Note: Blogger layout is not as stocked as this snapshot. This snapshot is bloggerdemmys' layout,which of course you know is already filled with gadgets since the site is functional now and serving your needs. A default blogger layout has nothing. You will add every widget as you deem fit,although their are best practice styles in doing almost everything,including online,the choice is yours to position gadgets anywhere on your blog
Blogger layout helps you organise your template from within blogger to any shape you want. This is where you, with the help of page elements/widget/gadget design a blogger homepage in whatever manner and according to whatever like you desire it seen by visitors. Blogger layout is not an end, but a means to an end. The layout itself is never seen at blog site, that's by external visitors, but the doings of the her doing(the activities of the layout) through widgets. This, operates from the shadow to equip a blog page with necessary web apps, tool bars through page elements for ease of use by visitors, effective service to them, good communication , and expert control on the side of blogger admin. Without the privileges of blogger layout, the only thing you would be seeing on bloggerdemmy is just the posts i make. No header image, no tabs/pages/category and no left or right side bar content like you see them now about the page;giving it even a more full and sizeable look. Like i put in earlier, layout is just one flexible platform, with numerous web apps working with and through it. and these wep apps by blogger parlance is called gadgets, and generally also referred to as page elements and widgets. Virtually everything you see in bloggerdemmy apart from the template,colours and posts are widgets. Widgets helping me to serve you better, and making it possible for you to navigate through all parts of Bloggerdemmy with every possible ease.
Lets Analyse The Above layout For a Guide
1. The middle part of the above layout is the spot for all your posts. As you well can see Blog Post on the body
2. The left sidebar, contains my archive,floating share button, and adsense
3. At the uppermost of right side bar is my Search widget. Pls note, that widget you see their without name but 'HTML Java script' is 1., not a blogger default widget and 2., not supposed to have a name. When you are adding a widget, you are asked to enter a name(optional) but their are web apps you wouldn't want their name seen on your home,but only the app itself. An example is google adsense. You will prefer having the ads dance on your page without name than bearing Google Adsense(i mean for animated ads),unprofessionally,as if you are trying to tell who doesn't( they definitely have and know about it) have the program that you advertise for Googles' client.
4. That HTML JavaScript widget atop blogger post body is adsense ads. I made it in a manner that a flat horizontal adsense ads fit just atop my post body grabbing equal sides with her width and also making sure it's not bloated; as to length. You can check it out on my home page. In order to do so, you should know your post bodies' width (i can help you with that). think that's all.
