    Hi Falcon,
    I’m having trouble with the flickr too. I did what you said above in the “Set up the Flickr Gallery on the Footer” section. I also got my flickr id. It still does not work. Help please. :o )

    Thank you SO MUCH for this gorgeous template!
    I have followed the instructions to set up the Flickr gallery to the tee, and it’s still not working :’(

    Any suggestions?

    I love this template, but I am having some difficulties with it. I cannot seem to get the title box to appear in order to title my posts. Please help. I have reinstalled several times using firefox and safari. Thanks.

    Hi Falcon,

    I have problem with commenting. Some people say that they cannot write comments for my posts. Hope, you’ll help.

    Thanks.

    I have blank space that elongates my blog page with unusable space. How can I get rid of this dead space?

    Hi there – I love your design but I do have a few problems: I tried to fix the Search Engine using your instructions but every time I try to hit save it gives me an error message saying that the code is wrong.

    I’m also missing the quick edit button underneath my posts. How can I get that back?

    I’d also love to change the Font of my Post Titles, the size of the sidebar text and the color of the links. How do I do that?

    thank you so much!!!

    If I use the search function in watercolor template, it takes me to this side, but usually it should search my blog, right?

    http://demo.templatelite.com/?s=collection

    I have downloaded the search fix html, you have above, but the html in my template is a bit different from yours in the fix manual. As I have no clue about html, I was afraid to change sth.
    How should the change be done if my html is like below?

    Thanks for your help

    Thanks for an AMAZING layout! Quick question – How can I get rid of adding my ID signature onto the posts I make?
    Right underneath the post title it says the ID you posted under in bold black italicized font.

    Thank you!

    Hello,
    I used your Watercolor template for quite a long time and I loved it. But now I’m going back to using Blogger’s minima template. It’s having a bit of a hard time reverting everything back to minima’s proper formatting. The date as the top of the post is still in Watercolor’s format even though in Settings it is set properly. Also, my name is still showing at the top of the posts and the edit icon that should be at the bottom of the posts, along with the date and “posted by.” I’d appreciate your help.
