Blogger have limited update for their service since its first launch at year 1999 compared to its competitor, Wordpress. However, Google had made some changes to Blogger recently by adding a new feature in blogger. This new feature is to enable Blogger users to customize their template. New feature broadens publishers’ ability to modify the look of their blogs.
This new feature is called Blogger Template Designer, which is still under observation of its performance. As you log into your blogger account, you will notice a blue small box appear at the top right of the page. In order to utilize Blogger Template Designer, you need to make Blogger in Draft as your dashboard. Once you have click on the small box, simply go to your blog layout page, you will notice that a new feature available in layout page called template designer.
In template designer, you are given several example of template provided by different website designer and you can choose to modify one of the template there. Changing font, different width of column, different number of column, footer layout and header layout are all available in the new feature, template designer.
As you could browse my other blog powered by blogger, i have tried out this new feature myself. I quite satisfy with the new template as it’s up to standard and outstanding.
There is a total of 15 new template available in the template designer. These 15 templates are further divided into four categories which designed by two website designer,John Peterson and Tina Chen. The four categories are SIMPLE, PICTURE WINDOW, AWESOME INC and WATERMARK. I choose the PICTURE WINDOW template for my other blog, it suit me blog just well.
The Blogger Template Designer includes ready-to-use professional designs, pre-built templates that can be further modified, a color-adjustment control to tweak the blog’s color palette, stock photos for background use and an advanced interface for publishers who know HTML and CSS

What happen to Blogger.com today? It keep showing the a strange code bX-5eka1d when i try to go to blogger website. When i try to check what actually happen to blogger by using the Blogger Help Centre, but to my surprise AGAIN, i cant find any help from them because the strange code i key in the search engine in Blogger Help Centre do not show any related answer to it.
I wonder is my problem or just as i expected, Blogger.com having a serious problem. Instead of all the blog using blogger.com, i still can access to my HiTechBlog and some of the blog. It confuse me again with a lot of questions in my head. I just waiting for those people to fix the problem, what could i do if i really have no idea of what had happened.
When i check again in the Blogger Help Forum, i found out that there are so many people having the same problem, cant log in to blogger.com, keep showing the blogger error code when try to access some blog. But, i do not see any reply from blogger.com and all of us are still waiting blogger.com can solve the problem QUICKLY. Blog is part of my life, cant live without them even for a day. HAHA!!
