Blogger provides lots templates for their users. But they don't look like professional templates, therefore most of the bloggers use templates downloaded from third party which is also called as Custom Blogger Templates. If you can alter its HTML code you can give your blog a professional look.
But sometimes only changing the template is not enough as your blog still has the old fonts. Changing the default fonts to custom fonts can definitely give your blog a new look. But many people don't know how to use custom fonts in blogs. So here I am giving a tutorial on how to insert custom fonts in your blogger blog. Follow the steps below:
Use Custom Fonts on Blogs Having Custom Blogger Templates
1. Go to Google Web Fonts. It's a directory of web fonts having hundreds of free, open-source fonts optimized for the web.
2. Select the font which you want to use and click Quick-use.
3. In the next window you will get two codes. Copy the first code and paste it just after the <head> in your template's HTML. Don't forget to backup your template.
Download full template before editing the template. Now paste the first code just below the <head> section of your template HTML. Please note that your code must be closed by a forward slash (/) . See below:
4. Now find ]]></b:skin>. Paste the second snippet of code just before/above it. Now define where you want to use the font, in heading1, heading2 or heading3. For example if you want to use the font on heading 2 then paste the second snippet of code before ]]></b:skin> as:
h2 {font-family: 'Berkshire Swash', cursive;}
If you want to use it on heading 3 then replace h2 with h3. Headings differ from templates to templates so you can check your h tags and use according to it.
If you want to use custom fonts in blogger post and not in headings and titles then just follow the below steps:
• Find .post { and before the ending of curly bracket "}" place the below code
font-family: 'YOURFONT', arial, serif;
For Example
font-family: 'FontinSansRegular', arial, serif; }
and save your template.
