For blogger.com
First go to your dashboard. I just upgraded my blog to google blog. Then you will see this. click on Template. Then it will take you another page. This is where you put your html codes. You don't post it in Settings. |

i think the problem only applies to the blogs established AFTER upgrading.
i've got 2 blogs, one before upgrading and the other one after i upgrade and integrate it with my google account. this is what under the "template" section of my new blog: * Page Elements * Fonts and Colors * Edit HTML * Pick New Template and this is what under the old blog of mine: * Edit HTML * Pick New * Customize Design * AdSense See? so i think the problem is associate with the different code structure required by the old blogs and the updated ones... (i've tried to change the codes on my old blog with another temoplate on createblog and it works perfectly) unfortunately, i'm not a coder so... i'm also asking for help since all the codings on createblog only works for my older blog, but not the new one. you replace CODE <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' xmlns:b='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/b' xmlns:data='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/data' xmlns:expr='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/expr'> with oh thanks this works! but how can i change the other templates as well??? alright, i know how to use the old codes now... you have to shoose "template"-->"edit html"-->" Revert to Classic Template " at the bottom of the page... |

You just have to make sure that the template is on classic HTML, not the new XML. I have the new Google Blogger, and I'm still able to use these templates. |

Click on your Template tab. Then click on Edit HTML. Scroll down to the bottom and click on Revert to Classic Template.

Hi all,
I was hoping you could help a newbie out. I'm no star with layouts. I just registered at Blogger, wanting to use this layout code: (see below) But when I paste it into template it gives me an error, saying the code isn't right. I've read through the threads and tried fixing it on my own, without much success as you can see. Now I'm no pro with html (at all) so please help me. It's probably something stupid I missed, but please help. QUOTE <!-- start code provided by createblog.com -->
