Making Border Lines Disappear

Douglas Bowman's Rounders4

On a happier note - January 17, 2009: David the BlogMaster of eBlog Templates has given his permission for me to answer his reader's problems either on the comment column itself (if the answer is short) or do a post like this one (if the answer needed space to explain). Thank you David for the trust given. I shall give my best services and hopefully I shall not disappoint you and your readers, David.

And here come my sales pitch: If you wanna use a premium Blogger templates, please use this link (also available on this blog left sidebar), to get your Blogger Premium Templates or click this link to get Revolution Church Premium Blogger templates. Cheap, cheap one you know!

Last night I received a personal message (PM) on my usual haunt at CARI Forum. It was from Ardamia (her nickname used on CARI Forum) asking me how to make the border's lines on her blog disappeared? At first I thought of answering her inquiry at a later date coz I got my hands full with my own on-going projects as an Internet Marketer. Yeah, yeah I know, but a Blogger gotta eat too, right? Anyway, that's for another post. Just remind me and I shall tell you about making money online one of these days.

So, as the story goes I went to her blog to have a look-see what it is all about? I noticed that she's using a Douglas Bowman's Rounder4 Template, one of the many Blog*Spot default templates. Within seconds I already got the answer for her, but it got me wondering. On the message she did mentioned before coming to me, she did asked around but nobody can help her...

I see that you're curious too. You wanna know the answer? Wait! Before I proceed any further let's do a little bit of history first. Yeah, I know. It's one of my favourite subjects too. OK, ok, I shall make it short but first, did you know who is Douglas Bowman?

Douglas Bowman is also the creator behind the many default Blogger's templates that many of you are using today. I guess he is still working with the giant search engine, Google as you can read on his StopDesign May 27th, 2006 log entry.

Before - Ardamia's blog using Douglas Bowman's Rounders 4 template with border lines

Right, back to the main subject. Like I said earlier, to solve her problem all I gotta do was to find all the image URL that made up the border lines. After going through her template, I found ten image URL for her to delete. The ten images that I suggested for her to delete were as follow,

After she had done deleting the above image, she got a blog the way she wanted it displayed - without any border's lines as you can see below;

After - Aku...Kau...Dia awesome looked without any border line

Before I take my leave, here's a tip for you fellow Bloggers. Not all lines including borders are created by HTML. I guess that's why they cannot solve Ardamia's problem because they were looking for HTML codes! I hope you will take it in a positive way. I'm not trying to belittle anybody here or to brag. It's a very common mistake made even by a very season Blogger. Hopefully with this tip it will make your job easier when helping others with the same problem.

As it is, a case in common was on my last post, Menubar on Blogger Template. The menubar I used on Baby Nurin's Sebuah Kehidupan was an image! Same thing, you won't find any HTML for the menubar on her template because of the said reason.

Last but not least, if you're a FireFox user, please download Web Developer 1.1.6 a FireFox add-ons. It has helped me a lot in solving template problems including my own. If you're wondering how I can get the answer so fast, that's my secret weapon!

See you guys/gals later on another useful information's post to experience the best Blogger's support locally.
