Google has unvieled 'Dynamic Templates' for their Blogger platform. Templates are really intuitive and eye-candy, have you seen/checked with your blogs? The only glitch is that one needs to Allow 'Full' blog feed under Setting>Others.
I have applied the Magazine theme, and loving the serenity. Things I lost include my logo, affiliations, all other links, and visible are just the posts, a treat for readers, I believe! You guys may try at my page www.punitdubey.in
Have you checked these templates? Do share and comment....
