    Can anyone point me towards a good source for blogger templates. It will be nice if they look professional and clean. Thanks.

    @WebLab , thanks to your link. I was able to set up the new template. I used this one : http://www.mybloggerthemes.com/2014/03/awesome-mag-responsive.html

    I was able to customize it properly. But I was not able to use my own category to top bar so removed it. Neither was I able to set Editor's choice. I removed the top bar until I find a way to use my own content. And I need to work on how to set up editor's choice as well.
    You can see it live at www.meet-dilip.blogspot.com . It would be nice if any help on setting up editors choice and adding categories is possible. In blogger CP there is no option to add categories or post to a particular page. All posts go to home page :(

    You can't get all the features from Blogger that you can get from a self-hosted website like wordpress. No idea about editor's choice, but there's no category feature in blogger, instead there's a tag. When you make a post, insert tag/s. Tags can be shown as widget on the page.

    I haven't use blogger since a long time, so not sure but i think max 10 pages are allowed. Check yourself, there must be an option to publish a page. Your choice of template is bit different, this is not what general template looks like.

    I think using labels will help. Will try and update. Many thanks for your help.

    PS : Unable to give a like :(

    It would have been easier to give an option to post under a particular page or column in case of multiple themes. I don't know how long they will exist by offering such minimal services which are not very user friendly as well.

    I made a query at Google Blogger forum. They said we will not give support to custom template. Then what should we do ? Use the sub standard themes they provide ? :sad:

    I use templateism.com. It's free of charge. In my view, it looks very nice and clean...

    There are thousands of free templates, who's going to look into code of such templates as per user's need and provide free support ?

    That is true. But I really hoped I could find a good support forum for blogger. Unsuccessful so far. If you know any, please do share.
