Hello Alvaris
i would like to change the font for the posts text to Verdana, can you tell me which line in the code i have to change and what to put in there?
Thanks.
Thanks for your comment! Sure, you can try to modify the ‘font-family’ value to ‘Verdana’ in
body {
font-family: Century gothic, Arial,Tahoma,sans-serif;
or
.entry p{
font-family:Georgia, Tahoma, Arial,century gothic,verdana, sans-serif;
‘Save’ to display the Verdana post text, hope this helps!
Alvaris Falcon
Thanks for the reply, Alvaris! Unfortunetely, modifying the ‘font-family’ to Verdana didn`t work for me in both, “body” and “entry p”.
I put the values like this:
font-family:Verdana, Georgia, Tahoma, Arial,century gothic, sans-serif
but nothing changed. Do I have to edit some other lines in the code also to make it work?
Please let me know, David
Thanks for your further report!
I feel a need to confirm to you that your CSS has a ‘;’ behind the code, such as:
font-family:Verdana, Georgia, Tahoma, Arial,century gothic, sans-serif;
Hope this helps, enjoy customizing!

I’ve nearly finished my customized Zinmag Template. I’m delighted with it though I had to solve some primary problems with the code. I would like to add some extra tag boxes now. Do you have any idea about how to manage to do so?
Thank you very much indeed.

What is the size of the photos for the Slider? If I link to pics that are of a larger size, it doesn’t show the photos correctly. Is there an optimal size I can use?
Found it! I didn’t realize there were 4 pages of Comments… Now, I’ve read through all the comments and found the optimal size of pics for Featured Content (it’s 250 X 125 px, right?)
And.. This is a really nice template. Great work!!
The links in the footer are not transferring the correct background. What am I missing?
Thanks for your help,

hello! thanks for the template it but I would like to ask any posts about the “stop” on the slide, writing “stop” does not work is the problem? tanks…
thanks so much for the template. really love it and just re-launched my blog using it.
a couple questons for you though:
(1) i couldn’t get the adsense ad to work, even plugging in my adsense id. i’ve taken out the code for now, to make the white box go away, but i would like to include an ad in that space. any suggestions?
(2) i just saw that you released a v2.0 of the template, but when i upload it into blogger, it doesn’t work well. i’m assuming 2.0 is for wordpress only, but let me know.
(3) i also saw that you improved some of the seo feature in v2.0. is v1.00 for blogger optimized for seo?
thanks so much.

My scroll works well again ! ! ! thanks Alvaris !!
Hi!!!Ive found your template very interesting and very nice but is there a way to automate the featured contect like for instance it will select the recent posts???If that would be possible…Thanks….
To embed the Adsense ads on the theme xml blogger, copy the ads click on the button to copy and parse the result. http://blogcrowds.com/resources/parse_html.php
What is the font used in the logo?
Thanks
It’s Georgia, you can change it by access into blog’s layout and under the ‘Edit HTML’ tab, press [CTRL+F3] to find the code below:
.blogname {
width:500px;
font-family:Georgia ,Century gothic,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif;

Change the value ‘Georgia’ to the font you preferred, hope this helps!

Hello, this is a truly excellent template. I have the 2.0 version, but i don’t seem to be able to get the glider or scroller to work properly. I’m a bit of a novice at this, so i’m almost certain it’s something i’m not doing properly. However i followed the instructions and in comparison to the demo version i can’t see what i’m doing wrong.
Any help would be much appreciated, i have my heart set on using this template, it’s excellent
my blog is:

Nice to meet you, thanks for your words and report! I saw that you are using the Zinmag Tribune Blogger template, enjoy blogging with the template!
Alvaris Falcon
yes it’s a great template, but any chance you could take a look at what’s wrong with the scrolling glider? i’m completely stumped
This is by far the best Template I have come across especially for the content I post. Instructions for installation where perfect…. Thx. a million!!!!
Thanks for your praise, we are glad that you love it!
Enjoy blogging!

Thank you!! the template is GREAT

HELP! I’ve been using the Zinmag Primus template for a couple of weeks, and now am having problems. Audio ads play on my blog, which I did not place there. How can I stop this? It’s awful…
i am having real problems with this template. The template will not fit properly and i cant get the slide to work or the image and text to align
many thanks in advance

I’ve been trying to use your template for a while now. It looks awesome but is giving me problems here and there.
Version 2.0, the slider is completely messed up. Text is wrong color and misaligned.
Version 1.02 the slider works great. But I cannot insert adsense into the white box on the top right.
Also not a bug, but for at least version 1.02, when I use the “add gadget” spots on the right column, it splits them into 2 smaller subcolumns. Is there a way to make it be one large column like the size of the video and tagcloud?
I really like your template, but each version seems to have different bugs!
Thanks for your kind comment and great concern on our templates!
I have used Zinmag Primus 2.0 for my blogging site, Falcon Hive for months, and the slider is working properly. Since the installation and configuration of the Primus 1.0+and 2.0 is different, you can visit the following post for more information and guideline:

Hope this helps, thanks for using our templates!

how do i can create my own blogspot template?
When I add the Newsreel to the lower section, the title of the newsreel is your white font, but there is an odd white background box there as well, so you only see the white box. Also, all of the links are in default blue, which on the dark background are VERY bright and painful to read.
Perhaps has this Gadget hasn’t had any CSS applied to it? Is there someway I can fix it? Or is it user-error? >.<
You can see the odd colors in action on my site (http://skylara.blogspot.com/) – note: not much there yet, still setting it up.
Thank you in advance and thanks for an absolutely AMAZING template.
Also forgot to mention that the CSS to handle link colors DOES work in the Gadget itself on the different search parameters (like CNN and Fox News – just below the hideous white box).
Thanks for this theme.

I’m having trouble with the footer area at the bottom…The comments and popular posts section. How do I make those appear? All I have at the moment is a gray box
http://monstermazapan.blogspot.com/
I’m also having trouble making the “page 2″ appear. How many posts do I have to put before it shows a page 2 at the bottom? I don’t want to have a super tall blog
Ok I got this to work please disregard this question.
I’m having trouble of getting rid the feature slider on the actual post pages. like when someone clicks on a post to post their comment…it still shows the slider up top…. how can i have it so the slider only shows on the homepage of the blog

Wow! I can’t believe my comment from a few hours ago just was deleted. I’m real and wanted a little assistance with your template. I’ts not loading in Firefox but I guess you guys are too busy. I CAN NOT believe it was deleted. That’s just not nice! I was and always have been a supporter of small business especially ones that are doing well, I’m shocked. Hopefully it was just a glitch in your system…So, here is another comment
Please delete my last comment, I was tired…been working on this thing for 2 days now and I can’t see straight. I’ll await your reply and just leave my blog aside.
Thank you for any assistance you can provide.
Thanks for your very kind and detailed report! I can understand your issue, but since the blog is locked, I need to have username and email to access into your precious blog.
I’m willing to help you set up the basis of the Zinmag Primus template to your blog with a reasonable charge. You can just email any information you thought important to me, and we can discuss through my email, alvaris924@gmail.com
Hope and hear more from you, thanks!
P.S. Please forgive us for the late publish of these comments, we never delete user comment, especially your kind and lovely comment.

Love your winks!! You guys are awesome.
Check it my blog now and tell me what you think. For a Non-coding coupon mommy, I think I did ok. I’m still having a bit of trouble with the twitter body. Can’t get it to load and the tag cloud. I’m attempting to add the Flash animated Tag cloud but am unable to so far. I’ll keep at it.
Also check out the little RSS guys sitting reading his paper. I know, not a big deals for my non-coding self I was pretty excited.
Thanks again!!
Thanks for your further reply! You are really kind too, I’m glad and excited to have you as our reader and template user!

Hi,
the template is amazing. However, is there a way to slow down the speed of the slider? Thanks, your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your comment! You can open the slider.js file to find the code below:
var delayLength = 4000;
You can increase the value ’4000′ to slow down the speed of the slider, then save the file and upload it to your preferred file hosting server, replace the new file’s URL with current file’s URL and ‘Save’ the template to achieve the effect!
Enjoy customizing!
Alvaris Falcon
