recently I downloaded a few templates from a few websites. Copied & pasted the html code but everytime i want to save, this message would appear

" 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 content of elements must consist
of well-formed character data or markup. "

What's wrong? what else must i do? why is it i can't just copy & paste the html code?

Thanks!

I had the same problem, blogger uses css codes and not html. But it's easy to fix this problem. First, you go to the same page that you have been putting in your code and scroll the blogger page all the way to the bottom and click on the small link that says "revert to classic template" and click "ok" to revert it. Then you put in your html code. Enjoy! E-mail me if you have any questions.

Some things you MUST do! One is, when you go fetch the template to diddle, remember to click the option that says, expand the html. Another is, SAVE A COPY of the unedited version!!! Edit on your computer at home, then copy/paste to the blogger window later. Finally, dig through the blogger help files, and you'll find ample documentation of the (simple, once you get the hang of it) widget language Google uses... The widgets generate

sections which you may then control via css definitions up top in the section. Likely the xml closure problem you ran into was involved in inserting something in the wrong place within a widget, where there's such items as

The new blogger templates are in XHTML. The old HTML templates are incompatible and will give errors. See :
