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.
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 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.
