"I've been wanting to do a carnival inspired theme for quite a while but I always gave up but when I had this idea I decided to keep going I've been having a bad habit of quitting. Anyways, I found an image that looked like what I wanted, a clear view of the carriages to serve as navigations.

I also used a yellow-ish brown throughout this skin because it matched the image quite nicely, and although some of you may describe it as an ugly colour, I like these colours

I tried my best to make this compatible on all major servers (it looks pretty much the same, no major stuff ups) but it is best viewed on Google Chrome.

I don't really have that many special functions. Just the basic ones such as archive, blog posts etc. but I have a coloured scroll-bar hence it is best viewed in google chrome."

"First off, i used the title "forget-me-not" as it aptly describes the featured anime, Ano Hana (for short). I used soft colours, yellow and blue, as i wanted to achieve a soft, sweet and slightly melancholic feel to the skin. I also found a good black and white image to work with.

I don't have any mini-icons, but i do have some little symbols used in the blog date and time, as well as for older/newer posts. The basic features of my skin are: blog post title, blog post date/time, back-to-top button, older/newer posts, and navigation sections for a profile, affiliates, archives and a tagboard. The archive sections also features a drop-down menu.

This skin works in Google Chrome and Mozilla Fox. Navigations do not work in Internet Explorer."

"I used brown and orange colors because I think that's great combination.
Post Title is maybe different from other. Script give me my budd Aneisha.
Navigation stvle is maybe, too, different from other navigations.
Best view is in Google Chrome ( 1366x768 )."

"Actually I made this in a sketch on photoshop. But, because I like this design, then I convert it into HTML code. I use a background color look-like use opacity and color such as not using opacity, and it's not a picture. This theme is clean, in my opinion.

I use pink, yellow, orange, and white for this theme because I thought it would match with the wooden background.

This theme is very good at up-to-date browser, but very messy in internet explorer.

This theme uses features: Search box (which works and has been tested), older / newer posts button, Archive, Label widgets, and bloggers usually features, except for the navigaton bar at the top."

"Design notes:
This layout was born from a desire to create a vintage-look design, hence the name Vintage Memories. The colour scheme was inspired from a Wordpress theme I created long ago.

Brownish yellow/yellow shades and hues are almost always associated with vintage designs which is why I incorporated them into the layout. Different shades of blue are also used because I feel they complement the yellow/brown colours well. The texts should be legible enough.

I use icons for the RSS Feed and Twitter because I believe the visual aspect of the social network gives a more significant impact rather than using text links. The meta tags are also in for better SEO.

Menus are in different link colours for ease of navigation. Visitors shouldn't have any problems in locating them. The hyperlinks on the menu link to various hidden div layers.


The features:
Embedded comment form beneath the post
Search box
Archive links by month
Label/tag cloud
Older/Newer posts
RSS Feed icon
Twitter icon + Twitter updates (sidebar)
Followers gadget

The layout is cross-compatible in the latest versions of most major browsers (tested on Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera), including Internet Explorer 8 as well as on mobile devices using Opera Mini or on iPhone/iPod Touch and Wii browser. Though of course, I fully expect the layout would be rendered slightly different across browsers. The layout is also viewable without major flaws in various resolutions: 800x600, 1024x768, 1152x864, 1280x800, 1400x900, 1600x1200, 1920x1200. For browsers that do not currently support CSS3, the layout will still degrade nicely. "

"Since I've made my 1st layout with simply softly colors theme,I wanna try something new and I ended up with this Dark layout =D
purely black and I didn't use much colors like usual.
The theme on this layout is "Bleach" (one of my favorite manga ever! )
and all the images and icons is from the Bleach 1stchara 'Ichigo Kurosaki' which is all edited by me."

"The color is actually nothing special, I have to say. It's the basic colors consisting of the various shades of black and white. This layout/skin I have made is actually based upon one of my old personal layouts that isn't submitted on blogskins. Sadly I lost the coding to that one haha.

The functions are simple and basic, like the colors. The navigation is at the top and when you click them they lead you to a different "page" without making a difference in the address bar. I have provided archives, blog posts, a small about me section and a larger one for those who like to go all out, comments, tagboard, and follow me link.

This layout was made in Google Chrome, I've tested it in Mozilla Firefox and there the title (In my preview it is "Nothing left in lust&quot doesn't provide the correct font which is courier new, as well as "Nothing more nothing less" on the sidebar and the post section is out of proportion. Hopefully this layout is still legible though."

"The usual simple layout and grey shades from me with a contrasting black and white pattern and box links across the top. The only color in this layout is the link hover. No fancy scripts or effects. A clean layout with colors that would do with any type of blogging : plain text or colorful images.

Basic blogger tags included. I have also included blogger tags which I usually remove from my submitted skins; permalink, comments, follow, pagination, search box and archives. Note : remember to set "pop-up comments" and change follow url to your own.

Perfect on Chrome and Firefox, some features slightly misaligned on IE."

"This skin I made is pretty simple and it has a neutral color scheme, mainly consisting of brown. The skin has a single column navigational layout with a header image. It is not very fancy but it is not too simple either.

I have included blogger tags like blog permalink, archives, newer/older posts and the basics like blog title and date.

I tested the skin on Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer. As this is coded on Chrome, it will look best there. It looks good in Firefox and Safari but unfortunately, it is terrible in Internet Explorer."

"This skin is pretty simple, but I don't think I've seen anything like this before. Colours are pretty simple, and I've always like this colour scheme.
I included archives, permalinks, search box and the front/back post links."
