Cheats’ Guide to Customizing Blogger Templates eBook

Amanda Fazani of Blogger Buster has released her first eBook – The Cheats’ Guide to Customizing Blogger Templates. It was released in conjunction with the tips that she presents on her blog and a previous article.

I looked over the 53-page eBook and I was impressed; it presents pertinent information for bloggers using Google’s Blogger service. The guide is laid out in a very organized fashion – included is a table of contents and index, and everything is placed into an appropriate chapter. You’ll first learn how to customize fixed width templates – ranging from making a new header for your blog, using background images, to highlighting the main section. Chapter 2 was designed for users wanting to customize stretch templates with topics going into detail on how to create custom headers, changing the background image, and other subtopics, all explained in a logical manner.

Chapters 3 through 5 contain tips to help you customize the sidebar – adding background colors to the sidebar, sidebar headers, and adding borders to sidebar headings (Chapter 3), creating CSS and clickable buttons and banners, and adding style to posts with images (Chapter 4), and finally, Chapter 5 features several resources both on the Blogger Buster site and elsewhere for customizing your Blogspot blog.

In review, this is a great eBook for a majority of beginner bloggers to use – download it and link to it on your desktop for quick reference.

All of the templates and images used in the eBook can be downloaded via an optional download folder.
