This template is different and unparallel in every aspect as compared to any other Blogger template found in the blogosphere. Its not just a Wordpress template converted to blogger but it is a precious blog template which is highly Stylized, Customized and Optimized by default!
See it for yourselves,
This is how the Church Theme originally looked when converted to blogger.
Amazed to see the difference, aren’t you? Lets look at some important features that makes MBT Church Theme the only template with “extensive customization”.
Features related to Customization
Some Important features and built-in widgets are highlighted in the image below,

Layout Screen Shot
Here is a screenshot of the layout, where you can see extra “add a gadget” widgets above header, post-body and footer.
Optimization Guide
MBT Church Theme is a well scripted and optimized BlogSpot template. I have done whatever I could to let search engines better crawl your blog content and let your blog rank higher in search results.
By default I have added some very important meta tags under the <head> tag. Meta tags help search engines to better know what your blog is all about. These meta tags need some edition. To edit them follow the steps below,
Go To Layout > Edit HTML
And search for <head> (Press Ctrl + F to use a search box for finding <head>)
You will find 4 important meta tags under the <head> tag as shown in the image below,
You just need to edit the Meta tags as guided in the bolded text below.
Update:- I have observed that for some unknown reasons the meta tags get automatically deleted. If you see no metas in your buster theme than simple copy paste the code below just under <b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>
<link href='mailto:Your Email Address Goes Here' rev='made'/>
<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'>
<meta content='Add your blog description here. Maximum Characters (including spaces) should be 120' name='Description'/></b:if>
<meta content='Add your keywords here, Maximum Characters (including spaces) should be 200' name='keywords'/>
<meta content='Write your name here' name='Author'/>
A meta Description can be a simple sentence that defines the overall topic of your blog.
A meta keywords tag is supposed to be a brief and concise list of the most important terms on your page
I am giving a dummy example below for my blog to help you get an idea
<link href='mailto:mustafa.xyz@hotmail.com' rev='made'/>
<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'>
<meta content=’Get dozens of tricks related to blogger hosted blogs with free download of highly professional blogger templates' name='Description'/></b:if>
<meta content='Blogger widgets,templates, download, free, seo tips, blogspot tricks' name='keywords'/>
<meta content='Mohammad Mustafa Ahmedzai' name='Author'/>
Avoid duplicate meta keywords/ repetitive keywords. For instance, for meta keywords I have written 'Blogger widgets,templates, download, free, seo tips, blogspot tricks ‘
and not ‘Blogger widgets, Blogger templates, download Blogger templates, free Blogger templates, Blogger seo tips, Blogger tricks’
You can observe that the word Blogger is used 6 times and templates 3 times. Please avoid repetition of a single keyword. You don’t need to worry about the arrangement of your keywords because search engines are clever enough to create good combination of words by themselves out of the keywords you have provided.
Customization Guide
To customize the Navigation Menu, do the following,
To edit the Main navigation menu, follow the steps below,
-
Go to Layout > Edit HTML
-
Search for <div id='NavbarMenu'> using the browser search box (Tip:- Press Ctrl + F )
-
Just below <div id='NavbarMenu'> you will see a long chain of code as shown below,
<div id='NavbarMenuleft'>
<ul id='nav'>
<li><a expr:href='data:blog.homepageUrl'>Home</a></li>
<li>
<a href='#'>Sitemap</a>
<ul>
<li>
<a href='#'>Sub Page #1</a>
<ul>

</ul>
</li>
<li><a href='#'>About Me</a></li>
<li><a href='#'>Contact Me</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
Edit the bolded text in the code above with your own Page links and Page Titles. Replace the hash sign (#) with your Page URLs/Links and bolded black text with your Page Titles
If you don’t want sub pages then simply delete this part of the code
<ul>
<li>

<ul>

<li><a href='#'>Sub Page #3</a></li>
<li><a href='#'>Sub Page #4</a></li>
<li><a href='#'>Sub Page #5</a></li>
</ul>
To edit the Sub navigation menu, follow the steps below,
-
Go to Layout > Edit HTML
-
Search for <div id='subnavbar'> using the browser search box (Tip:- Press Ctrl + F )
-
Just below <div id='subnavbar'> you will see a long chain of code as shown below,

<a href='http://www.mybloggertricks.com'>Template Gallery</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href='http://www.mybloggertricks.com'>Blogger Tricks</a>

</ul>
Again replace the hash sign (#) with your Page Links and Bolded Green Text with your Page Titles. Also Replace http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2009/08/releasing-amazing-mbt-church-theme.html and http://www.mybloggertricks.com with your own Page Links

I hope you will like this template but I can not take a sigh of relief unless you guys let me know how do you find it. If anything is unclear, feel free to ask in the comment box below.
I am soon going to release some more great Magazine style templates, so make sure you have subscribed in order to be updated about the next highly stylized freeware BlogSpot template. Don’t miss the release post!
Note:-
I have the ability to even change the design made by Brian Gardner and take away all the credits as many people have done already but I didn’t do that just because I respect the efforts put into this template by the original author. I simply added further beauty to the design and deserve the credits for this beauty alone. I expect from my readers to kindly appreciate our efforts by leaving the credits unchanged at the footer. Stealing away or removing the credits is the greatest harm one can do to someone’s hard work!
This template can surely be distributed by third parties by linking the credits to my homepage.
This template is free of cost and any sale of it is strongly forbidden.

@Brad Callen
ReplyDeleteI am sorry I simply hate Wordpress service and I hate it only because they don't offer a user the full control of styling. One can only depend on plugins.
And my friend who has helped me converting this wordpress theme into blogger has the ability to convert MBT church theme into wordpress php format but then some of the customizations that we have made will not work! Hence MBT Church themes works and looks best when in blogger
@Anonymous

Thanks for visiting my blog and left a valuable comment and link to your blog so I can download this great template. I'm looking for a template like this. My template original is blogger default template and I made a little change everywhere :)
ReplyDeleteI'll try this template, but the first thing, can I change the header with my own?

ReplyDeleteI have never really used Blogger, though I do have a few blogs set up but they are automatically updated with my wp posts... but I might try out this theme... Thanks for the good work.
Great Theme Dude
ReplyDeleteHi Mohammad
ReplyDeleteCan u plz tell me that how can i use Built-in Pop up image effect in ur modified MBT theme for my blog post photos?????And also Built-in Fading image effect!!!
@Annup
ReplyDeleteFor summarizing your posts at an equal length simple add the <span class="fullpost"> code after 100 Characters. Simply make an estimation. A good practise is that always make an into paragraph for your posts just the way I do for each of my posts and then add <span class="fullpost"> after that into para and add </span> at the end of your post. Read this post for more info http://tnt-by-stc.blogspot.com/2009/05/add-read-more-link-to-your-posts-expand.html
@rapid
I will write a post on it. Just wait for a day
hi Mohammad
ReplyDeleteI am using ur modified MBT theme in blogger but i am unable to found built in page navigation in this theme.Can u Plz help me that why it is not showing below post!!
Prady thks for asking. I will provide you guys with the code soon. Just visit back within 24 hours to see the answer to your question posted.
ReplyDeleteThe Reason is simple Anup!
ReplyDeleteDo the Following,
1. Remove the Stat Counter that you have added just below your posts and also the link to dell computers. Add them to sidebar or the footer.
2. You haven't embeded the Adsense code at the right position. Find "YOUR ADSENSE CODE GOES HERE" in your template and replace this text with your adsense code.
As I said MBT Church Theme is a highly optimized theme , adds will appear in individual post pages only for better load time.
If possible remove that "Featured Video" Widget at the top of your post body also.
Things will return to normal as soon as you apply the solutions above.
Annup I use a javascript to add this flashing link effect to my blog. I will avail the code soon.
ReplyDeleteok, thank you Mohammad. Thanks for helping me...:)
ReplyDeleteI preferred to remove the article
ReplyDelete@Notícia e blog
ReplyDeleteThanks for respecting Copyrights and agreeing to delete that post.
hello Mohammad many many thanks to u for this template.well i want to make some page beside contact me and blogger trick.can u plese help me with that?
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteWell I will release a set of templates after one or two days. There I will also share the code for subscription widget, customizing the menu bar at the top and etc. For as short note, you can follow the steps below,
1. Go To Layout > Edit HTML
2. Check The Expand Widgets box at the top-right-corner
3. Search for <div id='NavbarMenu'>
4. Just below this code you will find a big bunch of code like the one below,
<ul id='nav'>
<li><a expr:href='data:blog.homepageUrl'>Home</a></li>
<li>
<a href='#'>Sitemap</a>
<ul>
<li>
<a href='#'>Sub Page #1</a>
<ul>
<li><a href='#'>Sub Sub Page #1</a></li>
<li><a href='#'>Sub Sub Page #2</a></li>
<li><a href='#'>Sub Sub Page #3</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href='#'>Sub Page #2</a></li>
<li><a href='#'>Sub Page #3</a></li>
<li><a href='#'>Sub Page #4</a></li>
<li><a href='#'>Sub Page #5</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href='#'>About Me</a></li>
<li><a href='#'>Contact Me</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
You can see the list of pages. Change the text with page name and href="#" with Page link.
For example to edit this code <a href='#'>Sitemap</a>
Change the hash sign (#) with page link and Sitemap with your page name
I hope this small info would be helpful. I will write a post on detailed instruction soon.
I am new to Blogging, having only used free blogspot templates.
ReplyDeleteI took a leap of faith, and downloaded and installed the MBT Church Template on my blog.
I would like a BIG picture to be the first thing people see when they go to my Blog ?
IS this possible ?
Secondly, my blogs title and description is not as good as I would like.
How do I fix it with your template ?
Third, I subscribed to your blog, and next I am going to try adding colors to the Blog.
Thank You for this template, and all your hard work!
Chris in Tampa Florida USA
@Chris
ReplyDeleteThanks for your appreciation and subscription. Chris I am going to release 4 templates today. MAke sure you check back. I am sure after seeing those templates , you will never intend to show a welcome image! These templates are worth dollars but subscribers will get these 4 themes for free!
As far as your blog title and description is concerned, I will advise that you create a Background image with your title and description inside it. My blog header (image) can be an example. I have written the title as MY Blogger Tricks and description as keywords above that magic hat. Sometimes simple words speak a lot.
Create an image in gif format having dimensions 960px by 140px
And Do one more thing.
1) Go To Layout > Edit HTML
2) And search for #header using the browser search box. Press Crtl + F
3) Under #header you will find height:120px; Delete it and hit save. Now Once you have
created your background image upload it to blogger using the Gadget which you use for
writing title and description. This widget is inside Layout with link entitled as EDIT.
I hope it will help a bit :>
Thanks mate this template is simple yet attractive!
ReplyDeleteHello Mohammad,
ReplyDeleteThanks for this wonderful theme. I have used it for my blog and my blog simply seems amazing.
I have few doubts though -
1. How can i change appearance of ads below every posts, i am not able to change their colour scheme and format using blog posts tab under page elements head.
2. How can i add multi-tabber widget?
3. Profile images are not displayed in comments. I need that too.
4. I did not find page navigation widget.
5. I need to place date header above every post title.
6. I am not able to change blog author's commenting style.
7. Adsense above comment box is not showing.
Your timely help would be highly appreciated.
@hetal
ReplyDeleteI have updated the post and have added the links to page navigation widget, pop up and opacity effect and subscription form.
To add adsense below every post do this,
1. Go to Layout > Edit HTML
2. Check the "expand Widget Templates" box
3. Now Search For <div class='gapad'> and just below this you will find
YOUR ADSENSE CODE GOES HERE
Replace this text with your adsense code.
4. Done!
The ads will appear on posts only and not at homepage. If you want to show them even at homepage than just above <div class='gapad'> you will find <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'> simply delete it and just below YOUR ADSENSE CODE GOES HERE you will find </b:if>, delelte that too. You are done!
To Change Adsense Appearance. Inside your Adsense account create a new code with your preferences and than paste the code just instead of YOUR ADSENSE CODE GOES HERE. Make sure you encode adsense code using this MBT Tool to Change HTML Characters to simple entities Once you encode the code, it can than be added to your template.
To change blog Author's commenting style do the following,
1. Search for .comment-body-author this is the CSS which will help you change author's comment style.
To Change the look of Comment Count search for .numberingcomments and edit the CSS to suit your preferences.
To add multi tab widget read this post The Tabber
You said you want date header to appear just above each post title. To do this do the following,
1. Search for h2.date-header {
margin: 1.5em 0 .5em;
display: none;
}
Replace this with h2.date-header {
margin:1.5em 0 .5em;
font-size: 10px;
}
h4.date-header {
margin:0;
font:normal normal 78% Arial, sans-serif;
line-height: 1em;
color:#666666;
line-height: 1.4em;
}
Preview you template to see the changes.
You asked about comment profile images. I will write a post on it soon. Though Buster Themes has this effect by default.
I hope I was clear.
Hello Mohammad,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your reply.
I followed all your tips and could work out as i needed. One problem still persists. Earlier before shifting to this current theme, ads under posts were shown which i adjusted from page elements --> blog posts tab. After shifting to this template ads are shown still, but i need to change colour scheme matching current blog's colour theme. I am not able to change that from age elements --> blog posts tab.
I would request you to please visit my blog http://www.shirdisaibabastories.org/ so that it becomes more clear since it's hard for me to explain.
Yeah i know buster themes have comment profile images by default, but i love this them, so i would be waiting for your post about it.
Thanks again for this wonderful theme.
@hetal
ReplyDeleteI have mentioned it very clearly that to add an Adsense ad of your choice you must visit your adsense account and create a new code with your look and feel. Get that code and encode it using this tool -> http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2008/10/convert-special-html-characters-to.html
And once you have encoded the code using the MBT Tool, simply paste this instead of the text YOUR ADSENSE CODE GOES HERE inside your template.
You can't set the preferences using the method you are describing because its not an official blogger template. Page elements --> blog posts tab. This method won't work
Hello,
ReplyDeleteYh setting preferences using Page elements --> blog posts tab is not working. But atleast i need to remove earlier ad link. How can that be done?
I followed your instructions for other method for ads and i succeeded. Thanks a lot.
@Ms hetal Patel
ReplyDeleteWell try this,
1. Go To your blogger Dashboard
2. CLick the link Monetize
3. YOur solution will be in front of you. Choose the last option.
I hope this will help.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteThanks for suggestion has worked for me. It gave great relief.
I visited updated post too. Thanks for suggestion. I will try to follow it.
@izhar
ReplyDeleteTo remove ads appearing on your homepage, simply find and delete this code,
<div class='gapad'>
<center>This site is under construction</center>
</div>
Any further help is welcomed :>
Why is it the default font of my post is Times New Roman? The CSS is set to Arial,Tahoma,Verdana. How to change it Arial? The paragraph spacing is also double in default?
ReplyDelete@egay
ReplyDeleteThe font family that you are refering is for the sidebar headings. If you wish to change the font family of the text inside posts (i.e font family of post body) then do this,
1.Search this,
font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman; Note:-this code will appear twice and hence replace it twice with the code shared below
You can see there are two font types mentioned i.e Georgia, Times New Roman,
The first font will be display and the second font is used as a backup if in case the browser doesn't have Georgia.
If you wish to show Arial font then replace the above code with this,
font-family: Arial,Georgia, "Times New Roman";
And if you want to add another font type then simply add it before arial and add a comma in between. You can see that each font is separated using a comma.
Hope this will help.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI need to know why exact paragraph formatting and spacing of posts gets changed while post is summarised in homepage? Is it possible to have the same foramtting as it would be in original post page on home page too?
@Ms Hetal Patil
ReplyDeleteHi dear!
Well generally I have not faced any such problem but if you are facing so then make sure to add this code <br/> <br/> just before the code for your read more link.
This code <br/><br/> will basically add a space between your read more link and your first paragraph and thus the paragraph will not shrunk.
Hope this was the answer of your question.
Hello Mohammad,
ReplyDeleteI think i have wrongly presented my question. Actually i am using automatic read more hack in which a post gets summarized about a certain limit of pre-determined characters and the image size is also pre-determined. When such summarized posts appear on home page the formatting gets disturbed, i mean where i have used link list or tables, the characters seems to joined each other without spaces :( So what can be the reason for it? And also its solution...
Another thing, i have noticed that a simple search box is used in this template. Can we use google search widget instead of it and if yes, please do let me know its procedure.
Waiting for your mail too !!!
Many thanks to you.
@Ms Hetal Patil
ReplyDeleteWell that automatic read more script was never recommended by me even though many readers asked me to write a tutorial on it. But they way it would truncate the images and other stuff as you mentioned. I really don't know how to tweak a javascript code. I have good knowledge of CSS and HTML but Javascript no way! :>>
Almost all good bloggers use the manual read more link and I use it too. It really takes no time to summarize your posts manually. You just need to add two codes before and after the text you want to hide and that's it. Of course you would need read more link only for posts that appear at your homepage and not for others. You can read this post if you want -> Read More or Continue Reading link
Any further help is welcomed.
And yes Dear I tried a lot to tweak the code for your Automatic image quotes but nothing seemed to work. May be you should consult someone who knows Javascript best. (Sorry!) ..I will have to learn javaScript as well for you guys one day :D
Hello,
ReplyDeleteThanks for answering my queries and working on Automatic image quotes. Let me try to find any other person who can help us in this. If i get any clue regarding this, i shall certainly share with you and your readers of course...!
As far as Read more is concerned thanks for clearing my doubt. Yes it is not that difficult to add read more link manually.
One query still stands unanswered regarding google adsense search widget instead of simple search widget. Is it possible to parse adsense code for search box and replace it in present search box?
Please do not use words like sorry, everyone and everything has limitations, i can understand...
Oops I forgot to answer the search box question!
ReplyDeleteWell you can surely replace your current search box code with that of Google custom search box. But then the stylization will have to be done separately. And I don't recommend editing the Adsense code. though some people have customized the search code but I still prefer not editing it. If you get banned just once you will never have a second chance! So people who are experimenting can not be trusted.
However you can use that search box at a different location. For example below your post body, just above comment box. Or inside the four column widget at bottom.
Hope that was the answer of question :>
Thanks for answering my query Mohammad.
ReplyDeleteI liked your idea of placing search box in post body, but could not do it successfully. I did parse the adsense code but could not get through it :( please help me out
@Ms Hatil PAtil
ReplyDeleteIt is a simple logic to add anything below post title add your code below <data:post.body/> and to add anything below post body add it below <data:post.body/>
So add your search box code below <data:post.body/>
Hope that will help a lot :>
i have done as u told..but adsense ad is not appearing......
ReplyDeleteand plz tell me how can i add adsense anywhere........
urgent plz...
@All PC Tools
ReplyDeleteI can't remember what did I instructed you. From what I understand you are having difficulty in integrating the adsense code. Dear you just need to get the code from adsense.com and then parsed the code using this tool -> HTML Encoder
After you have parsed (made it compatible with Blogger) simply do this,
1. Go To Blogger > Layout > Edit HTML
2. Click the Expand Widget Templates box at top-right-corner
Now To display adsense ads below post titles, simply paste your adsense code above this line,
<data:post.body/>
and to shows adds at the bottom of posts then paste your adsense code below this code,
<data:post.body/>
For showing ads else where like your sidebar or near the header as I have done then simply select the Adsense widget from Layout >Page Elements page. And choose your preferred ad format.
I hope that was the answer of your query. For further help, please do not hesitate to ask :>

Hello Mohammad many thanks to you for this template. I have two problems. First one is Page Navigation buttons not showing on firefox and Google chrome. But I can see them on Internet explore. I also add it as you explain in "Stylized Page Navigation Widget" post but same result.
ReplyDeleteAnd the second one is when I read single post I can’t see your beautiful home, next, previous buttons in the bottom of the post. I upload them and add the image links manually. But nothing is shown. Once again browsing through the Internet explore I can see those buttons and they work as they should be. I can’t understand why they only work on IE. Could u please be kind enough to help me with this? (Sorry for my poor English) (my mail is pbcmatrix(at)yahoo(dot)com)
Or else could you tell me how to show older post button instead of page navigation menu.Hope you will see my above question and help me. thanks.
ReplyDeleteHumble Apologies that I delayed the replies due to hectic schedule.
ReplyDelete@asanka
Dear due to Blogger's change of design many errors have occured in custom templates. One of this issue is Older New and Home Links. I am trying to figure out a way and will write a whole new post once I am done with it. And yeh never use IE6 because it is no more recommended by designers and will be replaced soon by IE7 or IE8 in versions of windowsXP.
You can see these buttons in my template and exactly same coding is used for all my templates but don't know why it stopped appearing in other templates. I am working on it and will soon forward a solution.
Thanks for your kind respond.Hope you will post it soon.keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteHad I used this template in the very beginning, my learning curve would have been much shorter. I suppose, every newbie had to endure it, I suppose. The fact that this template is Search engine optimized, convinced me to adapt this.
ReplyDeleteHowever, it still doesn't incorporate the 'post title hack' needed for SEO purposes. The stylized page navigation does not work even after following the directions on download page.
I still love it. Thanks & Kudos to Mustafa, definitely a cool dude for all newbie bloggers.
How to download download your templates....i already subscribe...my email is bmmahawangsa@gmail...
ReplyDeletevery nice theme ia hav a problem with it

ReplyDeletelike pages count

And all my post hav readmore buttons which cut of the bookmarking and related post options
ReplyDeleteand even other pages have read more butons at end which do not going to expand anything as it is placed at the end.
@Bazeeth about "And also their is no page navigation like pages count or previous home next"
ReplyDeleteyou need add them.The template isn't perfect 'cause every user(of any template) is free to choose the best for his site.
Check other Mohammad's posts and don't forget to take a look at the latest posts. xP

Thanks a lot Mohd, i had been searching for such a theme and you fulfilled it. i have a question though. Can i remove the attribute? and one more. how can i add a image like your's instead of that curtain like image?
ReplyDelete@Amith
ReplyDeleteBuddy an attribute is the only favour you give us in return of our efforts. :>
Yeh you can add an image header by going to Design > Page Elements and then hit the Edit link on the header to add your logo.
I am really amazed by this. I am using this template right now in my blog, I have deleted the sub nav bar and i want to get it back, what do i do?

1. You better read this post -> Add Adsense Anywhere in your blog posts
and in order to always appear adsense below post titles like I do simply paste your adsense code below data:post.body
PS: First encode the adsense code using Encode HTML
2- I will fix this problem soon. Please be patient. :>

@Mohammad - Blog Pager is not working.Please help???????
ReplyDeleteDemo - rrri7510.blogspot.in
I am not using any page navigator and page navigator are not working...
This is a nice template but unfortunately the Page Navigation doesn't work and also the "Older Post & Newer Post" is invisible. I've tried everything but no luck.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone recommend a blogger template which is kinda similar to this? This is really an awesome template, I just hope that someone is smart enough to figure out whats wrong with the Page Navigation (The "Older Post/New Posts) only works on IE)
ReplyDeleteI love this blog and the author Mohammad... I must say that this template is super but after implementing i found few bugs :
ReplyDelete1. No page navigation.
2. No Read More hack working
So as far as first bug is concerned, here is a simple code to add before the ]]>
.blog-pager,#blog-pager{
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:14px;
width:600px;
text-align:center;
}
About the second bug : here is the best way http://www.anshuldudeja.com/2009/05/automatic-read-more-hack-for-blogger.html

I wish to make the following changes - at the homepage; instead of showing in full, how can I make it "auto crop" a portion of the image to be shown on homepage?
