Notepad Chaos Blogger Template
After checking your suggestions i decided to convert Arthemia Wordpress template but i thought that it would be very simple and would not look like original version , and then i decided to convert SmashingMagazine’s Notepad Chaos Wordpress Template which looks very very stylish with its illustrated design.
Overview
It has really beautiful illustration which makes me convert it , its 2 column , it has a cool navigation menu and a custom search bar , at the bottom there is a place for you which gives you the chance of writing about yourself and its totally free!
Installation
I locked specific sections such as recent posts and categories you cannot edit these sections , you do not need to edit too. I created a section for you below the link list section where you can add any widget to there. Also i installed embed comment form of Blogger , if it does not work make sure you chose embed comment form from your blog settings. When you upload it to your blog , you will see times as undefined , to get rid of this problem you should follow the following steps : Setting >> Formatting >> TimeStamp Format and now chose the 4th one and save it. Another thing i have to tell you is that you cannot see recent posts on template while previewing , you have to save it to see recent posts.
Optimizing Navigation Menu
To change About and Archives URLs you must go to your template layout and search for id=’menu-holder’ using CTRL+F combination from your browser , now you will see the codes which needs to be edited below the line i mentioned :
Translations
Notepad Chaos Türkçe : Notepad Chaos’un Türkçe versiyonu Teknomobi tarafından uyarlanmıştır.İlgilenenler buraya tıklayarak Notepad Chaos Temasını Türkçe olarak indirebilir.
Updates
I see that search form is not working to fix it go to your template codes find the lines below :
and replace with this
Donation
I’m planning to change my 6 years old PC , it takes longer for it to open Dreamweaver than my grandma pees. Please help me buy a part of my new pc even 1 dollar is enough ! Thanks!

işte budur be. blogger için yapılabilecek en zor wordpress teması bence bu. ben bi ara bi bakam dedim işin içinden çıkamdım. seni ayakta alkışlıyorum onur, vallahi helal +1000 rep
oh repleride aldık
First you said you would convert the Gabfire theme.Then you asked for suggestions and decided to convert the arthemia theme. And now you converted this messy and pretty common template?
…WTF!?
I know that is not easy to convert Wp themes to Blogger, but don´t you ever try again to manipulate your readers.
I´m really disapointed….
Gosu, thanks for link:)
lol… your art is remarkable guso…
cheers to you…
Sorry, but i don’t like this template. The template that you chose at the beginning to convert was more beautiful than this.
I’ve been looking and waiting for this template to be available for blogger. Finally it’s out..thank you so much…
well , calm down guys , i will convert arthemia and gabfire too , but im pretty sure you wont like arthemia in blogger , and duncan i didnt said that i wud convert gabfire , i jus cudnt take a decision and asked for suggestion ..
sen bir numarasin.ellerine saglik kardesim.en kotu teman boyle olsun.basarilar
Birader çok güzel bir tema, yine süper bir iş çıkarmışsın. Yanlız bir problem var. Tarihi bir türlü ayarlayamadım. Senin dediğin gibi 4. sünü seçiyorum ama yine de tarihi göstermemeyi başaramadım..
sen türkmüsün la:D
Hey Gosu, love this template, although it’s not loading correctly for blogger, I can’t upload it without errors, therefore not uploading it at all.
@chica i have jus uploaded it to another blog of mine and it works fine
http://club-adobe.blogspot.com/
can you please share the error with me?
@mustafa elhamdulillah türküm =D
@serdar tarih pulundan 4. olanı seç baştan , olması lazım
Eline sağlık dostum. En kısa sürede Türkçe çevirisini yapıp Türk Blogger kullanıcıları içinde kullanıma sunacağım. Çeviriye başladım… Sana da kolay gelsin :o)
@serkan , çok sağol =)
neresi türkçeye çevirilecek ki bunun her tarafı resim
herkes kendi keyfine göre yapmak ister. yakuter bulmuş, temaya en uygun yazı fontu. bilgiler arasına ekle istersen. dileyen kafasına göre takılsın…
Well I just tried it again and it worked, so never mind.
Must just have been blogger having a hiccup.
Thanks! That’s just what I needed to read.
Thanks for the theme.. Gosu..
Its a beautiful theme..
but seems it will take some time to load .. a bit heavy ..
AsSalaamAlaikum,
Gosu, you should not bother whether people will like or not when you have yourself openly expressed to convert themes freely. People will surely like once you have done their job. So please don’t mind and be generous to them.
As far as arthemia template is concerned… it has a professional look and my taste. So please convert at your own time.
Jazak Allah! your efforts will be paid surely by the grace of Allah.
hi gosu check my blog http://earnwithbloggers.blogspot.com/ in both browsers mozilla and explorer.Its the problem due to expandable post hack that its not working in explorer.Any solution to it yar!!!
it very nice templates, gosu you’re great,I’m a fan of yours
thanks.
thanks Ilyas =)
I think it’s a beautiful template. You’re doing a great job there converting beautiful templates to be available for blogger. Don’t worry about those nasty comment.
I’ve a suggestion of a few wordpress themes to be converted, if you feel like to.. The link is sunaryohadi.info/free-wordpress-themes…
Have a nice day
Notepad Chaos temasının Blogger için Türkçe düzenlemesini bitirdim. Gosu arkadaşım bazı resimleri bloggere göre optimize ettiği için Wp tema klasöründekilerin bazıları ile uyuşmadı. Bende Gosu’nun optimize ettiklerinden bazılarınıda ekleyerek ve tabiki wordprees için Yakuter’in yaptığı çeviridende yararlanarak tema düzenlemeyi bilmeyenler için blogumda sundum. Notepad Chaos Blogger Türkçe temasına ulaşabilirsiniz. Gosu dostum yazının en altına Notepad Chaos Blogger Template Turkish diyerek link verirsen sevinirim. Teşekkürler…
Gosu! Sanırım blogda bi acaiplik var. Aralarda siyah lekeler çıkmaya başladı..! Çok da sevmiştim bu temayı
Nası olcak şimdi!
dostum sen naptın temayı
, öyle oynarsan çıkarsan
I would like to try this in my new blog., anyway thanks gusu.
welcome mark
Gosu daha önce tarih biçimiyle, tarih pulunu karıştırmışım. Onu düzelttim sağol uyardığın için. Yanlız bir sorunum daha var. Arama yapmıyor sanki
Kendi temamda da baktım arama olayı yok. Sorgunuzla eşleşen yazı yok bile demiyor. sorun sadece bende mi diye baktım demo temanda da aynı şey geçerli. diğer temlardan arama modülünü düzeltmeye çalışacağım. Sende bir göz at istersen…..
Arama kısmını aşağıdaki gibi düzeltirsen sorun çözülüyor…..
Hey! I just downloaded chaos. It is beautiful…I absolutely love it! The only problem is, instead of showing the date, the little date boxes for each post read “undefined”…how can I correct this! Thanks for the great job. You do amazing work. Please keep it up!
I love chaos! I’ve been searching for templates for a long time and this was just right. However, I’m also having problems with the date tabs saying “undefined.” Is there a way to fix this? Thank you!
“you will see times as undefined , to get rid of this problem you should follow the following steps : Setting >> Formatting >> TimeStamp Format and now chose the 4th one and save it.”
if you read my post carefully you will find a solution for your problem
Great Template!
How can I delete de date of the posts. I don’t want any date in my posts, and I already deleted the .gif but it keeps appearing the date…
thanx!!!
Edu
I can’t download the template I don’t know why
I love this template and really appreciate you converting it for blogger. I am having one issue.
Do I need to do anything to make the Search function work correctly? I search and the page just loads the home page instead of publishing the results. I’ve typed in words that are on my blog and words that aren’t but the same thing happens. Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong?
Thanks so much!
I loved this theme, it’s really beautiful. Unfortunately I can’t upload it. I get this error: bX-al2pcp
Can you help me?
Hermosisimo, tenia rato esperando a que algun alma generosa lo transformara a blogger. Muchas gracias!
Hi. Please, help me. How can I put Year in the box data?
Thanks.
Yes! I could finally install the template at my blog. I think it was a temporary bug from Blogger.com. Now I have another problem: the date continues to be undefined, even though I’ve already done what you told to do. Help me, please. And thanks.
hi. can you help me? I’m a little lost on what do i paste as the url in my archive link? Or I don’t need to do anything? Thanks.
Great conversion of wordpress templates to blogger. I really love this design.
Mys
IF YOU’RE GETTING bX-XXXXX ERROR MESSAGES YOU BETTER DELETE YOUR COOKIES AND INSTALL TEMPLATE AGAIN
really love it, congrats, you did a wonderful job!
But, I still can’t get the search bar to work correctly…any thoughts?
Just installed the template and had two concerns.
1. the search doesn’t seem to be working. the blog is new but has two test posts… is that enough? what can I do to fix it? does it only search tags?
2. what code can I add to allow a description/subtitle under the blog name?
Otherwise I love the design.. glad to be able to use it on blogger!
Thanks
2 questions:
1) how do I add header description?
2) how do I get rid of (c) 2008?
Thx
Same question as Mys: where can I get the URL for the archive tab for Blogger? Love the template, by the way. Thanks in advance!
Hi gosu
are you finished convert arthemia for blogger ?
i’m waiting for that moment
hope can be share with us
thanks
Thank you for a beautiful template - I really appreciate your effort!
I have a question about a couple of hacks I’d really like, but don’t know how to do. Is it possible to add the date of the recent posts behind them (and make it look neat, without adding extra lines etc)? Also, is it possible to add the number of posts in a category behind the name?
Super cool template!!! Love it alot… Have the same question as Marx: how do I add a title description? And how do I remove the preset text on the bottom of my blog?
Thx

Hi! I’m having a small problem with this template. I want my blog to be viewable only to blog authors. When I choose this option under “permissions” the “recent posts” feature doesn’t work. The posts simply don’t show up on the yellow note. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks Daniel
I want the links in my links list to open in new windows. I tried adding target=”_blank” but it didn’t work. Any suggestions? Thanks!!!
Thank you so much! I can’t find my archive URL. Looks like a few of us need that based on your feedback here. Could someone tell us how to find it?
Thanks!
@Patty default blogger linklist doesnt let you open links in new window , but i will be explaining how to do that on following days
@carol archive is only available for Wordpress blogs, but you can put this link to show your all posts

Help! First of all - thank you for converting to blogger - I love the layout!
Problem- on my site the Friend & Links writing is covered up and I cant figure out how to make it visible. I added a link gadget hoping that would help but it didnt. I would really appreciate any suggestion you have-
thanks!
p.s. what is the “Etiketler” page element used for?
thanks!
dont add anything to there just edit the linklist gadget
etiketler means labels
the Friends and Links writing still isn’t showing up-
part of it is covered up-
Selam

There are 14 posts on my backup blog, how to hide old posts?
i just wanna show top 8 posts
http://yangwebber.blogspot.com/
I went to some other blogs with this template and they dont have this error-
i loaded it as per the directions. is there an edit I can do to make the Friends and Links show up completely?
Hi!
I have some questions about this beautiful blog template! How can I use the lables “About”, “Home” and “Archives”?
Right now there isn’t any room for a short description of the author that should easily be found on the top. It would be great if this template had a more customised layout with functions that allowed adding new gadgets with maybe information about the author, an image of the author and a java-ready widget that already exists in original Blogger templates. Can this template be more adjusted to the user interface on Blogger with lots of gadgets that can hold plug-ins, texts and pics?
Looking forward for your help with these questions and wishes.
Thanks,
maria
Hi, I have a problem with the date. It should normally show the date, like in the demo says Sep 04, but in my code says “undefined” and I don’t know where can I change the date.
Thanks in advantage
Sorry, I have read the solution you wrote. Thanks!
Still having date issues, tried to do the special date formatting in Blogger–didn’t work. Tried to find all of the HTML having to do with the date just trying to get it off there and STILL nothing has been resolved. I’ve read all of the instructions and printed solutions and other people’s posts! PLEASE HELP!!
Laura O.
I have the date stamp as the second one down the list: October 2, 2008
and the time stamp as the forth one down: Thursday, October 2, 2008
It works for me.
The only issue I’m having is finding the blogger archive link. I tried using the hint from a poster above about the http://your-blog.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2008-08-30T15%3A53%3A00-07%3A00&max-results=10000
BUT I got an error about the “updated-max” not being delimited with a ;
So, I’m lost on that one. Other than that I’m pleased with this template.

Hello, I still have a date problem. Maybe because of I am from Czech Republic? My posible choices of date format are:
I am sad, because I love this template. You will be very kind, if you could look at it.
Patek = Friday
Rijen = October
I try all of them and nothing works
Screen on imareshack.us
It didn’t appear in last message, so I am posting it again.
I’d like to know how do i make the “about” and “archives” buttons work, i went through all the instructions but i cant figure it out, is it like another blog?
şu yazı tarihini gösteren kısımda ufak bir sorun var. Bir türlü halledemedim.
Bunun dışında harika. İyi çalışma..
Take a look, i´ve install this awesome theme at my digital scrap blog. Thanks!!!! It´s a super template.
Hi Gosu, how can i fix the date at my theme? Cause here in Brazil the date is by day/month/year. The panel of my theme don´t left to change it for month/day/year.
Hey,
The “recent posts” of my blog isn´t working. At first it had worked, but suddenly it became empty, I tried to upload again but it still doesn´t work. It is possible to fix it?
Thanks.
Claudya,
Selecione o formato da data em Formatação, no quarto item.
Deverá escolher:
Sunday, October 5, 2008 para formato de data e hora.
Assim funciona.
Gi, muito obrigada pela dica, vou lá ver. Bjs
Hi Gosu,
I realized he same as Daniel, when I choose the option under “permissions” the “recent posts” feature doesn’t work. The posts simply don’t show up on the yellow note.
I would like to have this blog only to invited readers.
Is it possible to fix this detail?
Thanks.
In the section that says “recent posts” it lists ALL the posts I’ve ever made which so far is 13. How do I get it to only list the last few? I worry it is going to keep growing each time I make a post that eventually it will take up the whole side bar. Thanks for your help!!!!
Sorry but the date on the left of post doesn’t work for me…If u go on my blog u can see it. Maybe have i change some setting? help me please T_T
It took me near 2 hours to understand what could I change and how.!
I made it. Thanks for the convenient link here. It is always good to know we can still add more gadgets and we can modify the url for the upper three links (home, about and archives). Amazing design.
Thanks
Webberyang: re hiding old posts…
go into “edit html” & click on “expand widget templates.” Then do a search for:
var numposts = 15;
Change this number to however many posts you want to be displayed (in your case, you want to change it to 8). You will need to save your changes before you can preview them. You can add a summary & the date of the post by changing the values of
var showpostdate = false;
var showpostsummary = false;
to “true”
Hope this helps!
hi gosu, i already downloaded the template and it’s awesome but i have one problem, i did what u said about the change of the “about” and “archives” links, and i did it just like u said it but my problem is that after saving changes and i go to “about” and “archives” the link shows: http://www.myblogdirection.com/www.theurliput.com and that takes to an error of blogger that didn’t find the blog, i’m doing something wrong? or i have to do something else? i would appreciate if u wrote me an email with a possible solution to my problem, thanks a lot!
=D
Hello Gosu,
please tell me how can I translate the tabs into Italian, like you did in Turkish.
Thank you!
hey, may I know is the download for this template still available? I dont seem to be able to get the template.
wow! thank you so so much for this beautiful template! i really liked this template! good job! keep it up!
Hi Gosu,
thank you for your work!
I really like this template and everything’s working perfectly, but [aaarghhh! why always a "but"!] I’d like to have less recent posts on the right.
Is there a method to code the number of the recent post?
Thanks again
Huh… it’s me again… sorry, I missed the Epiphany post. Everything’s is ok and the last “but” is dead.
Thanks again!!!
hello!
i really like this template and i want to use it for my blog. i use blogger… however, everytime i post the xml stuff on my “edit html” page and preview it i get an error that says: Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly.
XML error message: The document type declaration for root element type “html” must end with ‘>’.
please help, what can i do to fix this???!!!

Hi! I’m having trouble with my “recent posts” and “categories” post-its. How do I add my recent posts and other links? Hope somebody can help me
thanks!
How do I add links and my recent posts to the “recent posts” and “categories” post-it? thanks!
Thank you Jessica Kennedy! I was having the same problem as Laura O’s and I had tried everything she had tried with no success. Now, with your help, my blog is beautifully working. Thanks!

http://borneo-tourism.blogspot.com
I love this template! Thanks very much! I was wondering if you could tell me how to change the fonts and how to put linked images under linked section. (or if you could link me to a site that could explain it)
I like this template! Thanks very much!
excellent! it’s perfect for my blog, thanks for sharing…
This is an excellent layout! I would appreciate some tips on favicon. I used to have one in the old layout but now that I’ve switched it disappeared. I am using Firefox 3.0.3 though I doubt that it’s the browser. I’ve copied the appropriate tag/html but still no luck.
I’m using it, and I love it. Thank you!
hi… I always use image float to the left for my images then type my text but then my text is always too close to my image that it’s already hard to read the text i typed? how do i adjust this?
is it the margin?
the padding?
where do i go?
please help..
Hi, problem with “Recent Posts” yellow post-it, all its content has suddenly disappeared, does anybody know why? Somebody has mentioned this problem earlier but there was no answer. Thanks a lot!
Where to get the archives URL for your own blog’s archives?
Thanks for the awesome template! I corrected the date per your instructions so nevermind my posts!! Thanks SOOOO much, I really appreciate it.
We were unable to save your template
Please correct the error below, and submit your template again.
Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly.
XML error message: The document type declaration for root element type “html” must end with ‘>’.
help please! and i haven’t even touched the html yet! no editing on my part. just copy and pasting!
@jessica :
don’t copy and paste, upload the theme (sorry for my bad english) and on the same page where you tried to paste, you have a place to browse and find the theme you have already loaded on your computer.
Choose it and it’s ok you can see it .
If you have date problems on the page “format” I choose the 5th date on the second menu and the 4th date of the 4th menu.
For “yellow post it ” problems, on the same page as for the date, on the first menu, choose how many posts you want to see.
For the “archives” I have quite understood it is only one possibility :
Put :http://youblog.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2008-08-30T15%3A53%3A00-07%3A00&max-results=999′
where your blog is the name you have chosen for…. your blog
It doesn’t work for me, I m asked to put something “;” but I can’t find how, may be you will understand this ???
You can go then on http://scrapyhouse.blogspot.com
it’s not my blog, but the one of a person who let a comment here, and you will find how she arrange for links and archive, it’s interesting and the blog is nice.
@gosu
Thank you for everything, the theme was so beautiful I thought of going on WP, but now I can stay on blogger, because of you. Thank you. Sorry for my english, may be someone else could post another comment to recap everything in good english.
Merhaba! Oncelikle bu sablonu o kadar cok aramistim ki, hem blogger icin hem de turkce olan bu versiyonu gorunce coook sevindim. emegi gecenlerin ellerine saglik. bunu cevirenin Turk olmasi ile de ayrica gurur duydum

To fix the search bar functionality, all you have to do is find the code and replace the ’s’ with a ‘q’
I know - it’s only one letter!!! But it works.
I’m having the same issue described by Moi, but I don’t see that an answer was provided. The “Friend & Links” header is only half visible, the bottom half is white, as though covered up. How can I fix this?
Thanks!
I’m also having issues with the Friend & Links header being only half visible. I’ve read through all the comments but I still can’t figure out how to correct it.
How can you fix this?
Thank you!
hi. i love this template, but i have a few issues with it.
1. how do i change the archive link?
2. the search is not working. how do i fix this?
3. the “friends & links” part does not show up. it is cut off. can you tell me ho to fix this, please.
4. i want to add a playlist to my blog. i tried to add the code for the playlist, but it is not working. please help me. thank you.
the date thing won’t work no matter what. still “undefined”. read and tried everything. still no solution. can someone help?
Thanks
Thank you! It’s beautiful and I’m more than a little picky.
I tried every date possible from Settings>Formatting> and I still get undefined. Is there a way to edit this in the html?
I was hoping to use this template, but the date stamp is the only thing giving me problems. Thanks for this template and hopefully this can be worked out.
Hi Gosu, I’m please indeed to see this nice blogger template and I’ve make up my mind to use this. And so, I would like to ask you about the code which I should change to alter the numbers of displayed recent posts in my personal blog. I hope you will respond to my inquiry. Thanks.
ok. i finally solved it! problems u may encounter and solutins:
1.Date - Go to settings and change the TIMESTAMP to the 4th option.
2. Search Function - Expand Html and go to the code for the search function, change all the ’s’ to ‘q’, like some user mention above.
3. Archives - i changed it to Posts Feed, the suggestion given above dont work for me
4. Friends and Links - They will only appear unblocked after you have added some extra links using the Page elements. i also changed the size of the fonts cause they are too small, for me :p
Hope this helps i’m writing coz i’m way too free.
:/ i love this its my blogskin now. and i dont think i will wanna change it forever! Thanks for converting
Great template.. just love it!

Hi again! A few months ago I asked about opening my links list in the side bar in a new window. Is there something I can add to this code to make these links open in a new window? I do NOT want to put a default “_blank” for the entire page.
Thanks.
I can’t get the “about” or “archives” tabs to work. I have read all the comments multiple times and still can’t figure it out. Can someone help me? I am also having the problem where you can’t see the “friends and links” area. (English only please!)
Thank you very much!!!
