ReplyDeleteHi, I just placed the Balance theme on my website, http://www.jackiecapersbrownblog.com and the individual helping me with this is unable to move the Google ad that is between my posts. Can you let me know what needs to be done to correct this? Also, do you know how I can go about getting the slideshow plug in for this theme? Is it possible on Blogger or that is just for Word Press?
ReplyDeleteSeems you've removed the credit links in the attribution, you're not supposed to removed the credits. So, kindly add it back or change to another theme.
DeleteThank you for a great theme Chandeep! I love genesis framework and now it's here in Blogspot.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I have a bit problem that breadcrumbs is out of where it should be. please check here:

Thank you :)
Hi don,
DeleteThanks for using the theme. you've removed some CSS codes related to breadcrumbs while making the customization. To fix it add the following css code in the theme. :)
.post-breadcrumbs { margin-top: -21.3%; background: none; width: 960px; }
Thanks Again..
Thanks for you reply Chandeep. I've already added the given code but somehow it's still the same. I wonder when I inspect the code, it doesn't use .post-breadcrumbs, but .breadcrumbs. I've been trying to find the solution but not yet so far..
DeleteJust send me a copy of the template. :) I'll fix it.
DeleteThanks
It's just perfect, but is it possible to disable the newsletter field on the top? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteyeah it's possible. Just search for HTML4 in the template and remove the entire widget, Now save the theme. That's all :)

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love this template! Posted a question about the columns but I figured it out as soon as I posted it. Thanks for the template! :-)
DeleteA responsive theme (as the one used for this website), is an approach to web development that allows a website to break itself down smoothly across multiple monitor sizes, screen resolutions, and platforms, be it a computer, tablet or mobile device. It allows the developer to create a site that is optimized for each platform, both in navigation, readability and load time. - See more at: responsive themes
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteCan I buy this template ? (remove footer link?)
Yeah, you can buy a license this template to remove footer links. for more details contact me using the contact page or mail at contact [at] blogtipsntricks [d0t] com
DeleteGreat theme! I love it Chan :)
ReplyDeleteCould you tell me how to put make google ads space on this theme?
Thanks a lot
Hi Chandeep,
ReplyDeleteNice theme thanks, we are using it on our blog here: http://thestylemagnate.sizemikk.com.
The main issue we have is its handling of images on the home page. Your theme by default stretches to fit the space which generally doesn't work well and distorts them. We modified it to just a fixed height (I think) but still not a good solution. Any suggestions?
Cheers
Craig
Look this problem!
ReplyDeleteWhen i checked the template your meta tag section has this line
meta content='noindex,noarchive' name='robots'/
this will not index the blog in Google ????
Please Reply.....
Yeah, but you have to note the previous line of the code.
ReplyDeleteThis code is indeed used to not index the blog but hear I used this code to hide the archive pages in Google to improve the SEO. ^_^ It does not affect the blog indexing.
We don't need to index the archive pages.

ReplyDeleteHow do we add sharing buttons in this template ?
ReplyDeletelet me know, where you want to add share button?
DeleteHi Chandeep, i am trying to add them below the post titles, i tried few online posts which describe how to do it, but none of it worked, after adding the code it does not show anything in actual post
DeleteTo add it after post titles search for the following code.
Delete<div class='post-body entry-content' expr:id='"post-body-" + data:post.id'>
Now Add the share Button code before the above link and save your template.
Problem Solved. :)
bro awesome is small a word for your this template and thank you is small a word for your work.
ReplyDeletebro how to put adsense code on this template please help me
Thanks bro, Glad you liked it.
DeleteWhere do you want to show the ads?

DeleteSorry bro, we can't show ads near the header.
DeleteTo show ads in sidebar you can use the template layout page.
Then there is no darker background in btnt or elise theme. I didn't use any...
I could not install this template. I gotten an error:
