Pixabella

I'm very excited that Yellowled aka Matthias from Serendipity has ported my pixabella04 template to this great blog engine, the same engine that I'm using on this website so I know it works well.

Pixabella04 is a new template that I held back on releasing because I wanted to make it as good as I possibly could so it's even more gratifying to see how well the s9y version turned out. Matthias told me it was almost as if this template had been specially made ready for porting to the Serendipity blog CMS. That's a really nice complement.

The Serendipity version includes all three layout styles and also both colorsets, the green and blue, so it should appeal to more users than just a regular three column template.

You can download the pixabella04 template for Serendipity, or if you have Spartacus installed in your s9y blog I believe you will soon be able to install it automatically.

I've produced a few sets of navbar images for free download dark, light, frosty, and original. In this tutorial I'm going to explain how to use them in your own site design.

This screenshot is taken directly from one of my free html templates. The HTML to create this is a basic list of links but without the CSS it looks quite boring, just a link, then a new line and another link and so on, however, once the CSS is added, you get an attractive navbar.

This is my last set of gradient navbar images, I'm not sure how popular these have been since nobody has commented but since they took me a few minutes to produce it seemed like an easy thing to make them available for free download.

Anyway, hope you like them, download the dark navbar zipfile. Read my tutorial on how to use these images.

I've been working on this template for a while but just wasn't happy with the result until now. It's a green and black template, 3 columns, with four different layouts including a blog layout. Pixabella04 is released under a Creative Commons license.

All of the images are PNG's so they have a nice crisp feel to them, and because IE6 doesn't like PNG's I also included a separate stylesheet for it. View the template at OpenDesigns or download the zipfile.
