- Open Wordpad or another editor and start a new empty text document. (Notepad++ is excellent for that purpose)
- The main structure of any web page is :
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Remember that the HEAD section usually contains general info (such as title, style properties, etc), where as the BODY section includes the main contents and structure.
- For this to work as basic XML template though, to this basic structure, we must add a few more details. Check out the differences marked in red.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<html expr:dir='data:blog.languageDirection' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' xmlns:b='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/b' xmlns:data='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/data' xmlns:expr='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/expr'>
<head>
<b:skin><![CDATA[
]]></b:skin>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
-
Copy/Paste the above text to your empty Text Document. Save your document as Test.xml.
-
Return to your blogger account (in Edit HTML) and choose Browse to find your template (test.xml) and then upload it.
-
If it asks for your permission to delete several widgets, if this blog is really an experimental one, then accept.
-
Reload your blog page (xxxxx.blogspot.com). What you must be seeing now is nothing but a blank screen.
