New Blogger Templates are Awesome

| blogging |

So as you can see I have recently changed the background on my blog. I am in absolute love with the new templates offered by the folks at the blogger team. I have always felt that the default templates were a bit too plain for my taste, especially compared to all of the nice ones from wordpress.

I chose this colorful template because since it is getting so cold outside now, I thought I would warm things up here on the blog and make it look like its nice outside - even though it is not.

So, check out all the awesome new templates, what are some of your favorites? Any suggestions for other places to get a nice template (one that does not jack up your whole entire blog layout as soon as you click “apply”? )

Thank you for reading! Share your thoughts with me on bluesky, mastodon, or via email.

“They had the simplest task in the world.”

This is a really nice set of transitions when pinching in and out in Photos in iOS 26. This is trickier than it seems, because it’s not just a linear zoom (like it would be in Maps or Sketch, for example). It’s a zoom and reflow – from 3 items to 1 item pe...
