I swear this would be the last time I change my blog's theme. I might change the header and colors a little bit, but this new blogger template would be my last.

If you're like me, meaning you've spent about a week searching, you probably know that there's not enough Blogger Beta templates around. The good ones are few and far in between. So here's a list of sites with templates that doesn't suck.

• Gecko & Fly - They have some of the most decent Blogger Beta templates out. I'm using their Andreas08.
• Blogcrowds - Worth the sign-up. A number of famous Old Blogger templates converted to Beta.
• Final Sense - Not really my kind of templates, but I'm sure one could work something out of these.

And that's it. Now if you want to go DIY, you can find some help here:

• BlogU
• Beautiful Beta

But I'm guessing you already know that...

For useful beta blogger widgets:

• Beautiful Beta Widgets - This should be your first stop. Just a few but almost all are must-have's.
• Blogger Templates -Templates suck, Widgets cool. I'm using their Recent Comments and Search widgets.
• phydeaux3 - Just found one from this dude, but he did a good job. Tag Cloud/Label Cloud.
• WebWeaver's World - This guy's got a step-by-step on how to add a Most Popular Posts widget.

Cheers.
