i installed the notebook xml template, adjusted the timestamp. my only problem is that the date of the old posts disappear when i make a new one. this is really critical for me because this is a diary. i also want to know if time posted can be show instead of date only. thanks

i got the same message over and over and then it finally worked—this may have done it but I don’t know….

i saved the zip file to my desktop, but I dragged the XML file within that folder to be on the desktop itself and then uploaded just that file.

it took a few times, i don’t know what made it finally work. i also played around with adding the HTML gadget on blogger…hope it eventually works for you.

My template has mysteriously changed. I have a right sidebar, but now all the stuff that was on the right sidebar is now at the footer…it’s wierd. The HTML code now says that it’s under the footer, too I’m scared to mess with the HTML code.

Hi! I have been trying (a lot) to upload the notebook-chaos template to Blogger. I have followed your tutorial and I have saved the file to my desktop and I hit “browse” and click on “master.html” that is within the saved notebook-chaos file on my desktop.

When I hit the upload button, I get the following error message:

We were unable to save your template
Please correct the error below, and submit your template again.
Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly.
XML error message: The value of attribute “action” associated with an element type “null” must not contain the ‘<’ character.

What am I doing wrong?? Thank you!

‘We were unable to save your template

Please correct the error below, and submit your template again.
Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly.
XML error message: Content is not allowed in prolog.’

What have i done wrong? Please help!

Found your “Notebook Chaos” layout and I absolutely love it. Problem is, I’m hosting the blog on a different server so that it will point to my domain, and it doesn’t give me the option to upload xml in the edit html window. Cutting and pasting the text of the xml document doesn’t work. Any thoughts on how I might work around this? Do I need to upload the xml doc to my server?

Any help appreciated. Many thanks.
