Spanning | Free Blogger Tempate

Spanning is a free lightweight CSS template by  freecsstemplates.org. I’ve converted it into a blogger template. It is a minimal and fast loading template with no images involved.

Spanning blogger template comes with a gallery where you can show your photos as a slideshow to your blog readers. The gallery is only visible in home page. It is powered by Gallerax (a jQuery plugin by NodeThirtyThree). You’re free to use/modify this template as you wish for anything as long as you link back to our site.

</b:if>

You can change the image title and description by editing the text within the title=’ … ‘. Image title is followed by the description separated by a colon ; . For example, Grilled Shrimp is the image title and A nicely grilled shrimp is the description.

	<li><img class="active" title="Grilled Shrimp ; A nicely grilled shrimp." src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_b8IA1ajBJG8/TJHEY2kWxEI/AAAAAAAABq8/2RpueNXlxIM/img01.jpg" alt="" /></li>

Replace the default image source with your photo URL. They will be cropped automatically and used as the thumbnails below the captions box.
