Picking the right Blog Template, is the first real test. The template is based on the purpose of the Blog, and it's been suggested that the template be ranged well, or measured up, something able to be handled by the user.
What does a News Blog Template have?
The older News Blog Templates generally had an enormous amount of options with a Flash scroller to the top right or to the top left. It was also possible in the past that the Flash scroller didn't work. These days however, just the standard Blog has a Flash scroller and quite a few options on the top bars by the header section, and most all Flash scrollers work, if not, it's possible that it was downloaded on a malfunctioning site. As time has gone by, Blogger Templates have changed quite a bit to have much greater options, and stable code.
Should I use a basic Blog Template?
A basic Blog Template usually has about "2 long sections" on the front page. The posts will be on one section [usually the left] and then on the right side it's free to put anything else you want.
The second section could be a Youtube video bar, Subscribe buttons, list of labels, etc. The Basic Templates are great to start out with when first starting to Blog. Most people get tired after a time of the same front page and eventually want more section containers to put pictures, videos, or just more information content.
Journal and Hobby Templates are fun?
Mostly the Journal and Hobby Templates are all just for fun, and can have wild colors, and even pictures of puppies to heart shapes that make the Blog fit the writer's interests.
Research and Portfolio Blog Templates work well?
Blogs can be customized, so using some of the “Basic Template Designs” and then customizing it to fit your display needs, can be best for people who want to run a Blog for a social group or a portfolio. The reason for this is because the News Blogs have too many options, and the Basic ones have too less options, but the thing is the Basic ones are clean cut and contemporary, and adding an extra section or 2 and a container isn't usually a problem.
There are some already made Portfolio Templates online if you're looking for something to display your Art, or a project that needs sections for photos with options to enlarge etc.
How to get the Template on the Blog?
Go to the Template online that you've chosen and look for a button to download it, sometimes clicking on the Template picture brings you to the download screen. Downloading will bring the file to your computer and usually in you “My Documents” file. When you find that file on your computer, UNZIP the file, and your Template will be inside. Then go to Blogger “Home interface” after you log in and select “DESIGN” tab, then click on “EDIT HTML”, there you see a bar to allow you to upload that Template file to the Blogger website. Upload the Template and then check your front page.
