Angry Birds is a 2 column blogger theme designed by Theme Snack and ported to blogger by Chica Blogger. Its a colorful theme with a slider, automatic summaries with thumbnails, featured author comments and 3 column footer.

The theme has a menu bar on top to display pages like Contact, About etc., after which is the header logo and slider. To modify the slider, go to Edit Html and look for the below code -

<div id='slider'>

<a href='http://angrybirds.themesnack.net/?p=24' title='Introducing WP Theme'>

<img alt='' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dPjpuC2oyXM/Ts2hwaYzI_I/AAAAAAAACq8/PRrUt7GLXV8/s1600/5.jpg' title='Introducing WP Theme'/>

</a>

Add the post link, title, img alt text and image url for each slide and save the changes. In the main column each post comes with a short summary linking to the full post and thumbnail. The single sidebar has a nice section to display social media icons, you can add your own image, if you like, add the user id and one line text and save the changes. Follow the same step for your RSS feed and facebook.

<a href='YOUR-LINK-HERE'>
<img alt='Twitter' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iekDCUVs3Dg/Ts2ZqqRjv0I/AAAAAAAACqc/PbEaxTHQ8Ug/s1600/twitter.png'/></a>

MagPress is a magazine style blogger template designed by New WP themes and converted to blogger by Lasantha. Its a 3 column theme with dual navigation bar, featured content slider and 4 column footer.

You can add your blog logo from Page Elements, which is the default Blogger method, image size should be 270px width and 43px height.

To configure the top navigation bar, go to Design--Page Elements, create a link list of pages like About, Contact, Advertise, etc., and save the changes. The second menu bar that comes with a drop-down, go to Edit Html and find this code -

<li><a href='#'>Business</a>
<ul class='children'>
<li><a href='#'>Internet</a></li>
<li><a href='#'>Market</a></li>
<li><a href='#'>Stock</a></li>
</ul>
</li>#039;#

Change the main category (Business, Downloads etc) and sub-categories under 'ul class=children', insert the relevant links and follow the same steps for other default categories. Moving on to the slider, go to Edit Html and find this code -

<div class='fp-thumbnail'>
<a href='#'><img src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JvhwCcqa-rw/TwL46MDfD0I/AAAAAAAACMk/Si0xNf-L0yo/s1600/1.jpg'/></a>
</div>
<div class='fp-content-wrap'>
<div class='fp-content'>
<h3 class='fp-title'>
<a href='#'>This is default featured slide 1 title</a>
</h3>
<p>
Go to Blogger Edit Html and find these sentences.Now replace these sentences with your own descriptions.This theme is Bloggerized by Lasantha Bandara - Premiumbloggertemplates.com.
</p>

Add the post link, image url, post title and short description in the above code and repeat the steps for remaining slides. The sidebar on the right includes social media icons for users to connect with you, a search box, and tabbed widget to show varied content. Change the tab names from Edit Html -

<ul class='tabs-widget tabs-widget-widget-themater_tabs-1432447472-id'>
<li><a href='#widget-themater_tabs-1432447472-id1'>Popular</a></li>
<li><a href='#widget-themater_tabs-1432447472-id2'>Tags</a></li>
<li><a href='#widget-themater_tabs-1432447472-id3'>Blog Archives</a></li>
</ul>

You can utilise the second sidebar and footer space to show more content. Overall Magpress has a simple layout and can be used if you have lots of content on your site.
