Backing Up Your Template
The goodness just never stops here at the world famous Blog Flak underground headquarters in New Orleans. I’ve put up a cool new tutorial intended just for you newbie bloggers. I know you’re out there! Recent statistics from Technorati show that as many as 70,000 new weblogs are created each day all over the world! To help get you into the swim quickly and avoid some of the riptide, I’ll be bringing more and more easy to follow tutorials on how to do lots of basic things to your blog but you were too afraid to ask!
This one is just what the title of the post says, making a backup copy of your blogs template or “skin” as many people call it, they are one and the same. The HTML coding is how your web browser knows how to display the colors and images and layout of all webpages including blogs and it can be easy to screw it up if you don’t know your way around. Customizing the appearance of your blog is a natural urge for most people, of course you want it to look different from everyone elses! It’s YOURS after all, right?
Often people are afraid to mess up anything by tinkering with the code to pretty up their blog, but if you have a backup copy of what it was like before hand you can tinker away fearlessly! I know when you first look at the tutorial it may appear to be a long process but it really takes less than a minute to do from start to end. After you’ve done it a couple of times you will see just how simple the procedure is. Give it a try!
You can find the tutorial right here… Or by clicking “Blog Help” in the sidebar.
