How can I change my blogger template?I have been blogging pretty happily at Blogger.com for a while, but now I have decided it's time for a bit of a facelift, and I've heard that Blogger just added a bunch of new templates. Nice! How do I get to the template setting and change my appearance? Blogger actually has a pretty simple interface once you remember to pay attention to all of the different tabs on the screen. Let me show you how I change my template and you'll see how to do it on your own blogger account too. First, log in and get to your Dashboard. It'll look like this: ![]() Click on the little machine wheel / cog icon (it's under "CHANGE SETTINGS") on the blog you'd like to change. The top of the subsequent screen will have the following set of tabs: ![]() Click on "Template", and you'll see three options: Edit current, AdSense and Pick new. You want the third of these options (though the other two are worth checking out at some point too!): ![]() There are lots of templates here: scroll down and see all your choices before you make a decision on what you'd like to use. I dug around and decided that Scribe was a good choice, so I clicked on "Use This Template" immediately below it: ![]() You then get a warning: ![]() I'm okay with this as I haven't made any changes to my existing template, so I click "OK" and my settings are successfully changed: ![]() Almost done. Just click on "Republish" and watch the pretty spinning icon: ![]() Before you know it, your weblog and all its individual pages will be magically rebuilt and your whole blog will look totally different!

Hi
I want to 1) change the background color where the center and border are different colors ( custom colors not on the list they give you) The current template does not allow me to change these things 2) change the size of my header photo. 3) edit the size of images i upload. Currently, it seems to be pretty random, some large, some small, never what I want. And the only 'editing' you can do is keep it or delete it.
