My Template settings only has "Edit HTML" "Pick New" "Customize Design" & "AdSense". Not what tour screen shots show? And there is no place to upload the XML files. Is this a setting on my blog that's being missed? or have they changed the way blogs are edited and we can't use this template?
Thanks.
@Anonymous,
You using classic template .. thats why you are not able upload a template.. you need to upgrade your template for use XML file. just follow below instruction to upgrade your template
Goto "Customize Design" tab -> Click "Upgrade Your Template" button -> Choose any template you like -> Click "Save Template" button.
Now the menus will be changed as
* Page Elements
* Fonts and Colors
* Edit HTML
* Pick New Template
.. Goto "Edit HTML" -> now you can upload any template ...
Thanks for your query.
I have successfully uploaded the template "Dark World." But when I go to settings to set up my page elements, the work area is only showing information about 1/2 in deep. I have to try and scroll through only seeing 1/2 at a time. I know with other templates this area is full screen. Is this a problem with the template I chose?
It is remarkable, rather useful idea
