Starting off -- How to change the Template in HTML

Go to the editing mode of Blogger-- click on the Template tab-- then click on HTML. Copy your HTML code from your Template to a word document to see the code better. Save two documents of this code. You will have the original code if you make any mistakes. The other name as Revisions -- you can start to change the code in this word document. This way you will be able to undue any unsuccessful changes in word, unlike if you were editing on Blogger.

Create an editing system.

When you make changes, make them in your word doc-- select all text with ctrl A or Apple A then copy all the code in the area with ctrl C or Apple C.

Next Go to the Template Tab -- Go to the Edit html tab and paste the new code by hitting ctrl A or Apple A and delete the text in the box and paste the new text by hitting ctrl P or Apple P.
When looking at the code there is a lot going on and it can be very intimidating. Don't worry. If you change something using your editing system you can always undo and try it again.
