Maggo is an EXCELLENT magazine theme original designed by WPThemeDesginer. After working for more than 6 hours, I was succeeded in converting it from Wordpress Theme to Blogger Template and now it is available for you - Bloggers 
The original Wordpress theme is not widget ready, but I tried to widgetize it when I converted to Blogger Template. With the amount of effort that went into converting this template and attention to details, I sure hope you appreciate this free amazing new xml Blogger/Blogspot template. An important note for you : make a right decision before deleting any widget because when you re-add them, they will not show correctly !!!
Features included :
- Three columns with left and right sidebar
- Good design with nice color scheme
- Built-in RSS feed and Email Subscription links
- Built-in Search box
- Nice navigation tab
- Nice comment box
- Ad boxes ready (125×125)
- Google Adsense ready (468×60 banner, 120×600 sidebar, 250×250 sidebar)
Install Maggo magazine blogger template
Step 1. Blog’s name and Blog’s description
Press Ctrl+F to find these lines
<h1><a expr:href=’data:blog.homepageUrl’>Maggo Mag Theme</a></h1> <h2>Blogger Template by ThemeLib.com</h2>
Change the bold text to anything as you wish 
Step 2. Top Navigation bar
Press Ctrl+F to find these lines of code
<div id=’menu’> <ul> <li><a expr:href=’data:blog.homepageUrl’>Home</a></li> <li><a href=’http://blogger.com‘>Blogger</a></li> <li><a href=’http://themelib.com‘>ThemeLib</a></li> </ul> </div>
Change them if you want
Step 3. TimeStamp format
Please read the post How to change timestamp format on Blogger/Blogspot
Step 4. RSS feed and Email Subscription links
To get this section working you’ll first need to have a FeedBurner account. If you don’t already have one, please read the “Manage your feed with Feedburner-RSS feed” and “Manage your feed with Feedburner-Email Subscription“articles and then come back. Another option is to just delete this widget if you’re not interested in knowing your subscriber count or allowing your readers an easy way to subscribe (also lost the Search box).
Once you’ve got your FeedBurner account, you’ll need to edit this template code and replace a few parts. Search your template code for the following lines :
<p class=’first’><a href=’http://feeds.feedburner.com/Themelib‘>Subscribe via RSS Feed</a></p> <p class=’second’><a href=’http://feeds.feedburner.com/Themelib‘>Subscribe via Email</a></p>
Replace the text in bold with your FeedBurner address.
Step 5. Recent Posts and Recent Comments widgets
This one is easy to setup since we’ve already written an entire article dedicated to this. Please see “How to Setup Recent Comments and Posts Widgets” to configure these two widgets.
Step 6. 125×125 Ad Boxes Section
Press Ctrl+F to find these lines
<td> <a href=’http://themelib.com’ src=’http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll96/themelib/tl-logo.png’/></a> </td> <td> <a href=’http://wpthemedesigner.com’><img src=’http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll96/themelib/maggo/sponsor.gif’/></a> </td>
This is code for 1×2 ads. You can easily increase to 2×2, 3×2 or more by adding the same code above. If you’ve got ads to place in here, then just paste the code into the template. If you don’t have ads to use, you can either leave our default ads or delete this widget altogether.
Step 6. Google Adsense
There are three good places for you to put up Adsense code. They are : 468×60 banner on header , 120×600 skyscraper ads on the left sidebar, 250×250 square ads on the right sidebar.
The 468×60 head banner ad is hardcoded into the template but will disappear when you add anything to this widget. It’s an HTML widget so you can put the banner ad code straight into this box, a normal html ad or Google Adsense code. This widget can also be deleted if you don’t have a 468 x 60 and you’ll just be left with the default header.

Hi nhc1987
Ok I’ll be waiting for that precious post, and please let me know. Thanks a lot.
Lovely template. Tested it in blogspot. Suggest to add word-wrap and overflow tag to have better view in IE.
Can someone please post a step-by-step tutorial for those who are having trouble uploading to blogger.com? I keep getting
“Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly.
XML error message: Content is not allowed in prolog.”
I’m not really understanding how to upload the images first and I really want to use this template.
Thanks
how can i hide the author name above my post??? .. to those who can’t upload the theme try to do the following:
- first, clear your cache, cookies
- then upload the theme.
this works for me.

How can I make the colums closer?
I am having the same issue as many, my right sode column is down at the end of the page. I am not sure how to get it to go to the top of the page.
As far as the left colums, I would like it farther to the left.
Thanks!

I’m using it on my blog http://www.tipstrickblog.blogspot.com but having problems with the layout especially with the sidebars.Overall its a cool nice template.
@umberto
I saw your site. It seems like you didn’t upload the images included in Maggo.. folder to image hosting sites. You have to upload every image included in that folder to sites like photobucket.com or imageshack.us and you have to add the links of those images into your template.
Also visit my site http://pcaddons.blogspot.com, I just modified this template for Adsense and if you like it I’ll share my template with you.
thanks template…..
please help me, why every my posting become three same write when i make a posting?i used this template…
