Here are the instructions for installing "new", "widget-friendly" or "XML" (blogtemplate.xml for example) blogger templates.
Here's what you have to do:

Log into your Blogger account and click on "Layout"


Select the "Template" tab and then from the Template page, please click on the "Edit HTML" submenu.


At the top of this page it says "Backup/Restore Template" and advises you to download your current template (good idea, incase things go weird).
The next step is to upload the suckmylolly.com template you like by "browsing" your computer for the .xml file that you downloaded and clicking on "upload".
DO NOT TOUCH THE BIG BOX OF "CODE" under this.
You
MUST upload the
.XML file from your computer - trying to upload anything else will not work!!

Done! View your blog to see the changes! Easy peasy!
Please note that I test every single blogger template before making them avaliable and I KNOW THEY WORK.
The biggest issue you'll probably have is not reading these instructions properly - please check this twice before contacting me.
STILL HAVING PROBLEMS?
- Please read my FAQs which can be found >>> here.
- I provide my blogger templates to the public in zipped folders. This means that the template is enclosed within a folder - along with all the images and the terms & conditions for using my template.
If you try and upload this .zip folder then YOU WILL GET AN ERROR MESSAGE (ie: "Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure that all XML elements are closed properly...."). You have to unzip this folder and inside you will find the .xml template file. THIS is the file you need to upload.
Uploading the .xml file will NOT CAUSE ANY ERRORS.
Good luck!
