In my previous writing, I have introduced you on how to create a new blog template. However, that’s not the end, after creating a new blog template, you can actually apply that blog template to a particular blog post. The result when you apply a template to a blog is that all the post existing in the blog will be shown according to the template that you’ve set. This will aid in customizing your own blog so that you can attract more visitors to your blog as well as differ your blog from others.
