Maggo magazine blogger template

Maggo is an excellent magazine theme original designed by ChiQ Montes. After working for more than 6 hours, I was succeeded in converting it from WordPress Theme to Blogger Template and now it is available for you – Bloggers

The original WordPress theme is not widget ready, but I tried to widgetize it when I converted to Blogger Template. With the amount of effort that went into converting this template and attention to details, I sure hope you appreciate this free amazing new XML Blogger/Blogspot template. An important note for you : make a right decision before deleting any widget because when you re-add them, they will not show correctly !!!

Install Maggo magazine blogger template

Step 1. Blog’s name and Blog’s description

Press Ctrl+F to find these lines

<h1><a expr:href=’data:blog.homepageUrl’>Maggo Mag Theme</a></h1> <h2>Blogger Template by ThemeLib.com</h2>

Change the bold text to anything as you wish

Step 2. Top Navigation bar

Press Ctrl+F to find these lines of code

<div id=’menu’> <ul> <li><a expr:href=’data:blog.homepageUrl’>Home</a></li> <li><a href=’http://blogger.com‘>Blogger</a></li> <li><a href=’http://themelib.com‘>ThemeLib</a></li> </ul> </div>

Change them if you want

Step 3. TimeStamp format

Please read the post How to change timestamp format on Blogger/Blogspot

Step 4. RSS feed and Email Subscription links

To get this section working you’ll first need to have a FeedBurner account. If you don’t already have one, please read the “Manage your feed with Feedburner-RSS feed” and “Manage your feed with Feedburner-Email Subscription” articles and then come back. Another option is to just delete this widget if you’re not interested in knowing your subscriber count or allowing your readers an easy way to subscribe (also lost the Search box).

Once you’ve got your FeedBurner account, you’ll need to edit this template code and replace a few parts. Search your template code for the following lines

<p class=’first’><a href=’http://feeds.feedburner.com/Themelib‘>Subscribe via RSS Feed</a></p> <p class=’second’><a href=’http://feeds.feedburner.com/Themelib‘>Subscribe via Email</a></p>

Replace the text in bold with your FeedBurner address.

Step 5. Recent Posts and Recent Comments widgets

This one is easy to setup since we’ve already written an entire article dedicated to this. Please see “How to Setup Recent Comments and Posts Widgets” to configure these two widgets.

Step 6. 125×125 Ad Boxes Section

Press Ctrl+F to find these lines

<td> <a href=’http://themelib.com’ src=’http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll96/themelib/tl-logo.png’/></a> </td> <td> <a href=’http://wpthemedesigner.com’><img src=’http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll96/themelib/maggo/sponsor.gif’/></a> </td>

This is code for 1×2 ads. You can easily increase to 2×2, 3×2 or more by adding the same code above. If you’ve got ads to place in here, then just paste the code into the template. If you don’t have ads to use, you can either leave our default ads or delete this widget altogether.

Step 6. Google Adsense

There are three good places for you to put up Adsense code. They are : 468×60 banner on header , 120×600 skyscraper ads on the left sidebar, 250×250 square ads on the right sidebar.

The 468×60 head banner ad is hardcoded into the template but will disappear when you add anything to this widget. It’s an HTML widget so you can put the banner ad code straight into this box, a normal html ad or Google Adsense code. This widget can also be deleted if you don’t have a 468 x 60 and you’ll just be left with the default header.
