A client emailed me today, informing me that Blogger was forcing the upgrade to the New Blogger. I couldn't find evidence of it, but I will tell you that the most important thing before you do make the (inevitable) switch is to save your Blogger template.
Here are the steps to do just that.
In my next post I will outline the steps in making the switch to the New Blogger, which will include the transformation of your current sidebar into the New Bloggers Widget system. Once you make the switch, you will be able to move things around much more easily. While the New Blogger has it's pitfalls in design, the end-user ease-of-use factor is manageable.
So here we go:
Sign into your Blogger account.
Choose your blog from the Dashboard.
Click on "Template."
Select your entire template by right-clicking and choosing "Select all":
(all images are at the original post at How2Blog - click them only if you need the screenshots)
Right click and choose "copy":
Open Notepad. To open Notepad, go to "Start," "All Programs," "Accessories," then "Notepad."Right click in the middle of Notepad and choose "Paste."
Save the file to your desktop. You'll need it when I discuss the other half of this column later this week.
