Subject: Having trouble uploading a template? Try this.
Hey folks,

Recently we changed the way our template editor accepts certain third
party code, so that it is now less tolerant of certain templates. We
did this because we had seen a lot of data corruption due to 'bad
templates,' and we are trying to stave off some of these issues pre-
emptively.

Now we realize that this has caused some inconvenience to folks, so we
are re-thinking our decision and will post an update on that shortly.
In the meantime, I thought I'd pass along a workaround that should
work for most people.

**note: this tip -will- cause you to lose your current widget
configuration, so this is only recommended for folks who don't care to
lose their widgets (new blogs, for example)

1.) Revert whatever template/layout you have back to the 'Minima'
default template.
          -This can be done from either the Layout | Pick New Template
tab or the Template | Customize Design tab.
          -Select the 'Minima' template and save your changes.

2.) Now you can try to upload your template from the Layout | Edit
HTML (either via uploading or copy/pasting)

Please let us know how this goes, and help pass this message along to
others in smaller threads that may have not seen this message.

Much thanks for everyone's patience.

Gatsby,
Okay I design templates for blogger all my templates are based on the
minima template. your suggestion is not working because the code in
minima is filled with errors. these changes you have made have made it
impossible for me to do anything! My work is at a standstill. I tried
installing even templates that weren't made by me. I have gone to
every blog designer I know and all their templates give me BX errors-
too!

I did an experiment and copied the default minima code into W3C markup
validation service. the defalut minima coding had 25 in total.

So my question is- whos errors are you going to accept? your default
code has errors in it, by what standards are you basing this "fix" on.
I have alot of unhappy customers right now. so I am asking kindly,
whatever you did- Please fix this problem.

Thanks

Oh BTW here are your errors for the  default Minima template:

Validation Output:  25 Errors

   1. Error Line 3, Column 15: there is no attribute "expr:dir".

      <html expr:dir='data:blog.languageDirection' xmlns='http://
www.w3.org/1999/xhtml

      ✉

      You have used the attribute named above in your document, but
the document type you are using does not support that attribute for
this element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the
"Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must
use the "Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute),
or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this
is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).

      This error may also result if the element itself is not
supported in the document type you are using, as an undefined element
will have no supported attributes; in this case, see the element-
undefined error message for further information.

      How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and
attribute, (Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they
are both allowed in the chosen document type, and/or use CSS instead
of this attribute. If you received this error when using the <embed>
element to incorporate flash media in a Web page, see the FAQ item on
valid flash.
   2. Error Line 5, Column 20: there is no attribute "data".

Subject: Re: Having trouble uploading a template? Try this.
Hi Gatsby-

We appreciate Google trying to improve Blogger but this change seems
to be causing more harm than good. I own http://www.eblogtemplates.com
and have been getting several complaints about our Blogger templates
no longer working. I recommend Blogger instead create some guidelines
for 3rd party template builders to follow and even a template editor
since the code is very difficult to edit (if you don't know xml).

Thanks,

David

Instead of breaking blogs then saying your sorry, how about a heads
up.

You have broken blogs with templates that are not broken. How about an
update?

Hi! For your information I can't even upload blogger blog (yes, yours)
templates that I have saved in the past. I have spent weeks
redesigning my blog and you guys go and change the rules in mid
stream. Weeks, countless hours have gone down the gurgler because of
this issue. You have treated us with comtempt by doing this and the
fact that you guys have not let us know what is in the pipe line,
either in blogger status or known issues or whatever is just the icing
on the cake of the sad state of affairs blogger blogs are in. We all
deserve an apology! Cop that! For those that make a living by
designing templates free of charge to us bloggers you have slapped
them in the face and the wallet. Don't fix it if it isn't broken now
comes to mind.

Best regards,
Peter McCartney
