Saving and Installing a Template on Blogger / Blogspot

Let this be my first post on how to install a Blogger/Blogspot template.

It is the most basic of all notes but it is important.

If we are replacing an existing template, we can save that existing template before replacing it with a new template.

To save your existing Blogger / Blogspot template, as follows:

1) Log in to your Blogger / Blogspot dashboard.

2) Select Template > Backup / Restore (located on the top right hand corner)

3) Click on Download Full Template. This is to save the existing template. Take note of the location of the saved xml file.

4) To upload a new template, click on the Choose File button  > Locate the new template file that you have downloaded and save. Refer to the picture above.

5) Click on upload to initiate the new template.

6) If you have any existing widgets, select Keep Widgets.
