about template installation

All templates (including modified or custom designs) come with free basic installation. This means that I'll do most of the work to set up your blog, but you'll need to a few things yourself.

What I'll Do:

• install the template code
• create and add your header
• install a blank navigation menu for you to fill out with your own titles and links
• configure all fonts and color settings
• style your comments section and block quote
• set up your Twit This! icon beneath your posts
• install your tag cloud
• install the matching pagination titles at the foot of your blog ("previous posts", etc.)
• number your comments
• upload, install, and host your favicon (where applicable)

What You'll Do:

• configure navigation menu (preview instructions HERE)
• add your Twitter bird to your blog (preview instructions HERE)
• add your coordinating networking/feed buttons (preview instructions HERE)
• add your post signature (preview instructions HERE)
• add any matching sidebar buttons (for hyperlinking) that come with your blog (preview instructions HERE)

After installation, I'll send you a zip file containing your Twitter bird, post signature, and coordinating networking/feed buttons, for you to add following either the directions above or your own method. I've done my best to make the instructions as clear, simple, and easy-to-follow as possible, and you don't need any prior HTML knowledge to follow them. Just a bit of time and concentration (hence the cost of upgraded installation).

However, if you'd prefer I handle the whole shebang, you can purchase upgraded installation (either at the time of your purchase, or after, if you find you do need help after all). This means that I'll take care of everything listed above, but you'll still need to add back any other sidebar content that was on your blog before the new template was added (link lists, Etsy or Flickr widgets, blog rolls, buttons, badges, site meters, etc).

Upgraded Installation - $30 (Here's all the info I'll need to set you up)
