How to Format Blogspot Blogs
When formatting your Blogspot or Blogger blog, you have a few available options. You can format the blog's overall layout and its elements via the "Formatting" tab under the settings or you can format an individual blog post as you type it out, and before you publish it on your site. Google's Blogger platform gives you plenty of options to control the format, style and layout of your blog.
