During common, the process to chase is:
- Open the template-editor
- Make a back-up ape of the guide, as it is promptly

How to edit your guide
Make a backup ape of your current guide:
It's tempting to skip this if you're single making a small revolution. I even skip it myself every so often. And it's not considered necessary if this is the chief stage you've still customised your guide - since you can recover from problems by truly reinstalling the standard guide.
But if you would be upset to lose several guide changes you made earlier, or if the revolution you are making promptly is not minor, followed by I strongly propose making a ape or you start, truly in argument. To look after this
- Click the Backup / Restore button go up to the top justification of the control panel (as revealed below)
- Click the Download Full Template button, and followed by linger while the organizer downloads.
- After the download has finished, discovery the place wherever your notebook puts downloaded annals.
- Find the organizer to facilitate was truly twisted,
- Rename it to something reasonable
- (eg MyBlog guide backup or revolution 31 Jan 2012.Xml)
Make the revolution to your guide:
- Check whether the revolution you are making needs the Expand Widgets checkbox sour or on, and plunk it to the justification state.
- (If the article revealing you would like to revolution doesn't allusion it, followed by believe it must be sour.)
- Find the code you need to revolution:
- See this article from Southern Speakers if you're not convinced how to consume the find-feature to facilitate Blogger own promptly built into the guide editor.
Note: Many of the "how to" articles say to nominate convinced to facilitate the Expand Widgets checkbox sour or on. This checkbox has promptly been unconcerned from Blogger's guide editor. If the information you are following says to leave it "off", followed by you must truly be able to chase it as is. However if you are told to try it on, followed by you need to discovery the correct part of the code by searching representing the widget-id or section appoint, and followed by "unfold" to facilitate to distinguish the complete code.
Make the revolution (this article doesn't make for into the main beliefs of guide design, at hand are a load of other articles and websites around to facilitate: I'm assuming to facilitate you know come again? You need to do).
Click the Preview button:
If Blogger can nominate get the impression of the revolution you made, followed by a modern window or tab opens, presentation a behold to facilitate looks like your blog's homepage. It's not a real ape of your blog (the relatives won't handiwork, the spacing might not be quite the same, and it will own the word "Preview" diagonally in the top not here corner).
Do a quick check to facilitate the screen looks justification - representing a quantity of changes you even be able to tell if the revolution has been winning truly from this preview screen.
However: If the modern window/tab shows an slip message like
Your guide can not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please nominate convinced to facilitate all XML elements are blocked appropriately. <br/> XML slip message: The element type "div" be required to be terminated by the matching end-tag "</div>".Error 500
Or
Your guide can not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please nominate convinced to facilitate all XML elements are blocked appropriately. <br/> XML slip message: Element type "b:Widget" be required to be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>".
Followed by Blogger has not been able to understand the revolution you made. Sometimes the slip message gives a clue around what's injure, although it can be misleading. Check to facilitate you made the revolution precisely - set-up several errors and click Preview again. If it still doesn't handiwork, ask representing help from the place to facilitate suggested the revolution you are making.
Once you are content to facilitate the preview screen looks OK, click the Save or Save guide button.
How to test your guide revolution:
Some guide changes can be checked very effortlessly, every so often from the preview screen.
But if your revolution isn't visible on the front screen, you be required to check it in the same way as you own useful it. What to verify depends on your guide type, come again? The revolution was, and come again? Other skin tone (eg the page-gadget as a menu, the archive widget, ) your blog uses. You need to decide come again? To test, based on all of these.
At slightest, I alwways click on and check on these things what time I've made a major guide revolution:
- The interior bleep
- The items in the menu fasten
- A label survey
- An archive widget admission
- Custom-search-engine results
- Explanation
And if I'm being particularly reader-focussed, I'll furthermore check these things in more than solitary browser: Typically in the current version of Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome.
Fixing Problems:
If you discovery to facilitate the guide revolution has caused problems, followed by ou own own a wealth to nominate:
Can you and your readers live with the problems on your blog representing "a while", while you look representing other solutions?
Or
Do you need to remove the revolution justification promptly, so visitors can consume your blog as it was while you solve the issues.
There is rejection justification answer to this question: It's a special decision, based on the blog, and your readers.
But if you look after need to remove the guide revolution, here's how to look after it:
- Click the Backup / Restore button go up to the top justification of the control panel
- Click Choose File and discovery the organizer to facilitate you downloaded earlier
- Click Upload.
It is unsurpassed to restore your guide or you own tainted several gadgets. If you comprehend a message around widgets being missing, followed by it way to facilitate the gadgets associated with your blog are not the ones referred to in the guide. If this happens, you need to decide whether to deep or delete several "orphaned" ones, and may well need to check their settings again.
Making complicated changes:
If you your guide may well need a lot in life of "surgery" while you suppose improbable how to nominate a revolution, followed by it may well be a respectable goal to build a undisclosed test-blog to look after the handiwork in, and single ape the contents into your "real" blog guide what time you are selected to facilitate you've got it correct (or correct-enough).
