Blog Templates That Work With Blogger

Before we started this blog we wanted a different template than what Blogger provided. We searched for days to find just the right one. We finally found a 3 column template that would be great for our purpose. We thought we would share a few links we found that have free templates that work with Blogger. It doesn't take much work to change the templates to your colors and add your own logo and etc.

Their website is http://www.isnaini.com/

A few other links we found that had great templates are:

Launching Olde Village Depot

We are ready to launch our new website "Olde Village Depot." We will be offering several advertising options for Primitive Craft Sites. We have tried to design a site that looks and feels different than all the other primitive marketing sites. We have went more toward colonial primitive. We do still like extreme primitive but choose to look a bit different, hoping to stand out amongst all the other primitive shoppes.

We will also be adding links to the shoppes listed in the "Olde Village Depot Shoppes" here on the blog. The featured crafter of the month will also be featured here for added exposure. Please come visit the Olde Village Depot to check out our advertising options.

If you have a craft related business and would like to submit an article, craft tip, marketing tip, tips on craft shows, or recipes please email me at villagedepot@cebridge.net . I will add them here on the blog or in our newsletter, "The Olde Village Press." I will add your website url with your article or tip. This is a great way to get free advertising.

If you would like to write an article to be placed on our website you will receive free advertising on the Olde Village Depot website. This is a great way to get lots of free advertising. Click on this link to get more information. http://www.oldevillagedepot.com/advertise.html
