Simplex Vcard - template for minisite

Single page-minisite are light and very simple, but they have many uses. It's the best option for an professional online CV ,it can be use when your site is "under construction" . It's also use as a virtual business card , show your portfolio .
I made one Blogger template for minisites . With Blogger platform ,you don't need to worry about hosting and bandwidth ,and Javascript function is fully supported . I named it SimplexVcard .I was inspired by Vcard template in Themeforest and would like to make one in Blogger with some modifications and features . Hope you like this .

2,Open template file in a word editor like Notepad++ ,Wordpad....

3, Find this code :
<script type="text/javascript">
     $(document).ready(function(){

    $('#flickrphoto').jflickrfeed({
        limit: 8,
        qstrings: {
            id: '37304598@N02'
        },
        itemTemplate: '&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;{{image_b}}&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;{{image_s}}&quot; alt=&quot;{{title}}&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;'
    });   

});

</script>

Change the Flickr Id ( where I marked in green ) to yours Flickr id . You can upload image of your projects ,your works or your artworks to Flickr and add your Flickr Id to this template ,your images will be showed in this minisite .

4,To change logo ,find this code :
#logo a {
    display:block;
    background:url(http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/3850/simplexdesign.png) no-repeat;
    text-indent:-9999px;
    height:42px;
    width: 201px;
    float:left;
    margin-left:10px;
}
and change background attribute value to your logo .The standard size for logo is 200x40px .

5, To change the information in About me section ,find the code between :
<!--about-->
<!--/About-->
and change it as you want .

6, To add more network to this minisite ,find the code between
<!--Social -->
<!-- /Social -->
And add link to your social network accounts .

7, After social network code ,you will see the code for Contact information .Add your email ,your blog ,phones ...etc

8, Save template ,and upload it to blogger . When you upload ,Blogger will ask you for keep or remove widgets ,you choose remove . Ok,you are done .
Now you have a minisite for yourself .

9, If you want ,you can change the default design of this template with your own design by modifying CSS code . For example ,if you want to change the background ,find this css code :
body {
    background: #e0e0e0 url(http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/4861/backgroundwe.jpg) repeat-x;
    margin: 0;
    font-size:100%;
    line-height:1.125em;
    font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif;
}
Change the background attribute to the background image you want .
That's all . I hope this template helpful to you .

  9. Outstanding theme. Exactly what I was looking for, thanks. Is there a file someplace with the images in .PSD format to edit them?

    Thanks for the posts about lightbox, too. I was able to remove the Flickr "requirement" and add my own custom gallery with lightbox capability.

  10. It one of the best themes I've seen up to date! Thanks for the effort you put into creating it!

    One issue though.. The section with photos from Flickr - is there a way to open the pictures in some kind of gallery or anything? The way it happens now (opening in the same window, loading up the original image) look quite ugly. :(

  11. @Antonio : Thanks for your suggestion ,I will try to modify it . I think you can use Lightbox and other Jquery gallery in internet ,and search for how to use them with some clicks .
