Stargazer Template

Posted By: Mark Aplet 6 Comments May 24, 2008

Anyone following trends in web blogs will know that the celestial images are all the rage. So I felt Mango needed to keep up with the Jones' and have one of it's own. This theme called Stargazer did the trick nicely. I also added a few additional theme options so you can change out your blog to the nebula of your choice.

Here are some screenshots so you can see what the options are. Click a thumbnail to view a larger version of each screenshot.

I retooled the codecoloring css and had it overwrite the default coloring so that text can be read on the dark background. The red and blue text was way to geocities for me.

I had to cut my teeth on a css conversion so why not a free template. Mango needs the support anyway right. Fell free to send me feedback. I would like to hear what you think. I will convert a few more templates and once I get the hang of the mango code I will start doing some of my own designs. I have a folder full of designs that were rejected from previous clients that would make excellent blog designs.

Go ahead and download the stargazer template here for free. (updated May 29, 2008)

    Hello, the template is great, I was just wandering how to allow the tags to be shown at the end of each post, thanx.

    Hi Monica,
    You just need to use the categories tag like this:

    <mango:Categories><mango:Category><a href="<mango:CategoryProperty link />" title="View all posts in <mango:CategoryProperty title />" rel="category tag"><mango:CategoryProperty title /></a> <mango:Category ifCurrentIsNotLast>&middot; </mango:Category></mango:Category></mango:Categories>
