Changing Blogger Templates.
Published by BloggerMom on Oct 23, 2007 at 9:34 PMA Step by step guide to changing your blogger templates:
Your new blog is all set up but you decide to give it a face lift.Choosing and then changing template can be daunting especially if you are just getting started and have now clue what HTML/XML is about(i still don't have a clue)!!
If you are using one of those default templates your screen probably looks like one of these:
First - You need to find a template you really like. You don't want to change the template and look of your blog often, since people get used to and expect a certain look and quality from a blog over time. Select the template and download a copy of the code and save it to your computer.
Assuming that you are using the new blogger, you can go to the dashboard and click on Layout option.
This will take you to somewhat advanced settings. Click on the Edit HTML option from those seen below.
Before making any changes to your template, it is always advisable to make a backup copy of the existing template. To do so, just click on "Download Full Template" and save a copy to your computer.
To change the existing template, hit the choose button which will let you browse to the to the location where you have downloaded the new template....and simply upload the new file.
If you want to skip the trouble of saving the template to your pc and upload it back to blogger, you can copy the new template code from the source and paste it in your "Edit HTML" area. Just make sure you back up the existing template first.
After the uploading or copy paste is complete, the Edit HTML box will reflect the new template. Preview the template and hit "Save" if you like what you see. That's it..no rocket science here.
Yes this is the basic way to change your blogger template

Very nice, Wendy. I tried to update to the new templates, recently as well. But I could not get my widgets to co-operate. They refused to appear in the positions where I placed them and the drop down feed subscription button just went dead - it just turned into a little graphic. Useless. So I've switched back to the old template until I get clever enough to get it sussed.
Thanks so very much for this tutorial post . 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.
