Hi…
i am using this theme… its awesome…
but the post timestamp that comes above the post title.. isnt getting displayed..
like to see timestamp like sunday,25th April above the post title… can i modify this theme so that it shows this??
Thanks..
Hi Ashish,
Actually, I removed the datestamp in this theme. But, follow the steps below to get it again.
1. Go to "Layout" > "Edit HTML" > Click on "Expand Widget Templates".
2. Search for this piece of code using CTRL+F
<div class='post-header'>
3. Immediately before that code, paste the following code.
<div class='data'>
<span class='author'> <data:post.author/> </span>
<span class='clock'> <data:post.dateHeader/></span>
</div>
4. Click save. If, you don't like the background of the datestamp just customize it in css.
Thanks… that was quick response.. 🙂

Hey in my theme (visit to check http://thebeginnersworld.blogspot.com/) Read more is not working!!!
Aravind, it is caused by the "Reactions" thing that you've added in your blog…Remove it and the "read more" will be working back…
Reactions??
What do u mean by it.and please tell me how to remove…
"Reactions" thing that I've told you before is the feature below every post to get know your readers reactions/opinion whether your post is Cool/Funny/Interesting….
To remove it go to Page Elements. Then click on the "Edit" link on the right bottom of the "Blog Posts" box…
Then, it will open a new window..there, uncheck the box called "reactions" and save.
thanks dude
hi….thx 4 upload this template ….but why i can move the widgets.,,.
thx……….
@Aravind, welcome..
@JRs.ReZ4 HyU6a,
Hi, Welcome..Do you mean you can't move the widgets from the sidebar to footer or can't move within the sidebar itself?
Actually, there is a trick to move the widgets manually other than in Page Elements page. Go, to EDIT HTML and make sure the "expand widget templates" unchecked. You scroll down until you see
<div id='sidebar-wrapper'>
<b:section class='sidebar' id='sidebar' preferred='yes' showaddelement='yes'>
<b:widget id='Label1' locked='false' title='Labels' type='Label'/>
<b:widget id='Profile1' locked='false' title='About Me' type='Profile'/>
<b:widget id='BlogArchive1' locked='false' title='Blog Archive' type='BlogArchive'/>
</b:section>
</div>
Only three widgets are shown above..You can switch the places of widgets by rearranging the codes…like shown below
<div id='sidebar-wrapper'>
<b:section class='sidebar' id='sidebar' preferred='yes' showaddelement='yes'>
<b:widget id='Profile1' locked='false' title='About Me' type='Profile'/>
<b:widget id='Label1' locked='false' title='Labels' type='Label'/>
<b:widget id='BlogArchive1' locked='false' title='Blog Archive' type='BlogArchive'/>
</b:section>
</div>
The trick is to switch/move the whole code below in that bunch of codes…
<b:widget id='….' locked='false' title='…' type='…'/>
That's all. 😉
I mean nothing like that …. but, all the widgets I can't move, downward or upward … I've tried repeatedly to move the widget down or to the equipment can not …..please help me,..,I really liked this template….
the sidebar is coming below the content
Susheel, your blog looks fine… Here is the image
