Make your Book Blog Look Pretty with these FREE Blogspot Templates

Blogspot is a favourite platform for book bloggers. It is easy and simple to make a book blog on blogger. Lots of people do book blogging on WordPress, but Blogger is still the favourite for the new book bloggers.

I also suggest Blogspot, it is easy to manage, hassle-free and cost-free service. The best part is that you can make it as pretty as you want by installing the template. It is one thing that you cannot do on WordPress. On WordPress, your options are limited if you are using a free WordPress. But on free Blogspot, it is limitless.

You will find so many blogger themes that you will get confused about which one to use.

Yep.

This happened to me. I started surfing the templates and after a week I realize, I have seen hundreds of templates. And have not chosen any single one to install.

The problem is, the more option you get, the more difficult the selection becomes. But here I am going to list few Free Blogspot templates that will be a perfect fit for your book blog.

Wrong with default Blogspot templates?

You may think that why not using the default themes provided by the Blogspot.

First of all, they don’t look good.

Second, they are not unique, because many people may be using them as they are default themes.

Lastly, why not?

If a 5 Minute work done by you for your book blog, could make your book blog look extremely good and easily navigable, why should not you do it?

Benefits other than the look:

  • Speed: Your book blog will load faster because these templates are made to load faster. Speed is important for the SEO of the blog.
  • Navigation: The navigation to your blog would be terrific. Everything will be visible, and easy to go through.
  • Mobile-friendly: All the templates are responsive. It means, your site will load smartly according to the screen size.
  • Professional look: Instead of looking like a cluttered mess of widgets, your lovely book blog will look like a managed and disciplined. And people love aesthetically pleasing blogs.

BTW I am pretty sure that you might have seen a blog and thought ‘I wish my blog look this pretty’.

Well, it is easy, just download any template below and install it. DONE.  🙂

The trick to Select a Theme

Maybe you will start browsing the free Blogspot theme. You will find thousands and thousands.

But never download a theme from the unprotected site or any site that looks suspicious.

Themexpose, Gooyaabi, Colorlib, bTemplates, Themeforest, they all are trusted template providers.

You may wonder why they are providing free themes, well, the get a link from you. Footer link actually. The link does not harm you or your blog in any way. It is like an advertisement.

You can easily remove that link if you have the tiniest knowledge of coding. But if you don’t worry. Let it be.

My point is, after looking at so many themes, you may get overwhelmed and get confused which one to select and install.

The trick is this.

Don’t look at the lots of themes. Just select anyone from the list.

The more you explore, the more you get confused.
