Blogger Template Design

Blogger has a new feature available to let you design your own template and it's pretty cool. You access it through Blogger in Draft. Just go to this link and to get all the details and some hints. There is even a quick little video that shows you how it works (although it goes by rather quickly). Blogger in Draft is used by Blogger to release beta features that may be buggy but lets users try out new features they are working on. Eventually they incorporate the features into the regular Blogger but all Blogger users have access to Blogger in Draft.

Anyway, I created this cute jelly bean template pretty quickly. The advantage of this template designer is that you don't have to copy all of your gadgets to a text file and then incorporate them into a new template whenever you feel like changing to a new template. Go check it out.

Nice! I know they're jelly beans, but it's still pretty Easter-y at first sight. I really like the see-through background, too.

Rosario: Yeah, it's a bit much. I'll be changing the jelly beans to something else on Monday.

I think Blogger is really making it so much easier these days to use it. So much better than when you had to go into the coding to change things - that was always fraught with danger.

Wow, yes, so much easier. You used to have to copy all of your widgets and paste them into a new template. And now you can even change the number and layout of columns. I remember searching the internet for just the right template style and layout. Now you can create a pretty one all by yourself.
