Now Design and Generate Your Own Blogger Templates

There are five sites given in this post that is generate,make our own blogger templates which is very easy to generate.

1.Firdamatic Layout Generator

Firdamatic is an online tableless layout generator that allows you to create and customize layouts easily only by completing forms, making creating skins for your Blogger-based layout a breeze. This tool is available for free for personal/non-commercial use only and comes with no technical support. So use it at your own risk.

2. Pimp My Profile Blogger Template Generator

Pimp My Profile Blogger Template generator should not be a preferred choice as it has the worst interface to work with. Surrounded by ads and sidebars on both sides and popping advertisements make the experience worse. But the Good thing is that you can keep previewing your template at any step. Although the simple 7 steps do the work yet customization options are still limited.


3. Trix Template Generator

Trix Template Generator is a simple application for creating templates for Blogger/Blogspot without any much knowledge about HTML or XML language. If you have the imagination and the creativity, you can very well design templates to your likings. The interface is user friendly and the best thing is that you don't have to refresh or preview the changes. You can instantly see the changes as the tools are hovering over the actual template you are designing in the background.


4. PsycHo Template Generator

PsycHo is one of the oldest but still lacks some attractive interface features but customization options are far more and better than other template makers. But as they are promising to update to some newer version they would definitely come up with some exciting new interface and ease of use. Again it doesn't require you to know any HTML coding - customization of every single bit of your template is behind those simple drop down boxes.


5.Artisteer Blogger Template Maker

The most professional looking Blogger Template Maker - Artisteer is the latest discovery from blogger template designers and generators collection. It is the only application that works offline and you need to download it first to enjoy the most user friendly environment of all Template Makers. Interface is quiet familiar with that of MS Office 2007 that means every functions is at front Ribbon. The only and worst thing about Artisteer is that it's not free to use! It comes with a trial version. But the trial is unlimited and adds "trial" watermarks allover to exported templates and does not allow you to save designs as project file for future changes.
See the Artisteer demo.

Difference Chart 2009 Between Blogger and Wordpress

In the following chart features at Blogger (blogspot.com) and Wordpress.com are compared. These are the two main contenders for free blog hosting. Features which are clearly better at either BlogSpot or Wordpress have been highlighted. Widgets are listed in another summary table after the features list. If you have your own website with PHP/MySQL support, you can download and use WordPress with no restrictions (get it here).

Feature	Blogger.com	Wordpress.com
Themes and customization	You can edit template layouts, styles and colors, or install a third party theme.	No template editing. Style sheet editing is only available as a paid upgrade. Many of the 60+ themes let you upload a header image. Some have additional customization options.
Visitor stats	You can include third party tracker scripts — or any type of script.	No scripts allowed. The admin dashboard shows 2 days of stats and daily, weekly and monthly graphs.
Import	Only from another BlogSpot blog.	Import from Blogger, Yahoo! 360, Live·JournaI, Type·Pad, MovabIe·Type or another WordPress blog.
Image storage	1 Gigabyte. There is no interface to browse through the images unless you sign up for Picasa Web Albums.	3 Gigabytes. Paid upgrades are available to add more space. You can also upload .ppt, .doc, .odt and .pdf files (more file types with an upgrade).
Galleries	You can use Picasa Web Albums.	Simply add the tag [gallery] to any post or page (more info).
Static pages	Not available.	Create posts or 'pages'. Static pages are listed in separate menus.
Categories	'Labels'.	'Categories'.
Optional excerpts	New: Expandable post summaries (more info).	Some WP themes allow unique text. Others depend on a "more" tag.

Contact forms	Not available. You could add a third-party contact form, however.	Simply add the tag [contact-form] to any post or page.

Widgets	See the next table.

Blogger comments:

Visitors can preview comments. They can also choose to receive follow-up comments by email. However, the embedded Comment Form option is entirely dependent on JavaScript.

Wordpress comments:

Earlier in 2009 Wordpress.com added follow-ups by email and comment threading options. Wordpress has more comment options than Blogger, but there have been problems with Akismet spam protection. See this post on the WP user forum...

WordPress shortcodes are like widgets for individual posts. For example, you could add a PollDaddy.com poll.

Theme choices

Although the Wordpress.com collection of 60+ themes sounds like a lot, many of them are quite disappointing. Two of the themes are specifically for the Christmas season, and of the remainder, a significant proportion are gaudy or tacky (in my opinion). A few of the themes have bugs which would be obvious to anyone who had done cross-browser testing at different screen resolutions. And if you don't like small font sizes (smaller than on this page), the number of acceptable choices shrinks even further. Considering that there are many hundreds of excellent Wordpress themes out there, it's hard to fathom the criteria that inspired this particular collection. Check out these full-size screenshots of Wordpress.com themes before you sign up (not a complete list).

If you don't like any of the BlogSpot themes you can modify them or install third party themes. There's a template customization tutorial here.

Ongoing improvements

The WordPress team frequently add new features and sometimes new themes, and since the new BlogSpot publishing system was rolled out in 2006, the Blogger software team have added new features too. Visit the developer blogs to find out what's new:

Conclusion

I wanted to find out what was on offer in terms of free blog hosting. A year ago, Blogger was looking stale, and Wordpress.com didn't have nearly as many themes or features as it does now. On this occasion I chose Blogger, and this is my first post. If Wordpress.com allowed stylesheet editing without having to pay, and visitor stats comparable to the tracker scripts you can obtain for free, my choice would have been Wordpress.com for sure.
