Dear MyBloggerLab Readers,
If you’re reading this, I would like to congratulate you for being a great reader since 5 years. Yes, it’s been 5 years since we started MyBloggerLab in 2012 with an aim that we will provide quality Blogger resources to users, each year brought different challenges, but we opt to never give up on our passion and that was to reshape Blogger.com Platform. I personally like to thank you for your comments, tweets, likes, Google +1s, everything you did to support your favorite blog to help us grow. You indeed made us a popular blog.
In 2012, I started this company in my small living room, I was just 15 years of age, but I had the vision to do something to help facilitate fellow blogger.com users with all the amazing features they always desire to have on their sites. In 2013, we started Templateism.com and within a few months it was a huge success. As a result, a lot of developers were following the trend that Templateism.com started by coping our IDEA. However, it is always a moment of pride for us that because of us a lot of developers started to give importance to Blogger.com.

Time to Rebuild our Goals
In 2017, there is a lot of competition, so we need to build a complete new plan to be able to compete and win against the millions of other websites.
On this great occasion I would like to announce:
"From now on we will also be actively sharing WordPress Tutorials, WordPress Plugins, WordPress Guides and WordPress Themes. Our new goal is to reach more webmasters and to provide them quality plugins for absolutely FREE. However, this doesn't mean we will not push new Blogger.com Tutorials, we will continue to provide Blogger Guides and Tutorials as well."
In Short, our aim is to bring Blogger.com and WordPress platform closer and we want to bridge the gap by providing quality resources for both platforms.
Once again, I would like to thank every single person who helped us grow and maintained their support throughout these years. I would like to acknowledge each and every user who ever shared, liked or commented on our articles. We hope this New Year 2016 would be a memorable year for Blogger as we are working on developing new templates, widgets, tutorials, etc. if anyone has any suggestion then, just message us on our Facebook Page, Tweet us @mybloggerlab or use our contact us form.
Yours Truly,
Syed Faizan Ali
Founder of MyBloggerLab
