Making A 3 Column Template

Since New Blogger, and the Pick New Template wizard, was launched, many bloggers have been wishing for a 3 column template. So far, Blogger hasn't provided us with one. There are several web sites that offer templates, and some 3 column templates, but using a third party template isn't always a great solution.



Fortunately, making a 3 column template from a 2 column template isn't all that hard to do.

This is probably as easy as importing a pre coded template. Note that this example uses a Minima template, in mint condition. Most standard Blogger templates, in mint condition, should be pretty similar, though templates that stretch will need a different (and actually simpler) technique. If you've tweaked the Header code, or added main or sidebar objects, you'll deal with some variances. But you'll go through the same challenges if you import a pre designed template, and more.
