How To Install A Blogger Customized Template

Blogger default templates are good enough for starter templates but at times they lack a certain type of spunk. This is where customized blogger templates come in.

There are a lot of sites that feature customized blogger templates for free. A good place to start would be btemplates.com or eblogtemplates.com (free registration required) where I got the design templates for TechEncounter and facebookOL. You can also do a Google search for most beautiful blogger templates and get more than a million results for customized blogger templates.

The sites have previews and demos of the templates so you have an idea which template to download. Download and extract the customized template files in an easy-to-find location.

To install a Blogger customized template, login to Blogger and click Design on the blog you want to install your customized template on.

On the Design page, click Edit HTML.

Click on Download Full Template first to save your existing template just in case you want to revert to it.

After saving your original template, click on Browse... Look for the customized template file which is usually in xml format (template.xml). Click Open then Upload. Don't forget to SAVE TEMPLATE.

Click Preview or View Blog to check out the new look of your blog. If all looks good then enjoy your new blog look, if not yet can revert to your old template or try out another customized template.
