The Ultimate Blogger Template Resource List
March 30, 2008 Filed under: Blogger Templates 11 Comments
Searching for Blogger template providers and designers can be a time consuming task. Through my research for various articles posted here, I have discovered many providers of free and custom made Blogger templates which I have listed below by category:
- Free XML Blogger Template Providers and Directories
- Classic Blogger Template Providers
- Professional Blog Template Designers who cater for the Blogger platform
Where possible, I have also linked to the feed for these sites to help you be updated of new templates as they become available.
I hope this resource list will be useful for you too!

My name is Amanda Fazani and I write Blogger Buster to help other Blogger users make the most of their Blogger blogs.
Hey amanda nice lists thank you =)
Great lists! One question, when I download a template and add it to my blog it is still in Spanish. How do I get it translated once I have added it??
go to edit html from your blogger dashboard
expand widgets
search spanish words in template codes
and traslate!

Amanda - not only do you have a great site, but very informative posts, such as this one!
I didn't exactly find a template that I liked, but your site inspired me to learn coding and design my own template. I'm glad I did, and your site and useful information was what helped it all come together!
Thanks - and hopefully you have a moment to check out the site that was inspired by your blog!
