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).

  7. Hi, I have read your guide above on how to remove the read more in static page.It works but the read more button still appear how to hide it or totally disappear?

    Please help me.

  8. @Bennix

    To Remove "Read More" from your static pages follow the steps given below.

    1.Login to blogger dashboard-->Layout-->Edit html.

    2.Click on "Expand Widget Templates".

    3.Find this code:

    <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'><data:post.body/></b:if></p>

    4.Now replace above code with below code:

    <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "static_page"'><data:post.body/></b:if>

    <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'><data:post.body/></b:if></p>

    5.Now find this code block:

    <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != &quot;item&quot;'>
    <div expr:id='&quot;summary&quot; + data:post.id'><data:post.body/></div>
    <script type='text/javascript'>createSummaryAndThumb(&quot;summary<data:post.id/>&quot;);</script>
    <span class='rmlink' style='float:right'><a expr:href='data:post.url'><img src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_T46SliM0-PI/S_OAcXPAZZI/AAAAAAAAAMM/rUsEdh1P7_o/24-large-allblogtools.jpg' style='border-style:none;'/></a></span>
    </b:if>

    6.Replace it with this one:

    <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != &quot;static_page&quot;'>
    <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != &quot;item&quot;'>
    <div expr:id='&quot;summary&quot; + data:post.id'><data:post.body/></div>

    </b:if>
    </b:if>

    7.Now save your template.

  9. @PB
    Thank you man, your such a genius! One more thing I wanted to fix, in the multi-tab in sidebar I want a code that will automatically generate my recent & popular post. I have seen a code for this before from a Jquery site but I can't recall it.

  10. Sir, I have seen your guide above on how to add the popular post script for the sidebar tab but I got this error message:
    Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly.
    XML error message: Element type "a" must be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>".

  11. Hi Lasantha, I have one more question please disregard the last two questions I have found the answer. Sir, the post title and the content has a big space in between, how could I minimize or remove it?
    Thank you in advance...

  12. @Bennix

    find this code:

    .post-body{margin:0 0 .25em;line-height:1.6em}

    Now replace it with this:

    .post-body{margin:-30px 0 .25em;line-height:1.6em}

    save.

  13. Thank you for the fast reply but It doesn't work sir. I see this lines of codes that makes the space..

    Please check my link here:
    http://www.bennixville.com/2011/02/asus-g73jh-tz218v-gaming.html

    as you can see,there is an empty space between the post title and the content. There's no problem with my post content because I know how to remove the br or any spcing code to make it close to the post title but this time it can't.

    Thank you in advance!

  14. Remove that from the template:

    <!--.post-body{margin:0 0 .25em;line-height:1.6em}Remove the Extra Space below the Post Title-->

    Also replace,

    .post-body{margin:-60px 0 .25em;line-height:1.6em}

    with,

    .post-body{margin:-30px 0 .25em;line-height:1.6em}

  15. Thanks Sir, It works now on my old post but some new post I need to backspace...

    Many Thanks to you I love your template...if you have visit my blog and recommends whats the best...
