The main reason I found for creating this blog was to show people out there that you can use blogger to achieve almost everything. I mean, You can use Blogger to create ANY type of website, and show any type of content, If you know how to tweak it and admin your content of course. With this idead in my mind I have decided to create "out of the box" types of templates and help users using it, so they can see on their on eyes what I am talking about...
So since my users have got the idea of my templates they started commenting here like crazy, asking questions, congratulating me, etc. Due to that great feedback, I decided to answer (almost) all the comments, give my best to help people and answer all the questions they have, no matter how simple they were for me.
A couple of days ago I tried to search google for people using my templates, I got around 3000 results, then I checked some of them, and for my surprisingly happiness, I found some many GREAT blogs that have modified my templates in such a beatiful way that I could never imagine. Some of them have even won awards!
So I was here just surfing the net around as I do everyday looking for inspiration and came up with this idea: As I can not find all the great people using my templates by myself, I will create a post here and ask people to submit their blogs, only they ones that they think that have a great design, and are using a template of mine of course. It's up now!
After taking a look on what you guys have submitted, I will create a section on this blog with the top blog designs using my templates, with a text link to your site, and maybe a short description. The more people that submit content, the more the post will be productive, so please spread this post around using the many social netwoerking features here, including the "Retweet" button.
Submit your blogs!
Here's what I want:- Name: Your website's name.
- Link: A URL to your website.
- Description: Write a short description of your blog, what is it about?
- Template: What template are you using? What did you change from the original?
- Testimonial (Optional): If you want, Please write something about me, or my blog, like how I have helped you, or why would you recommend me, my blog or my templates to people out there.
Note: Please only submit blogs that have customized any template of mine in a good way, I mean if you have made it unique and have a very good taste, check this example for better understanding. The submission does not aply for those that are using the original version of any template of have a "incomplete" look of it.
Let's see what you've got!

* Name: desenhando...
* Link: http://deacarvalho-desenhos.blogspot.com
* Description: Uma baguncinha. Desenho e coloco quase tudo lá.
* Template: Mosaicus. Por hora mudei o body background e o header.
* Testimonial (Optional): Bem, conheço zilhões de sites com templates free e posso afirmar que os seus estão entre os melhores. Um grande diferencial é justamente sua preocupação de atender a todos, coisa que nem todos os designers fazem. Só posso elogiar a experiência que tive com você, quando precisei de uns ajustes no oquetemdentrodacaixa.blogspot.com, sempre solícito e paciente com minhas burradas. Quem sabe num futuro não distante eu decida por um template único?
Sucesso!
Não tenho blog. Escrevi para alguns, atualmente não mais. Mas gosto de ver as tendências que rolam por aí, etc...
Sempre soube do potencial do Blogger, mas nunca pensei que minha visão iria se expandir tanto depois de conhecer seu blog. Aqui eu realmente entendi que se pode fazer qualquer tipo de site nele.
Até hoje fico impressionando com o que você consegue fazer. Além dos designs modernos, os temas são interativos e cheios de funções, muitas delas eu tinha certeza de que não existia para o Blogger.
Lembro que o primeiro tema seu que vi foi o "Showcase", lá na galeria do BTemplates. Eu achei o máximo, nunca tinha visto um tema em portal tão bonito. Procurei o "Design by" do tema, daí achei seu site e depois o seu Twitter: "Mas olha só quem é! Um dos gêmeos que estudava uma série anterior à minha lá no EIC! Que mundo pequeno."
Outro tema que me chamou bastante atenção foi o "Photoplus". Para mim ele parecia desafiar todas as leis da natureza do Blogger, hahaha...
Parabéns por manter este excelente blog e compartilhar suas experiências. o/\o

Name: Pinoy Home Cooking and Recipes
Link: http://pinoyhomecookingrecipes.blogspot.com
Description: Pinoy Home Cooking and Recipes is a Photofoodblog extension of my other Filipino Food Recipes blog, http://overseaspinoycooking.blogspot.com.
Template: Mosaicus - Ultimate Blogger, I made several changes to adapt to the nature of the blog. The main changes I made was instead of showing a full-size photo of the main dish photo I added a second full-size photo of the recipe. I am now using two photos uploaded to the blogger instead of using a photo hosting site. I hope I won’t get the same bandwidth limitations. I also included the post tittles superimposed to the main photo. In addition I changed the font styles and sizes and other minor modification. I am still in the process of tweaking the template to adapt to my needs.
Testimonial: I have searched the internet for a perfect blogger template until I came across your site. I understand that Mosaicus is a very new template and require some fine tuning. But I thought this is the perfect template for my Photo Food Blog. Thank you very much for sharing.

I'm using viluxus for the all the blog pages, and photoplus for the portfolio
I got this via email:
http://tandemhearts.blogspot.com/
I tried to post this, but the word verification box doesn't appear...only the letter but no box. Could you post this with my name 'dan'. For the most recent blog entry.
"Tandem Hearts ... follows a couple of Portland transplants, Paul and his girlfriend Ramona, as they become increasingly accustomed to the City of Roses and less accustomed to one another."
Hm, how new changes can affect what were thought to be unbreakable relationships. The greatest friends can, later in time, be faces passing by that receive nothing more than the quickest glances of disinterest.
Aside: In New York, Los Angeles, etc, rather than Portland, maybe Ramona and Paul would become closer. Was it the interaction between Portland and the personalities of Paul and Ramona? In Boise, ID would they be dear friends and romantic lovers, and in Chicago, become bitterly resentful and angry toward one another, and in Miami would they become apathetic about each other?

Testimonial: Wow Dante.. you are a genius..
I’ve been looking for a template to create a photo blog for my work and yours tagged along. It didn’t just came very handy, it is very unique and beautiful.
Apart from adding my own header that I designed and some widgets, I didn't change much. Take a look at my url and let me know what you feel and what I need to work on.
Though I’m yet to get the hang of my widgets yet. As in align them properly. But thats not a problem. Anyway I hope to hear your comment soon.Thanks… And keep up the good work.
Recommendation: This is strictly good for photography or photoblog.
Warm Regards

# Description: Toy review blog
# Template: I am using the wonderful template "Dreamy" from Dante Araujo. Basically I just add the "3 column footer" and some minor changes on top of the page while the rest is basically in accordance to the original design.
# Testimonial (Optional): This is the best template that I've ever used and in fact it suits my blog pretty well. The page load faster than any other previous templates I've ever used before. As almost every posts I made contains lots of photos, I really love the thumbnail preview that appear on the main page so people can see or choose which one they like.
All credits and praise to Dante Araujo for this exceptional template design... I just love every bit of it.
But now, since Google/Blogger have this "Auto Pagination" thing, I do have problem with the main page showing incorrect number of posts. Last time it shows 10 number of posts thumbnail and now only 2 or 3.
Nothing much I can do but hope that the problem will be OK soon or otherwise I have to look for other almost similar looking template though it is easier said than done.
Dante Araujo, I hope you can create something similar looking template that complies with this stupid "Auto Pagination" introduced by Google/Blogger.
