How to install a template:

Read these step by step instructions on how to install an .xml Blogger template. Be careful and don't miss a step!

Hey! My posts are doubled up when I save my widgets when using a new template! WTF?

Sometimes, due to the way things are labelled, you may find the blog posts within your blog are doubled up! Here is how to fix it.

"My comments aren't working!"

Don't panic - there is an easy fix - please read this for instructions on making the comments work again. It's not a big problem.

"'After the Jump' won't work! Why not?"

You have to make a small amendment to the html code. Follow these instructions.

Do you have a button I can put on my site?

Why, yes I do!

Copy & paste this html code into your blog!

"I'm getting the same error message over and over! I have followed the instructions but it's just not installing! HELP! "

There may be a few reasons for getting this error. I have done my best to outline (below) popular causes for getting this error.

1) CHECK YOU HAVE UNZIPPED THE FOLDER YOU DOWNLOADED FROM yummylolly.com:
I offer my templates as zipped (.zip) folders. The zip folder you download from yummylolly.com contains a few files that have been compressed, to reduce their file size. Usually this folder will contain the blogger template - template.xml for example - my terms and conditions and an extra folder which contains the images. You cannot expect to upload this .zip folder and have it work - why?: because it's a compressed folder and not a blogger template. Uploading the .xml file will NOT CAUSE ANY ERRORS but uploading the .zip file will not work. You must UNZIP this folder before installing the template.

If you don't know how to unzip files then I advise you to read this or this. I do not usually use Windows but I believe that for Vista and XP - all you need do is to double click the file to unzip it.

2) TRY ANOTHER BROWSER:
I too get an unexplained error message sometimes when I test my templates. I have no idea why this happens but either waiting a little while or trying another web browser often fixes things.

3) ERRORS WITH WIDGET LABELLING:
If you can *almost* install the template (ie: it asks you to confirm that you're about to delete your widgets but then when you click "ok" you get an error) - then you might need to change something in the code. This error occurs because the widgets are labelled incorrectly and Blogger gets confused when you try and change the template. Please read these instructions.

"Can I trust you? I've heard that people should not download things from sites they don't trust "

There is nothing malicious hidden in my blog nor my files. I *only* make revenue from the ads on my site (not much) and that's just to pay the web hosting bills. I am not interesting in abusing trust - I will never use your email for spam purposes.

"Will you design a custom blogger template for me?"

I'm afraid at this time I have no time to do custom templates. You can buy one-of-a-kind templates from www.acornglue.com! If you email me asking for a custom template please don't be offended if you don't hear back from me.

"I have a Blogger template site and I want to include yours for download. Can I?"

No! These templates are for download only on MY sites and are not to be listed on a 3rd party website under any circumstances. I go to a lot of trouble making these and then you list them on your site to make yourself some revenue? No way.

"I don't know anything about the internet! What browser/settings should I have?"

Make sure you have the latest version of whatever browser you chose! Not only will it be the most secure, but websites will be optimized and look the best.

"I have more questions!!!"

I am not able to offer any help with technical issues any more due to the volume of emails I receive - please take a look at the Google Blogger Help Forums.

I hope you enjoy my templates!
