Blogger Themed Templates


Another good collection of Free Themed Blogger Templates.

Classic Template List

In case you are into heavily themed Classic templates, then isnaini is for you.

Pro Blogger

Whenever I do research about templates and blogger hacking, I end up at ProBlogger. Tons of tips, not just about blogger but also Adsense, Advertising, etc. His description is "Helping Bloggers earn money".

Themed Blogger Templates

Heavily themed, classic and xml version, 2 and 3 columns templates.

Templates, tools, tips and tricks

Free-web-template has, like the it's title says, free templates and tools, tips and tricks. I stumbled upon it because this 3 column stretch template.

Blogger XML Template Sites

Like the title says, sueblimely2 has links to various 2 and 3 column Templates and Skins. You can never have enough links to free templates.

Fluid Solution Template

Tweak-everything has a blogger version of a CSS template called "Fluid Solution". Interesting look. Both that one and the tweak site have a prominent way of showcasing their adsense ads. I like the post it note version. You either "hide" the ads or highlight them. This one sure isn't hidden.

Final Sense Free Templates

Final Sense has a huge collection of free templates, both classic and XML. There are a lot of themed ones as well as 3 column ones.

3 Column Templates

thrbrtemplates is another site with free 3 column blogger templates. It also features tutorials and old blogger templates.

Gecko and Fly

Very cool site with free Blogger Templates for either the classic one or the new XML version.

Basic Three Column Blogger Templates

Check out webtalks for "New Blogger" or Blogger Beta three column templates. Basically all the default templates that Blogger gives you have now three columns. You can still choose the page elements, the colors, etc.

In this guide, we shall discuss the modification you can make to your Blog template to have your Google AdSense ads appear between your post title and post body, or between your post body and post footer.
