Blog Tutorial: How To Install A Free Blog Layout


For today's tutorial I have some really easy instructions that show how to install one of my free blog templates to your blog.

I updated this tutorial as I know some of you use the old Blogger interface and some of you are now using the new Blogger interface now. There are instructions and also pictures to help.

I also have another new tutorial that shows how to install one of my free blog backgrounds if you want to use one of those instead of a template.

There is a difference between the two types of blogs designs but it sounds a little confusing right?

Let me explain the difference between a template and a background.


Blog Templates:

Blog templates come with fun extras like:
-Sidebar Title Image What's this?
-Post Title Image What's this?
-Post Divider Image What's this?
-Favicon What's this?

You install a blog template through your blog HTML section.


Background usually scrolls


Blog Background:

A blog background is a stationary image behind your posts and sidebars. Some have free coordinating blog headers.

You install a blog background through your sidebar.


Background doesn't scroll

Both are extremely easy to install and take less then a minute!


I will have some new blog layouts a little later this week, but feel free to head on over and grab a new look for your blog! We have some fun Halloween and Fall designs to choose from!

  2. I'm having difficulty applying a new template to my blog. I've never had this issue before. I'm using a Mac, does that make a difference? Thanks!

    1. I use a Mac as well Micaela and it all works for me. What is the problem when you're trying to upload a blog template?

    2. I'm having issues as well, but not just the templates from this blog. I can't seem to install other free blog templates either. I thing it has to do with the way the xml code is handled in the blogger designer. I keep getting errors about incomplete template code. I even created a couple of brand new test blogs just to start fresh and I'm still getting errors with any templates I try to import, either by using the restore from xml or by pasting in the code. :(
