Look What I Found!
A Fun and Easy Way to Change the Look of Your Blog!

I'm probably the last person to find out about this...but...if I'm not, I'll share with you. Blogger has this really cool new way to design the look of your blog! That's why my blog looks different (again). It's called Blogger in Draft. All you have to do is sign in to draft.blogger.com. This will take you to your dashboard. Dashboard will look the way it usually does, except for the option to check "Make Blogger in Draft my default dashboard." Check this option if you want to keep messing with the look of your blog. Click on Layout. Layout will look like it usually does, except there is a new option (near the top of the page) called Template Designer. Clicking on this will take you to lots of cool design and color options. You can use a slider to adjust column widths. They even have background patterns and pictures your can add! I like this! Even posting is improved! I am still tweaking, but I think this is fun! If you use it, leave a post so I can take a look at your creation. Enjoy!

Have questions? Help for Blogger Template Designer can be found here.

  3. This is really fantastic. Thanks for sharing! How in the world did you find this? I love the adjusting of the widths. I would always do it on my own, what a pain.

    Thanks!

  6. Hey Doreen, sounds like you might have an edge with blogger. Maybe you can help me??? Since they updated blogger I can no longer place a link in my photos. I have tried everything. I have emailed blogger, gone to the forums wit no reply. Haaa what else is new. I have even tried going back to the old editor. Do you have any ideas?

    Thanks
