How to Change Your Template

January 15, 2009  (captainmando)

So far, we have limited options in our design template, but I have every reason to believe they are working on giving us more choices and possibly even the ability to make our own layouts. Until then, this is how you choose from the design gallery:

Go to "My Blogs", then your blog's name, then "Switch Theme".

When the “Themes” page comes up, you can scroll through and see the different themes available. The best part is that you can preview what your page would look like with that theme before you actually apply it! To do that, just click on any theme picture and the preview will pop up.

If you don’t like the way that theme looks on your blog, simply click the little “x” button and you will go back to the “Themes” page to continue browsing.

Or, if you think, “Hey! That looks pretty nifty!”, simply click the “Activate” link on the right-hand side of the preview window, like this:

Activate Theme

Hope that helps you guys settle in a bit! :)

    I’m just crazy about the preview feature - LOVE IT, love it, love it. Definitely a plus in my book…

    hehe Thanks!

    I have another post on Widgets prepared (well, I have the screenshots for it, anyway), but I’m in too pissy of a mood right now to post it. Maybe tomorrow.
