Fiksioner v3 is Out! The Best Free Blogger Theme Just Got Even Better


Igniel just outdid herself with the latest Fiksioner update! The
Fiksioner v3 is finally out today. The updated theme supposedly has a better
compatibility with the new Blogger system. It also comes with modernized
interface while still retaining Fiksioner's elegant simplicity.

I installed Fiksioner v3 just now in one of my blog to test the
improvements. 
I am not exaggerating that it is infinitely better than Fiksioner v2.
The v3 received radical changes and now it looks completely different compared
to the v2. 



You can
download Fiksioner v3 from Igniel's official website
. You can also read the detailed official change logs there. This article
will highlight the latest Fiksoner's major improvements.












Fiksoner v3 is Still FREE



I am surprised that Fiksoner v3 is still free. The interface, the features,
and the performance are all top tier.
Fiksioner v3 is better than some premium Blogger themes.



Previously, there was no option to remove the credit footer. However, for
those of you who want to remove it, Igniel now provides you with premium
option. Currently the price is only $15 (Rp100,000 if you are Indonesian).



There is
NO DIFFERENCE
between Fiksioner premium and the free version. You can still have the same
full funtionality in the free version.
The premium version only gives you the ability to remove the
footer. 



So is it still worth it to spend $15 for premium version? Heck yes! Especially if you have money to spare. If not, no big deal, the free version
with the credit footer is just as good.



There are at least two good reasons (other than just removing the footer) why
the premium version is worth it:




  • As I have said before, Fiksioner definitely has premium value. If Fiksioner
    were premium-only, $15 would still be cheap for what you could get.



  • Support the theme creator! Igniel could have made Fiksioner as premium only,
    but she didn't do it. That shows her quality as a template designer. She is
    not greedy so reward her hard work!














If you do not have money to spare, Fiksioner free version is completely fine.
No feature will be locked behind the paywall so you will have the same
perfomance as the premium verison. The unremoveable footer is small and
elegant. It will not reduce your blog's professionality at all!

Fiksioner v3 is Easier to Install



You can now easily edit Fiksioner's feature from Blogger's Layout menu. This
is a big game changer for mobile bloggers. You can set up Fiksioner easily
even from your phone.



Previously, in order to set up the theme, you had to edit it from the Blogger
Theme's  Edit HTML. It coud be confusing to locate the code which need to
be edited.



Now, Fiksioner is easier to set up. You do not need to locate the code from
the confusing HTML editor. You can edit the menu  and other features from
the Layout instantly.

Fiksioner v3 Has Amazing Interface



The header is now fixed in place. There is no transformation when you scroll
down. I think it is a good thing because having a fixed menu reduces layout
shift.



The menu shift in v2 was not distracting. It was handled elegantly. However,
the fixed menu in v3 is still preferable for me. It means that the blog will
have a better visual stability.













Fiksioner v3 comes with a floating sidebar! It is a marvelous addition.
But beware,
do not put AdSense ads on a floating sidebar
because I believe it is against the policy. Floating sidebar still it is a
great space to display affiliate products or your non AdSense ads.



Speaking of ads, Fiksioner v3 now has an in-feed ads space on the homepage!



The comment section is also changed. Now it looks way more attractive. I do
not have problem with the simple v2 comment interface, but the update is not
bad at all.



Some people complain that the homepage's thumbnail image dimension in v2 was
not great. I personally did not mind it, it looked fine. Now the thumbnail
will have bigger size and square.

Fiksioner v3 Now Support GA From Blogger Dashboard



It is probably a minor change for most bloggers who do not use Google Analytic
(GA), but for me this is a game changer. You no longer need to put GA tracking
code manually in the head. 



Previously, placing tracking ID in your Blogger dashboard wouldn't work
because the theme was not compatible. It could cause issue with loading speed.
Simplified code is always better.



Now, you can simply put the tracking ID in Blogger dashboard and the GA will
work. It eliminates the need to put JavaScript code inside the head thus your
blog loading speed will not be affected as much.

I can not wait to install Fiksioner v3 in SofanMax. Please note that it is

definitely will pass the information to Iginiel.
