Google Launches New Responsive Themes for Blogger
Have you noticed the new blogger themes yet? Yes, I’m not kidding. Google seems to be serious about it’s blogging platform Blogger, and introducing updates and new features. There were some minor updates related to the Blogger dashboard back in November 2016. However, many bloggers didn’t like it. I was quite comfortable with those changes. But the recent introduction of new responsive themes is really a good gift by Google and would be welcomed by the majority of bloggers who are using this platform.
Well, I’m not going to write a detailed article on this right now, but let’s have a quick overview of the top features of these new blogger templates as per the initial observation. Will update this article later with more details, if required.

Happy Blogging!
Great themes. In Contempto (and some others), you need to put two pages gadgets (one of top other) to prevent disapearing blog navigation.
Look at that in my blog – this is home page: https://fogdeveloper.blogspot.rs, and this is post page https://fogdeveloper.blogspot.rs/2016/09/ledeno-srce.html.
You can see on home two navigations, but on post page just one. If there be just one page gadget, then it will be displayed just on home – in post page there will be non of posibile navigation!
So, this is solution for that little trouble. Just put another page gadget on top of other, and you can have navigation which do not disapear.
