Pixabella

This is the third in the set of colorful gradient navbar images (Download Zipfile), all of which have been designed to work with my Pixabella05 template.

Adding these to your website is very simple if you already have a navbar, and if you don't, then simply copy the code from Pixabella05. If you don't know much about HTML and CSS, make sure you also read creating a simple HTML webpage that I wrote for beginners. This is the exact HTML code needed. Read my tutorial on how to use these images.

<div id="navigation">
<div id="navbar_link">
<ul>
<li class="currentpage"><a href='#'>Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#">About Me</a></li>
<li><a href="#">My Flickr</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Contact Me</a></li>
</ul>

I was looking through my Google listings the other day and came across free hosting company that allows users to create a website or blog and select a template for their site, and one of my templates, Pixabella02, is one of the templates they've customised for their users - woohoo!

I set up a quick test site at xTendBlog to try out their hosting and setup a demo account. The only problem with their hosting that I can see is everything is in French, but I guess if you speak French...

For those of us who don't speak French, or only enough to ask for a room in a hotel, here's the xTendBlog homepage translated into English by Google.

Navbar images are something friends and family always ask me for and rather than just do one off images I thought I'd continue the set I started with my first navbar images zipfile. This new set is frosty.

To use these in your website, just copy the HTML and the CSS from the pixabella05 free HTML template. Over the next few days I'm going to add another couple of navbar sets. I hope you like these. Read my tutorial on how to use these images.

After the success of my latest free HTML template, which I released as Pixabella05 on OpenDesigns, but which Carl has named Hawaii for his Blogger Templates, I've decided to update the template with a blue colorset.

I really love the blue version, even though it's the same template it somehow looks very different. The navbar, header image and search box have been changed, and I also removed the page background image and used CSS to style this instead. Download the updated Pixabella05.

I'd love to see how people use this template so please leave a comment if you like it, and thanks to everyone who supports my templates.

After the success of my Pixabella05 Free HTML template which is called Hawaii in the Blogger template version, I decided to produce a few extra Navbar images so that users can change the color of the navbar when they customise this template. These were created in Inkscape.

Each image in the zipfile is named nav_color, so whichever version you want to use just needs to be renamed nav.png and it will work straight away within the template, provided you've copied it into the 'img' folder within the template. Of course you might want to change some of the other colors in the template as well.

I'd love to keep updating this template with other header images as well, and over the next few days I'll try to work out some color combinations that go well with these new Navbar images so that links etc look complete. Feel free to download the Navbar images zipfile. Read my tutorial on how to use these images.

Pixabella05 is a free 3 column HTML template, and comes with two layouts, the traditional sidebar-content-sidebar, and the popular content-sidebar-sidebar layout. This template is valid XHMTL transitional and is released under a Creative Commons Attribute 2.5 license.

The images were all created using Inkscape, which is quickly becoming my favourite drawing program, and which seems like it will one day be a very successful free alternative to commercial drawing software. The original site layout was sliced within Inkscape and the HTML built around the exported images. Download Pixabella05 free HTML template.
