If you are one of those people who use Blogger to blog and are bored of the same old themes, you might want to check out the new Blogger themes released by Blogger! Officially announced on the Official Blogger Blog here on 20 March 2017, there are four sets of new Blogger themes released. Each theme seems to have been designed with mobile and responsiveness in mind. They look sleek and modern.

An excerpt from the Official Blogger Blog reads:

To make it easier for you to express your unique style, we’ve created a new set of blog themes for you to choose from. Each theme comes in a variety of colors, is fully customizable, and can be added to your blog with just a few clicks.  

These themes aren’t only designed to look great, they’re designed to work great too. Each one has been built to automatically adjust to any screen and load quickly, so you can rest assured that your readers will be able to easily see your work whether they’re on a computer, phone or tablet.

And if you are one of those people who think it was due, I agree. Blogger is used by many, and new themes should be released every few years at least.

Here are the four sets of new Blogger themes released this year ( March 2017):

Contempo

Where to find and use the new Blogger theme?

• Login to your Blogger dashboard and click on the "theme" link on the left sidebar.
• Click on "Customise"
• The new themes are displayed. If you don't see them in view, make sure you scroll to the left.
• Under each of these sets, there are variations, and you can explore them on a new one for your blog

Before you jump with joy to apply the new theme, make sure that you backup your existing theme first. Blogger will also prompt you to backup your existing theme before you apply the new theme though. Backing up your existing theme is important if you have done some customization on the Blogger theme and you don't want to lose it. Try out the new Blogger themes on your blog and see what suits best. I am equally interested to see how Adsense will display on these new themes.

Alright then, let's check out these themes, and report to Google / Blogger if there are any issues that need fixing.
