Blogger templates are less customizable that WordPress' themes. Also, there are more themes available on WordPress so you might as well make the switch.

I find the Ahimsa theme on WordPress quite appealing, with the fading sidebar Javascript effect to slide it out of the way when I want to print the current page rather than view it online with all of the sidebar links.

Just googling out "blogger templates" will give you a lot of sites which offer free templates. Just visit these sites and pick your choice! And while I agree that WordPress is more customizable than blogger, I would still stick to blogger because I can sign into it using my Gmail account so no hassles of creating an extra account to blog.

And if I'm not wrong, blogger has introduced a feature where you can blog through your mobile and email. Doesn't this mean I can blog while checking my Gmail inbox? Now isn't that convenient!

Yeah you absolutely right. I enjoyed blogspot free blog with hosting features as well as others. I am really sorry I am not asking any free templates website here. I want to how to design it from sketch to complete full blogger template. I googled it many times but not able to find right kind. Hope you understand.

Ah I understand what you mean, Blogger is completely coded in XHTML and CSS, not sure on the XHTML part, but I know the CSS is true. You need to design that part so it refers to the blogger XHTML elements. What I would start with is taking a simple blogger theme, noting the selectors, such as the divs, and then play around and see what changes what, and then start noting down the basic needs maybe such as #sidebar, #main, #footer, #header, or if its based on p, h1, div, uls, items such as that. However in blogger it has a php backend I believe that lets you dynamically create pages, while the design is done in CSS, after PHP creates the page. Quite usefull actually, since you can make an easy way to theme your blogspot site and at the same time create a unified backend system, better than wordpress if you don't require plugins and all those extra items, since it doesn't support PHP or anything other than flash embedding.

Hope I helped a bit.
