Step by Step Installation

1.First download the template and unzip the file using winrar or winzip. After extracting the file you will see a folder named Images(incase if you lost) and an xml 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.Next, click on the 'Edit html' tab

5.You'll see an option to download full template (the current template) so, do it!

6.Just below that,there's an option of uploading new template.So, use the Browse button and upload the downloaded xml file(which we discussed in step 1).


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).

Now you successfully installed the template :)
Click on the 'Page elements' page now and add the codes that you copied in step3 using the 'Add a Page Element' option.

Note:The *Images(incase if you lost)* folder contains all the image files used in the template.
Daily thousands of template copies are downloading from this site.. so, in future if my server bandwidth exceeds, you may see images not loading in your sites.So, For this not to happen, Upload all the images to your own server..
Doing this is very simple, Click on the 'Edit html' and go through the template code and replace all the image links(starts with http and ends with .jpg or .gif or .png) with the direct image links you got after uploading the images to any Free image hosting service like photobucket,etc. and SAVE THE CHANGES.

Now, to editing template follow the below steps.

Step 1 : Editing top Navigation links

Go to Layout » Edit html and find this code:

<li><a expr:href='data:blog.homepageUrl'>Home</a></li>

<li><a href='http://bloggertricks.com'>Blogger Templates</a></li>

<li><a href='http://blogger.com'>Blogger</a></li>

<li><a href='http://bloggertricks.com'>Blog Tips</a></li>

and Replace the Anchor text (Blogger Templates,Blogger,Blogtips) and their respective links to your needs.

and again, there's another navigation bar..



Find this code:

<li class='f'><a href='http://google.com'>Google</a></li>

<li><a href='http://bloggertricks.com'>Blogger Templates</a></li>

<li><a href='http://gmail.com'>Gmail</a></li>

<li><a href='http://bloggertricks.com'>Blogging Tips</a></li>

<li><a href='http://blogger.com'>Blogger</a></li>

<li><a href='http://adsense.com'>Adsense</a></li>

and edit the anchor texts,links as you wish.

Step 2: Adding Adsense banners to header and on top of every post.




Step 2 : Edit the logo text

The .psd file is included in the template download file. Just open it with photoshop and edit the text and save it as image file (.jpg or .gif). Next , upload to any image hosting servies and copy the image url of the uploaded image.
Next, go to Edit html and replace this image url in the template with the one you just copied now.
