    Sis I have already published a tutorial on it. Kindly check this: "How to integrate AdSense in Custom Search engine?"

    And I always like your color combinations. :) Great job again Sis. Though I think MONOP would have suited your new blog more. Do try it too as many blogs have started using it.

  4. Hey thanks Brother for the post link i wonder how i missed it ???

    2.you know why I use tanzanite because now i am very comfortable with its designing as i am using it in almost all my sites ,but still i will consider this monolop also soon ,but believe me your all templets are just simply great and dam easy to customize !!!

  5. Thank you so much for this tutorial! I was wondering if you could tell me how to change the width/height and also how to get it to say "Subscribe by email" or "Enter email here" inside the text box?

    Thank you! Wonderful instructions. =)

  6. The only irritating aspect of this, is that you can't change the border style from inset. If you choose 'solid' instead of 'inset', nothing changes. I just want a simple box border instead of the default where the top and left sides are thicker than the rest.
