Change Yours Default Blogger Template

Great, now you already have your personal blog!

After followed the instruction about how to build a blog in my previous post, you can see display of your blog with its default template. Maybe you would start to think that you want a different site from others (imagine how many people are using the default template since blogger.com has millions members). Fortunately, blogger.com give us an option to change our blog with custom template. This is one of the reason that's why I choose blogger.com as my blog host. You can notice that this blog has a different template that can't be find at blogger.com. I wrote the commentary in the first post.

Now you want to know how to change default template to your custom one. The steps are :
  1. Find the template that you wish to put at your blog. You can find custom template at Blogger Templates or other place which you can find by googling at bottom of this blog.
  2. After choose the new template, you must copy the xml code by select all the text and click control-C just like copying text in word processor.
  3. Login to your blogger account and then click "template" below your blog name. After that, click "Edit HTML" tab and you can find the xml code for your default template. Paste your new template code and save your template.
  4. That's it. Now your blog will have a new display. Your post will be display just like before so you don't have to worry to lose them.
To see the new display of your blog, just click the "View Blog" tab beside the template blog at your dashboard.

You can change your template as many as you want by repeat these steps. Hope you like it.
