Using a custom blogger template on your blog is one of the few things that distinguishes it from the millions of blogs hosted on blogger. You are free to switch from the built-in blogger templates to a custom template.
This article provides a step by step guide on how to get it done. Install a custom blogger template and provide a professional and fresh look to your blog. The article is a complete tutorial for both desktop and mobile users. You can install a custom blogger template using an android smartphone or desktop.
Caution : Google has no official site to distribute blogger templates so don't install blogger templates from just any source.
To begin, most of the custom blogger template sources distribute templates in zip formats. But blogger templates are in 'xml' formats only. For this reason, you have to unzip the downloaded template so you can extract the 'xml' file. That's easy.
For desktop users, you only need unzipping softwares like '7-Zip' to extract files. And for mobile, smartphone or android users, you must install unzipping software applications like 'Easy Unrar' to extract zip files. Once the file is unzipped, you can now upload the template in 'xml' format to blogger.
