How to Change a Blog Theme in Blogger

Blogger is a fairly user friendly site to house your blog. It relies on simple point and click commands to make changes, including changes to your basic template. Although there are much more involved steps to customizing your blog, which include basic knowledge of HTML and FTP clients and servers, for now, we're just going to stick with the basic templates. This guide assumes you already have a blog set up through Blogger.

Difficulty:

Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Visit the Blogger website and login using your full email address and password.

2. Click on the "Layout" link on the dashboard for the blog whose theme you'd like to change. If you only have one blog, that is all you'll see listed. If you have multiple Blogger blogs, they will be listed in the dashboard in alphabetical order. All will have the "Layout" link.

3. Click on the "Pick New Template" option on the "Edit Layout" screen.

4. Choose from 16 different templates created for Blogger. Click the radio button next to the name of the theme and click "Preview Theme" to get a preview of what your blog will look like with that theme. Take note that some of the themes are offered in 2 different colors.

5. Click the "Save Template" button if you are happy with the new theme.
