Aliquam eget laoreet metus. Quisque auctor dolor fermentum nisi imperdiet
vel placerat purus convallis.
</div> <!--end .author-description-->
</div> <!--end .entry-author-->
and change as you want . That's all for editing ,save template and upload it to
Blogger .
8,Go to Blogger Dashboard,continue to Page element .
9,To show category in navigation bar ,click on edit button on menu widget and add
link to your category . Link to a category in Blogger has structure :
"http://your blog. blogspot.com/search/label/your_category"
Do the same for category bar in footer and sidebar .
10,To add video ,click on video wiget ,and paste the embed code of video ,the
size for video is 280x250 ,so you need to adjust your embed code for showing
video at this size .
11,There are many ads widgets ,you can click on edit link in each widget for
adding your ads code .
12,Save template and you are done .
Ps: many of my templates using fluid width ,so elements will be mess up if they
have no content . I can use fixed size for making an element stick in a specific
position ,but they won't show yours content enough if it longger than element
size or size of browser windows are different .
So if you see your blog messed up after install ,pls make some content ,and it
will show up .For example ,if your blog has only 6 post ,to see template in well
condition ,pls add the same label to 6 posts ,and change value of all label
variables (from label1 to label11) in step 5 to this label ,you will see elements
in its position .
This way applied to all of my template if you see it messed up .
Note : if you don't see page navigation bar in bottom of category page (Newer
posts,older posts,home) ... You can :
-Open template in word editor ,find '.pagenavi' and it will lead you to CSS code
of page navigation bar ,add these attribute : text-align:center;clear:both;
-Find <div class='pagenavi' id='blog-pager'> and delete id='blog-pager' to <div
class='pagenavi'>
