I coded an additional column in this template myself. Just like a great pair of jeans, this template also comes in "W-I-D-E" and "Skinny" widths. Open these links in separate windows and toggle through them to see the difference. As always, be sure to back up your current template before installing.
Here are the specifications of this template's built-in features:
- The template is 940px wide with the main column coded at 500px and the two side columns coded at 185px.
- An additional area for adding gadgets just below the banner. The translation menu above is a perfect example. Use this for static (sticky) notes, photos, extra menu bars, widgets, polls, etc.
- Peek-a-boo navigation bar designed to avoid its interference with your blog's design while simultaneously preserving its functionality. (Click here for instructions on how to replace the navbar if you prefer that it appear in your blog).
- Numbered comments! Great for contests! (Note: be sure to "keep" widgets when asked in the pop-up window upon importing this template for numbered comments to work correctly.
- If you wish to revert to the color scheme of the original Minima template simply follow: Dashboard ➔ Layout ➔ Fonts and Colors. In the middle column next to mosaic of colors is a button that says "Revert to template default". Press it and voilà!

ReplyDeleteThis looks great - as does your layout. The standard 3-col just doesn't have enough elbow room. I even have my 2-col blogs at this width - or wider.
ReplyDeleteYou da Bomb!
GB, fantastic template. I've been looking to upgrade to a 3 column template and every single site that gave "directions" on how to edit yourself was a huge failure. Even Blogger's new templates don't have a good selection for 3 columns.
ReplyDeleteOne question....is it possible to remove the numbered comments feature? I really don't need it and I have tried going through the HTML to find it and can't. I even went back and got the source code from my old template and replaced it in the "comments section" and that didn't work.
Your help would be much appreciated!
