Purpose of blog:
The first thing that you need to consider is purpose of your blog that is the type of blog you want to create because if you want to create an informative blog then you need a professional looking template and if you want to create a mp3 or musical blog then you need a musical rocking template. The thing that i want to say is that the purpose of a blog decides its theme. So first think about the purpose of your blog before selecting a template.Professional look:
Always try to select a template that looks professional that is, it does not contain too many images or it look very colorful. This is applicable for all types of blogs because too many pictures and colors can make your blog look awkward. So select a template that look simple and does not contain too many pictures in background.Layout:
There are different types of templates with different layouts that is templates with single or double sidebar, templates with single, double or triple section footer etc. This does not matter much but it depends on you that which type of layout you want for your blog. The templates with more section can give you additional spaces for widgets and advertisements. Generally i use single sidebar and three section footer layout for my blogs. So select a template that best suits your requirements.Ads ready:
This is not an important thing for those who don't want to show any ads on their blogs. But in most cases we place ads on our blogs, so if you want to show ads on your blog then select a template that is purposely created for showing ads because if you shows ads on a template that is not suitable for ads then it can affect your blog's design and look.Color of template:
This is an important thing to consider because if you write articles then you need a template that can show your articles clearly to your visitors. So always try to select a white color template because in white color templates you can easily read anything but if you select a black color template then there are more possibilities that people may not read your entire article. Also in white color templates you can easily customize your ads which is not always possible in case of black or any other color templates.Link Color:
Always check the link color of a template before selecting it because in some templates the link color is almost same as the text color, so it becomes difficult for you and your visitors to find a link in your post. This can affect the number of page-views of your blog. So always keep this small thing in your mind before selecting a template for your blog.Related posts widget:
Generally all new templates comes with this feature, so check the template that whether it contains a related posts widget or not. If it is present in the template then it is good for you otherwise you have to install it manually because these widgets can increase your blog's pageviews. If you don't find this feature in your selected template then i recommend you to use nrelate related posts widget because it offers various styles and does not force you to show their link.Back to top button:
This is an additional feature that many template designers forget to install in the templates, so check the template that whether it has a back to top button or not. Back to top button provides easy navigation to your blog users, so always choose a template that contains back to top button. But if you don't find this button and even want to use that template then you can easily install it manually.Also read:
