How To Change The Blogger Template

effi | Jun 07, 2006 | Article, | 5 Comments |

Important! Backup your current template before change it to the new one. How to do: select all (Ctrl+A) and copy (Ctrl+V), then paste it (Ctrl+V) into Notepad. Save. This are the steps to change the Blogger template.

  1. Download the new template.
  2. Extract the .zip or .rar file using a program like “winzip”:http://www.winzip.com/.
  3. Open the html file. You can use Notepad to open it.
  4. Upload the images files to a free webhosting. I prefer “photobucket”:http://www.photobucket.com/ to host my images. Just follow the easy steps to register, login, and upload your images there.
  5. Go to your Blogger account dashboard.
  6. Click on the icon under ‘Change Settings’. Click on ‘Template’.
  7. Copy (Ctrl+C) your new template’s code that already open in Notepad, and paste (CTRL+V) to the Template area.
  8. Change the images name in your new template with the new url of your images.
  9. Click on Save Template Changes.
  10. Republish.

    Please correct the error below, and submit your template again.
    Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly.
    XML error message: White spaces are required between publicId and systemId.

    Hi Plastikman, the Dolphin theme actually is not for Blogger Beta/new Blogger. It is for the old version. Please read my article in http://www.templatepanic.com/article/how-to-use-classic-non-widget-template-in-blogger-beta.

    :smile: Thanks so very much for this tutorial post and comment. I have been (unsuccessfully)trying to install a different theme into Blogger for a few hours and was getting palpitations and starting to sweat. That’s unseemly, neh? You’ve come to the rescue! Again many thanks.

    Regards,
    Mary Lynn

    Hi, i am pretty new to the blogosphere. Thanks for the info. I have a question. I have added a search engine tracking code to my blogger default template. Do i have to enter it again to change the template?
