Hola a Responsive Blogger Theme
This week I've come up with a theme which will Rock on Niche blogs. Just like Linzo this theme is also designed upon a friend's request. After sharing linzo on Facebook one of my friend Aqid Shahzad commented like this...

"Chan Deep waiting for your next blogger template that will be best for niche blogs I mean adsense optimized, responsive and search engine friendly template"

Below is the Screen Shot of Conversation.

Conversation about Niche Blog Theme

According to his Wish, Today I'm Publishing Hola - A Responsive Niche Blog Theme as the 7th theme of this Series, BTNT Weekly Special!!!

Okay, Let me tell you few words about this theme...

Hola is a Theme specially designed for Niche Blogs. So, In this theme I haven't focused on design (As Niche Blogs usually uses simple design.) Instead I focused on Ad placement, Site Loading, SEO and Responsiveness.

Three main Factors about Hola Blogger theme:
  1. It has a three column layout with simple design, So It'll easily blend with ads (Helps to Increase CTR). See the live demo for better understanding.
  2. It's optimized for Structured Data (Google Rich Snippet), Which plays a major role on SERP Appearance and Ranking. Now search engine can understand your site much better. you can check Google Rich Snippet Data Testing Tool to verify ;)
  3. Even After Placing Ads, It still Rocks on page speed(87/100).

    1. Thanks bro, Now-a-days themes plays an important role when it come to SERP Ranking. That's why I give more importance to performance.

  2. Nice Template... But you can Add Social Buttons on the Post Title as like your earlier template.
    and Cool Social sharing buttons also... just basic one Facebook , Twitter, G+, Pinterest.
    And It will be better if you add some CSS effects on the Labels and Popular post which highlights them. and also to comments box.

    1. Social buttons added. But sorry I can't add special effects for widgets as this theme should have a simple design.

      But, Definitely I'm going to publish those widgets as a separate post so that people can add it according to their wish.

      I always like to give choices. So, the widget should be added according to the theme users.

      Stay tuned... Planning some big changes.. Soon will announce it. ;)

    1. Hi Alex,

      Thanks for your comment, As I said in the introduction It's not for all blogs, its mainly focused for niche blogs. Also Thanks again glad you liked the new design of BTNT.

      The answer for your question is, It's not like I avoided it intentionally I just don't feel like using it.

      Also I can't see anything odd about it... ;)

  41. I was wondering if there is a way to make the Nav bar have a drop-down menu on mobile, like on simple blogger templates. I don't think many people use it on mobile but it would be nice to have the option.

  42. I am facing an issue from today that top menu with social media icon bar is not visible. Earlier it was visible.

    1. It's because of a recent update in blogger.

      To fix it just go to your blog layout page, click edit in the widget which is not showing, type something and click save button. this will fix it. :)

  43. Took 6 seconds to load when i checked in GTmetrix. I think you must have used asynchronous tag in javascripts that would make this template's loading speed faster.
