News Blogger Templates
News sites live on speed and freshness. News Blogger templates are purpose-built for online newspapers, news portals and current-affairs blogs — with headline tickers, top-story sections, category-wise news blocks and layouts that make scanning hundreds of stories effortless.
Who Needs a News Template?
Local and national news portals, campus and community news sites, sports and entertainment news blogs — any publication posting multiple stories every day.
Key Features to Look For
- Breaking-news ticker — scrolling headlines at the top of the page
- Top stories / editor's picks section — your most important news, highlighted
- Category-wise homepage blocks — politics, sports, technology and more, neatly separated
- Date, author and share buttons on every story — credibility and distribution
- Excellent mobile speed — news readers overwhelmingly arrive from phones and social media
- Ad positions that respect readers — revenue without destroying readability
News vs Magazine Templates
The two categories overlap. News templates emphasise chronology, tickers and density — the feel of a newspaper. Magazine templates emphasise features and visuals. If you publish many short updates daily, choose news; if you publish fewer, longer features, see our Magazine templates page.
How We Review
We publish batches of test stories in several categories, check the ticker and homepage blocks, test story pages for speed and sharing, and review ad behaviour before scoring. New reviews are added here as they are completed — find them on the homepage.
FAQ
Can Blogger handle a high-traffic news site?
Yes — Blogger's Google hosting handles traffic spikes well. Your template's speed and image discipline matter more than the platform.
What is the most important feature in a news template?
Mobile loading speed, followed by clear category organisation. Readers give a slow news page about two seconds.
