What If You Don't Like The Template Choices That Blogger Has?

If you don't care for any of Blogger's own template choices then there are many websites that have other premade blog layouts specifically for Blogger.com. However I should warn you that before you put a new/different template as your new blog layout - MAKE SURE YOU MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR ORIGINAL BLOG LAYOUT! This is most important in case the blog layout that you chose "doesn't work out".

Most of these other templates involve a simple "copy and paste" method to them - which means that you are going to have to delete your blogger.com template and paste the new template in. Again I should warn you that you should make a backup copy of your original blogger.com template - just in case.

As far as that "blank space" on the side of your blog is concerned.....then there may come a time when you will find something interesting that you will want to add to the side of your blog - that is what that "blank space" is for.

As you can see from my own blog (and on other peoples' blogs as well) there are a lot of other things that you can add on the side of your blog that others (and yourself) might find quite interesting and useful.

There are a lot of widgets that are freely available online. Widges are pieces of information that one can add to the side of their blog (or website). Most of them involve you simply copying and pasting their code.

One Of My Current Projects......

One of the projects that I am currently working on for a client involves incorporating his business card into the template of his blog. I am coming to find out that this involves a lot of detailed work - especially where graphics are concerned!

I have completed the first hurdle which was adapting their business card to a format that I can use as the background for their blog. Now the next step is to work this design into the template of their blog.

I will keep you informed of my progress.

Blogger.com does provide you with some templates that you can use for your blog but you get about eight different choices and there may come a time when you want to change your blog's template to something else that's more customized.

There are a lot of great looking blogger templates out there but you are going to have to be careful if you want to use them in your own blog. Before making any changes to your blog's template make sure that you make a back-up copy of your template. That way if you make a mistake or mess up your template then you will still have a copy of your original template.
