Well, this is part of the reason I created a new website... I wanted to share a template that I made after tinkering around with some of my BANS stores. It's nothing too fancy, but a bit of a change from some of the other stores. It also has a "Watch this item" link for your products, which some people have been asking about on the forums. You can see the template in action at Buy a Geo Metro. And a quick screen shot:

Hopefully I can refine this one in the future and also build a few more advanced templates.

Here are the features of the template and instructions on how to install it:

FreshBabyBlue design by http://nichestorenow.com

Note: For best results, use item layout number 3 with this template.

Features:

1. Search and Store navigation on the right hand side in round cornered boxes, with an area for sponsor ads and also an area for adding rss feed information.
2. Edit the "search" links in footer.php
3. Edit the text above the logo in header.php
4. Includes an Addthis.com BookMark button in top right corner.
5. index.php has been modified to include a "More Information" and "Watch this item" link when using layout 3.
6. Site naviagation is in a menu across top and bottom of the page.
7. All images are included, so you may edit them as your please.

To Install:

1. Unzip contents of the file.
2. Upload the FreshBabyBlue folder to your "themes" folder.
3. Select the "FreshBabyBlue" template from your BANS admin.
4. Copy the index.php over top of your existing index.php. Do the same with the FontControl.php in the "cont" folder. WARNING: we are not responsible for anything that may happen as a result of this change. If you do not feel comfortable copying these files, be sure to backup the originals.
5. Create an "images" folder under the main website folder and add the line.gif image to it.

We would appreciate if you leave the "Template Design" link at the bottom of the page, but it is not necessary.

Enjoy!

This is my first attempt at a template, so if you have any questions about it, comments, or trouble installing, please leave your feedback.

Thanks.
