Template Customization

Basic Template Installation:

1.First download the template and unzip the file.

2.Now, sign in to Blogger dashboard and click on the layout.

3.Here is the important step, after uploading any new Blogger template, all of the previous widgets like your google adsense ads,text,profile,poll,etc etc will be lost.
So, to avoid this to happen, in this step click on 'edit' on all the widgets and copy the codes into notepad,etc.

4.Now click on the 'Edit html' tab

5.First of all please Download Full Template.This is to back up your present template.If the new template that you are going to upload makes/gets into some errors or if you make more complex errors in that,then you will loose everthing.So make sure that you back up your template.

6.Just below that,there's an option of uploading new template.So, use the Browse button and upload the downloaded xml file.

7.Now, a message appear saying that your widgets are about to be deleted.Click on the Confirm & Save (no problem doing this because we already copied the widget codes in Step 3).

8.Now click on "confirm and save".Now you successfully installed the template.

8.Click on the 'Page elements' page now and add the codes that you copied in step3 using the 'Add a Page Element' option.

  7. Go to you http://www.youtube.com/.

    Select your video and get EMBED code for your video(set video width to 280px or less).It will like this:

    <object width="280" height="275"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tWkpfvd_XI0&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tWkpfvd_XI0&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="280" height="275"></embed></object>

    Now convert your youtube code from here:

    http://www.blogcrowds.com/resources/parse_html.php

    Now your code will look like this:

    &lt;object width=&quot;280&quot; height=&quot;275&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/tWkpfvd_XI0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/tWkpfvd_XI0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; width=&quot;280&quot; height=&quot;275&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;

    Now replace, "ENTER-TAB1-CONTENT-HERE" with your converted youtube code.

    Now save your template.

  17. Hey please help me for this too. should I have to create account for various social bookmarking site to use the social book marking icons use. Should I have to change any coding.

    Reply

  18. Hello Rojin Giri,

    You want to create accounts in social bookmarking site,to use social book marking icons yourself,in this template.But it is not essential.Because these social icons mainly for your visitors,not for you.Also you don't want to change any code.

  21. i have trouble when i change video.

    Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly.
    XML error message: The reference to entity "hl" must end with the ';' delimiter.

    Why ?

    Below I have expained how to add a youtube video to your tab view widget.

    Go to you http://www.youtube.com/.

    Select your video and get EMBED code for your video(set video width to 280px or less).It will like this:

    <object width="280" height="275"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tWkpfvd_XI0&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tWkpfvd_XI0&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="280" height="275"></embed></object>

    Now convert your youtube code from here:

    http://www.blogcrowds.com/resources/parse_html.php

    Now your code will look like this:

    &lt;object width=&quot;280&quot; height=&quot;275&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/tWkpfvd_XI0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/tWkpfvd_XI0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; width=&quot;280&quot; height=&quot;275&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;
