Building my own Blogger template was one of those goals that I wanted to achieve anyhow. Alhamdulillah, previous year I started my own template publishing site where I have uploaded more than 10 templates till now. But now today when I look back I can remember that there were not so many resources which helped me to build my first ever, unique template and still there are not enough resources available on internet.
I got many emails and requests via comments by users to publish a complete and comprehensive post about developing Blogger templates.
I also saw many people on different blogs, Facebook, Twitter and forums who were asking for a comprehensive post or resource which can help them to understand the basics of building a Blogger template.
Unfortunately, As I said there are not many resources which can help them out. And many which were available on internet are deprecated and useless. And many authors have deleted many useful resources,(I really don’t know why).
So yesterday after seeing all this I decided to publish a post on my blog which will help new developers to understand the basics of blogger template development and to help them to build their first and unique Blogger template.

A basic web template consists of a header,content area, sidebar and footer.
