Installing a blogger template is really a piece of cake, you can either insert the traditional templates offered by Blogger(which are really very boring) or download some super cool templates from different websites which offer templates free of cost!

Now just observe the dashboard, if you see Layout then you have an upgraded template installed, else if you see Template a classic template is installed. So if you see Layout as an option skip this step.
