Blog Template (also called Templatemo 055 Blog) is a free, 2-column HTML CSS blog layout published by Templatemo that gives you a ready-made front-end design to use with any blog CMS. It is a static web template with no server-side code, so you can download, edit, and host it anywhere.
What is Blog Template?
Blog Template is a free HTML CSS website template designed specifically for blogs, using a 2-column layout to separate the main content from a sidebar. It takes a typical blog structure — a content column for posts and a sidebar for widgets — and packages it into a set of HTML and CSS files that you download as a ZIP archive. Templatemo, the free template publisher behind this layout, offers it for both commercial and non-commercial use without a license fee.
Key Features
- Free license — The template is 100% free to download, edit, and use on commercial or non-commercial websites, with no attribution requirement stated.
- 2-column layout — A classic blog arrangement with a primary content area and a sidebar, suitable for posts, archives, and widget blocks.
- Pink and purple art styling — The design uses pink and purple colors with an art-inspired theme, according to the template tags.
- Pure HTML CSS stack — Built with plain HTML and CSS, so it loads without a JavaScript framework or backend dependency and works with any static web host.
- Live preview and screenshot — Templatemo provides a live view and a full-size screenshot to inspect the design before downloading.
- Proven track record — Published on 31 January 2009, it has been viewed over 130,000 times and downloaded nearly 35,000 times, indicating a long-standing availability.
Who is it for?
- Bloggers who want a pre-made 2-column layout and only need to replace the demo content with their own posts.
- Front-end designers who need a simple HTML CSS starting point to restyle and integrate into a blog CMS like WordPress or Blogger.
- Students and hobbyists learning HTML and CSS can study a compact blog layout structure and edit it to practice their skills.
- Small website owners who want a blog page that loads quickly without heavy frameworks or build steps.
What can you do with Blog Template?
- Personal bloggers: Set up a personal blog with a two-column layout that shows articles in the main column and links or categories in the sidebar.
- Web agencies: Use the template as a quick mockup for client blog projects, customizing the CSS to match the client's brand.
- CMS integrators: Adapt the static HTML templates to a CMS theme by replacing placeholder content with dynamic tags from the CMS.
How does Blog Template work?
After downloading the ZIP file from the Live View and Download buttons on the Templatemo page, you extract the archive and open the HTML and CSS files in a text editor. You can directly edit the content and styles, then upload the files to a web server or convert the markup into a CMS template. Because it is static HTML CSS, no build process or backend is required to run it.
