Simplex Newspaper - Template for online newspaper or magazine

I believe that blogspot can do everything that wordpress can . Yes ,of course ,it need time to make the function available such as readmore ,recent post ,recent comment ,show posts in their categories . But anyway ,nothing is impossible .

Here is my latest blogspot template . The layout from WPNewspaper template ,designed by gabfirethemes .Base on this web layout ,I added code for make it available in Blogspot .

It's a completely magazine template . Like no others blogspot template in magazine style only arrange their post in column like newspaper ,in this template ,Posts is showed as its wordpress template version .

Install instruction

2,Upload all images in folder to a photo hosting service such as photobucket .

3,Change all links :http://nhamngahanh.blogspot.com to your own blog address .Change link of each category in topbar,menubar,footer and change the subscribe address to yours.

4,if you want to change image or logo to yours ,just make your own logo or image and put the link in template file .

5,I noted the meaning of some variables in xml file ,so if you want to do more ,or tweak this template ,you can change these variables . Whatever change is up to your demand ,so I don't mention it here . You can read the xml file and modify it or contact me in comment form .

6,Open the blogspot dashboard . Come to Layout tab ,continue to Edit HTML ,and upload the xml file to blogspot .

How to use :

1. Breaking news section is a place where headline is posted . I make this for owner of magazine can updated news in minute . To post in Breaking news section ,just named label for your post "breakingnews"

2. Section in right-hand of breaking news for news . To show your post in this section ,just added label for your post "news"

3.To show image on gallery ,you added image in your post (one image is allowed ,do not insert more than one image in a post because gallery only show the first image in each post ) and named label for the post "gallery".

4.Subnews section is under gallery section ,it show the newest posts in each label . To change the label and post showed in each label ,open the xml file and find out code in this picture

label position

Change these to labels you need

It's my second template . I don't know how to write using and setup instruction to fit your needs . So if you have any trouble or error in using ,just comment here .

  3. Hi, whats up!

    My report in first day apply for your child, lets see what I got:

    - Page loading a bit slow cause java.js locate in another host ( I noted that your java script not in long, I suggest try to put it in the end of "head" section that will increase loading speech like horse)

    - I did 09 post with different labels exactly:
    worldnews
    Politics
    Finance
    Business
    Sports
    Travel
    Entertainment
    Gallery
    And then its appeared nothing on front page like this:

  13. This is nothing like building castle in one day, i've seen ton of template that matching perfect my need but it turn into a mess after real running.

    Have you check out your v2.0 brother, the bottom wiget broken with Internet Explorer brower cause wrong CSS config. You guys need to work more hard on this baby.

    Just my 2 cents

  14. I said "you guys" I mean all of us need to put our hands on this, not just you creator.

    Seen we're all follow those steps for making your template work more perfect. Hope that you considering my feedback like a small contribution.

  19. Hello,

    First of all I'd like to thank you for this beautifull template.
    Second, I think I've caught a little bug (I don't know if you will be able to reproduce it but, just in case):
    When a post content was very short (just a line or so), a little bit of code from prototype, starting with "function each(iterator, context)", got appended to it in a label summary page.
    I've solved the problem by adding the snippet below in the "getSummaryImproved(post,max)" function (just before "return s;"):

    var posi = s.indexOf('function each(iterator, context)');
    if(posi !=-1){
    var lft = s.substring(0,posi-1);
    s = lft;
    }

  27. Hi,

    So far, I was able to modify it all (my site is in spanish), even the video section; I even was able to download the images to my own photobucket (so as not to use the bandwidth of yours), but I just can’t publish anything in the sub-news section… Any help?

    Thanks in advance,

    Michel.

  31. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or what... I downloaded the new one from here, and followed the directions step by step, but still the subnews don't show... It is frustrating, because it makes me think I'm an idiot or something... :/ To not be able to find the error when (it seems) everybody else got it right...

  39. Hi Michel to show subnews, Here what can you do.

    1. Either you can change the subnews title & label, then post blogs in those labels.
    2. If you want to continue with default, then you will have to post in default labels.
