Mosaicus - Ultimate Blogger Template (Updated)



Hello everybody! Today I bring you Mosaicus, it is really a ultimate Blogger template like you have never seen before! Last week I fell in love for this template, I thought it was an awesome design, So I decided to get inspiration from it, giving my own touches to create my new template.



I got many great feedback regarding to Photoplus, I thank you all for that! The good news is that Mosaicus is like a "upgrade" for Photoplus, I took note of almost all recommendations you guys gave me, and added some new features to it, including a white and minimalistic design.

This template has a premium jQuery feature called FullSize to show up a bigger version of each photo.

Now you can show your photography, images or whatever you want even better, I have added post pages, so you can write descriptions of your work! The Fullsize feature goes on the post image, not on the main page thumbnail.

How to post on Mosaicus


Your posts on Mosaicus shouldn't be only an image tag, now you have to include a thumbnail of each image. For better understanding, look at the following post model:

Here's the post model:

<span class='thumbnail'><img src='THUMBNAIL_URL'/></span>

<img longdesc="FULLSIZE_IMAGE_URL" src="POST_IMAGE_URL" />

Note: The thumbnail size should be 229x158 pixels.

I recommend you guys to save it as post model, it will make your life easier.

Features:
  • Minimalistic
  • White, Clean
  • jQuery Premium Features
  • Easy to customize
  • Gallery Style
  • Ultimate Blogger Template

NOTE: I JUST FIXED THE LINKS ON IE, IT'S NOW WORKING FINE ON ALL BROWSERS, PLASE DOWNLOAD THE TEMPLATE FILE AGAIN.

Great job again Dante! I am wondering if it is possible to implement the image clicking to the showcase template ... if it is possible that is.

Dante Araújo

It is possible, But that would be hard to explain on a simple comment. If you want, please email me using my contact form and I will try to help you :)

james

great job but this would look great with the titles over the pictures like the showcase template. Is that possible or hard to implement?

Dante Araújo

(Almost) Everything is possible on Blogger :) but that was not the idea for this template :)

Lin

Very good design, but can not work in IE8.

saiko-raito

Hi Dante.. i've a problem installing this template on my blog..
the sidebar is not in the "right side", but its appear on below of the post...
can you help me..?

Ben

Amazing template again, well done!!!

Unknown

Once again you have blown me away with yet another AWESOME template! However, whilst I love this gallery style I am more of a blogger than a photographer. Therefore would it be possible to make it so that it works just like your Showcase templates ie. when you click on a photo it goes directly to the post, rather than just enlarge the photo? On this template it seems that the only way people can read the posts is if they click on the blog archives tabs.

Once again, awesome job! Best regards, Anthony

Dante Araújo

@Lin, I just fixed it, plase download the template file again.

@saiko-raito, As you can see the live demo is working fine, so you must have done something wrong when trying to customize the template. Please send me a link with the problem so i can try to help you.

@ajdpadbury, I am sorry I didnt understand your comment, In this template, when you click the picture thumbnail, It goes directly to the post page, please check the live demo again.

Unknown

It does on your live demo but not when I downloaded it to my test blog, it performed in the same way as Photoplus. I will try again, thanks for your reply!

Did you post exactly as I said on the post above? Did you include the thumbnail and the post image?

ajdpadbury

I only posted the post image, that is where I was going wrong then, thanks!

saiko-raito

i just found what coz my problem,
it coz i was set my browser to "zoom-out view"
when i change it to "normal view" it works fine.
now i can use this template on my blog..
Thanks for this great template....

The gallery layout is quite attractive, but won't work for my blog. Regardless, this is a great layout.

ajdpadbury

Do you have any plans to make a videoblog template? I know there are many for Wordpress but we all prefer Blogger! A template where people that have YouTube or Vimeo accounts can embed all of their videos as posts and the thumbnails appear in a gallery? I know that would be popular for many!

Dante Araújo

Yes! I was thinking the other day, a video blog template would be really nice!

Hi, I LOVE this theme! Thanks for sharing it. I'm an artist and I want to use it to show my paintings ans I'm also a newbie at blogger. I would like to know why when I click on the contact and about tab nothing happen? Should it be linked to something? Also, do you have a dark version of this theme?

Thank you for answering :)

I have to upload somewhere 3 different sizes of the same pic?

Fauve

Me again... I'm trying hard to understand wich html or direct code should i use of my pic on photobucket? Cuz it doesn't work! When i paste the code for thumbnail it gives me a message error or it send me on photobucket site arrrghhh! HELP.

Dante Araújo

@Anonymous, Those links should be edited by you on the HTML code to link your contact and about posts on your blog. And by the way, thanks for the kind words!

@Anonymous, Yes, you should have a thumbnail, a Post Image, and A bigger version of it!

@Fauve, you need to get the DIRECT LINK from photobucket and past it inside the "img src='...'" tag!

陈国伟

Hi, Nice showcase template I've seen so far.

But I faced a problem when using it. My home page is only showing 7 thumbnails but NOT 9 thumbnails? The rest of the posts are placed in "Older Posts".

Can you advise my on how to fix this problem?

Many thanks. :)

toro elmar

cool template love it so much!

Dante Araújo

@Theme Today, Thanks a lot for the featuring!

@陈国伟, Go to your blog settings on your bogger dashboard and you should be able to set how many posts to be shown on the main page, set a multiple of 3 for nicely aligment.

Beauty in Paper

Olá, Dante!
Antes de tudo, os meus parabéns por este layout!
Gostei tanto dele que o vou usar no meu blog pois parece-me ser o ideal para apresentar os meus trabalhos em origami.
Tenho uma dúvida: tu dizes que o devemos respeitar tamanho indicado para thumbnail. A questão é que eu quero alterar (quero torná-los quadrados maiores) e não estou a ver onde posso fazê-lo.
Se me puderes ajudar, aqui fica, desde já, o meu agradecimento.

Continuação de um excelente trabalho e muito sucesso!

B!P

Vic

Love it!! A big (and silly i´m sure) question... if i want to add a description to be linked in "about" it should be inside the blog as an entry?? i mean... how do i make it only accessible from "about"??
sorry... thank you again!!

Dante Araújo

@Vic,

The "About" should be a post on your blog, but make sure you set it to a past date (so it doesnt show on the main page) and disable comments.

Efe

Very Nice!

Thanx.!

Larry Watson

Nice template, I had problems with the post picture not aligning? I figured it out, so I thought I'd share.

You need three images

THUMBNAIL_URL = 229x158 pixels
POST_IMAGE_URL = 470xanything
FULLSIZE_IMAGE_URL = any size

The Yardshark

Dante, this is very nice.

Question - what if we want to see/use the Blogger bar at the top that we usually get there?

And - links in posts are not shown by an underline or different color - they are the same as the text so they are not very findable. I assume I can mess with the HTML myself, but you might want to change that?

Thanks!

Dante Araújo

@Larry Watson, Thank's for sharing your solution Larry, That's what I always dreamed for my blog, to turn it a comunity of users!

@The Yardshark, Thanks for the problem report, I will work on that a soon as I have time!

azzad

Hola Dante,

Just so you know, your download link does not work today. Is it me, or are you updating it? I'm a teacher and I wish to use your template for a non-profit education blog. Will keep you posted!

Dante Araújo

Hi, I just tried the download link here and it's working fine, plase try again :)

azzad

Hi again,

The problem was perhaps with Safari. Firefox works fine.

Here it is http://progressivelessonplan.blogspot.com/ but I have encountered some small problems.

1. If you go to my homepage and put the cursor on the "dancer" thumbnail, the option to enlarge the thumbnail doesn't appear. What did I do wrong?

2. The Yardshark has pointed out a good problem too. How do we make them appear in different color? So far I change the link color manually. Any better solution?

3. Where do we go and how do we create a page for the About, Contact tabs? Can we also add on more tabs?

I'm new to this, your help is very much appreciate. Thank you!

azzad

oh, sorry for missing Vic's comment. I will link About to other past entries. But my other silly questions are legit I hope. :)

Great Template Dude!
But i have one Question:
In the Demo, there is a Page numbered Navigation under the Images.
In the Template I've downloaded from here, there is no one :(
Do i have to change something in the Blog-Settings?
Everything else works fine :)

Effa

Aqui é o Maicom do www.meuadesivo.blogspot.com, lembra de mim? Como vai meu brother? Adorei essa template Mosaicus!! O detalhe é que eu precisava diminuir essas imagens thumb para fazer 4 por linha, é muito difícil ou complicado para fazer isso?
Outra coisa, eu queria colocar outra sidebar do lado esquerdo dessa template. Preciso mesmo da sua ajuda, obrigado.

Effa, i'm hoping for the potrait size thumbnail view too..at the moment i'm using it for children's wear. i hope dante comes up with the potrait size when i'm selling adult's clothes.

thanks Dante...you make our online shop dream comes true.

Admirable. excellent work
Happy New Year 2010!!

Boas,
A primeira pagina é uma fotogaleria, mas assim que clicamos numa imagem, ele passa para um blog normal. Se tivesses colocado, a pagina do post como a pagina inicial, sem nunca sair daquele formato de mosaico, acho que seria melhor.

acho impossivel de postar fotos nesta theme, devido as complicaçoes de inserir nas tags correctas, se ao menos tivesses usados as funcionalidades residentes do blog.

When i set on blogger it's some thing looking different. It's not like demo. Problem is: On Homepage Older Posts and new post links are not appear like this Older Posts 1|2|3|4|5 > like this. Hope you understand ! Please help. I want to set like this Older Posts 1|2|3|4|5 > links. Thanks

Mazruci

@Effa : you just have to change the "img src" url to your image location on blogger, i did it and its working. Just be exact on the size.

Mr.Dante, thanks for your very nice template.. I am using it right now for my site and i am willing to make a donation if my site could give me what i've expected.
But seems like i have 2 problems that i want to ask... and as far as i concern, everybody else are asking for the same question...
1.What should we do, if we want to use a portrait instead of landscape in our thumbnail.?
2.What should we do if we want to have those navigation page, just like what we saw on the demo...???
Thank you very very very much...

ARTEM McFLY

"@Anonymous, Yes, you should have a thumbnail, a Post Image, and A bigger version of it!"

Your template I think that is one of the best, I'm architect and I need to make an album and explain each photo, also I think taht this template can be very interesting if in a post you can put more image. Thank you.

I was wondering if you can use the links above for static pages as efficiently as I've tried and cause a few problems

Hi Dante,

Great template, thank-you.

All has been going swimmingly, until recently when i tried to upload a new post, same process I have used for all the other posts - but now it won't show the thumbnail.

Tried everything I could think of - nothing, just a white space where the thumbnail should be... This is happening to every new post I try & upload.

Please help if you can, this is my folio site and I am in the middle of job applications! oh-no!

Many thanks.
Yolanda.

I really REALLY like this template. Very simple and professional. I just wish I didn't have to make 3 different sizes of the same picture, then upload them somewhere to get a URL, then paste all that back to blogger... :( I guess if you want something nice you gotta work! lol

Mada Prastya

dante, i have an idea.. using this templete but still using HTML code post style for photoplus.. make it look more profesional..

I was having the same problem Yolanda. The thumbnail moves its position within the thumbnail box on the front page. It "jumps" down right after loading at random heights within the thumbnail box.

I would LOVE a fix!

For this template, how do i STOP it from being able to click it and go to the post (with comment box), and ONLY have it open with the jquery fullsize, like the Photoplus Template?

Not too good with coding, but if you could tell me what to modify or remove ,that would be great.
