Great video Brett! How did you save the blogger background? Also do you know how to remove the "Created by Artisteer" section that is below the footer of their themes?

Its Artisteer and there's a quicklink for more info on it. I've done a number of other videos on it as well, not just for blogger templates, but also wordpress themes, and more. :)

Hello, I have the same problem with your email sender. When I upload the theme directly to blogger. I don't seem to get everything correctly. I only see the header, and nothing else. Please help us out. What version of Artisteer are you using?

Well, I know a wordpress designer who has achieved PR9 website mainly from footer backlinks. However, I know a lot of places where people pay $10-$30 for a link in the footer of a nice designed theme. And those money can be spent on other SEO-beneficial things. =)

My advice is don't buy it if you do not know how to make money designing websites, or have the extra cash. When I first bought it (version 0.8) way back when, it paid for itself in about 10 minutes, solving a problem that would have cost me a lot of time and money. Don't get me wrong, I think the software is excellent and recommend it all the time, but only if you know how to make money from it. Some people see the potential right away, others need time to noodle on it.

@brettbum Ye, I totally see the way I can make loads of money on this at the same time as I'm getting backlinks for my website. I'm thinking of getting someone to sponsor me with 50% of the money and in turn he/she will get a backlink from every theme I create for half a year. (probably about 60 templates). I also know how to get my templates downloaded A LOT (5 years of internet marketing experience). I hope someone is interested. =)

@RemixPicture these types of backlinks don't help much from an SEO perspective. Google mostly discounts the links in footers like this. There's a small benefit I believe with other search engines but not much. I have found this tool much more profitable for 1) making custom designs for people (in wordpress not blogger) that need a very customized theme, and need it quick & 2) speed and ease of being able to roll out sites quickly and with valid xhtml and css. :)

I'm getting really interested in this.

However, $129 is a lot of money for a 19 year old college student. :P

I could but food for over a month with that money. xD

I believe it was Artisteer 2.4 or 2.5 that first introduced the Blogger template design functionality. I believe the official release is currently 2.6 and 3.0 is in some super beta or something.

Can you create Blogger templates in Artisteer 2? O.o
