Basic Template Installation:
1.First download the template and unzip the file.

3.Here is the important step, after uploading any new Blogger template, all of the previous widgets like your google adsense ads,text,profile,poll,etc etc will be lost.
So, to avoid this to happen, in this step click on 'edit' on all the widgets and copy the codes into notepad,etc.
4.Now click on the 'Edit html' tab
5.First of all please Download Full Template.This is to back up your present template.If the new template that you are going to upload makes/gets into some errors or if you make more complex errors in that,then you will loose everthing.So make sure that you back up your template.
6.Just below that,there's an option of uploading new template.So, use the Browse button and upload the downloaded xml file.

Hi, thank you for this wonderful template. How to remove the slider?
Thank you for your template, it is great. I tried to remove the left side bar and increase the main content column to @705, but I faced a problem. The black color continued to show in the post contents, so I have white and black. My site is scientific, and need to increase the width of the main content and have a white background. Please, help me to do it correctly. Thank you for your efforts

Can You explain This Better
Hello Lasantha,
I've followed all the procedures, but can't get the "featured post" to work. Is there any update about this? Thanks
Sorry, I forgot to mention my blog address: www.martinmanurung.com
Thanks!
@Martin
I checked your blog.
Find this code in your template:
<script src='http://pwam.googlecode.com/files/mootools-1.2.1-core-yc.js' type='text/javascript'/>
Now replace it with below code:
<script src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/mootools/1.2.4/mootools-yui-compressed.js' type='text/javascript'></script>
save the template.Now your slider will work fine.
@George Abu Jarur
Can you tell me your blog URL?
Hello Lasantha,
I've changed the code as you said, but the slide doesn't work. Instead of sliding like in the demo web, all the featured posts appear on the top of (overlap) the blog posts. Can you please help? Thanks very much!
@Martin
Don't use Internet Explorer to copy these codes.
Lasantha,
No, I dont use internet explorer, I use Firefox.
