Newest Blogger Templates (2)

Business blogger templates are not easily found but thanks to Klodian for converting this template created by Template Mo we now have another corporate template for blogspot the Solution blogger theme!
Solution Blogger Template
The Solution Blogger Template though not as powerful as the original version that comes with a three column footer easily passes off as a professional looking corporate theme.

The header image is what perhaps gives the theme its entire feel, the template starts off with the blog title on the top left with the description below it. Under that is the navigation bar with a nice set of on select and hover tabs. Then is the header image and below that you have the main column and single sidebar on the right hand side.

Unfortunately there is nothing unique about the post area etc, its quite similar to any other template with the author, date, labels and comment count found just below the green headline. The light blue links kind of bring some life to this template along with the headline color.

Its a relatively simple template with a business angle to it!

Beauty Blog Template is another incredibly designed theme by Templates Novo Blogger. The 4 column template has a neat layout and is ideal for a beauty, lifestyle, fashion and people blog. Beauty Blog Blogger Template
I really liked the colour scheme of Beauty Blog template, shades of pink, blue and white blend well to give it a pretty look. The header has an image on the right, which can be customised if you know bit of Photoshop, below that is a horizontal menu to display your sections. You can add your blog sections from Layout-Page Elements and click on edit link list.

The summary of each posts automatically appears on the home page with thumbnails of the images used. This way you can display 8 posts on the home page in pink and blue boxes. The sidebar too has something like a featured posts section or popular posts where only the images display and you can add captions, title and the destination URL.

Below that comes a search box integrated in the template, and that can be followed by widgets of your choice or a sidebar ad.

Originally designed by Template Lite, Wooden Fence is a 3 column blogger template converted to this platform by Falcon Hive. Wooden Fence Blogger Theme
As the name goes, the main background of this template is a wooden fence with a colorful nature design in the header. The header image looks quite cool, it has photos hanging on a clothing line against the blue skies, next to it on the right you have to add your blog title and description.

Each post appears in a box that is nailed on the fence, that gives it a neat effect. The date stamp and author appears below the headline, while the labels and comments come at the end of the post. The sidebar has a search box stuck to the fence and then the column splits into two to help you add the rest of the blogger features.
Wooden Fence is suited for a personal blog, daily ramblings etc.

Smoky template has been converted to blogger by Free Blogger Template and originally designed by Skinpress. Smoky Blogger Theme
The 2 column theme has an interesting layout. The header is narrow so there is just about enough space to fit your blog title, and at bottom right of it is the search box. Now comes the interesting part, Smoky template has a featured posts in the form of a numbered slider. So on clicking the number, the corresponding slide or featured post shows up, where you can add post headline, few lines of the post and an image. Each slider also comes with the 'read more' link at the bottom.

To add content for featured posts, go to Edit HTML, search for the code below and change the links.

<div id='board_body'>
<h2>Featured Posts</h2>
<div id='board_carusel'>
<div class='belt'>
<div class='board_item'>
<!-- board_item -->
<p><img alt='IMG ALT' src='IMAGE URL'/><strong><a href='YOUR POST URL'></a></strong> YOUR POST SUMMARY...</p>

<p class='more'><a href='YOUR POST URL'>Readmore</a></p>
<!-- /board_item -->

Adjacent to that is the twitter icon to link your twitter profile. Then comes the navigation bar to browse through the sections on your blog, this bar also has a dropdown menu to add sub-categories.

The main column has the regular layout. The post headline and below that is the labels, time stamp and a speak out icon. Each post has the Read more feature integrated that gives a neat look to the blog. The sidebar has got the subscribe option on top and then ad space to place sponsorship links etc. Then you can add any blogger widgets of your choice.

BCute is a good looking two column blogger template made by Skinpress for wordpress and converted to blogger by Deluxe templates.
BCute Blogger Template
Its not very often that you come across a two column template that looks good and has functional features, this is exactly what the BCute template has to offer. It starts off with an artistic header with the title and description on the left. The top right has the RSS feed icon and below that is a menu bar to navigate through your blog.

There's a little arrow icon on the right hand side links of the sidebar.

Photografia Blogger Template is a photographer's delight. Created by Templates Novo Blogger, Photografia would by far be the best theme I have seen on blogger for a photography blog.
photografia, the photo blogger template
This 2 column template is different then the conventional photo blog designs. It has lot more features that allows you to display your best photographs, write about it and even create your portfolio page. The home page has a mirrored menu bar consisting five boxes, which are fixed since its part of the background. Even if you don't have links to put in the five boxes, it will stay. For instance you can add page links like 'Home', 'About', 'Contact', 'Subscribe' and 'Portfolio' from Layout-Page Elements.

Below that is the slide show to exhibit your photos, you can upload images on photo-sharing sites, preferably 750x500, and click on Edit Html to place the image url. Search for this code -

<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'>
<div id='s3slider'>
<ul id='s3sliderContent'>
<li class='s3sliderImage'>
<img src=' put url of the image here'/>
<span> text-to-be-displayed </ span>
</ li>

The single column on the left side is customisable to suit your requirements, you can add any of the blogger gadgets available. Since the home page has a fixed height it would be better to put one or two widgets in the sidebar, because the more you add it tends to look untidy.

You can also display thumbnail images which expand when clicked, so the reader clicks on a thumbnail and gets to see the larger version of the image without having to leave the current page. For this you can activate the lightbox feature, by placing the following code in your internal page.

<a href=" url of image "rel="lightbox"> <img border="0" src=" url of image" style="height: 110px; width: 110px;" /> </ a>

photografia, photo blogger templateYou can create a 'Portfolio' page and add the above code to display thumbnail images. The images appear on black background that goes perfectly well with any picture. Photografia Blogger Template would definitely be our choice when we start our photo blog.

I am a fan of Jinsona, I think Web 2 Feel has some of the best free templates available from wordpress. Thanks to Cahaya Biru so many of these templates have been made available for Blogspot. Today we have the Daily Planet blogger template in two versions for blogger!
Daily Planet A
There are a few differences between the two templates lets take a look at these first. The Daily Planet A is a direct conversion from the wordpress theme. This means it comes complete with mini posts on the home page with auto read more. While B is a simpler version that does not have the read more and has full posts on the home page.

Apart from this both these templates come complete with all the features of a premium template. It starts off with a header that you can easily change, under that is a navigation menu. Then the featured post section, the stories from this spot are also displayed in the sidebar.

Under the posts section is a tabbed widget that allows you to showcase quite a bit of content. This section ends with a division of the main column into three sections. While the sidebar also has a tab section under the search bar which is placed after the featured posts.
Daily Planet B
The sidebar then splits up into two columns, making this an extremely functional magazine style design for your blogspot blog.

The Magasin Uno Blogger Template was created by Padd IT Solutions and converted to blogger by Alvaris.
Magasin Uno Blogger Template
Around a year ago there was a severe shortage of themes for blogger, at that time finding a magazine template was rare. But now with increasing number of porters and developers there seems to be enough of choice to satisfy any professional blogger.

The Magasin Uno template adds to the collection of powerful functional themes for blogspot. This template starts off with a section for Google adsense link units right on top. Under that on the left we have the blog title while the right holds a leaderboard advertisement.

Under that is a cross column navigation bar that has a search bar integrated into it on the right hand side. Just below the navigation is a featured slide show o0n the left hand side while the right hand side holds the sidebar.

The main column is divided into two sections that holds mini posts along with a thumbnail image with the read more function. The sidebar starts off with a feed icon, then comes the twitter updates. Under that are 125 x 125 ad boxes and the ability for you to add widgets.

The speciality of monezine is that it enables you to monetize your blog, the featured content slider in this blog allows you to insert a leaderboard advertisement on each of these slides.

After that starts the main column, the best part about this template is that you do not need to put code for the readmore as its automatically done by the template. Under the headline we have the posted by author stamp and the date with complimenting icons.

Where the mini post on the home page ends there is a thin seperator line with the read more link with an icon on the right and a comment count on the left with a speech bubble icon. The sidebar is multicolumn, a single column that branches off into two, with a three column tab widget built into it along with ad boxes.

Magazine templates always fascinate me, today's template makes me filled with joy, a premium magazine template built for blogger and not ported from wordpress like the Zinmag series. The Bmagazine premium blogger template has been built by a fellow countryman Nitesh Kothari.
Bmagazine premium blogger template
Its a difficult template to describe and by far the most feature rich template that I have come across for blogger. Nitesh has done a massive job, he also uses this template for his own website.

A small section above the blog title makes way for a date display, a single line to update your visitor list, a RSS subscribe for comments and post, a neat bunch of Home, About, Contact etc links with nice icons.

Next comes the blog title with space for a big leader board advertisement to fit in there on the right. We then come to a multi level drop down, possible to have category - sub category - sub sub category - sub sub sub category, although it does take a little while to load.

The next section is divided into three columns, a popular post widget with a rss link again, an about me section with a lovely hover on image effect, the third one is a subscribe to this blog section.

Under this in the main column you have two more sections where you can add widgets and then the posts start complete with a read more function, though theres no link leading to the full post forcing users to click on the headline, which some may not know.

The social bookmark icons are integrated at the top rather than the bottom, though there is a neat comments icon. Under the headline is the author and post stamp at the bottom of the mini post are the labels.

The sidebar starts off with three ad boxes, has a single column section and then splits into two unequal sections. Then we come to the footer once again is feature rich.
Bmagazine premium template footer
A three column footer for the bmagazine template, but what makes it unique is the follow me twitter icon and the up and down scroll bar on the left hand side. This makes this one of the most impressive templates we have come across till date! Kudos to Nikhil!
