City Sleeps (3 columns)
► well, 3 columns in sidebar (wide one + 2 smaller ones)
► 3 columns in the footer section
► customized comments + author comments (yours) will be highlighted
► lots of details, icons, and stuff...
If you want your comments to appear like in the pic, you'll just have to activate embedded comment form:

Hi Pocket!
Hey, I just found your blog and wanted to say that I think it's awesome!! I've already gotten two customizing tips from you - so thanks!
Also, I just wanted to let you know that several of your links/url's on your How To page are not working. Such as, how to add the email format that you have on this blog.
Thanks again for provided us with such valuable and easy-to-follow blogger tips!
Hey Ron!
Thanks for support...I need that.
About the broken links. I'm doing a little housekeeping...They'll work in no time..
Smile!
aha..there u r..i have using this template..but i got it from another site. anyway thx a lot. i really like this layout :)
wening,
If you have time, download the new version of City Sleeps. I've fixed the footer and added 3 columns to it. Anyway, it's much better now..
If you decide to do this, you'll have to back up your widgets and scripts, so you don't lose those...
:]
Oh, I love this one, Pocket! You are fantabulous (as I say every day when I email you haha)!
Thanks Heather! You've just earned yourself a chocolate.
:]
Hi Pocket, Your template is simply awesome. I have one query right now (more to come). In your 'How-to' section, 'Customizing Embedded Comments Below Posts', I tried that and works fine. But somehow, the comment box is not coming in correctly. Could you have a look at it, and help me out?
My blog is http://gopikrishna-a.blogspot.com/
Gopu,
..the problem is in picture on top of the comment form. I did mention in the article that you'll have to make it wider (if you have wider template). I re-sized it for you:
New picture
..just download it, upload to your free web host to get the URL, and replace the URL of old picture with the new one...Ok?
Pocket,
Thanks a ton. Now its working perfectly. I guessed that size could be the problem. But did not take the risk of resizing as I am poor in picture editing :( and I didnt know how much the new width should be.
Another query :-)
If I change the colour of the picture (keeping the background as black), and load it, will it work? I wanted to try it with another colour.
Yup. It will work....But you'll also have to adjust the comment box color to suit your new color (from picture)...
You'll find it in the code you've copied from tutorial on embedded comments...
:]
Thank you Pocket for mailing regularly. As I am busy with some other project I could not experiment with your guidance. Soon I would do
Hi Pocket, could you help me to show author's comments also in the boxes for this template? Probably in the box colour that you use for your readers? You might have to guide me on changing the code, a new picture, and the colour code too? Right?
Gopu,
add this in your code (with the rest of the comment styles):
.comment-body-author {
margin:0;
padding:0 0 0 0px;
}
.comment-body-author p {
margin:0 0 .75em;
padding: 20px 10px 10px 10px;
background: #f9d7a5 url(PICTURE URL) no-repeat top left;
font-size:12px;
}
...change the #f9d7a5 to suit the color of the picture (which you have to place instead of PICTURE URL...
Unfortunately I can't get this great template to work;/ Every time I try I get error page with code bX-gm1h9h. Help please!
Duszołap,
Blogger is giving a hard time to people trying to upload a customized templates....Try these methods:
BX error fix
I hope you can get it to work...
pocket,
So far no sucess:( I tried on 3 computers, IE and FF, cleared cache and every time I get the same error message - I am really frustrated cause I really like this theme;/
Duszołap,
I'm really sorry. I know hoe you feel. I'm frustrated too. My motivation for designing new templates is zero...
This is quite new. Usually, error could be solved. But Blogger changed something in the system. Obviously. And I hope they'll "fix" it soon...
Be patient....I really don't know what else can I say...
:[

First i did ALL recommended things incuding changing computers (i tried on FIVE) - none of solution works, next thanks to advice i recieved from deluxetemplates@gmail.com I tried to put a new blog - it worked so my next step was exporting my blog, deleting it and creating again with the same name - this time forst thing I did was importing City Sleep template and it is working! I don't know what was a cause of problem but I am sharing a solution:) Greetings!

Hello,
I've been using the 2-column version of City SLeeps and I'd love to switch over to the 3 column version, but with my widgets etc., it looks a little too busy on the right side with the 2 small columns side by side. Is there any way I can rearrange and put one small column on either side of the large one?
Erin,
..You can try to play with the columns, of course. I don't have a tut on this yet, but there a bunch of them on the web.
In the 3 column city sleeps you have a wide column on the right side (top), and two narrow columns (under)...Use the wide on for bigger stuff, and narrow ones for Links, Labels, Archive and smaller gadgets...

Hello friend, thanks for advise, I love this template:)
I'm using City Sleeps as my background now and I love it! Thanks!!
Love this template! I looked through how the to's but couldn't find what I'm looking for so here I am. Hopefully you can help me :-) How do I set the recent comments and recent posts widget? I see them on the layout page but when I click on edit it gives me a blank page and it says on top configure feed.
Pocket, never mind I figured it out :-) Keep making cool layouts! I'll be checking them out..
Isolated Existence,
...sorry for being to late..I'm sure glad you've figured it out yourself...
:]
No problem ;-) Thanks for the How to's, I will be using some of them on my blog...
Hi Pocket! Man you are gr8! By seeing and learning from your template I have made a custom 1-2-1 column sidebar for my self! Obviously I had to experiment with b:section and other elements :D! Please have a look at this picture :)
http://lh3.ggpht.com/_M0X9MzkzNXE/Sdc4P27wt5I/AAAAAAAABtc/n0cFOy9LKdk/customtem.png
Its the layout I currently have :)
One req: [I know i am requesting too much :( ] Can you write tutorials on explaining the full meaning and functionability of the different sections and how to modify them and wrap inside our custom made div elements :)!
And can you add another post on your TUT section explaining how to add the comment box like you have in the template [Above the post] :)
Ok got it anyways! Thanks :)
