Frequently Asked Questions

The questions that reach Blogger Template Free most, answered briefly, and the address to use when yours is not among them.

Are the templates covered here actually free to use commercially?

We note the license for anything we point to specifically, since free templates vary between fully open licenses and ones that restrict commercial use or require attribution. Always check the specific license before publishing a site built on one.

Why do some of your recommendations go against popular blogging advice?

Because some popular advice does not hold up once you actually test it on a real, small blog rather than a hypothetical one. We would rather say a common tip does not work than repeat it for the sake of agreement.

How do I know if a free template is safe to install?

Scan the downloaded file before installing it, check whether the source is a known template site or repository rather than an unfamiliar file host, and avoid anything that asks you to disable security settings to install it.

Do you accept payment to recommend specific templates or tools?

Some links on this site are commercial, and that is disclosed in our editorial policy. The wording of our advice does not change because of a commercial relationship.

Do I need to know how to code to customize a template?

Basic changes, colors, fonts, spacing, usually do not require coding. Deeper layout changes benefit from at least reading the template's code structure first, which we cover without assuming prior experience.

How often should I actually redesign my blog?

Much less often than the urge to redesign usually suggests. Several articles here cover why a stable, working design left alone often serves a blog better than frequent redesigns chasing the latest look.
