Best Way To Install XML Template

1. Backup your current Template just in case you make a mistake. This is very important so you can always go back
Go to "Layout? => ?Edit HTML? section of Blogger and then look for the ?Before editing your template, you may want to save a copy of it. Download Full Template?. Click on the ?Download Full Template? and save it somewhere easy to find later on your computer

2. Now it?s time to upload the new Blogger template from your computer. You?ll want to navigate to the ?Template? => ?Edit HTML? section of Blogger and then look for the ?Upload a template from a file on your hard drive:? text. To the right of that you?ll see two buttons. First, you?ll click on ?Browse? and navigate to the new .xml Blogger template on your computer and click ?Open?. Then you click on the ?Upload? button and cross your fingers.


At this point Blogger is attempting to apply the new .xml Blogger template to your blog. After it?s done, you?ll get a message stating that the upload and new template was applied successfully (in that case you?re done!) or more likely in my case, you?ll get a red error message that states something like:

Widgets are about to be deleted
Please confirm that the following widgets should be deleted. All the widgets? configuration data will be lost.
  • Text1
  • BloggerButton1
  • Poll1
  • Profile1
Now if you?re like me, you don?t want to lose all those widgets (Page Elements) you spent lots of time configuring and arranging on your blog. If you don?t care and really don?t have anything you?ll be upset losing, then go ahead and click on the ?Confirm and Save?.
