I remember how many occasions I had to use the restore option when I could not successfully edit my template, so this introduction will make working with code easy.
It is now possible for one to jump to a specific widget for editing, it allow one to move, for instance post title above post dateand vice versa etc. from the new edit template.
How to edit the new Blogger Template
Editing the new Blogger template is not difficult, your idea on the previous template will enable you edit this new one.
We are going to demonstrate here
For instance you want to search for <body> tag; this is how to go about it
1. From your blog Dashboard => Template=> Edit HTML and you will see something like the picture below
Note: using CTRL +Fwill open the Find Bar outside the editor, so make sure you click inside the editor before you press CTRL +F because this is only when you will be able to edit the HTML codes
2. Now click inside the editor
2. Now click inside the editor
3. Press CTRL+F on the keyboard and the search bar will pop up
4. Type whatever you want to search and hit enter key on your keyboard, (in this illustration, we use <body>)
5. Your search result will be highlighted in the editor (see <body> highlighted below)
Functions of the buttons in the new template editor
1. Back: Pressing this button will take you back by one page.
2. Save Template: this button saves your template after editing it, using this button also will show you error message if you make any mistake during editing, if this should happen, the best thing to do is to use the Revert Changes to clear the error so that you can try again.
3. Jump to Widget: this will allow you jump to a specific widget, just click on the drop down arror next to Jump to Widget and select the widget you want to edit.
4. Edit Template: Just like the name, this will put your editor in editing mood in readiness for editing
5. Preview Template: This button will allow you see the result of your editing, it is used to see the final work done on your editor, it will show exactly how your blog will look like when you might have saved you template using the Save template button.
6. Format Template: this button will NOT delete, change, remove or add anything to your editor instead it makes your clear and readable.
7. Revert Changes: this button will remove all unsaved codes, especially error codes added to your editor, this button is useful when your editor refuses to save due to error(s)
8. Revert Widget template to Default: this button should be used with caution, intact this button should not be used at all except if you want to remove all customization done to your blog, in other words, it returns your blog to its original state (before customization).
