Ele blogger template is brought to you by Inspired Spark and converted to Blogspot by Girly Blogger.
This two column template has a simple look and design with rounded corners, something which many bloggers prefer. The header has a flowery design with the menu bar overlapping the header. Below the customised menu you can place your Adsense ads.

The main column has a standard format, you can alter the size of the date stamp, I feel its too big. While at the bottom of the post appears the author name, which is not clearly visible, labels and comments.

The sidebar has the RSS and technorati buttons nicely tucked in and two ad slots below it, while the rest of the layout is pretty much the same. Blog Archives if you notice, has a dropdown unlike the regular style. If you have a personal blog, then Ele template is a good choice.

An original design by WP Themes Master was ported to Blogger by Girly Blogger, a dark diary style template to join the never ending list of notepad & diary style themes.

The Diary Online template is a simple notepad style two column template, although you may notice that the fonts used are strikingly big and have immense clarity.

The color scheme is flouro on dark making it attractive, apart from the minimal header image this template has nothing fancy to it. The bottom of the posts find the comment and labels icons while under the headline lies the date and author stamp.

The single sidebar finds itself on the right of the main column with the same font that is standard throughout the blog. Though the top of the sidebar an image that makes the first widget stand out. The rest of it is fairly plain, some of the widgets have a dotted green border while the end of the footer finds itself with a green line.

Polaroid press is a refreshing new two column template that has a very natural feel to it. This template has a Polaroid picture where you can put your own image in the start of the left hand side sidebar. Above it are the suns rays that make their way through the clouds in the blue sky!

The background of the blog changes color from blue to brown, all the colours are natural pastel shades. The blog also features a navigation menu on the top right where the navbar is with an RSS icon.

The main section has nicely designed comment counts, labels and dates. The comment count is besides the headline while the rest is under it. The sidebar is simple apart from the Polaroid picture. The blog ends with a link section in the footer and a subscribe icon there as well!

Gramophonica is an attractive musical theme designed by EZwpthemes and converted to Blogger by Falcon Hive. This two-column blogger template has extremely pleasing colours, although simple in terms of functionality, it can be a good theme for your music blog. Besides, less features means it will load fast as well.

The header navigation bar can be customised by going to 'Edit HTML' and below that the search box is neatly integrated in the header. The main column has speaker icons to give the template a musical touch, and the comments appear at the bottom of the post.

The sidebar is in the form of a suspended tag, and has a purple RSS icon on the top right, you might want to increase its size. Then the rest of the content can be added in the sidebar, pretty simple. Overall, Gramophonica is an inspiring design with the header image the highlight of the template.

The theme that takes blogger to the next level, Zinmag Remedy was created by Jinsona Design and ported to blogger by Falcon Hive. The hottest porters at the moment to blogspot, they have an incredible amount of templates churning out, I hope to feature all of them as and when possible.

A magazine template that will blow your mind away, the Zinmage comes with a double drop down bar, unlike the Arthemia template for blogger, this one works in IE6 as well. Under that is a featured post scroller that works wonderfully in all browsers I actually adapted it to my blog.

There is a featured post section on the left, its important to understand that the sections on the top and the left have to be manually created and this can take quite a bit of your time. But it sure will help in increasing your page views and boosting your seo as well.

The next thing is the big space to jot down something and the post space gives birth to a nice section that holds summarised post with the read more option. There is a tabbed navigation widget as well on the home page besides a slot for embedding videos.

The template also features two sidebars, a designed search button as well as a subscribe to feed section, RSS buttons on top and space for your blog title and description. This is definitely one of the templates I highly recommend!

Originally a wordpress theme designed by Lorelie of Toptut.com, FloraScent template has been converted to Blogger by Blogger Tricks. Well, they have few interesting templates there.
This two column template has an attractive header, which makes the template look really flowery and artistic. I wouldn't want to change an image like this.

Otherwise its a simple template, the search box is fitted in the header and there is enough space to put in the blog description. The main column has the datestamp and author name at the top with labels and comments at the bottom.

Although I didn't like the box around the date, it doesn't go with the theme. While the smaller column on the left can be used for your labels, archive, recent posts etc. The RSS icon is neatly fixed at the top of right-hand side column.

On the whole the design would go well with a theme-based blog on either art, flowers, or even 3D creation.
