Three Column Minima Dark

I'm glad you found my blog on adding columns to your blogger template. I looked all over the web for clear instructions on how to turn my two column blog into a three column blog. I did manage find some worthwhile sites, but not all were entirely applicable, and I found none that dealt specifically with Blogger's "Classic Template" version. If you are publishing via FTP to a "dot com" domain, like thousands of others, Template is the version you must use. So, for those of you who want a three column blog published via FTP to your own domain, this site will be particularly useful.

Adding a third column to Minima Dark is actually pretty easy, and these instructions make it even easier. Minima Dark is one of the simplest templates out there, and it's also easy on the eyes, so readers like it.

The first thing you need to do is to determine whether you're using Blgger's "Template" version or Blogger's "Layout" version. To check, go into your dashboard and look just to the left of the "View Blog" link on the top left of the page. If the tab there says "Layout", you are using the Layout version of Minima Dark, and the instructions for adding a third column to Layout are here.

If it says "Template" there instead, then you are using the "Classic" Template version of Minima and those instructions are a bit different. But don't worry, I've posted instructions for three column Minima Dark in Classic Template version here.

Once you finish adding your columns to Minima Dark, you should also check out the instructions for adjusting your margins. I have also included direct a link to that post in the instructions for adding a column in the Layout and Classic Template versions of Minima Dark.

Best of luck with your blogging. I hope your new three column minima dark template makes your blogging even more fun and enjoyable!
