Fresh Blue - A free Blogger.com template

Posted by Simon on November 30th, 2006 in Blogging, Free Stuff, Web Design | 2 Comments

I just made a free blog template for Blogger.com called “Fresh Blue” (okey, don’t make jokes about the name! :P).

It’s a very clean and basic template. The template works on all major browsers. Tested in Opera 9, Firefox 2 and IE 6. If you find any bugs or got any suggestions please tell me by making a comment here.

It’s free to use and download.

Everything works but the code might be a bit messy. I will update the code and add some more features in a very near future (when I get some more free time).

Many companies bank on this behavior to spread their products and increase the popularity of their company or their website. Viral marketing makes use of many mediums in enticing this behavior. It might be in the form of an interesting story, an addicting flash game, an amusing video and many others that may catch a persons fancy.

This ingenious form of marketing is typically low cost and is a wonderful tool for any company to utilize. The benefit greatly overshadows the cost or efforts to initialize this marketing scheme. Any website would greatly benefit from viral marketing.
