Pixabella04 for Serendipity Released

Pixabella04 s9y

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_s9y template for Serendipity, or if you have Spartacus installed in your s9y blog I believe you will soon be able to install it automatically.
