Rise and Shine is the third Blogger Template that I've created. :) It was based on two column layout and has both top and footer navigation menu. I've also already embedded so many useful Blogger hacks on the template such as pagination, read more button, related posts, avatar comments, Back to Top Button, Google Buzz and Twitter retweet button and Social Bookmarking Buttons. Special thanks to AllBlogTools.com for these useful Blogger hacks.

Template Installation Instructions

Download a template and unzip.
Go to the Layout section in your blog (Dashboard → Layout → Edit HTML ).
Supports your previous template (Download full Template).
Find and upload your template.
Enjoy your new blog design.

To Customize the Template

For color and the font size, some Blogger templates offer an option to change it from the Dashboard (Dashboard → Layout → Fonts and Colors). Here you can see the result directly in the template.

Major changes in the templates needed to know at least a little CSS and HTML. A quick way to modify a template is change the images in the CSS code, for others with the same dimensions. That is the process to change the header of a design, for example.

Additionally, some templates have their own settings instructions and customization, refer to the same download page of your template.

To edit the top menu and the footer links, you could edit it through the menu directly from the Dashboard (Dashboard → Layout → Page Elements).
