This is a live demo of a 3 Column Minima (Wide) which is a modification of the Minima template provided by Blogger/Blogspot. This template is designed to be extra wide to enhance the featuring of photos and videos in your blog.

Here are the specifications of this template's built-in features:

• The blog is 1000px wide with the main column coded to 640px and the two side columns coded to 150px.
• An additional area for adding gadgets just below the banner. The translation menu above is a perfect example. Use this for static (sticky) notes, photos, extra menu bars, widgets, polls, etc.
• Peek-a-boo navigation bar designed to avoid its interference with your blog's design while simultaneously preserving its functionality. (Click here for instructions on how to replace the navbar if you prefer that it appear in your blog).
• Numbered comments! Great for contests! (Note: be sure to "keep" widgets when asked in the pop-up window upon importing this template for numbered comments to work correctly.
• If you wish to revert to the color scheme of the original Minima template simply follow: Dashboard ➔ Layout ➔ Fonts and Colors. In the middle column next to mosaic of colors is a button that says "Revert to template default". Press it and voilà!
• If you think the slightly transparent middle column is annoying remove this line of code: filter:alpha(opacity=95); -moz-opacity:0.95; opacity:0.95; -khtml-opacity:0.95;
  (Note: it shows up like three or four times so be sure to get them all).

PIF = Pay It Forward

This template is listed as a PIF in my Etsy shop. PIF stands for "Pay It Forward". Etsy PIF listings are essentially free however the price of 20 cents is because the Etsy-mandated minimum rate post an item on their website.

Some PIFs charge very inexpensive or at cost shipping, while some sellers will ship their PIF listings for free. This PIF features electronic delivery so no shipping required.More about PIFs in this article by Rhonda Rowley entitled "PIF (Pay It Forward): Sharing crafts with the world".
