New Blogger Templates

When you start a "Blogger" blog, you are asked to choose a template. You may be disappointed because there are not many to choose from. If you want to have a different style, you may create your own, but that takes a lot of time and effort. However, I have found a great post from Blogger Buster, called 101 Excellent Blogger XML Templates. There are many beautiful templates in this list and they are available as free downloads.

Blogger Buster is a great resource for Blogger information and hacks. I recently used her "create your own recent comments widget" to add a list of recent comments to the sidebar of each of my blogs. You can create your own by using the code generator on this page. I think that adding this sidebar may help to encourage readers to read the comments and to post comments of their own.
