I want to include the tutorial of “how to change, modify, and adding plugins for Wordpress blog” in my TemplatePanic blog. I am not an expert in blogging, but I believe that this tutorial can help you who really need this information.

You can browse the live demo for the modified Wordpress blog here.

The first time that you have to do is to find the basic template. I prefer Flickred 2.0.2 by Small Potato because it is simple both design and navigation, and has good looking even there is no image needed. Template that has no image will load faster.

Download and extract the .zip file, and upload it to folder /wp-content/themes/. (more…)

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.
