This is my latest WordPress theme. Started out with the tb20090124 (a first draft) and ended thus far with this tb20090315 WP theme. Most recently I added the Smoothgallery Slideshow, being an ‘Index To The 10 Most Recent Entries’. Superfluous but cool!
The glitches are gone, I believe, and (please tell me if this isn’t true) the whole thing seems to fit (almost) pixel-perfect in all modern browsers.

All header/post/archive images are loaded using the TimThumb PHP Script!
The images are saved in the WordPress Media Library and they are fetched using

<img src=”/timthumb.php?src=/image.jpg&h=&w=&zc=&q=” />

where
h = height
w = width
zc = zoom crop (1 or 0)
q = quality (max = 100).

Here the images are loaded, on the index and archive pages, consequently:

<img src=”/timthumb.php?src=/image.jpg&h=946&w=376&zc=1&q=100″ />
<img src=”/timthumb.php?src=/image.jpg&h=626&w=249&zc=1&q=100″ />
<img src=”/timthumb.php?src=/image.jpg&h=292&w=219&zc=1&q=100″ />
<img src=”/timthumb.php?src=/image.jpg&h=125&w=125&zc=1&q=100″ />
<img src=”/timthumb.php?src=/image.jpg&h=140&w=105&zc=1&q=100″ />

TimThumb automatically creates a /cache/ subfolder and stores all once only cropped images on your server.

Thur on 22 February 2009

Hi PanzerTank.
Thank you. This one is only for WP, and not to be published (I guess). But you triggered me: let’s continue twiddling with Blogger Layouts. Starting today.

I’m using your three-columned layout at Blogger right now and I’d love to upgrade to this if and when it is possible. Thank you for the great work.

i see u use this template on blogger. i need a template like this whit big posting area because i have flash games on my blog and i want people to have a big image. and i need columns not only big posting area.so i need all the space. i have a template but i dont like the columns are left side. and.. sometimes are some errors like the same post are in the curent post and old posts or the content from last post is not there but if i use the link for post is there and adsense is not after every comment what i make. in fact adsense is only if i use add gadget not integrated whit post. Now i dont know if this errors are from blogger or from template. I like wordpress but i dont use because i cant have adsense and affiliate banners so i dont use it.

PanzerTank on 24 February 2009

hello again… i see whit 1-2 days ago about the blogger templates but when i try to download there where u say click here if u want it ,i see a white page and blogger logo … normaly i like dark templates but the white its very nice too… have a clean white( i say about the blogger template what u have here)… and i see something what no1 have or i didnt see to have… on the right u can put a big gadget … after that 2 small … and after that 1 big again…

Hi PanzerTank,

When you click on the link, the XML page is loaded in your browser.
Right-Click and ‘Save Link As …’ will do the trick. It really is the dark template!
That Sidebar containing different sized boxes is far from unique … but thanks for the compliment.

Regards.

Hy again, im searching solution… my posting area let me to add a photo , games up to 640 this template let me up to 600 or something… who visit my blog see first was posting area 640, sidebars 160 whit 160, after that i change 640 and 160 whit 120 but in the end i said this is ugly… the site must fit in the page so now i have 640 and 120 whit 120… i never take from posting area only from sidebars…the original template have posting area something like 550 and sidebars 160 whit 160… now the problem is i cant work whit some games, i cant resize them… i can make them smaller but i will cut from right side( normaly in the right side are the option for menu like Start,Play or menu). this are the games from fog.com . Whit other games like games from armorgames.com i can resize them and i will not lose right side. i have something like 200 games and 90% are from fog.com And from all fog games 40% are bigger then 600. so i will have many games what will not fit or i will lose something from right side. I prefer to have a simple style for games and menu to be easy to remove games or something ,fast and easy… like i make again some pages from menu after i see on fog are new photo more clear, so i update the photos ..and in the same time i remove some games what i see are not ok. Because of this simple style now i have many fog games.. first i add games from fog and i will have many pages whit fog if are problem i just remove them and the games… after that will be new games and page from new sites. again some page and games from the same hosting site. From what i know only Fog games have this resize problems. Ok in the future when i will have many many games and not only games i want to change on a new style more complex for menu and posting area to be smaller( because is not so important the game size its important to make people to feel ok, many from the bigest sites for flash games like miniclip.com have a area for games up to 600)and i will have my own photos using something like photoshop… but now i need content and i will lose alote from my content if i change now to 600. But i said im searching solution so maybe i will make a second blog and when some1 go to a game what not fit in the 600 page will have the option to go there and play… i belive this blog will have only post area no sidebars… will look cheap but will be a solution for the moment because when i will have many games i will simly delet the games what i cant resize… then the fog games will be only a small piece. I test u template and let me tell u …. its a very good template and u have right its uniqe . I cant see page elements on chrome,opera but are no problem whit mozzila and IE so its ok for me. This template what i use now i have some h tag problems if is to say what a site what test sites said. Thur blogger template no problems.. no h tags problems … nothing so i can say its perfect…. About Adsense: whit u template adsense its after every post :) so its perfect for adsense. whit my template what i use now im able to use adsense only using add gadget.And because of that i have a bad feeling like if google cant add adsense on his own blog after every or on posting area( my setings are for that) maybe in the same time will have problems to read my content(crawl). I go to the site template and ask about that and other things(problems) but they dont have time for that even if are many,many what use template from them, even if its a bussines for them, they dont have time for that.. But after i add a comment and said to the people how and where to go for more info if they have BX errors when install template they have time to add this thing on the home page… the first thing what u can see when u enter the site. So i remove them from html template… and put my name. I will never remove Thor name from my template because i know for u its not a bussines..u dont have adsense..u dont send people to some afiliate sites… u dont send people to some affiliate sites and say..go there u will find help… So i can say u template its much beter like any template what i use now and in the past… i have something like 2 months from when i start whit blogger and 25% from the time i search templates . so i know all the sites for templates and if i say its the best i know what i say. so in the next days i will see what i will do…

Hi Panzertank,

To be honest … I am not sure if I can follow everything you are telling me (or us) … but if you are going to try one of these templates, and you encounter some problems or have some questions: feel free to ask.
If I can help you out, I will.

Regards.

PanzerTank on 31 March 2009

Hi Panzertank,

Yep, that part I did understand !!!
Please do not apologize. There’s no need for that.
I like people who are passionate about what they are doing.

Regards.
