If you found out a good themes or template in blogsome.com blog and the themes creator won’t tell you how to download it, the following tips may be beneficial for you:

1. To Copy the css layout: http://blogname.blogsome.com/templates/wp-layout.css
2. To Copy main index: http://blogname.blogsome.com/templates/index.html
3. To Copy post: http://blogname.blogsome.com/templates/post.html

Once you opened the page, for example no. 1. Click the view -> page source ->Save it in notepad. Remember to name it like the original i.e. post, comments, index, etc.

Repeat the same process to all four element of blogsome themes above.

After it’s done.
1. Login to your blogsome.com blog
2. Click Manage -> Files -> copy/paste the index into index.html, post into post.html, and so on.
3. Click Update Template everytime you made a change.

Despite wordpress has come a long way and free wordpress-powered blog providers are plenty, blogsome.com which still uses old wordpress version still has fans. Many are still blogging outthere. Two things should be thre reasons: first, it gives you freedom to access the html files enabling users to monetize it. Second, it gives opportunity to users to change themes outside the blogsome.com collection.  That’s said, I find very few wordpress themes creator who spare their times to make a beautiful blogsome themes/ templates.

These are among the few:

• The Citizen on Mars (various blogsome themes)
• Blogsome themes by Rajeev
• Blogflux
• Connection Theme for Blogsome
• I’ll update it whenever I find new info. Let me know if you have a clue

Blogsome servers is down or crashed we don’t know for sure. Some bloggers using blogsome.com free blog providers are complaining in the blogsome.com forum that they are unable to access their blog From Sunday Nov 23 till today Monday 24 November 2008. Here are some complains which don’t get the desired answer from the blogsome support team:

From howtojapanese
I’m unable to access my blog for some reason: howtojapanese.blogsome.com

Is this something temporary? Did I do something to warrant a deletion? I write about how to learn Japanese. Any help would be much appreciated.
There is no response whatsoever from the blogsome forum support team. The fact is some blogs are down, while some others are not. Blogsome.com itself, along with its sister weblog namely blogs.ie, can be accessed and run well. Hopefully blogsome is doing mantenance to some of its servers so the affected bloggers can happy-blogging once again.

There’s a precedent actually way back in 15 Jul 2005. The different back then they offered apology to their users:
One of the Blogsome servers crashed at about 06:44 GMT, and was
down until about 09:15. It’s working fine now (and no data on it
has been lost).

We apologise for the disruption.
