New Blogger dynamic templates look best on blogs filled with photos

As some of you might have noticed already, Google Blogger has introduced a set of new, dynamic templates for all blogs hosted on Blogger platform that have feeds fully enabled.
It might not be all that obvious, but yes - Blogger is also my blogging platform.

This new feature is obviously meant to be used with blogs that contain lots of photos.
I must admit it looks great on mine!


If you would like to try it out yourself, simply add “/view” to the end of the blog URL, e.g.: http://www.travel-pb.com/view

There are a few different templates available and you can switch among them by clicking on the blue drop-down list in the top right corner of your screen.
You can also access all these different layouts directly through the blog URL - for example:

• http://www.travel-pb.com/view/flipcard#!/


• http://www.travel-pb.com/view/mosaic#!/


• http://www.travel-pb.com/view/sidebar#!/


• http://www.travel-pb.com/view/snapshot#!/


• http://www.travel-pb.com/view/timeslide#!/

This new feature really looks great as it is. However I just can't help wondering if Google has some plans for upgrading it later on. Let us just wait and see.
