Extreme Georgia is a clear, simple and minimal Blogger template. I have created this template for blogger based on CSS template by MentariworksFeatures: 3 columns, right and left sidebars, white, minimal, fresh, unique, typographic.
I'm Klodian definitely a Blogger fan. Minimalist designer, Mac User.

i like it.
Uh, actually this is ultra cool. Great.
(Except for the "Recent posts" banner that I find inappropriate.)
@Stefano Amato
I like it, anyway you can remove as well.
go to edit HTML find this code and remove.
<p id='page-info'><span>Recent Posts</span></p>
This is beautiful. Well done!
Wasn't this design won the smashing magazine contest earlier this month?
@Johny
yes it is, you can get for your own blog.
Brilliant template, can I ask a couple of quick questions:
- How do I change the colour of the post titles and 'X comments' (currently orange both)?
- Can I remove the grey border around recent posts?
- Can I change the width of the central post column?
Many thanks!
@Lawson
go to layout --> font and colors.
for more need to have some CSS skills :)
Hi,
The funtion "Read More" is available in this template?
@Pepiche
you can enable it, read this post
http://www.deluxetemplates.net/1999/04/automatic-thumbnail-and-read-more.html
Hi Klodian,
I'm using this template right now (awesome design, BTW), but I can't seem to change the colors using Blogger layout (fonts and colors), but all I can do is change the post title font size. I choose a new color, but the change doesn't show. Weird. Even when I go straight to Edit HTML to change the colors, it doesn't stick. Here's my blog. I used a default blogger layout before this, and for that one, all the colors and fonts have been changed. Does that have anything to do with this problem?
@Hayden Thorne
This is link color and post title color
#F25F0F
go to edit HTML search for this and edit it.
I was changing codes in the wrong section of the style sheet. Duh. Thank you! I'll work on the new colors.
Hi! I love this layout! Could you let me know how to enable for people to subscribe to my RSS feed? I tried using the Blogger widget, but it was a futile effort. Many thanks!
Hello Klodian,
I have few queries. how can remove the left and right sidebar a little.Some widgets is getting mingled. I am facing problem with adsense. I have placed two adsense codes one below post title and one after post content but i cant see any of them. Even blogger default shows ads after posts is not working.
How to deal with this. Please help.
Thanks
Lavette
@lavette cullen
Its not easy to do this, and I can't explain through comments. Need to redesign all template.
Hello Klodian,
Very beautifull template! Thanks a lot
I am also not seeing my adsense vertical bar on the right side column. Maybe some variables I can play with to get it to show? Here is my website http://europeanpermanentportfolio.blogspot.com/
Klodian,
I solved the problem. My adsense verticcal bar on the right disappeared whenever I turned on also the adsense bar below the posts. So I just disabled the adsense bar below the posts and the vertical adsense bar on the right shows again.
Great Template. Thanks a lot
i can't change the blog title colour either! I've been replacing the blog colour code in the HTML, but once i save it, the changes don't show! Please help.
@Nahl
go to layout --> edit HTML --> search for this:
#header {
color:#666666;
text-align:center;
}
and change this
#666666;
everything is fabulus and great. i love my new template and i made it georgious with background, have a look if you like.www.rdekko.com
my only problem is that i can't put the "linkwithin" widget in the middle of the column. and i don't find somewhere in the html to fix it?
another question please my clever Klodian. Why in my blogrolls some links are different color than the other?
@Rdekko
Yes looks OK.
Klodian
Nice, clean blog template! People are having problems editing colors because the built in tool for Blogger doesn't work. But thanks to your tips here, I was able to modify the HTML.
Two questions: Is it possible to ad a Gadget on the bottom of the page? Is this a complete redesign or can I ad it where the copyright info is?
And secondly, is there a way to have the right and left columns have a different color background other than just white? It would change the look ... or something like this with the two colors on the outside?
http://tips-for-new-bloggers.blogspot.com/2007/02/add-blogger-search-box.html
Great template anyway! :)
@amy
everything is possible if you know CSS, I have used different style for sidebars, so you can change also and background.
Ho Klodian
Chose this design for my blog after sifting through hundreds. Love it! Thanks very much!
Klodian, one more question.... do you just code it straight up or are you coding it in a WISYWIG like Dreamweaver or something?
Poop! My last comment disappeared!?
I love this template but I can't see the "time stamp" on the posts? Would you mind helping me? http://bonafidehousewife.blogspot.com/
@Jessy
I removed, because in this way template look good.
really awesome templets.
i really love typography design.
I would like to add it... can you tell me how?
@Jessy
go to edit HTML and click link:
Revert widget templates to default
I am having a few problems.
1. I tried adding a horizontal menu bar to the template, I added it successfully to a different minimal template, but in Extreme Georgia (XG), it continues to appear vertically, with bullets. How can I successfully add a menu bar, is there one you know that works well with XG?
2. Inserting a youtube video in the post doesn't seem to work.
3. I wasn't able to change font colors either, but will try your previous suggestions. Thanks!
Any help would be very much appreciated.
hello.. why did i cant download the template? can you teach me please.. i really love this one!
tq!

@Klodian Thanks for this great template! I'm using it on my blog. Blogger just gave users the ability to show profile pictures on comments as seen here. I am a reasonably accomplished html/css/php coder, but I cannot figure out how to implement this feature in your template. Can you tell me how? Thanks!
@Justin
Yes, I know, but is bit hard to start edit this template now, but if you have free time you can do.
Im adding this feature to my new templates.
So download one from my last template and find CSS code for comments, its like #comments
Do this for both templates, and try to solve this.
Lovely template! I'm just wondering if it is possible to firstly, remove the 'Posted by" on each post? And also, is it possible to make this into a 2 column layout, or is that too much work? (: Please and thank you!
I'm having trouble changing the color for my post titles. I read your suggestions above and I'm still struggling.
hi!
fantastic template.
could you please clarify how to change the sidebar colors from grey to black?
thank you!
Hi Klodian, I'm a new blogger (two weeks) and have just replaced a standard Blogger template with Extreme Georgia. I realize I really miss the Blogger Navigation Bar. Can you please tell me how to add it into my new template?
PS--Why DON'T people want the navigation bar? I don't get it?? (Remember I'm new to all this ...)
@Laurie
go to edit HTML --> find this code:
#navbar-iframe {
display: none !important;
}
remove it, and save template
Hi Klodian, me again. Thanks so much for your response. Luckily I had figured out the nav bar issue, but NOW I have a new problem ...btw I have gone through every question & answer above to try to figure things out so I don't have to bother you but I'm stumped on this one:
I changed the color of the blog title & blog title description so they show up better against the background of the picture I placed behind title & title description. And it worked--I had the title in the same orange as the post titles (Blogger called that color #7f7f7f) and the title decription I needed in a darker gray, so I have it set up as #666666.
Everything was fine until, oddly, I responded to some comments left on my post. After that, no matter what I do, I can't get the title color to go back to orange!
I tried to paste the HTML but it's too big. Oh well.
Thank you so, so much! Btw, my blog will look fabulous when this gets fixed :) I LOVE the template!
http://youmusttakeyourchance.blogspot.com/
@Laurie
try to google, you can do.
Im extremely busy. :/
Ok I'll try ...thanks for responding even though you're busy.
hi klodian,
could you please help me and let me know how to change the post colors from orange to black??
also, would love to know how to make the header clickable.
thanks! please let me know if you can help. would appreciate it!
Hi,
Really nice Template, thank you very much =)
I'd like to add an "email me" button down the sides of the page. Do I need a widget, or can that be done within the template?
@(I AM) Dain Bramaged
yes you can add a widget a HTML widget.
Hey Klodian,
Thanks for the template. My question is how do I change the post author name in the edit template window (HTML). I know you can change it under settings, but I have many blogs under the same account and need different names for each blog. If I change the author name in settings all my blogs have that name.
Thanks in advance!
Cody
@Movie Trailer Addict
can't do this.
Hi Klodian!

How can I change the background? I want to put a picture in the background and only have it show on the sides of the blog not the whole thing. I want the three columns to stay with with a grey border and the sides to have an image. How do I do that? Any suggestions?
Love this template btw! :p
@krazyfashion

Hi,
I use this for my blog, and think it's a wicked design. I want to apply this template to a myspace page too... Is there a myspace one available? And what about a normal website one?
Willing to pay, just wondered!
@(I AM) Dain Bramaged
No I think its not available for myspace.
Is it possible to change this into a 2 column layout? (:
@Klodian
OK, thanks :) What about just a normal website template of Extreme Georgia?
Also wondered this...
1. Sometimes the title to a post will move when hovered over, and sometimes it doesn't... how can i fix this?
example: http://iamdainbramaged.blogspot.com/2009/12/introducing-unstable-melbourne-aus.html
Thank you so much once again :)
@(I AM) Dain Bramaged
your blog look ok, didnt got what u mean
Was wondering why DISQUS isn't working on this template. I mean, the patch is successful but it's still on the old comment system.
Hi
Here I am again.
As per our previous conversation:
I would like to ask if its possible to increase the Blogs posts column to be wider. Viewing the blog at the moment is 14.5cm wider and I would like to increase it to 17cm.
If I may ask you to check the difference between this Blog http://www.cinnamonspiceandeverythingnice.com/ and mine http://magicflavours.blogspot.com/
There is a substantial difference between the size of her center column and mine.
You: @Ana Powell
Oh but u ask in wrong template, I thought u had this one,
anyway Extreme Georgia can be customized like you need, so leave comment there, when I find free time I will give u solution.
Thanking you again
i was trying to make a background on this template but just on the borders of the layout. how can i do that???
Hi there,
I have just installed your template (which I really love!). I have a problem with the right hand column dropping to line up with the bottom of the last post. (you can see this here: www.myupstairs.blogspot.com). Can you please suggest a fix?
Thanks, D
@Ana Powell
go to edit HTML and search [CTRL+F] for:
width:960px; replace with width:1020px;
search again this:
width:548px; replace with width:608px;
this is good for any monitor resolution
Hi Klodian
Many thanks for all your help and support.
I have done it and the Blog looks fantastic.
I am extremelly happy with the template.
Many thanks for everything x
P.S. There was a good samaritan that saw my comment on your Blog and sent some information to my email too.
Hi Klodian,
I used the info for Ana to fix my problem too.
Thanks.
Hi Klodian,
Love the template, using it on both of my blogs. Two questions:
1) How do I change the color, or remove, the flourish that sits right below the "posted by" tag on each post?
2) I am having the same issue as Deborah, "the right hand column dropping to line up with the bottom of the last post". I have all of my widgets in the left column because of this. I tried the fix that Deborah said she used, and it didn't work.
Thanks!
Hi Klodian, I am an admirer of this great template as well. Its my fave but I have the same problem as Saltina and Deborah.
I tried removing the widgets and adding them again. I also downloaded the template again and reinstalled but that didn't work.
Hope you'll have a fix. Thanks anyway!
http://manuka-honey-info.blogspot.com/
oh, Deborah's fix didn't work for me either
@skinformation
I dont see like a problem, if u want to customize template u are to do, but should know how to do... hehe
anyway read my replays above maybe are useful
Hey thanks for the fast reply, but I mean my right column widgets are at the complete bottom of the page. Not next to the posts as supposed.
the problem described by others as: "the right hand column dropping to line up with the bottom of the last post"
How do I download it? It won't download. Thanks!
@Cokie Pop Paper Boutique
what u mean?
how the heck do you change the color and the font!!!!!!!!!!
When I unzip the file and open it, it opens up one of my Mac games. How do I download the layout properly on a Mac?

I tried to change the post width from above answers, but it ends up knocking my right column away.
What can I do??
@taylor
read comment above i have explained once
Hello Klodian,
I love this template.
I'm struggling with getting those Quick Edit icons back on this template (those pencils and wrenches). Even though, I have them enabled under my settings, I can't seem to get those icons. I read several blog posts on enabling those quick edit icons and did everything I read on those posts, but I still cannot get those icons on this template.
Did you do something specific to hide them? Is there a way to enable them?
I'll appreciate your help.
Thanks.
@Harwinder
No I dont remember, and I dont think so.
Hi Koldian -- just a quick question.
How can I make my blog look like your "Live Demo"?
The "Archives" and "Followers" in the right hand column are all the way at the bottom of the page...below the post. http://olgabrik.blogspot.com/
Thanks for your help!
Olga
@olgabrik
Just visited your blog, and is OK.
Agreed, but is there a way to make the archive show up at the top -- as it does in your demo?
@Olga
Archives are UP at top of sideabar
Sorry to be a pain, but it only renders correctly in Internet Explorer. No luck with Firefox or Safari. Any suggestions?
@Olga
Im on Firefox and I see archived on top right sidebar.
Olga, need more help, try to contact me through contact form to receive premium services :)
Hi! fantastic blog template
How do I change the color, or remove, the flourish that sits right below the "posted by" tag on each post?
Thanks for your help
Hi Klodian, I just want to thank you, I love this template and I love the way my blog looks! You made me happy! ^^

Help, Klodian!
Something reverted and so my "Posted by" and the flourish have moved to the bottom of the post instead of at the top below the title. Can you tell me the problem?
California Genealogical Society and Library blog
im having an odd problem.
even i set "show 200 posts" this template shows me just 10...
how can i make it show all posts?
@Anteros
Blogger not allow this anymore, but why u want to display all posts, will make your blog very very slow, visitors hate slow loading.
@klodian
first, thanks for fast reply...
actually i am using "read more" links and that makes blog faster. but you are definetly right and i see why blogger doesnt allow it... thanks anyway..
i want to remove the little divider above the post, but i'm not sure how.

Questo template è veramento bello.
L'ho sto usando per le mie fotografie, e sono veramente soddisfatto. Ho aperto il blog da poco tempo ed ho ancora molto da imparare sui vari linguaggi(html,css).Vorrei cambiare la veste grafica del mio header ma non riesco a farlo.Mi spiego meglio:ridimensiono la foto a 960px per 290px, la carico nel server e poi la vado ad aggiungere al mio template.Una volta caricata nell'header essa risulta più piccola, cioè non copre l'intera lunghezza dell'header anche se hanno le stesse dimensioni. Ho fatto tante prove ma tutte con esito negativo. Come posso risolvere questo mio primo problema?
Ciao.
I downloaded the template but when I go to look at my blog, I get routed to someone elses site. Why is this happening?
@Molly Bredehoft
I visited your blog and was ok, be careful from script you install from third parties...
I'm desperate!
I can not solve the problem!
@CS
Explain in english, Im from 80 mile away, form Italy, but i prefer english :)
That veramento template is beautiful.
I am using for my pictures, and I am really pleased. I opened the blog recently and I still have much to learn about different languages (html, css). I want to change the look and feel of my header but I can not farlo.Mi explain: resize the image to 960px by 290px, the load the server and then I go to add to my template.Una Once loaded in the header it is smaller, that does not cover the entire length of the header even if they have the same size. I've done many tests but all failed. How can I fix my first problem?
Hello.
@CS
Your problem is photobucket which re-size it to 797px x 166px
http://i640.photobucket.com/albums/uu127/kosta64/Patterns/header1.jpg
upload somewhere and upload it again
@ Klodian
Thank you for responding so promptly.
Problem solved!!!
It 'really true ... I still have much to learn!
You have been really kind to you and also congratulations for your excellent site.
Hello
PS: Sorry for my English.
Love it!!!! Thank you so much for sharing this lovely template.. Been looking for a white with borders to separate the left and right bar..
i'm having a problem
even i set "show 1 post" this template shows me double. how can i make it show only one post ?
http://mysevenworld.blogspot.com
@rasysya
blogger defined this, its not related to template
Georgia is my favorite font. I love this. XD
Excellent work!!
Is there a way to activate the 'reaction' buttons in blogger? (like, dislike, etc) I've tried switching them on via the 'layout' panel but they won't show up on the blog...
@Admin
yes try through layout panel and click save.
I have seen many blogs which use this template with reaction buttons
Turns out you have to add some extra code...in case anyone needs it: http://www.bloggerbuster.com/2008/08/bloggers-new-reactions-feature-how-to.html
I love this template. Thanks for sharing it.
However, I have just one problem. Since switching to this template, when a share a link of a new blog post on facebook, it doesn't have the thumbnail image or the intro text. I tried to research to add necessary tags for facebook to pick up but I just can't figure it out.
Can anyone look at my blog source and then tell me exactly what to insert and where to insert it into the code? I am going crazy trying to figure this out but it's crucial to me.
http://adhdmomma.blogspot.com
Thanks!
Klodian, Did you have any advice on what to do about my issue with this template not working to post links on facebook as I mentioned in my comment above? I think it's a matter of adding a bit of code but I am not a programmer or web designer. Any help would be appreciated. http://adhdmomma.blogspot.com
@Penny Williams
I dont know... sorry
Klodian,
For some reason I can't download this template or your others in Firefox or IE...is there something special I need to do?
Hello! Great layout. Thanks.
Is there anyway I can change the symbol below the titles of the posts. The starburst looking thing....
Also...can I change the + bullets to comething else?
@jcb
yes but through comments I can't show you, also I offer custom service if you need contact me.
I love this template! Is compressing a file the same thing as unzipping a file on a Mac? I keep getting this error when I try to upload the file:Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly.
XML error message: Content is not allowed in prolog.
Thank you!
@Teigan
yes you have to unzip and then upload XML file
Thanks for your quick response. I compressed my file and it did not work so does that mean I need to download a program (as you have mentioned before) to unzip the file?
after extracting the file then trying to open it, a seperate browser window opens but nothing ever happens. i've opened this type of file before with no problem. do you know what could be causing this?
@Nyla
you dont need to open anything, just read this
