How to install a Blogger XML template

Make sure you have backed up your template before installing a new one.

(You can also install a HTML template).

1.


You have to choose a XML Template



2.


Save the XML file on your hard disk.



3.


Go to your Blogger Control Panel - Edit HTML



4.


Browse the XML file you have saved and upload it.



5.
Finished!

JuLo said...

When I follow the above instructions I get the following error: 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 content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup.

Please advise! I've tried multiple templates from multiple websites. Nothing works!

Ciao senti anche per me lo stesso errore. seguo le tue istruzioni per caricare un nuovo template ma quando faccio "carica" ma da il seguente errore:
"Non è stato possibile analizzare il tuo modello, in quanto non è strutturato correttamente. Assicurati che tutti gli elementi XML presentino il tag di chiusura richiesto.
Messaggio di errore XML: The document type declaration for root element type "html" must end with '>'. "
Che mi consigli?
Grazie mille

I don't get the "browse" option. is it because I have a Mac? Or is it because I use Safari as my browser? HELP! I love this background and I want to use it!

thanks for the help but i'm experiencing a problem almost similar to "Julo" where after i pasted the codes, this message appeared in red and the template was failed to be used in my blog.

"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 processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed."

Please give me some help. Thanks in advance.

darksun said...

I get the same message, the same error message as more than half the people here...is this a big with blogger, cause it happens with all templates from any site. What are we doing wrong, and has this problem been reproduced by you? It is pretty major as no template can be customized - can you please post that you either cannot help with this, or that you will not help with this? Or a help post to let us know what to do right? I followed all instructions and know my way around lines of code - so...please, please, please?
Thanks
