How to backup Blogger template


This is very useful and important for all Blogger. All blogger will change their blog Template for many reason, which they change style, color, size, communication, plug in, and other. The blog Template is very sensitive. We must carefully change any Code from this.

Are you planning to make changes to your Blogger template?
But before making changes to your Blogger template you must first backup your Blogger templates. Backup is really essential for Bloggers. When editing there are chances for your template to crash and it will affect the complete site layout. At that instance you can revert it to your previous template by restoring it from backup. Backing up Blogger template is really simple as you can see below.

How to backup Blogger template

Method (1)

(1) Log in your Blog at www.blogger.com
(2) In your Blogger Home, Click on your Blog Name (This is you want to Backing up)

(3) In your blogs dashboard's left side menu, select Template.

(4) Now in the top right corner you can see Backup/Restore button, Click it.

(5) Open the new box and select Download full template.

(6) New dialog box open, choose the Save File and hit the OK .

(7) When download complete, you open the download file location on your Computer. You can see the backup template file as "template-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xml" (Where, 'x' is represent the number). This file name is very difficult to recode for you. So, I advice to rename this file as you like simply. (I recode my backup Template file as Day/Time.)


Method (2)

This is simple method to backup your blog template. I like this method and use.
(1) Also in this method, you will act the step (1) to (3) are the same as Method (1). But you start the method (2) in this step (3) by Clicking the Edit HTML. See this scream shoot.

(2) When the HTML Editor is open, Click the " ◄ " for Expand your Code.

(3) Select all your Code (Click any where in the code area and press Ctrl+A , this easy)
and Copy your Code ( Mouse Right Click in selecting code area and select Copy menu (or) easily press Ctrl+C )

(4) Open your any text editor; such as Note Pad and Paste your copy codes. (this easy by press Ctrl+V )

(5) Save your text editor in your Computer. This Code file is YOUR BACK UP TEMPLATE file.

That for all of my post. Next post , I will share about "How to Restore the Blog Template".
Thank!
