Week 3:

This week's bundle comes in the theme of "Business Basics." Check them out!

 

 

Business Sepia

 


Business Sepia is great for a simple business site. Use it for your consulting firm, law practice, or for whatever business you are in to have a clean and simple site. 

 

 

 

Coffee Beans

 


Use Coffee Beans to have a visually appealing site for your coffee shop. A simple background with coffee bean accents gives your shop's website the special touches it needs without being overly designed. 

 

 

 

Love Birds

 

 

Perfect for a wedding planner site or possibly your photography site, Love Birds is a beautiful template. 

 

 

 

Modern Medicine

 

 

Modern Medicine is great for a private practice website or even an informational page for the school nurse. 

 

 

 

Plain Jade

 


Plain Jade can be altered to fit whatever business you need. Its crisp white background with a dark accent gives your business a clean slate to create a unique site upon. 

 

 

Squiggles

 


Squiggles is a fun and calming style - great for a spa or beauty shop or also, again, a wedding planner. 

 

 

 

Tool Shop

 


If you're a handyman, in the construction business, or an owner of a hardware store, Tool Shop is the perfect style for you. 

 

 

 

Week 2:

This week's bundle comes in the theme of "Inspired by Paper." Check them out!

 

 

Koi

 

 

This style will give your site an oriental feel with a background similar to Washi (a type of paper made in Japan).

 

 

 

Paper Bag

 

 

Paper Bag was inspired by everyday shopping bags or lunch bags with fun accent colors added in - perfect for an eco-friendly site.

 

 

 

Scratched V2

 

 

Scratched V2 may look familiar to you and there's a reason for that - Scratched is a current Tripod style. Scratched V2 pulls the same crumpled paper background and similar heading as the original Scratched but changes some imagery and has different navigation designs.

 

 

 

Stitch Pad

 

 

Stitch Pad is a simple style derived from stitching and note pads - perfect for a journal website or even your website for selling homemade clothing!

 

 

 

 

Week 1:

This week's bundle comes in the theme of "Winter Blues." Check them out!

 

 

Blue Powder

 

 

Blue Powder is a cute and fun style - perfect for teens and personal websites.

 

 

Blue Journal

 

 

Blue Journal is a Classic Tripod Blog favorite reimagined for your Zeeblio website.

 

 

Curtain Up

 

 

Curtain Up may look simple at first glance, but we have implemented a new type of Menu function where on hover of your Menu large blocks appear with your pages in a new style! Try it out in your builder to see how it functions.

 

 

My World

 

 

My World is a fun-loving template with bright blue skies and an illustrated town at the bottom of the template - check it out in your builder to see the full view!

 

 

Paris

 

 

Paris je t'adore! Use this style for your travel site, photo site, or just because you like it!

Featured Friday: Kustali Mastiffs
Topic: Featured Friday

Today’s Featured Friday Site is Kustali Mastiffs. Based out of Western Australia, this family owned company has been in business since 2008 and they take great pride in their “gentle giants”.

 


 

The site is tailored to help you decide if the Mastiff would be the right dog for you and even a form to let them know you would be interested in a puppy from the upcoming litter. The photos clearly show the how beautiful these dogs are but also where the term “giant” comes from. Check out the site today at KustaliMastiffs.com!

 

ALSO: You can now vote for the site of the month for December at siteofthemonth.tripod.com! Will it be the Kustali Mastiffs or one of your favorites from the past few weeks? You decide!

Update: FTP Outage and Denial of Service Attack
Topic: Tech News
Hi everyone -
 
My name is Chris, and I'm the general manager for Tripod and Angelfire. As some of you are aware, FTP is currently unavailable. I wanted to explain what's happened, why, and what we're doing next.
 
Tripod was hit by denial of service attack early yesterday morning. Thanks to security measures we have in place, no member accounts were violated, and no Tripod sites were harmed. However, the force of the attack did cause us to take certain parts of Tripod offline, including FTP, which was the main focus of the attack.
 
We've been working through the night, and will continue working today, to restore full service to everyone. Thank you for your patience as we restore service, and for your patronage. 
 
As soon as we have an ETA on restoring full service, we will let you know.
 
Sincerely,
Chris Cummings
General Manager

Featured Friday: KimberlyJessup.com
Topic: Featured Friday

This website was created by Kimberly Jessup's loving friends and family who wanted to have a destination for people to come together to remember the amazing life she led and for people who want to get more information about Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and the scholarship that was created in honor of her memory at North Carolina State University.

 

 

As the note on the website says... "this is a great way to honor a person that has given so much to so many. Kim had so much more left to give to us and to this world. I think it now becomes our responsibility to carry on for her."

 

We strongly recommend visiting the website to learn more about Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and Kim's endowment. Any donation to the fund helps!

 

Visit the site at KimberlyJessup.com.
