Do I have to keep the maystar designs link?

Yes! These designs are worth $200 - $400 in labor, EACH. Keeping the link is the least you can do! All templates have a link included. But just in case, the URL must be http://maystardesigns.com and it must say "maystar designs" not hidden templates ....that is not the real name of this site.

But my site doesn't let me have Images...Now what?

Go to Villagephotos.com, get a free account. Upload the image you want, copy the image tags they give you, put them in your template, and you're done. If you can't figure it out, I'll help you if you pay me for my time. I'm really sick of helping people for 6+ hours a day without getting paid. I have a life too you know! I HATE computers!

Can I modify the design?

Well...Kinda...you need to keep the link, no matter what you do to the template, it's MY code, so you need to keep that credit. [Of course, if you modify it a lot, more than just the colors and stuff, feel free to add your own credit: 'modified by me' or so] Other than that, go ahead and mess it up anyway you'd like, destroy it, i don't care! Many designers are selfish, and don't let you even change the colors! That way you are not making their name look bad...I hate that! I want to be able to play with my designs! Don't you? So i refuse to do that. Mess them up as much as you want! Have fun! (I say 'mess up' because i've only seen about two people actually improve my designs, the other ones just screw up the tables and stuff, by accident, but still, they don't ever seem to fix it!] Also, it is against the LAW to offer a modified version of my designs on any other website!

How do you make your templates?

I code them 100% by hand. The old fashioned SLOW way. It gives me a lot more control over my templates. I also FTP everything (templates, images) to my server by hand. You should try it! It's fun! It looks like you are programing or something! I use a cheap microsoft picture editing program to make my images. I don't really like making images. I like figuring out html. I am a html designer. And as you can see, I've learned to live without programs of any sort! (Too expensive!)

Will you make me a custom design?

Yes. But, only if you are serious about going through the whole process and willing to pay me for my time. Contact me using the form on the custom page, and I will get back to you ASAP. I now require deposits. Amazingly, no children have ripped me off, just two grown men...I'm still waiting to get paid...

Will you teach me HTML?

Are you kidding?! That would take months! Search the web for help with html. That's how I learned, and also by just playing with templates...um, "trial and error"....

Why did my cursor stars are brake!?

Because Blogger sucks. It corrupts many many scripts including this one. Try getting the code for the stars again, and then editing your template outside of blogger, and then saving it to your computer. Everytime you want to make a change in your blogger template, make it on your computer, and then paste it into Blogger. You can use NotePad to do this. I know it's a pain, but hey Blogger sucks! Learn to deal with it like me, or switch to MT.

Why do I get a 'preview' when I download the code?

Because you changed the name when you saved the template. If you leave the name as Blogskins1234 or whatever, and don't touch it one bit, it should save as a text file. If not, you can always open the folder that contains the template, right click the template, and select "Open With..." and choose "NotePad."

Why didn't you respond to my email?

There are three reasons for this:
1) My computer ate it. Try resending it.
2) I was busy when I got it, read it, and forgot to flag it. Resend it.
3) You live in America, you speak English, but you don't seem to know how to write it... because you either think it's cool, or you are really lazy. If I can't understand your email, I can't respond. Please be clear, and use real words and proper grammar.
I HATE emails like this:
hie wads up i fond ure webbie an i dink dat itz kool mail me back if u dink so.
or
hI mY nAmE iS bEcKy AnD....

Why do you sound mean somtimes?

I don't know if I really sound mean, and no one has ever asked this question, but just incase you think I sound mean, I sound that way because I'm making this site with no sleep, I'm sick of people stealing my designs, I hate being on the computer, I just want to be done with it forever! ...and I want to go outside! That is why I sound mean or bitter, if I do.
