Excuse me, I configured almost everything to my needs, but only later I realised there is error with the posting date: All show Jan 6, 2010.
Can you please hlpe me?
Dear Lasantha,
For the previous comment that I requested help about the timestamp problem showing Jan 6 in all of my posts, I found a solution by myself.
I copy paste experimentally from other templates and worked out the solution finally, a simple one.
**
1) Log into your Blogger >> Design >> Edit HTML >> Edit Template >> TICK Expand Widget Template.
2) Put your cursor into inside the template content >> CTRL + F >> Search for 'Jan 6'.
3) Replace 'Jan 6' with
4) Save template >> Refresh your Blog >> Done!

I like this template, but how to make the header make two columns? and how to make 3 new columns in the footer?
The theme is really very clean and impressive but i small thing, It should have to be centered align and not right.
Right now it floats on right side which doesn't looks good in large resolution monitors. Can you please make it centered align.
Thanks
