I'm looking for a good simple template for my blog that can display banners without overlapping them. Something like having a basic simple colour background, i know blogger has white, black background templates but white or black just doesn't look good enough. Since i have to display my banners as well so other templates offered by blogger just won't suit my blog. If you wanna see what kind of banners i'm taking about, just have a look at my blog, the blog link is in my profile. You can give me your blog link too if you have some template other than the usual blogger default templates. So if anyone of you know about such good templates or have come across such templates then please give me the link to download it. Don't just give blog templates site names, i've searched google for some sites like that but couldn't find any such template. As i can't search on everysite so if you know or have any such template then do tell me.

Hi, I have used the free blogger templates/ skins provided by charmskins and freeskins. They look fine and professional. I have written a post on this and you can read it at http://assessmyblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Useful%20tools Thanks.

No, I have connections with the authors of charmskins. If you need a modified version, probably it might not be free. Alternatively, take their template and modify the code to suit your interests. Thanks.

I've checked their blogger templates and there are some really good templates over there. I did found a few templates to my likings but i still need those to be altered a bit to be able to fully make use for my needs. So can charmskins admin be contacted in anyways, if you know the person better can you contact them and ask them to give a modified version of one of those templates.

Have you thought about swithing over to a wordpress template? I only ask cause I know you can find and download a variety of different templates/themes etc and there's bound to be one that suits your needs. You can get some idea from here if you're interested http://themes.wordpress.net/

I've already checked some of the sites you have given here and some are new so i'll check out those as well. You are right, you can go on looking for templates but it looks like the design is never what you are looking for, So thats why i look for a simple template and not a fancy one. A simple template with no fancy images, just plain background and a bit of modifications here and there with some unique colours, thats what i'm looking for in a template.

I know there are many wordpress templates out there, many have told me about that. What i'm looking for is a template that utilizes the whole blog page and doesn't leave out the spaces on either sides of the template. Much like Harbour template in Blogger or White lefty stretch in Blogger, if anyone can find a template like that then it will be really good.
