Skill Level: Intermediate | Language: English | Lectures: 33 | Video Duration: 3 Hours
Want to learn how to build your own Blogger theme instead of depending entirely on ready-made templates? The Google Blogger Theme Development Course teaches you how Blogger themes work and how to create and customize them using HTML, CSS, XML, and Blogger’s template system.
You will learn through a practical, step-by-step project, including how to take a static HTML template and convert it into a functional Blogger XML theme. The course also covers Blogger sections, widgets, data tags, responsive layouts, SEO elements, and custom landing pages.
The goal is not simply to install a Blogger template. You will learn the underlying structure so you can create, modify, troubleshoot, and customize Blogger themes for your own websites or client projects.
The course is instructed by Elliyas Ahmed, Founder of COMPROMATH. He holds a B.Sc. (Engr.) in Computer Science & Engineering from Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur.
Elliyas founded COMPROMATH in 2016 and has been publishing tutorials and practical resources about Blogger, web development, SEO, and blogging for years. Since 2017, he has also worked professionally on Blogger theme development and customization.
As a full-time freelance web developer and instructor, he has worked extensively with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, WordPress, Blogger, and other web technologies. This course brings that practical experience into a structured learning path for people who want to understand Blogger theme development rather than simply use an existing template.
What This Course Covers
The course starts with the fundamentals of Blogger theme development and gradually moves into practical customization. You will work with a real HTML design and learn how to adapt it to Blogger’s XML-based template system.
You will also learn how Blogger sections, widgets, and data tags connect the visual design of a theme with the dynamic content of a blog.
This is a sequential, practical video course taught in simple English. It is designed for learners who already have some knowledge of front-end web development. You do not need to be an advanced developer, but you should be comfortable reading and editing basic HTML and CSS.

Throughout the course, you will work toward creating a customized Blogger theme from an HTML-based design. Instead of treating Blogger as a simple blogging platform where you only change colors and fonts, you will learn how to work with its template structure and dynamic elements.
The practical lessons cover the process of turning a static design into a Blogger theme that can display your blog content and provide editable areas through Blogger’s layout system.

Learn Blogger Theme Development, Not Just Theme Installation
Installing a ready-made Blogger template is relatively easy. Building or modifying one requires a different set of skills.
This course focuses on understanding the structure behind a Blogger theme so that you can make meaningful changes to the design and functionality. Once you understand the relationship between HTML, CSS, Blogger XML elements, sections, widgets, and data tags, you can apply the same concepts to different Blogger projects.
