Cat Napper - free XML template

Here's a super cute blog template with your own navigation bar. The "home" link is already working, and there are instructions in the code, but here's how to add your own links:

1. Log into blogger. Click on "EDIT HTML"
   
   
2. Scroll down the large box of code until you see the following (it's near the end)
   
   <li><a href="'/'">Home</a></li>
   <li><a href="'#'">Link Here</a></li>
   <li><a href="'#'">Link Here</a></li>
   <li><a href="'#'">Link Here</a></li>
   

To add your own links:
replace the "#" symbol with your link URL and then edit the "Link Here" text to be the name of your link (see colour coding below). So if you wanted to put a link back to me, this is what you'd change one of the lines to be:

<li><a href="'http://www.yummylolly.com'">Yummy Lolly</a></li>

You can remove or add any lines as you wish. You just have to add them before the </ul> code.
Let me know if you have any questions.

The design works with "new" blogger - ie: it's an XML template. Please ensure that you backup your widget data, as installing a new template will wipe/erase your current widget content.

Problems with your Blogger comments?

I've had a few questions from people with their Blogger blog comments not working (ie you click on the "post a comment" link but nothing happens.

We have to check what kind of comments you have your blog set to as there are a few choices.

Log into your Blogger account.
Go to SETTINGS >> COMMENTS

You'll see a variety of options on this page. The one we need to check is the "Comment Form Placement". There are three choices:

• Full Page: this is where your comments/comment box are on the one page
• Pop-Up: this is when you click on "post a comment" and the comments open in a small pop-up window
• Embedded below post: this is where the comment loads/displays under the blog post being commented on.
  

If you click on "Leave a comment" and nothing seems to be happening, follow these instructions:

1) Go to DESIGN >> EDIT HTML tabs within Blogger

2) Back up your current template by clicking on "Download Full Template" (you should always back up your template/widgets before making any changes).

3) Under the big box of html code, you will see a link which says "Revert widget templates to default". Click this link. A pop up will appear which says:

"This will discard all changes to widget templates. Your widget data will remain unchanged. Continue?"

Click "OK"

Refresh your blog and you will now see that the comments are now working.

This will fix the issue.
Good luck.
