You should save your current blogger template first for safety precautions. To do this follow these steps,

Back Up your Blogger widgets

To save your current widgets codes, follow these steps,

1. Go To Layout
2. Open each widget one by one and copy the code inside it along with the title and paste it in a notepad (not a WordPad)
3. Save the notepad in a safe location
4. Done!

Upload Tanzanite Template

After you have downloaded Tanzanite Template, you will then have to replace your current template with it,

1. Go To Layout > Edit HTML
2. You will see a box with two buttons at its side that says “ Browse” and “Upload” as shown below,

    3.    Click the browse button, locate the “Tanzanite Template” file and then click the upload button

    4.    Now you will be asked that certain widget data will be lost if you click save. Since we have already backed up all our widgets so we don’t care. So Click the button that says “Confirm Save”. View your blog to see the new change! :>
