I've had a few people ask me what they can do to make sure they don't lose their awesome blog design. It's a great idea to back up your blog template. Here are the steps.
1- At blogger dashboard click on Layout.2- Then click on Edit HTML
X- Make sure you don't Pick New Template. If you do, and then actually pick a new template the design that you have will disappear!
Then the following page will come up.
1- Click on Download Full Template and download the template. It will be named something like template-282235459.xml. You can rename it, but don't alter the extension. I like to rename mine something like CDBtemplate-21509.xmlX- Don't mess with the code at all!
Tomorrow I will tell you how to back up your posts!

Great visuals for the tutorial! I linked to it from my blog. Also, I added your giveaway on the sidebar of Beautiful Blog Designs. Hope it sends some traffic your way.
Thanks, mine is now backed up!
Um....I'm the knucklehead who made her brand new sparkly Diana-created blog disappear by not realizing there was a new template check marked. Oops. Be sure to double and triple check that there is no new template checked inadvertantly!!!
A HUGE thank you to Diana who fixed it immediately while I chewed my fingernails nervously and was next to tears!!! Hooray! Diana saves the day!!
Great tip!
