    Shoutmeloud Thesis Theme For Blogger

    Shoutmeloud-Thesis-Theme
    It's been a long time since I posted an article on this blog because I was working on the highly SEO optimized thesis theme exactly similar to that of Shoutmeloud blog. Many people wanted the widgetized version of the thesis footer and the complete theme too. To all those who eagerly waited - here we are, with the basic version of the Shoutmeloud thesis theme!!!

    The template which I have designed is exactly similar to the shoutmeloud theme except for few areas. The comments section and the ads below each post are the areas where the coding has to be worked out. I will launch an updated version for this theme in a few weeks time. In fact, the step by step customization for each portion of this theme will follow up in the upcoming weeks - includes the coding for the sidebar widgets (subscription box, banner ads, etc..) as well.

    You may have a look at the following two pictures for a complete screen-shot of the home page and the post page. Hit the demo link above to check out a live demo of the thesis theme now.

    Thesis-Theme-For-Blogger-Postpage-Preview

    Since the features for this template are many in number, I plan to publish articles about each feature in the upcoming weeks. So, don't forget to subscribe to my blog - Subscribe Via RSS. Else, you will lose track of the customization. However, I will list out the features of this template here.


    FEATURES OF THIS TEMPLATE:
    1. TOP NAVIGATION BAR - Added | For Customization - CLICK HERE
    2. HEADER WITH 468x60 BANNER AD - Added
    3. SUB NAVIGATION BAR - Added | For Customization - CLICK HERE
    4. GOOGLE ADSENSE LINK UNIT (728x15) - Added | Replace with your ID
    5. ADSENSE UNIT BELOW POST TITLE (300x250) - Added | Replace with your ID
    6. READ MORE AND OPINION BUTTONS - Added
    7. RELATED POSTS - Added
    8. MULTIPLE AUTHOR WIDGETS - Added | For Customization - CLICK HERE.
    9. RETWEET AND FACEBOOK SHARE BUTTONS - Added
    10. SOCIAL BOOKMARKING BUTTONS BELOW POST TITLE - Added
    11. SEARCH BAR - Added
    12. SIDEBAR SUBSCRIPTION WIDGET - CLICK HERE
    13. NEWER/OLDER POSTS/HOME BUTTONS - Added
    14. FOOTER (For Blog Categories and Logo) - CLICK HERE
    15. BACK TO TOP BUTTON - Added

    All those which carry the text coding will be posted soon or article coming soon mean the articles are yet to be published. Once I publish the article for customization, I will be updating the list here. You can also send me suggestions via comments about various other features which you wish to have on this theme - for example, a featured content or an ad unit at the end of the post that will facilitate 125x125 ad banners, etc..

    Moreover, if you feel some portion of the template is little bit different from that of the original shoutmeloud thesis theme, you may leave your opinions via comments. I will answer to all your queries. So, share your thoughts via comments!!! We would love to hear from you!!!

    Note: Template best viewed on Firefox. IE does not support curved CSS. So, I suggest you to view it on Firefox.

    Enjoyed the article?

    REPLY
    Sam

    Good theme for bloggers.
    this looks cool and prof. but the full post is displayed . the read more hack isn't working.

    I have 1 more question in mind.
    When the read more hack is enabled where will the images appear ? LHS or RHS ?

    Coz On the Shoutmeloud website the image thumbnails are on the RHS.

    Can we customize this ?
    Can we change it to manual and increase the image size displayed and no. of words which appear before read more Hack ?

    please fix the template.
    Thanks a lot for the share !

    REPLY
    Mukund said on April 28, 2011 7:48 AM :

    @Sagar: Thanks for the comment Sagar! The read more hack will work provided you use the jump break in your post editor on blog. Just hit the jump break where ever you want to and it will work perfectly fine!

    Sagar said on April 28, 2011 7:53 AM :

    @Mukund
    aww ! thanks for d info .

    REPLY
    Mukund said on April 28, 2011 7:59 AM :

    @Vikash and Sam: Guys!! Please follow these instructions to make the read more hack working.
    1. Ensure that you have updated your blog editor. If not do that by going to the settings tab and update the post editor.
    2. Now, write an article on your blog. Look out for the jump break icon. Hit the icon and check out your home page. You will find the read more hack working.

    Sagar said on April 28, 2011 8:04 AM :

    @Sagar

    The read more hack is working bro with the jump-break but the size of the image displayed is very large n its not on the right or left side.

    can u figure out this ?

    check it here : http://testblog-newssavvy.blogspot.com/

    REPLY
    Mukund said on April 28, 2011 8:13 AM :

    @Sagar: That is because you did not fix the dimensions for your image. Click on the picture in your post editor and select size as "small" and alignment as "left". You will see that image moves to the left and it will be smaller in size. Hope you understood what I meant!

    REPLY
    Sagar said on April 28, 2011 8:19 AM :

    REPLY
    Mukund said on April 30, 2011 9:24 AM :

    @Amit: Thanks for the comment buddy! I do know there are few issues here and there but I'm pretty sure that this template would get a par score when compared to the original thesis theme on shoutmeloud! The reason why I did not compress the CSS is for more readability!!!

    i"m using this template! but why the full post is displayed and the read more hack isn't working. How can I set it to automatic without hiitting ythe jump break when I create an article? And chow can I have something like your subscribe to my blog widget? thanks!!!!

    REPLY
    Mukund said on May 15, 2011 10:18 AM :

    @Calai: I have designed the template to have read more hack with the jump break because it gives more control to the user. For automatic read more hacks, you can refer my blog. You will have a post that explains to install the automatic read more hack. As far as the subscribe icon is concerned, just wait for another day or so, I will post an article about it!!!

    REPLY
    Mukund said on May 17, 2011 11:46 AM :

    @Sam: Remove the attribute in the CSS part that simply defines for links on places. Change the color as you wish. When you define the post content CSS, enable the blue color. I hope you understand. If not contact me via email and I will help you out!
