In the Blogger You can easily change the template of your blogger in new one if you are bored from the old template now started with new first you will to gain the most beneficial tips for changing template.

A word of Warning First:

 

At the outset I need to say that by applying an older style Blogger template to an existing blog you may lose some of the advanced design and layout features in the Blogger Template Designer. This may not be a drawback if you are happy to do a bit of tweaking and may actually be far better alternative than downloading a free custom Blogger Template that may have a host of compatibility problems with Blogger especially if it was released a while age. There are some pretty good free custom blogger templates out there and there are some which were thrown together and have all sorts of problems which are not easily  solvable unless you know how to code in CSS. 
                                                     
So please be warned that you may potentially lose some features in converting to an older Blogger template. For instance if you are using the Simple Default Blogger Template and already have a three column layout selected with a 2 or 3 column footer then you will find that Blogger will revert to a two column layout and place all your widgets in the sidebar

if you select an older style template. You will then need to manually add the footer and the extra sidebar. See my tutorials on how to add a 3 or 4 column footer to Blogger and how to manually add an extra column to Blogger for help with this.

I suggest before you start that you download a full back up of your template and that you upload this to a test blog to see how it looks rather than trying it out on a live blog. However if you decide go ahead and later change your mind and want to revert back to then one of the newer Blogger templates you will need to manually shift your widgets out of the sidebar using the drag and drop features in Page Elements.

How to Access Older Style Blogger Template:

 

Note: These instruction assumes you are using the updated Blogger interface. If you are using the old Blogger interface then start at step 3.   

The older style Blogger Dashboard will now be visible and displaying a list of blogs if you have more than one otherwise just the one. Click on Design from the list of links under the blog title you wish to apply the older Blogger Template to.

Select Design in the Older Blogger interface Click on the edit HTML link located under the Blogger tabs menu.

Select Edit HTML in Blogger:

 

Once on the Edit HTML page scroll to the bottom of the page and on the left you will see a heading entitled Old Templates. Click on the select Layout Template from the list. Avoid the Classic templates as these date from Blogger's First inception and are really too  old to be of use.    

Select old template layout of from Blogger Edit HTML page:

 

You will now be on the older style Blogger Template page and can scroll through and select a template. Use the preview link to see how you blog looks with one of the older style template applied . I use the Rounder 3 for adapted it to a 3 column layout.

Select Default Blogger template from the menu:

 

Once you are sure you want to change over to an older style template click on the save button to apply the older style default Blogger template to your Blogspot Blog.Click on View Blog at the right of the menus tabs to view you changes and navigate around your blog.
