Blogger Template: BoyBurnsBlog (free!)

Today we're proud to provide, free for download, our first Blogger Template for mass use, BoyBurnsBlog (named after our amazing designer even though he didn't design it). Don't forget to check out a list of all of our other templates as well!

This template was developed based on the Simple template with the goal of providing a clean, minimalist template that is good for short blog posts and photo blogging, utilizing JQuery Masonry to give it a non-linear lineup of posts.
