Description:

Many newbie bloggers opt to use blogger and wordpress as they venture in their blogging career. Their decision to settle on any of the two platforms is because they are always free to use. In this article I will dwell more on how to install a new template on blogger.

After signing up for a blogger account which is always an easy task to many, the blogger user is always set to start posting the content of his/her choice. Well not all are always impressed by the simple design of the available blogger templates and always opt to have a better designed blog.

This is always a big challenge to many since many usually lack the idea of how to install a new template for their blog. If you are one of those who encounter this challenge then worry no more I will explain to you to the very last detail on what you are expected to do.

Free Blogger Templates

Blogger usually comes with a standard selection of template designs which are always limited when it comes to customization. Well there is always the option of looking for more templates online. Usually there are thousands of free template designs on the internet. You only need to Google them and select the design of your choice. There is a variety of websites offering free blogger templates i.e Free bloggertemplates.com. You should take your time to browse through the blog designs and choose the best template design that suits your niche.

Once you have chosen the template you wish to apply for your blog, download it into your computer. The file is usually in Zip or RAR format. So for you to fully access the template HTML code you need to extract it. There are also other blogger templates which are not offered for free and you always have to pay a fee before you download it. Usually these templates always have a professional design and are usually the most appropriate to use when you think of monetizing a blog. There is no special process that you need to go through for you to buy a template. You only need to Google and choose the template design you wish then before you are given the download option, the website you are in will prompt you to fill the payment method details then after the payment is processed you will receive your template file.

How to apply the New Template

After you are done with extracting the template file,
1)    Log in to your blogger account
2)    Click on templates.
3)    Click edit HTML

Here you will find the Code of the current template. Highlight the whole of it and delete it. Then edit the code you extracted and paste it where you have deleted the previous code and click on save. After it has been saved your newly designed template is live on your blog.
