You might have noticed that I had recently changed my blog template/design. Although I like the Blogger engine, it lacked some of the really good looking templates which WordPress.com has. So I did a search around on the web and found this website, pYzam (http://www.pyzam.com/bloggertemplates).
It has many Blogger templates which are available for free. Some groovy, some dark, some bright, some are scenic and some abstract ones too. The choice is almost unlimited. I say almost, because if you look closely, you will notice they follow a basic style of two-columns in square boxes, with a header box which displays the blog's name and description and depending on the theme you choose, the background is different with different combinations of colours. Still for me, its more choice, and I like to have choice. The default templates provided by Blogger are great, but it would be nice to have more :-)
Applying the new template is not rocket science either. You just sign-in into your Blogger dashboard, select "Layout" and then "Edit HTML" and then copy and paste your new template into the HTML text area. However be warned, any widgets you added previously may get deleted. You may want to edit the new template to include the widgets you added previously, or just make a back-up and add the widgets again afterwards. You might have already noticed that many of my links have disappeared because of applying this new template.
Anyway give it a go if you have a Blogger blog. There are other things at pYzam which may tickle your fancy too, so take a look around. Enjoy!
