HELP GUIDE: Installing Blogger XML Templates

The first thing you do is download the template from the website. Go to http://www.google.com/ and type in keywords like "XML, Blogger, Templates" (This is just one sample... feel free to try others) ....

This will lead you to webpages that offer "Templates" to download... after choosing one you like.... download and save the file to your desktop.

Once you’ve done that your file will be in a .xml or .txt format It’s not necessary to open the file though, you can use the automated file uploader built into Blogger’s control panel.

This makes it easy to install a new template.

BY THE WAY..... when building the BLOG... loading up the template should be the first thing you do... because as we saw in class that day... when you try to change the template ...you may loose some widgets in the process.

Hope this guide helps... I had a tough time with this last week.... looking foward to class on NOV 8th ! :)
