*Well lets start off with what blog host you are using. I design blogs for Blogger hosted blogs.
*Blogger/Blogspot: These are the same thing. The blogging program is called “Blogger” and your blog address will look something like “yourblogname.blogspot.com”. Blogger is a completely free blog service and probably the easiest one to use. I have to different type of blog designs for blogger, The Classics and The Modern Designs. The Classics Designs are based off the Minima template and the Simple template in the new template designer from blogger. The Modern Designs are based off templates that I create using a template designer program. For both types I offer premade and custom designs.
*Columns for your site
Do you know how many columns you want for your site? Well I will explain them to you to help you decide by explaining them to you.
1 Column:
One column designs only have a post area and no sidebars. This design is great for photography blogs. Here is a sample: This sample is not live since I never got to finish the design.
2 Columns:
Two columns designs have only one sidebar. The sidebar can be either on the left or the right side of the blog. I love this layout since it makes the blog look really clean and simple. Here is a sample of a 2 columns design: http://lilypondfamily.blogspot.com/
3 Columns:
Three columns designs have a post area and 2 sidebars. I create this layout two different ways; with one column on each side of the post area and with two columns on the same side. The layout with the columns on the same side you have the option of having them on either the left or right side of the blog. Here are samples of these designs:
3 Columns-same side
3 Columns- split
4 Columns:
Four columns designs have a post area and 3 sidebars. The layout of this design is different then all the other, at the top of the layout it only has 1 sidebar and then it splits into 2 columns. This design is only available for The Classic Designs with the Minima template. Here is a sample of a 4 columns design: http://www.peacefulwishing.com/
