Matapat is a 2 column theme designed by Paddsolutions and converted to blogger by Anshul.

The template features a menu bar on top followed by the blog title on the left and an internal search box. This theme has separate space for the main blog categories namely Home, About and Contact with relevant icons for each section.

The highlight of this theme would be the slider where you can display your top posts or featured content that appears with post title and description. Adjacent to that are twitter, facebook and RSS subscribe buttons. To activate the icons, go to Edit Html and search for the following code -

<ul>
<li class='rss'><span><a href='FEED URL HERE' title='RSS Feed'>Subscribe via RSS</a></span></li>
<li class='email'><span><a href='http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=YOUR-URI-HERE' title='RSS Email'>Subscribe via Email</a></span></li>
<li class='twitter'><span><a class='icon-twitter' href='http://www.twitter.com/YOUR-URL-HERE'>Follow my Tweets</a></span></li>
<li class='facebook'><span><a class='icon-facebook' href='http://www.facebook.com/YOUR-URL-HERE'>Be my Facebook Fan</a></span></li>
</ul>

Add your links at relevant spots where 'Your URL Here' is mentioned. For the slider to function, you need to access Edit Html and add your links in the code below -

<li class='s3sliderImage' id='featured-1'>
<a href='YOUR-URL-HERE'><img alt='' height='283' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j82W7u9kZbs/S0tvaDXfqKI/AAAAAAAAA5k/ZrdEi3WisBk/s1600/logo+blog+navidades.jpg' width='660'/></a>
<span class='right'><strong><a href='YOUR-URL-HERE'>POST TITLE</a></strong><br/><p>POST DESCRIPTION</p></span>
</li>

Repeat the step to add more post links in the slider. In the main column each post appears in a summarised format with automatic Read More feature enabled, and at the end of each post there are nice social bookmarking icons installed for your readers to share the post, along with the related posts widget.

The single sidebar can be used to add more blogger widgets. This theme also consists of a three column footer providing you with more space to display your content.
