Ready to add your Blogger template to your Blogger blog? First let’s get your Blogger template ready to be added to your Blogger blog.

2. Save the Blogger template to your computer. Save it to a place where you will be able to find it easily later.

3. If the Blogger template is in a .zip file you will need to extract the template files from the .zip file using a program like WinZip. If you have Windows XP then you by now have a Zip program. When extracting these files remember where they are saved to so you can find them top upload them.

4. Open NotePad, a further text program or the HTML editor you are using. Click “File” then “Open” in your text program and open the template files. Now we are going to get Blogger ready so you can penetrate your new template text.

1. Log into your Blogger account.

2. Under “Exchange Settings” you will see an icon that looks like a gear. Click on this icon.

3. Click on the tab that says “Template”.

4. Open a blank/new page in your NotePad program.

5. Highlight and copy all of the text and code that is inside the Blogger template page on Blogger.

6. Paste this code into the blank page you just produced in NotePad.

7. Save this NoteTab page as “bloggeroriginal.txt” (without the quotes). You will need this code again if you don’t like the way the new template looks and you want to go back to the original. Save this to a safe place in case you need it later.

Now we are going to replace the template code on your Blogger Templage page with your new Blogger template code.

1. Go back into the Blogger page. Again highlight the text and code on the page. This time delete it. Since it is saved to your computer and you are going to replace it with the new tempate text you will no longer need it to show here.

2. Go to the NotePad file where you opened the code for your new Blogger template. Highlight and copy all the text on the page (make sure you get it all).

3. Go to the Blogger Template page on Blogger. This should be blank now because you previously deleted everything in it.

4. Paste the new Blogger template code into this Template page.

5. Click on the large, orange button that says “Save Template Changes”.

6. On the next page click on “Republish” to republish your new Blogger template to your entire Blogger blog. This could take a couple minutes.

7. Then on the next page click on the button that says “Republish Entire Blog”.

8. Click on “View Blog” to see what your new blog looks like.

Tutorial: Create a Custom Wordpress Page With Different Template

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

Recently I needed to make a page in Wordpress that didn’t have the sidebar on it. I still wanted the sidebar on all the other pages, just not that one (i.e. for an option or sales page).

It took me a while to find the solution, but the one I found works like a charm. Takes a bit of programming knowledge, but not too terrible.

Here is a quick video on how to go about doing it and a custom.php to get you started.  Credit goes to Moses at wpthemesplugins.com for the solution.  My video just walks you through each step to make it a bit simpler.

Click Here to watch the video tutorial at Evil Genius TV.

Sorry, I would embed the video tutorial here, but it is not allowed :)

In a nutshell, here are the steps:

1. Make  a custom.php file in your favorite text editor. I use Notepad ++

2. Add this code to the beginning of your custom.php file


/*Template Name: custom*/?>

3. Copy the contents of your page.php file from your current theme.

4. Paste the code not more than what you just added to the custom.php

5. Find the code that says < ? php get_sidebar(); ? >  and delete it.

6. save custom.php

7. FTP custom.php to your current theme folder under wp-content>themes>(whatever theme you are using)

8. Create a new page.  Under Advanced options, choose Page Template > custom.

9. Thats it!

If it sounds complicated, it really isn’t.  In the video, I will walk you through it in about 5 minutes.
