Install Your Premade

2) Now you will need to save all your page elements in case they are lost in the transistion. To do this copy/paste all your page elements in notepad (or any work processing program). Your page elements are your Pictures, widgets, links, HTML, & Text- which are located in your sidebar. You will need to go into each page element individually to save them. Once the premade file is downloaded onto your computer- you are ready for the next step.
3) Now go to your Blogger Account dashboard and click on Design
4) Then click the link at the top of your page named Edit HTML
5) Once at the Edit HTML page, you will need to upload the text/xml file (that you just downloaded) you can do this under the title labelled backup/restore template. You do this by clicking browse, and selecting the file which is your new layout. Once the file is selected, click on upload.
6) Now click save and your new template is installed, go to view blog and you will have a new layout!
7) Now you can re-add your page elements (copy and paste from notepad back into your page element page)
If you have any problems installing the template (like errors for example) it may be a problem with your browser so be sure it's up to date before installation to prevent errors.
