Nice Blogger Templates

I've decided to reactivate some of my dormant old blogs on Blogspot, some of which are more than three years old but have not been updated for over a year. My aviation blog is one of them which I started in 2005 but has not been active since last year.

It just occurred to me that that blog is important for me personally to enrich my knowledge in that sector. It is meant to discuss the fear of flying but I've since decided that I should change the concept and discuss aviation in general.

Furthermore, I kind of seeing myself as having some form of knowledge about aviation issues, having covered the sector quite extensively during my stint in the Lion City.

But I wouldn't want to reactive it with the same template so I scoured the Net and came across some very nice Blogger templates on Blogcrowd.

So I change the template (like the one this picture) so that it doesn't look too Blogger, and guess what, it comes out quite okay although there still some tweaking needed.

All you have to do is to copy the HTML code and paste it on your blog template, save the changes and you are done.

But be warned, because you'll lose all your sidebar widgets and add-ons when you do this; and you'll have to reinstall them one by one if you still need them. This can be quite frustrating if you don't have the time to tinker with the template or if your the Internet connection is slow.

But you'll be able to back up some of the widgets and put it back once you've installed your template of choice.

Gecko & Fly is another great resources for Blogger templates although one or two the templates had cross-browser compatibility issues.
