Blog Templates

I know Wordpress  is loved by one and all, but in my opinion and experience, for a quick entry  into the Blogging world,  Blogger  is the best platform, especially, if you want to use adsense, straight away.  
I found that I had to be very creative with Blogger templates selected, as the offering was rather limited. The limited choice and colourways, did however, give me a great  opportunity to dabble with HTML code, as it appeared to be quite easy to 'tinker' with.

Caution - Always back up your template before changing the HTML code. That is obvious, really!
    

It took me quite sometime to find a site that offers the best blogger templates, all in one place. No matter how long I spent  surfing the net for a suitable design for my subject, I found that invariably, I returned to Blogger.


I may change to Wordpress sometime, when I need all the fancy plug ins etc. Until then I am qite happy with Blogger. Besides, I don't have the time at the moment to switch over!

One final word of warning - No matter how many templates a designer has produced, it doesn't guarantee that the templates they design are easy to work with.  Some may look extremely professional and just what you require, however when you attempt to add specific gadgets or need to add your own logo to a header, that can be the time your frustration level is tested.

Always, always check that all functionality within the layout works and also ensure that you are 100% happy, before commencing to launch your blog to the world.

Oftentimes,  if you have a question or problem about the non function of part of the design, it can take quite a time, before you obtain a response from the designer.

Btemplates which is a gallery that shows, describes and ranks the best templates for Google’s platform for blogs. It produced the first blogger templates gallery in March 2008 and currently has the largest collection of templates. The majority of bloggers who promote templates for blogger, I have found tend to include many templates from Btemplates.
