Guys finally am publishing the template. Extremely sorry for being late. Some personal reasons. Anyways better late then never. :D Also i have made some visual changes. I have added a background gradiant. If you dont like you can remove it. Steps given below on how to remove it. Also i was not able to test the site on a iPod touch. If anyone can try and give a review it will be great.
Copyright:
You can edit this template at your wish. I dont have problem but don't remove the backlink from the footer. It should not be edited. For doubts email me anytime. I did some personal testing just to make sure the template is as light as possible.
Speed Details:
Tested with a normal Page with lots of text and hyper links.Total Size: 130KB Total Requests: 18 Total HTML Size: 10KB Total CSS Size: 3KB Total JS Size: 116KB Total Image Size: 2KB Loading time on a 256Kbps connection is ~4.2 Sec
NBs. Note this while posting:
1) Always remember the iPhone screen size while psoting. If you are posting images resize it properly else you will mess it. Setup steps for BTI.
How to setup:
1) Take a backup of your existing template before proceding. 2) Go to Settings --> Layout --> Edit HTML --> Upload the BTI template. 3) Login to blogger using the following url: http://draft.blogger.com 4) Go to Settings --> Formatting. Show 1 Post. 5) Go to Settings --> Comments.Comment Form Placement: Embedded below post 6) Go to Settings --> Comments. Show word verification for comments?: No. Though this is your personal choice as Word Verification will be a pain to do on iPhone Save your settings. 5) Go to Layout --> Page Element. Edit Blog Posts settings. Enable Show Star Ratings. Again this is your personal choice. Save your settings. 6) This setting makes the site open only on iPhone. Go to Layout --> Edit Html. Search for var browserchecking= and Set True for iPhone Browser only and False to work on all browser. By default its set to True. 7) Changing the background. Again personal choice. Search for /* Background change*/ background:transparent url(http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/5153/bkground.png) repeat-x scroll 0 0; and replace background with something like this background = "ffffff" Next upcoming features: (New updates will just be a template replacement so no need to panic.
