What a week for social media upgrades! On top of these Blogger design upgrades, we've got adorable little soccer balls on our #WorldCup tweets, and we can now like other people's comments on Facebook!
But back to the design upgrades. As you can see, my blog looks completely different from before - and way more awesome. I can thank the new "Blogger Template Designer" for that.
Here are some cool features:
1. It's easy to use. Just hit "Design" and the "Blogger Template Designer" appears above your blog.
2. Better templates. 'Nuf said.
3. Backgrounds. This is really cool. There are a ton of background pictures to choose from on top of the templates.
4. Layout. You can actually choose your layout, and it's not set by your template. And there are more layouts to choose from.
I was actually starting to get tired of Blogger because of the limits on my blog design. (Lack of background choices, difficult layout options, pain to change colors and lines..) But seeing this new "Design" tab on Blogger felt like Google heard my inner complaining and decided to help a brother out.
