Three Designs chosen in the Last Two Weeks

Choosing a theme or template for a Blogspot blog can be a little challenging and sometimes perplexing. I've chosen three different blogs for this site in the last couple weeks due to functionality problems. A site called Btemplates offers some really well designed XML themes that are easy to download and very quick to install on Blogspot blogs. Normally, they perform exceptionally well and the designs are all that I hope for and more in a free theme so I can't complain.

I recommend that you test the themes before you announce your blog to the world because I found a few problems with some of the more intricate sites in their functionality. One of my blogs was rejected by a paid blogging company because it failed to load and another took so long to show the content section that my advertiser canceled the campaign. Due to this occasional problem, I suggest that you take a few days to test your blog by adding images and posts before you settle on its theme. It might look good but if it doesn't perform it is not worth keeping.

What's the solution? 

Keep shopping until you find two or three that you like. Save the XML themes in a folder and test them over the period of a week. If the site continues to function normally then you most likely have a winner!

Happy Blogging!
