I remember when I started my blogspot blog, how hard it was to find any good templates. Now you’ve got some great ones to choose from.

~~Great~~Questionable? Find: Free BlogSpot Templates
Type of Article: Resource of blogspot templates

Target Audience: Every Blogpsot user

Content: It’s about time someone had mercy on Blogspot users and made some templates with pizzazz. Finally Blogspot goes Web 2.0. This site has archives back to February and has some really cool choices. All they ask for their hard work is that you link back. Not a bad trade for the originality that is offered. Take a look by clicking the title shot below.

Why not take this weekend to re-brand your blog or your business? Try new a template to add life and maybe change a bit what you let your readers know about you. A new template can be a great way to catch the attention of new readers . . .

UPDATE: PLEASE READ THE COMMENTS TO THIS POST: mela Says:
That guy at freeblogspottemplates is taking templates found at other sites, stripping them of the link/credit to the site it was found at, and then inserting his own link/credit into the template.
