How to Download and Install Loving Lifes Blogger Templates{Blogger Tutorial}

I've had several questions, lately, on how to download and install Loving Life Designs Blogger Templates. I hope this clears up any confusion there might be on how to do this.

First you'll need to decide on which template you would like to use on your blog. For this tutorial I have chosen to download and install my Simple Two Tone Template Sunshine and Clouds. Click on the download here button or text that has been provided as a link.

After you have clicked on the link you SHOULD be linked to this or a similar box.com webpage. If you are not sent to this page please let me know, and let me know which template is not working. If you are seeing this page then you are in the correct place. 

Next, in the top left there is a download button - Click it. 

    

It should then download the XML file. Take note as to where it was downloaded on your machine. 

Now you'll want to open your blogs dashboard and click on Template. 

On the top left of the browser window is a back up and restore button - Click it. 

A window looking like the one below should pop up. 

If you have made changes to your blog and would like to keep those for any reason or to make a backup of how your blog looks now, incase there is a problem with the upload, click on download full template and save it. 

If you don't care click choose file below the phrase "upload a template from a file on your hard drive". Find the new template file on your hard drive and click choose or okay. 

The pop up window will then look like this. 

With a little spinny wheel telling you it's uploading. 

Once the template has uploaded the window should close automatically. You can see that the new template has taken affect when you see the new template in the live on blog screen. 

To see the blog full screen click on view blog.

 

Viola you are done. 

Clear as mud? 

Four Free Blogger Template Designs - {Free Blog Template}

Today I have four (4) new blogger template designs for you to download.

I'm continuing to build on my Simple Two Tone Template that I rolled out a few weeks ago. I really enjoy the look and feel of this template. It's so simple and so minimalistic that readers can focus on your message and not your background.

With these new templates I am introducing a new color scheme to the mix I call it Sunshine & Clouds. Yellows and greys are the current color trend and I thought that someone somewhere might appreciate a template following the trend.

What do you get with this template design?

• A beautiful color scheme.
• A blog header that uses matching fonts (Dancing Script & Crushed) and colors.
• Page navigation that uses bloggers pages widget. 
• A custom looking about me widget that actually uses bloggers profile widget. 
• A template that uses Bloggers Template Designer. 

*Remember Loving Life Designs downloads are for followers only. We ask that if you download our creations that you become a follower, it only takes a second. Thanks. 

In addition to the new color scheme I'm developing a Chevron Background Series. All three current color schemes (Goldfish, Pacific Pink, and Sunshine & Clouds) are part of the new series.

Introducing Free Blogger Templates - Simple Two Tone Template

We are rolling something new out, here at Loving Life Designs. We've spent a ton of time thinking about this and countless hours preparing for this, we hope you enjoy it.

Drum Roll Please

Introducing Free Blogger Templates designed by Loving Life Designs.

The great thing about these designs is that they work with bloggers designer templates and not the minima template that has mysteriously disappeared since they permanently switched everyone to the updated interface.

There are some other features that I love about these designs.

• The Blog Title is not a picture. It is from the default blogger system. Just adjust your Blog Title and Blog Description in the configure header widget.

• The profile/about me widget. It's got some style, no more boring profile information. The image is a cute and simple circle, created using handy CSS and your name is a font that matches the blog title and post title.

Today I would like to introduce you to our first design.

I call it Simple Two Tone. You can see a sample of the blog template here or click see the demo below.

The title says it all. It's simple, minimalistic and it's color scheme is designed with two colors that look great together.

As time passes we'll come out with some additional color combinations and some fun backgrounds but for now we have four options for you to choose from.
