The latest tips and news from the Blogger team
The Quick Brown Fox
January 20, 2011
A couple of months back we introduced
Web Fonts to Blogger in Draft
. Today we’re excited to not only launch Web Fonts to ALL Blogger users, but also announce we’ve added an additional 35 fonts to the mix, for a grand total of 77 fonts!
Henry Ford once said “Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants so long as it’s black.” When it comes to the Internet and fonts, sometimes this hits pretty close to home: “You can use any font you want so long as it’s Arial.” With the introduction of Web Fonts, this is now a far cry from the truth!
Web Fonts, brought to you by our good friends at
Google Fonts
, let you spice up and further personalize your blog. Just have a look at what we’ve done with the post titles of this blog! And for those of you interested in fonts for non-latin alphabets such as Cyrillic, Greek and Khmer, we have those too!
Ready to give it a try for yourself? Simply go into the Advanced tab of the
Blogger Template Designer
for your blog, select the type of text you’d like to change (Post Title, Blog Title, etc.) and click on any of the new Web Fonts for a preview. Don’t worry, nothing will change on your blog until you select “Apply to Blog”, and this means you can play around with all of the fonts and only make the switch when you’re ready.
For the full list of fonts and more information, please take a look at the
Web Fonts page
in our Help Center.
Go ahead. Jump over that lazy dog!
Express yourself with the Blogger Template Designer
March 11, 2010
by Siobhan Quinn, Blogger Product Manager
We’re thrilled to announce that the
Blogger Template Designer
has launched to
Blogger in Draft
, our experimental playground where users can try out Blogger’s latest features. The Template Designer brings a new level of customization to your blog. Take a look:
In the Template Designer, you’ll find:
15 new professional templates to start from (and more on their way)
Custom blog layouts with one, two and three columns
Hundreds of professional background images from iStockphoto
Customizable colors, fonts, and more!
We have more details and tips in our
Blogger Template Designer post
on the Blogger in Draft blog.
We worked with
iStockphoto
, the leading microstock image marketplace, to put together a great collection of beautiful images and patterns to use as backgrounds on your blogs. The photos are stunning, and are free to use on your Blogger blog.
That being said, today’s launch is just the beginning. We’ll add more of our own designs over the coming weeks and months and, through the new
Template Design Group
, we’ll be working with members of the Blogger design community to bring their templates into the new Template Designer.
Help test drive the Blogger Template Designer by logging into
Blogger In Draft
, and learn more about the new features in more detail on the
Blogger In Draft blog
.
