When we launched the Blogger Template Designer to Blogger in Draft in March, you gave us a lot of feedback and suggestions. Our blog post received nearly 1,000 comments and many of you shared your blog’s new looks on Twitter using #newbloggertemplate. Since the launch, we fixed many bugs and added even more themes and background images. But the Blogger Template Designer has only been available on Blogger in Draft, which is why we’re excited to announce that the Blogger Template Designer is now available to everyone.
There are now much more templates available for you, 19 in total, which you could then customize in a lot of ways. There a couple of main templates, each with multiple variations. Once you selected one that fits your tastes, you could choose the color palette from a number of presets. Of course, you can also select each individual color. You can also pick from one of numerous of background images available.
The last step is choosing a layout for your template and, if you’re pleased with the results, you’re done, a fresh and new blog looks in minutes. If you are not satisfied with the results, you could also dig down into the more personal choices to improve the appearance like text font and color. Finally, if the appearance still aren’t satisfied, you can insert your own CSS to replace the default layout. This somehow removes the aim of a simple template editor, but i think it’s good to have options. The new Template Designer feature is already live and available to everyone now.
