Minibox - 3 Column Minima Template

I noticed there were some problems when people try to upload the XML file instead of copying and pasting the code. I have fixed the problem (I think).

I almost always copy and paste the code because it gives me more control. For example, with a few tricks I can avoid losing any existing widgets on my blog. This will probably be my first tutorial and it will probably show up on 2600degrees.com since iit will apply to any blogger template.

In the meantime, I realize some people do use the "upload XML template" feature and so I've fixed the XML file so that it is compatible. (I have a new Mac and the first version had some funky formatting codes in it that wasn't just a plain text XML file.) You still have to right-click when you save or your web-browser will try to open the XML file and you will get an error message.

Here are a few template instalation tips.

3 Column Minima-Based Blogger Template

Minibox is a free 3 column blogger template heavily based on the popular Minima template. This is an XML based Blogger template for newer Blogspot blogs. The code uses very similar structure and almost identical variable names and section identifiers so that people familiar with modifying the Minima template shouldn't have much trouble modifying the Minibox template code.

Minibox is completely compatible with Blogger's drag-and-drop layout manager.

The original 2 column version of Minima was written by Douglas Bowman of stopdesign.com. Here's a quote from his website:

The goal was to provide a fresh selection of well-designed and efficiently-coded, standards-based templates that provided solid yet flexible starting points for anyone to use as a design for their new or existing blog.

Is there interest for a 4 column version of Minima or the Minibox clone?
