How To Get And Upload A Custom Template To Blogger

How do I get and upload a custom template to blogger?

I have seen loads of cool blogger templates on other blogs but my blog is just boring - a classic blogger template.

Changing the blogger template is actually really simple and only requires, at most, six easy steps. All the steps are pictured in screen shot form to make it easier for you to understand.

Step 1:

Do a Google search for free blogger templates. Choose any of the sites listed, but for the tutorials sake choose the third one down (eblogtemplates.com).




Step 2:

Browse the website under the Blogger category and choose a template you like





Step 3:

Download the template of your choice. Go to the folder containing your file and right click on the zipped folder and click 'extract all'.




Step 4:

Logon to Blogger and navigate to 'Layout' and then 'Edit HTML'.





Step 5:

There you will see a field, click the button next to it that says browse. A Windows Explorer window will then appear. You should then locate your file which will be an XML document.





Step 6:

Finally, click the button next to browse when you have chosen the file you want to open which reads upload.

Once the uploading has finished (should only take a few seconds) you will see a yellow box appear. It should say 'Your changes have been saved. View Blog.' Click on the view blog part. Your blog will then open and you will be able to see your new blog design.

TIP: You should frequently (one a month) change your blogs design because if the same person visits your site everyday they may get tired of the same theme and stop visiting your blog. Readers want a fresh look to your blog.
