Big Head is a 2 column blogger theme created by Pocket. His themes are original and quite different then the regular blogger templates.

The design comprising a big head man on the right and the sign board on the left is ideal for a personal or people blog. The main column has the date above the post headline and author name, comments and labels appears below the post. Its on a plain white background while the sidebar has the subscribe option, you can use a black RSS icon there.

Green is an Attractive Colour

noreply@blogger.com (Habib) — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 20:38:00 -0700

Green is an attractive colour is actually a template by Bontoo called, Hijau Itu Menawan, Cahaya translated the name for me, which I am grateful for! Anyway lets take a look at what this template has to offer us.

Hijau itu menawan, is a unique template in terms of design, it starts of with two hand drawn people with red hearts speaking. One of them introduces the blog, as the speech bubble holds the blog title and blog description.

Apart from that the entire page layout has a nice design, the time stamp is displayed in a cloud that floats outside the main column, besides the post headline. The headline is in a section created with a similar hand drawn image of the person, only this time hes looking at the post.

Under the post section is the posted by author, then there seems to be a tiny bug with the post date repeating twice, and there are no labels displayed. But under this is a separator that holds the comments count.

Each section in the sidebar starts off with a flower icon and each line has a nice little icon on the left of it. The entire template is on a background of clouds, this makes it really attractive.

Dark Mistry a Gorgeous Blogger Template

noreply@blogger.com (Habib) — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 20:36:00 -0700

Here's another creation from Ray Creations India, Dark Mistry is an original creation for wordpress and blogger. I seem to particularly like this theme, the colour, design and the look of it are quite appealing.

Although this is a simple two column template, its intricate design makes it stand out as compared to many two column templates. The template starts off with a fascinating image of a tree with water around it, casting its reflection with a few rocks scattered around.

The blog title and description are placed just above the horizon in the design which gives it the feel of a separator. The two columns look like they have been bound together, the main column starts off with the headline, and then a grey rounded strip below it holds the Author, Time and Comments stamps with neat icons.

Random spirals are found in many places, whats particularly interesing is the seperate section for each widget in the sidebar. This kindof adds to the templates design, the sidebar begins with subscribe to the feed icons. The footer puts a nice end to this theme thats more design that feature focused.

noreply@blogger.com (Habib) — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 20:34:00 -0700

noreply@blogger.com (Habib) — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 20:33:00 -0700

Blue Bubbles is another beautiful template designed by Ray Creations. The 2 column template can be used for travel or nature blog.
The highlight of this template would be the header image and the artistic design around it, that instantly catches the eye, although you might find the header a bit similar to the Blue Blog. Adjacent to that is the menu bar and blog title. The theme has rounded corners which gel with the blue bubbles theme.

Then the rest of the design is quite simple. The main column has the author, date stamp and comments below the headline, with corresponding icons next to it. After each post there is 'Go to the top' link, so readers don't have to scroll all the way to the top.

The single sidebar has each section in a rounded blue bubble box, so you can add the remaining content. You can have a welcome message for your readers, blog archives, recent posts, comments and so on. Even the footer has a 'Go to the top' link on the right.

I am always happy to come across a new designer or porter for blogger templates. Today we are introducing Dante Araujo a designer who has quite a few original blogger templates, lets take a look at his Dreamy Blogger Skin.

Well this template has very pleasant colours, pastel shades and mini posts on the homepage. Well it automatically picks up the first image makes it a thumbnail and displays it on your home page.

The template starts off with the blog title and description on the left, a couple of links on the right along with a search bar. The main container starts with a rounded navigation menu, then you have the mini posts with the headline, labels and comment number.

There is a sidebar on the right that has a simplistic design, over all this template has a good design and does well for a two column template!

The Puppet Template

noreply@blogger.com (Habib) — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 20:32:00 -0700

The Puppet Template for blogger was brought to you by Klodian, who ported EZwpthemes theme for wordpress.

The puppet blogger theme is a simple two column template that has a fancy navbar that finds itself mixed with the header image. Just above the header section there is a strip that holds the title and the description. The right of it is the subscribe to feed RSS icon.

The search bar finds itself amidst the navigation size, the icons seem to be hanging with strings, this is perhaps why the theme gets the puppet title. The first section of the sidebar is tilted to one side and has a welcome message for your blog visitors.

There are minor flaws in the design, like the little glitch between the rounded parts and the sections. The template ends with a footer design of a city landscape, if you like ahead it go ahead and download it!

Green Leaves Blogger Theme

noreply@blogger.com (Habib) — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 20:30:00 -0700

If green is your colour then Green Leaves blogger theme would be a good choice. Created by Ray Creations, the 2 column template has a simple but yet pleasing design.
The template starts off with a narrow navigation bar on a black background, that's where you place your Home, RSS, Contact links etc. The blog title and description appears on the right below the menu bar. Then the main column, which is on a white background, has the author name, time stamp and comments in a rectangular box below the headline. While the labels appear at the end of each post.

Ray Creations templates always come with rounded columns, that somehow look better then the square edges. The single sidebar is divided into boxes, so each section comes in neatly designed light green box, followed by its content in transparent boxes. There are no additional features in this template or a search box.

Photografia, the Photo Blogger Template

noreply@blogger.com (Habib) — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 20:17:00 -0700

Photografia Blogger Template is a photographer's delight. Created by Templates Novo Blogger, Photografia would by far be the best theme I have seen on blogger for a photography blog.

This 2 column template is different then the conventional photo blog designs. It has lot more features that allows you to display your best photographs, write about it and even create your portfolio page. The home page has a mirrored menu bar consisting five boxes, which are fixed since its part of the background. Even if you don't have links to put in the five boxes, it will stay. For instance you can add page links like 'Home', 'About', 'Contact', 'Subscribe' and 'Portfolio' from Layout-Page Elements.

Below that is the slide show to exhibit your photos, you can upload images on photo-sharing sites, preferably 750x500, and click on Edit Html to place the image url. Search for this code -

<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'>
<div id='s3slider'>
<ul id='s3sliderContent'>
<li class='s3sliderImage'>
<img src=' put url of the image here'/>
<span> text-to-be-displayed </ span>
</ li>

The single column on the left side is customisable to suit your requirements, you can add any of the blogger gadgets available. Since the home page has a fixed height it would be better to put one or two widgets in the sidebar, because the more you add it tends to look untidy.

You can also display thumbnail images which expand when clicked, so the reader clicks on a thumbnail and gets to see the larger version of the image without having to leave the current page. For this you can activate the lightbox feature, by placing the following code in your internal page.

<a href=" url of image "rel="lightbox"> <img border="0" src=" url of image" style="height: 110px; width: 110px;" /> </ a>

You can create a 'Portfolio' page and add the above code to display thumbnail images. The images appear on black background that goes perfectly well with any picture. Photografia Blogger Template would definitely be our choice when we start our photo blog.

Night Sky Blogger Theme

noreply@blogger.com (Habib) — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 20:14:00 -0700

Night Sky is a beautiful blogger theme created by Ray Creations. They create more visually appealing templates, but they aren't feature-rich.
The 2 column template has a lovely header, although the rest of the layout is quite simple. The plants, stars and the clouds make up for an attractive image where you can add your blog title and a short description. There is a thin strip for the menu bar right at the top to display your categories.

The main column is quite broad, starting with the headline and date, while below that comes in the author name and comments. The rounded sidebar, which also has a white background, can be used to add the About the blog section, followed by labels, archives etc. The template ends also with a nice footer image. Night Sky theme can be used for a nature or a personal blog.

Solution Blogger Template

noreply@blogger.com (Habib) — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 20:14:00 -0700

Business blogger templates are not easily found but thanks to Klodian for converting this template created by Template Mo we now have another corporate template for blogspot the Solution blogger theme!

The Solution Blogger Template though not as powerful as the original version that comes with a three column footer easily passes off as a professional looking corporate theme.

The header image is what perhaps gives the theme its entire feel, the template starts off with the blog title on the top left with the description below it. Under that is the navigation bar with a nice set of on select and hover tabs. Then is the header image and below that you have the main column and single sidebar on the right hand side.

Unfortunately there is nothing unique about the post area etc, its quite similar to any other template with the author, date, labels and comment count found just below the green headline. The light blue links kind of bring some life to this template along with the headline color.

Its a relatively simple template with a business angle to it!

Funky & Elegant Dashboard Themes

noreply@blogger.com (Habib) — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 19:31:00 -0700

We always extend a warm welcome to new members of the blogger template community, and an original designer is an additional boost to this network. Today we have the Funky and Elegant Dashboard templates created by Blogger Dashboard, they are two separate themes but extremly similar so I have clubbed both of them together for you.

The two themes as you can see have a very similar design, the structural layout is exactly the same. The only difference is the colours, icons and small design changes here and there. Apart from that lets take a look at what these dashboard templates have to offer.

The template starts off with a section to hold the blog title on the left and a leader board advertisement on the right. Just under that is the navbar with a cool hover on effect. Then comes a nice featured post slider widget that seems to be very smooth and quick to load, unlike most that we have seen.

The post section is well defined, starting off with a small date, the headline follows with a italic font and its also highlighted. There read more function is enabled and at the end of the post you find the posted by, labels and comment count.

The sidebar has its own unique search bar in the start and each section comes with a unique icon to distinguish itself. There is a island advertisement location strategically placed here, while the footer puts a lovely end to this template.

As you can see the footer has three columns for both these templates, the only difference is the icon at the header of both of them. This doesn't mean these templates aren't good, they are original designs for blogger, and definitely make their way in the premium two column template category!

Andreas04 Blogger Template

noreply@blogger.com (Habib) — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 23:38:00 -0700

The andreas04 template is created by Andreas Vikund the creator of the Andreas series of templates for wordpress blogs. The template was made avialable to us by Gecko & Fly.

Andreas04 for beta blogger is a very simple template that is extremly easy to customize, take a look at how we customized Andreas04 for Fractal Enlightenment. Although this template had an extremly frustrating bug, everytime we tried to add something to the right hand side column it would drop down.

So everytime you add a new element in the andreas04 sidebar top container you will have to go to the edit html section, expand widget templates and remove this code < name =" 'quickedit'"> from the widget you had just added. We found this solution on blogcrowds after a lot of searching.

Neo Templates for Blogger

noreply@blogger.com (Habib) — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 23:37:00 -0700

Ramani from Hackosphere created a template that would work efficiently in blogger beta by loading one column at a time. Suppose some one clicks on an article link on your blog, instead of the whole blog loading only the main post column will refresh to display the selected article.

The template is a simple three column template that can be seen in the screenshot below.

Arephyz then modified this fast loading template and gave it some rounded corners and made it quite beautiful as you can see in the screen shot below.

You can take a look at the neo template in the non functional psychedelic music blog. I am facing a slight problem where the added elements in the sidebar do not get the same background as the other elements, although I have not made the time to search for a fix yet. Heres a guide on how to install the neo template.

Another beautiful three column template created by Flisterz for wordpress and ported by Jack. Take a look at a screenshot of the FTW Blogger template below.

You can also see a live version of this template that I was using for my games blog. Now the blog has two widgets which will not allow you to rearrange the elements in the sidebars to fix this you have to

1. Go to your template editor (Do not tick, expand widgets.)
2. Find widget name blog2
3. Remove that widget.
4. Save your template and done.

To have the calender like the one on the games blog, make sure that your time stamp looks like this:

Go to your Blogger dashboard, click on settings and then formatting. You would find a place to change the timestamp format setting. Set it to this format “Friday, September 07, 2007”, once done you will be able to see the calendar date on your posts just like the one on this blog.

Erudite is a rather open style blogger template, if you take a look at the demo over here, you will notice the border of the main container vanishing into thin air, which I feel is a problem with the sidebar padding. The image of the car is elegant, which makes it a default contender for an auto blog.
But you can change the image to suit your needs, it provides a nice feed icon that can float links over the header image in a nice opaque container.

This blogger template was originally created by Perfect Blogging and the XML version by Gecko & Fly.

You may face a problem where the sidebar drops down on the addition of a widget, you need to go to the edit html section, expand widget templates and remove this code < name =" 'quickedit'"> from the widget you had just added.

The Erudite blogger template is also available in a two column version.
