12 Awesome And Free Responsive Blogger Templates

Blogging 101 is a blog series where I share on blogging tips and today post would be about 12 awesome and free responsive blogger templates. Enjoy!

People love free stuff. I know I do. As a blogger, more so.

But blogging now is more than writing a post and be done with it expecting people to flock over your writing. Your blog has to stand out in both contents and blog design. There are millions of bloggers out there so just focusing on the content is not enough to compete. So it pains me when I see bloggers who have really awesome writing but are overlooked because of the err, horrendous not so pretty blog design.

Well, I’m not expecting a very pretty Tumblr and Pinterest aesthetic level of blog design but the majority of people would prefer to look at something nice. At least, make the blog easier to read by using a responsive and mobile-friendly layout.

So here, I’m presenting to you a list of responsive and free but still awesome blog design for you to use that I handpicked from Gooyabi and Sora Templates.
