Problems Downloading Templates

Problems Downloading Templates

If you have problems downloading the templates here, follow these instructions:
  1. Download the XML file of the template that you want.
  2. Open the XML file in a text editor, like WordPad or Notepad++.
  3. Using the editor search function, find the text 'widget id'.
  4. All the widget id texts have lines that look like this: '<b:widget id="'example1'...'
  5. Change all the numbers to double digit numbers. E.g., change 'example1' to 'example11', 'example2' to 'example 22', and so on.
  6. Once you're done changing all the numbers in the widget id lines, save the template.
  7. Then upload the template into your blog from the Layout > Edit HTML > Upload button.
  8. You're done. Hopefully this works.
The idea is by changing the numbers to bigger numbers, you'll avoid having the widget numbers conflicted with the existing widgets with the same number.

We tried it ourselves and it worked! Good luck.

If it doesn't work, see this instructions.
