I am not here to recommend Blogger templates developed by third parties. In fact, you can work on Blogger themes available on Blogger dashboard. However, I could not stop myself mentioning few which I tried and few which I just found impressive.{alertWarning}
Blogger themes that I tried
I tried few Blogger themes for my websites. Some are available for free and I had to buy few others. In this article, I will feature only those which I felt really awesome in terms of subjective perception of SEO compatibility, design, features, and UX.
1. Fiksioner Blogger Template - Free and Premium (optional)
Fiksioner Blogger template has been getting massive updates since its first release. Developed by Igniel, an Indonesian developer, this Blogger theme suits best for personal blogs.

2. JetTheme Blogger Template - Free Blog Version and Premium Webmag Version
An avid blogger from Nepal suggested me JetTheme Blogger Template (Free Blog Version) as one of the most popular free Blogger templates. I found it super lightweight, fast-loading, and apparently SEO-friendly.

3. Derelogy Blogger Template - Free and Premium (optional)
Derelogy Blogger Template is developed by Igniel. It looks similar to Fiksioner Blogger template, yet it has a unique design and extra features like - bookmark the favorite posts. Igniel is generous enough to provide such an amazing Blogger theme for free.

6. Gila Temax Blogger Templates - Premium
I lately discovered and tried various blogger templates from this developer - Jobzeek Job, Jobzeek Blog, Gila Material Pro (GMP Blog), and Zerch Pro. I dropped these themes by now because I dropped the projects using these themes./p>

Blogger themes that I just found elegant (However, not tried)
While exploring best Blogger themes for my websites, I came across various themes which I could not stop mentioning here. Saying so, I would like to reiterate that I can not recommend any of these Blogger templates as I believe that choosing Blogger theme should be informed decision of the bloggers themselves.
1. Webium Blogger Template - Free
Webium is an attractive Blogger template that has a look and feel like that of the Medium platform. This template is developed by El Creative Academy, Indonesia. It is screen-responsive and fast-loading which can have positive effect on SEO.

2. VTrick Blogger Template - Free
This can be probably the most generous free Blogger (Blogspot) template. This 'made in Vietnam' Blogger template offers much more than some premium counterparts do.

7. Probha Blogger Template - Free
Recently, I discovered a new blogger theme. It looks like it is clean, SEO-friendly, and device responsive. The most awesome thing is that this Blogger theme has countless features as plugins that can be turned on and off. For example - one of the plugin puts watermark on the bottom right corner of every image loaded from the vault of Blogger on the website.
