RichMag – News Portal Blogger Template
Version 1.0 · Blogger Template · Built with Blogger, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript
Overview#
RichMag is a Blogger template for news portals and magazine blogs. It runs on free Blogger hosting, so you pay nothing for servers.
The homepage has an Instagram-style hot story widget, label-based news sections and a custom scroll menu. Posts can use built-in shortcodes for boxes, buttons and highlights, and readers can switch to dark mode with one click. Ad spaces are placed for AdSense.

Frequently asked questions#
Will I lose my posts when I change the theme?
No. A Blogger theme only changes the design. Always take a theme backup first anyway.
Does it work with a custom domain?
Yes. Connect your domain in Blogger settings; the template works the same.
Why are some homepage sections empty?
Sections pull posts by label. Add the label names in Layout and publish posts with those labels.
Support#
