Comments on: I’m Thankful for the Web http://xpsdesign.com/blog/2008/11/im-thankful-for-the-web/ nerdy notes from suburbia Thu, 28 Jan 2010 09:28:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Psolaris http://xpsdesign.com/blog/2008/11/im-thankful-for-the-web/comment-page-1/#comment-41 Psolaris Mon, 01 Dec 2008 16:13:00 +0000 http://xpsdesign.com/blog/2008/11/im-thankful-for-the-web/#comment-41 I'm currently using one of the very <i>few</i> templates that Blogger supplies. I'm getting bored with the design...and because I'm no HTML master, I found a site that makes templates for you. They'll have templates for this, Facebook, Myspace, LiveJournal, etc. I've tried templates from their sites, and from others that I've found, in any attempt to get a new layout. But it never fails. I get an error message once I actually try and apply the thing. Preview works fine, just won't apply. Makes me sad. :(<br /><br />I bet I have a monkey friend that just might be able to help me someday. And he makes some wicked great lemon drops too! I'll have to bribe him with some free dinner once Chris and I get that new house and see if he can figure out my problem. :) I’m currently using one of the very few templates that Blogger supplies.

Short answer: I'm a web monkey and I make Blogger do my bidding :)<br /><br />Very weird that your preview would look good but it doesn't end up working for real. Are you using a "classic" Blogger template, or one of their newer layouts? <br /><br />You might just have to friend up a monkey to whip something up. That stinks!

And here's the real question, why, when I put in the template, it works when I hit "Preview" but it doesn't work once I acctually apply the darn thing?? If it won't work, if the HTML is off, then it shouldn't work in "Preview" either!! I've been trying andn trying and trying, and when that fails, I go to the help boards...or should I say "NO HELP" boards. I can't even email a question to the folks at Bloger, any time I hit a "Help" link, it forwards me to some kind of Google Forum with folks that have a similar problem to mine, but NO ONE HAS ANY FIXES???<br /><br />I give up!!!
