How to Change Your Blog Template

This is pretty simple, and will make your blog look great! Some like the simplicity of the blogger templates blogger supplies, but pyzam.com has some pretty awesome ones!
1) Go to pyzam.com and find a template you want for your blog.
2) Under the picture of the template, there is a link that says "Get The Code". Click on that.
3) Now, highlight and copy the code.
4) Go to your blog and log in. If it does not automatically bring you to your Dashboard, go there.
5) Click on the link that says "Layout".
6) Under the "Layout" subtitle bar, click on "Edit HTML".
7) Highlight and delete your old template code.
8) Paste your new code into the box.
9) Finally, click "Save Template".

Most of the time, a warning will come up saying that uploading your new template will delete your gadgets. To get them back, follow these steps (starting at your Dashboard).

1) Click on "Layout".
2) On the right of the blog outline, find and click on "Add a Gadget".
3) Search through the list of gadgets until you find the ones you would like to put up.

If you have more than one gadget, you will need to repeat this a few times.


Good luck!

How to Start a Blog on Blogger

Lately, in the Etsy chats many have said "I don't know how to blog". So, I thought I would write a tutorial about creating a blog on google's blog hosting site- blogspot.com.
1) Go to blogspot.com
2) Click the rectangular orange button that says "CREATE A BLOG".
3) Now, you will have to create a blogger account. Enter all the fields and click "Continue". Make sure that you read and accept the terms of service.
4) Pick a name for your blog and your blog's web address.
5) Next, you will have to choose a premade blogger template. This can be changed later.
6) CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE NOW CREATED YOUR BLOG! Click on the "START BLOGGING" arrow!

Soon, I will be posting more tutorials on how to change your blogs templates, how to tag, how to post, and more! If there is anything specifically you would like me to post about, just add a comment here and I will do my best!


XXXXX,
