 2011 at 11:08 pm
I like the precious data you offer in your articles. I can bookmark your weblog and feature my youngsters take a look at up right here generally. I am fairly positive they’re going to be informed a variety of new stuff here than anybody else!
March 20th, 2011 at 4:35 am
after I use this template, why can not be commented on his article? please its support
March 27th, 2011 at 12:48 pm
Hi,
I really love this template but for some reason the page break / read more does not show/work? I am not very good in html edits so appreciate your help on this. Also, how do I show older posts link with thumbnails below my posts? Thanks in advance for your help!
Lucky
April 7th, 2011 at 3:12 pm
Thank you, Admin
That “After login, go to Layout > Page Elements > edit Blog Posts > change time format to long date (e.g Wednesday, June 17, 2009). Remember, change time format NOT date format.” worked for me, althought in Blogger.com menu is different.
April 15th, 2011 at 12:30 pm
Hi Shining people!
Absolutely adore this theme! Need some assistance here…
How can I make those sharing icon buttons visible on post?
When I go to design, postage options, there’s a lot of options there other than the sharing buttons, such as ‘send this via email’ button, there’s even a reaction button. Despite them being ticked and showing as active, they don’t appear o the page…
Can you shed some light?
Cheers ; )
Giselle
July 27th, 2011 at 5:31 pm
Hi Giselle,
You gotta add a Gadget. The gadget allows people to share your post on their facebook and twitter. You have got ” ADD A GADGET” on your design page. Hope this helps.

Can not get the “undefined” in the left side of the page. I’ve tried to disable the date format but to no avail. Please help me!
October 23rd, 2011 at 2:52 am
Hi admin
I like this template very much but I meet some difficulties. I am also new to blogging. Is it possible if you could tell me how to solve them?
1. There are no pages on the blog but it says that I had added it.
2. The date and time are undefined when I tried them in different formats.
3. I did placed some blog page posting options but they did not appear? Is it because someone must comment on the blog post first? e.g. shared buttons
4. The location of my blog post shows New York however I am from Singapore? Is there something wrong it?
I apologise for the sudden onslaught of questions but I am not computer smart.
Please help me out. Thank you
October 26th, 2011 at 4:18 am
