There are many people using Google's blogspot platform for their blogging uses. Blogger is the most simplest and the easiest way to get yourself on to the top of Blogging. Though, independent wordpress installation is the best Blogging platform one can have, Blogspot platform has a considerable upperhand over Wordpress's hosted blogging solution. The major reason for that is that you have option to monetize your Blogspot blogs whereas you can't monetize upon your wordpress blogs. Moreover, Blogspot has lots and lots of gadgets that make it easy for you to blog. The single most lacking feature of Blogspot till recently, was its support for templates. Though, Blogger provided default templates, they were far from being called good. It allows you to customize HTML to make your own templates, but they require advanced knowledge. Looks like Blogger has listened to all our requests. Now, you can make your own Blogger template for free using Blogspot's recently released template designer.

To change the look of your template and customize according to your needs, follow the steps below:

• Firstly, go to Blogger Draft Site.The blogger draft site is nothing but another version of Google's Blogger site with experimental features. You can consider it as a beta for Blogger.com
• From your Dashboard, now go to the Layout section of your blog.
