I have a tip for bloggers here on blogspot who want pretty blogs but don't have the design skills (or time) to make them.
- Head to http://draft.blogger.com/home
- Click on Layout
- Click on Template Designer
- Pick the template you like the best! You can then change the backgrounds and colour schemes quite easily
Blogger in Draft has a lot of interesting new templates, and it will help those who currently have plain blogs against their will to find a more interesting design without needing to know any coding, design or to take up valuable time fiddling with graphics and code.
Here are some quick examples for you:
It is something to think about, anyway. And if you click the little check box at the top of
http://draft.blogger.com/home you will be able to use all the unreleased features every time you start a new blog from your home page. I am really liking the new Insert Picture function because it links up to my
Picasa Web Album - with all the other pictures I have ever inserted into this blog :D

ok, maybe you can answer my question! i was playing around with the drafts, and all my gadgets showed up except my followers - in the draft version it says 'no followers be the first' you know? and that freaked me out! i want to take advantage of this and make some changes but can't seem to work out if my followers will all disappear if i do it! do you know if this will happen if i make the changes???
Hi Mummazappa, I will quickly test it on one of my dummy pages... check back in about 20 minutes and I will have a reply for you :D
Okay, I just tested it with blogs that did have followers, and blogs that didn't (I have a couple of blogs I have archived). Blogs with followers didn't showed that message, blogs without did. I went and had a look on the blogger help forum, and I can't see anywhere that people lost followers using blogger in draft. I think the gadget is separate of the template - you shouldn't have any problems with it. I can't wait to see your new design!
thanks so much for checking that out! i think i should just bite the bullet and get creating :-)
