Cameo, the Photo Blogger Template

Cameo is a 3-column photo blog theme designed by Patrick Sy and converted to blogger by Best Theme.

The template uses a dark colour scheme and plays with light and shadow effect to highlight the images. The header space is utilised for the search box on the extreme right, the blog title along with description and the drop-down menu bar below it. To change the menu links, go to Design--Edit Html and look for this code -

<!-- begin top menu -->
<div class='navIndex'>
<div class='nav'>
<ul>
<li class='current_page_item'><a expr:href='data:blog.homepageUrl' title='Home'>Home</a></li>
<li class='page_item'><a href='#' title='Menu #1'>Menu #1</a></li>
<li class='page_item'><a href='#' title='Menu #2'>Menu #2</a>
<ul>
<li class='page_item'><a href='#' title='Sub Menu #1'>Sub Menu #1</a></li>
<li class='page_item'><a href='#' title='Sub Menu #2'>Sub Menu #2</a></li>
<li class='page_item'><a href='#' title='Sub Menu #3'>Sub Menu #3</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<!-- end top menu -->
Add the relevant links in the above code. The featured image that appears in a frame below the menu bar, is 900px×310px. In order to change that access Edit Html and look for the following code -

<!-- begin featured image -->
<div id='mBodyHead'>
<div class='wrapper'>
<a href='#' title='Hello world!'><img alt='mainImage' class='attachment-900x9999 wp-post-image' height='310' src='http://www.opendrive.com/files/6803598_GZuBx/mainImage.jpg' title='mainImage' width='900'/></a>
<div class='featureTag'/>
</div>
</div>
<!-- end featured image -->

Change the links at the relevant spots, replace the default opendrive image with your url, add the post url etc. In this template the latest posts are displayed in a thumbnail format with the date stamp, comment and automatic Read More link. On mouse hover the summary gets highlighted, which gives a nice visual effect.

Cameo blog theme also features a widget-ready single sidebar. The links can be edited from Edit Html and you need to look for this code, and add your links right after that -

<!-- begin sidebar menu -->
<div class='sideBar'>
<h3>Navigation</h3>
<div class='box'>
<ul>

This theme also includes 4-column footer where you can place additional blogger widgets.

BCute Blogger Template

BCute is a good looking two column blogger template made by Skinpress for wordpress and converted to blogger by Deluxe templates.

Its not very often that you come across a two column template that looks good and has functional features, this is exactly what the BCute template has to offer. It starts off with an artistic header with the title and description on the left. The top right has the RSS feed icon and below that is a menu bar to navigate through your blog.

The header also has a big twitter display, where your visitors can see your last tweet, the right hand side of this section features a search bar.

The rest of the template is simple, the post section on the left and the sidebar on the right. The author, date, labels and comments are displayed just under the headline and there is a thin line to separate one post from the next. There's a little arrow icon on the right hand side links of the sidebar.
