FYI
**Update**
All of the error codes are fixed now. Everything should transfer over just fine!
XML error message: The processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed.
I am fixing this, but it will take a little bit. You can still upload the layouts though! If you get that error message, just bypass it. Click 'Save' anyway and everything will load correctly. Sorry for the confusion!
Also, just a reminder...if you paid for a custom layout, your blog wont change! The images being taken down are only images from the free blog layouts!
Big announcement!
Big Announcement today!
Alright, this is a long post, but stay with me here!A few weeks ago I received a letter from Photobucket (the company who hosts all of my images). Like several other blog designers, I have used far too much bandwidth and that has created a bit of a problem. Leelou Blogs is one of their top 50 accounts out of Photobuckets 700 million! I think that's really awesome. You are the ones that put me there, as that account is linked to all of my free blog designs. The bad part is that each image is being viewed several million times a day, making the bandwidth go crazy.
Long story short, I have spent the last few weeks getting a new server and transferring every image and updating codes. OYE!
That's me for the last 2 weeks. I can't make this up.
My old image codes will expire THIS FRIDAY, so go take a look through my
free layouts and either pick a new one, or re-install the one you already have. Please spread the word and tell anyone that needs to change their layout!
We have made these extremely easy to load into your blog. It should take less then a minute. I have made several new tutorials to help anyone who might be confused.
You will notice that any free layouts made previous to 2009 are not there any more. I will be re-posting them starting in October or November. I am currently updating them to have the extras that the current layouts come with and it will take some time.
***UPDATE***
If you paid for a custom layout, your blog wont change! The images being taken down are only images from the free blog layouts!
If you have paid for a custom design and would like to host the images yourself, just send me an email and we can do that.
I'm so sorry for the hassle!!
----------------------------------------------------------
With these changes I did have to purchase quite a bit of server space.
For the first time in over 3 years I will have to start asking for donations. The cost of the server will continue to rise every few months, so if you'd like to donate any amount that would be amazing!
I'm so sorry I have to ask. It has never been my intention to make any money off the free layouts. I simply want to offer something fun that anyone with any budget can enjoy. If you've ever taken a freebie, please consider donating. I really hope to keep creating these for you!
I love to design and this has turned into such a great outlet for me. I have lots of new ideas, contests, drawings and free layouts coming soon. We are revamping Leelou Blogs and have a ton of changes in store. I can't wait to share them with you! Thank you so much!

September 2010 free desktop background
Here is the September 2010 free computer desktop theme. Sorry I didn't get it up earlier today. I am in the middle of transferring every Leelou image to a server and updating all of my free layout codes. It has pretty much consumed me for the last 2 weeks.
Be sure to check back on Monday for a big announcement about that!!

And as always, here is the customizable version. I know some of you aren't sure how to add your own pictures, so I'll be coming out with some instructions soon on how you can do just that.

The paper pack I used this time comes from Katie at Just So Scrappy
(This paper pack doesn't include the wood background I used on the desktop theme. If you'd like it though, just let me know and I'd be happy to send you the file.)
The Back 2 School pack comes with allllll of this stuff! And did I mention that Katie's paper packs are $1.50?
