Blogger template tutorial
These are some basic instructions on how to install a blogger template that tou found at zizioo.com
If the templates blogger offers are not satisfying you or if you want to have something different then you can find and download for free a new template at zizioo .
The procedure is not straightforward so i will try to give some instructions:
- First of all you find the template you like and download it localy in your pc
Unzip the downloaded file and you have a folder containing a screenshot image , a file named main.xml and a directory called images. - The problem with blogger is that images have to be uploaded somewhere else and load them from that location.The best place is picasa as it uses the same credentials as your blog at blogger.com (google). Alternatives are imageshack or any place of your own that can provide a url to each image location (e.g. http://some.place.com/images/imagename.jpg) . So you can download and install picasa on your pc and then upload all images from the images directory to your picasa account.
- Open the exported main.xml file and modify the image paths to reflect the location you’ve chosen to place the image files.
- Log in to your Blogger Dashboard.
- Click the "Layout" link on the Dashboard
- Browse for main.xml on your local drive.
- Click the "Upload" button.
- Confirm and Save.
Now you can enjoy your new template
I hope it was helpfull
