- USAGE NOTES -

Changing links in menu bar:

2. Find this code in the layout using Firefox search (without spaces between ">")

< li >< a href='http://YOUR_URL.blogspot.com/' > Home < /a >< /li >
< li >< a href='http://' > Link 1 < /a > < /li >
< li > < a href='http://' > Link 2 < /a > < /li >
< li > < a href='http://' > Link 3 < /a > < /li >
< li > < a href='http://' > Link 4 < /a > < /li >

3. Edit the links or add more of your own by changing the text in the code.

E.G.

"http://YOUR_URL.blogspot.com/" TO "http://coverday.blogspot.com/"

"http://" TO "http://yourpage.com"

"Link 1" TO "My Page"

For those of you who get the wrong formatting error, just try to upload twice. Like, when you got the error, just reapload it at once. Sometimes your old template messes with your new template as you're trying to upload it.

this one also has the 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: The document type declaration for root element type "html" must end with '>'.
