Many newbie
bloggers opt to use blogger and wordpress as they venture in their blogging
career. Their decision to settle on any of the two platforms is because they
are always free to use. In this article I will dwell more on how to install a
new template on blogger.
After
signing up for a blogger account which is always an easy task to many, the
blogger user is always set to start posting the content of his/her choice. Well
not all are always impressed by the simple design of the available blogger templates
and always opt to have a better designed blog.
This is
always a big challenge to many since many usually lack the idea of how to
install a new template for their blog. If you are one of those who encounter
this challenge then worry no more I will explain to you to the very last detail
on what you are expected to do.
Free Blogger Templates
Blogger
usually comes with a standard selection of template designs which are always
limited when it comes to customization. Well there is always the option of
looking for more templates online. Usually there are thousands of free template
designs on the internet. You only need to Google them and select the design of
your choice. There is a variety of websites offering free blogger templates i.e
Free bloggertemplates.com. You should take your time to browse through the blog
designs and choose the best template design that suits your niche.
Once you
have chosen the template you wish to apply for your blog, download it into your
computer. The file is usually in Zip or RAR format. So for you to fully access
the template HTML code you need to extract it.
There are
also other blogger templates which are not offered for free and you always have
to pay a fee before you download it. Usually these templates always have a
professional design and are usually the most appropriate to use when you think
of monetizing a blog. There is no special process that you need to go through
for you to buy a template. You only need to Google and choose the template
design you wish then before you are given the download option, the website you
are in will prompt you to fill the payment method details then after the
payment is processed you will receive your template file.
How to apply the New Template
After you
are done with extracting the template file,
1) Log in to your blogger account
2) Click on templates.
3) Click edit HTML
Here you
will find the Code of the current template. Highlight the whole of it and
delete it. Then edit the code you extracted and paste it where you have deleted
the previous code and click on save. After it has been saved your newly
designed template is live on your blog.
