How to enable a mobile template in Blogger

This article explains why mobile mattes for some blogs (but not all), what tools Blogger has provided to help with this, and how to set up a mobile template for your blog.

Blogger and Mobile - do you need to care?

By default, when someone uses a smartphone, tablet or other mobile device to look at your blog, they see the "full site" just like they would if they were using a PC.   The pages aren't set up to work well on their small screen, but they have access to all the features and gadgets you've installed.

In some cases, this is fine.  For example, the last time I looked at the statistics for this site, hardly any of the visitors were mobile.   This makes sense - people wanting to find out how to do things in Blogger are probably using the full Blogger software at the time.

But for other blogs, especially ones that have maps and other location-information or which people read on the go, having a mobile-friendly template is very important:   for example, on my public-transport blog, over 25% of visitors are using mobile, and that figure is growing.  Making my site work well for these visitors is definitely important for its long-term future (and my short term advertising revenue!)

What's available

Blogger have made a set of mobile templates, to match the standard Designer Templates, and so far only one to match the Dynamic template.

We cannot control the layout of gadgets on these - when the screen is only 300-ish pixels wide, there's not much room to move.

But we can add and remove gadgets, and also by choosing a custom template get colour settings that match our main blog.

How to make your blog use a mobile template

Log in to Blogger using an account with administrator rights to the blog.

Go to the Template tab.

If your blog has a Designer or Dynamic template, then there will be a Mobile option to the right of the "Live on Blog" area.

If the blog is not set up to use a mobile template,then the word Disabled will be in the middle of the picture area - although it may be hard to read if your base template (chosen in the Live on Blog area) has a picture behind it.

Click on the gear-wheel underneath the picture to see the mobile options.

Select "Yes.  Show mobile template on mobile devices."

Either leave the mobile template on Default, or select one of the other options.

• If you choose Default, your mobile template will use the standard template matching your desktop template.
• If you choose Custom, your mobile template will use the colour-scheme and various features from your desktop template, and you will be able to makes changes to these settings.

Use the Preview button if you want to see what your blog will look like with the selected template on a mobile device.

When you are happy with your selection, press Save.

What your readers see

Visitors to your blog who are using a desktop PC (or laptop or netbook or any other machine with a full-size screen) won't see anything different.

Readers who are using an internet-enabled cellphone (ie smartphone), tablet, iPad, etc will see a different view:

• They won't have a sidebar
• The gadgets will be limited (unless you add some extra ones) and in the header and footer only
• On the home-page there will just be the title, thumbnail and snippet for each post, and a button for read-more (this is irrespective of where you've put the jump-break) - notice that the usual methods of giving your blog a home-page don't always work.
• Custom styles that you have added to the template may not be applied (this has happened on one blog where I use styles, I'm still investigating whether it's a feature of all mobile templates, or just due to the way I added these particular styles).
• There will be buttons at the bottom of the page for Home, <   and > .    I think that the latter two refer to older and newer posts (though possible they are the opposite way around from what I expect).
• There will be a link to "view web version", which lets your visitor switch to to see the blog using the desktop template.

I have a  feeling that there may be some other differences too - very keen to hear about any others you've spotted.

Seeing what your mobile readers see

The absolute best way that I've found to accurately experience my blogs as mobile visitors see them is to use a mobile device myself:

• Just like preview mode in the Post-editor, the mobile-template preview mode shows a "look and feel" view, which is not entirely accurate.   For example in the picture above, it shows part of the most-recent article insteaod of just the post title and mini-snippet that I see when I look at the site on my phone.
• The screen-size testers that I've tried out (ie software tools that mimic showing your website in various different screen sizes) don't actually use the mobile template - I suspect that this is due to the way that Blogger detects mobile devices.

However you can see any blog as it would be on a mobile device by appending /?m=1 to the end of the URL.  

For example, to see this blog in mobile, I would look at http://blogger-hints-and-tips.blogspot.com/?m=1 

If you're going to use this approach, it's best to re-size your browser window so that it's about 300px wide - from my netbook, that's about 1/3 of the screen size, but it would be less from machiens with bigger screens.

I'm very interested in suggestions about any other tools that give a reliable mobile-experience view without actually having to use a smartphone.

Editing your Blog's template: advantanges and disadvantages

This article is about the consequences of modifying your blog's template.

Overview

Previously I've explained that your blog is made up of a number of components:   your content, and a number of other parts including the blog template.

Initially, every blog has a blog-templates chosen from the options supplied by Google when the blog was created.  However it's possible to change to a different blog-template at any time, and there are lots of options both from Google (custom, layout and now designer templates), and from third parties.

You can edit your template, from the Layout / Edit HTML tab.   And the recommended answer to many "how do I ..." questions in the Blogger Help Forum is to do just that.

However there are some consequences, and (at least) one of Blogger's software engineers recommends not editing your template [in the comments following from this post]- even though s/he also says that doing so is very much part of the supported features that Blogger offers.

This article explains these consequences, so that you can make an informed decision about whether to edit your template or not.


Google's blog-templates

Google / Blogger offers four different types of template:  Custom, Layout, Designer and Dyamic.  (Ref:  types of blog template) - and there are mobile variations within the Designer options, too.

For Layout, Designer and Dynamic templates, they also offer a number of different styles, for example Minima, Minima Stretch, Denim, Rounders, Thisaway Rose, Simple, Awesome, etc).

For each style of template, Google has a current version.   But there are also earlier versions that used to be current but have been superseded as problems with them have been found and fixed:

When Google make a change to their "master copy" of a particular template, they also look at all the blogs that already use that template:  if a blog's copy of the template has not been editied (by the owner), then it is updated to include the changes that Google made to the master copy.

But if a blog's template has been changed, Google cannot update it with the improvements that they've made to the master template, because doing so would over-write the change that the blog-owner made.

Advantages and Disadvantages

The major disadvantage of editing your blog template is that you may not get the benefits of improvements that Google make to the master template.

There are some other disadvantages too:

• You might make a mistake, and corrupt your template (possibly in subtle ways that you don't notice at first).
• You need to take back-ups, just in case you make a really horrible mistake - and it can get confusing managing all the versions of the backup file.
• It's more difficult to get support from the Blogger Help Forum is your template is non-standard (because the helpers there don't know how you've changed things
• When it's time to update your blog to use a new template, there is no way to make a list of all the changes that you have applied to your current template (unless you've got a copy of the un-changed template as it was when you applied it to your blog for the first time).

But there are some pretty major advantages:

• You can make changes to your blog that you cannot make in any other way
• It's easy to back up any changes that you make:  while there are some changes that could be put into HTML/Javascript gadgets on your blog, there is no easy way to back these up.  If you accidentally delete a gadget, the only way to get it back is to re-create it manually.

Final thoughts:

The Add CSS function in the Template Designer is at attempt to let us change our templates in a way that is known, and gets around these issues.   But I'm not convinced that it always shows all the template changes I've makde, and there are some changes I want to make that don't relate to the CSS.

Personally, I'm going to continue editing the HTML in my blog-template.

You need to make the own decisions about whether to do so or not.   Hopefully this article will help you to understand the consequences, either way.

Seven simple steps to a snazzy new-look blog: preparing to change template in Blogger

This article is about making a plan to change your Blogger template if your existing blog-template has been customised:  it covers how to make a list of the changes that have been made to your template, and using this as the basis of a list of changes to re-apply when you change templates.

Changing your template in Blogger is easy: you just go to the Template tab, choose another template, click Apply to Blog and the changes are applied. 

But if you have ever customised your template using the Edit HTML feature, then all the customisations are lost when you change templates.  This is fine for some things (eg hiding features you didn't like in a particular template), but it means you lose changes that you may want to keep, eg a favicon, meta-tags, Google Analytics or Webmaster verification, Amazon Product Preview, etc - in short anything that you want to keep, no matter how your template looks.
 
If you're worried about the consequences of changing templates, you have a basic choice to make:

1  Remember what you did:
Try to remember what you've set up on your blog, and think about which of these things you want to apply in your blog-with-a-new-template.

2  Code comparison:
Compare the layout-template code for your blog with the same code from another blog that has the same template and widgets as your blog, but not the HTML customisations.  From this comparison, make a list of what customisations you need to re-apply after you change templates.

The first option is quicker and a lot easier - but you might miss something important.  Personally it's not an option I'd like to use for any blog that has "weight".

Unfortunately the second option doesn't give a 100% correct list of customisations, unless you kept a copy of your current template at it was at the time when you first applied it to your blog.   This is because Google may have upgraded their copy of the standard version of your template, but not been able to upgrade your customised version.  (See Advantages and Disadvantages of Editing Your Blogger Template for more about this).   However the list that you can make may be close enough - and I used it myself to make sure I didn't miss any details in migrating the blog you are reading now.

This article is about the second option, and how to use the results of the comparison to make a detailed plan for moving your blog from one template to another.

How do to a code-comparison

Follow these steps to compare the template from your blog with another un-customised version of the template:

1  Make a test-blog which is like your Real-blog, except it doesn't have the layout-template customisations.   See Making a test-blog for more details about this: it's NOT as simple as just copying the template over.  

IMPORTANT:  If you do have a backup copy of your template from immediately after you last applied a new template to, then apply it to your test blog before giving it any widgets.  (Doing this will give you the chance of making a 100% correct list.)


2  Working line-by-line, compare the template code in your test and main blogs. 

For each difference, work out whether it's due to a customisation that you want to keep when you "migrate" your main blog to a new template, or something that you can leave behind.

To do the comparison:

• Get the template code for your test-blog by choosing Template > Backup / Restore > Download Full Template.   Save the downloaded file somewhere with a name like testBlog-Template.xml
  

• Get the template code for your main blog the same way   Save the downloaded file with a name like realBlog-Template.xml
  

• Use a text-file comparison tool to find the differences between the two files.
  Comparing two text files using Excel discusses this in more detail, and links to a tool that makes this process (a little) easier.
  
  Note that there may be some differences which aren't explained by modifications that you made to the template:  these will be due to improvements that Google have made to the template file.   You need to decide how much time to spend investigating each difference, based on how likely it is that you made it.

3  From the list of differences, write a plan of the existing customisations you want to apply to your new template, and also of any new changes that you want to make at the same time.  Put it in order of most-to-least important  (eg I usually put "load Google Analytics code" just after "apply template, because the statistics are very important to me).

3.5 (optional) Decide which new template to use, and practise the upgrade:
Use the test-version of your existing blog (the one you made in step 1), and give it the new template.  Apply the extra customisations from your list.  Possibly even copy in some posts from your main blog into it.  Test how well it works, and tweak your list of the changes that need to be made when you migrate your real blog.

4  Back up the current template of your blog.

5  Apply the new template you've selected to your blog.

5.5  (Optional)  make another back-up of your template - before you re-apply any of the customisations.    This will be the basic version that you compare against if you ever need to do this exercise again, so save it somewhere safe.  

6  Make the other changes from your plan.

7  Test your blog to see that all is well.


That sounds easy enough.   Seven simple steps to a snazzy new-look blog.

Getting an old-style (Layout or Classic) template for your blog

This article is about how to apply a Layout or Classic template to your blog, instead of a Designer template.

Overview
During 2010,  Google made the Template Designer available as the standard tool for selecting and customizing your blog template.

But there may be situations where you want to use an older style template (eg, if you want to make a shadow or testing blog for an existing one, or if you want a template that uses the entire screen-width without borders).

At first glance, this option appears to have gone.   But fortunately, it's just tucked away in a remote corner:


How to Select a Layout or Classic Template

Go to the Design > Edit HTML tab.

Scroll to the bottom of the screen (underneath the bottom of the code-box).

There you will see new links that let you choose a Layout or Custom Template.   Click the one you want, and it opens a screen that works just like the old Blogger screens did.

(Remember that "... you will not have access to many new features... " if you use one of these templates.)

What template does your Blog use: the quick way to find out

This article is about the fast way to find out what style of template (eg Minima, Tekka, Simple, etc) your blog uses.  It's a support-article for a series about Preparing to Change Your Template.

Why you need to know what template you're using:

Previously I've described how to find out what type of template your blog has (ie is it Classic, Layout, Designer or Dynamic).

But sometimes (eg when you are preparing to change templates, or when you need prepare to ask a support question) you need to know which specific one of the Layout or Designer templates you're using.

How to find out:


The hard way:
These days, you need to work through the options to work out what type of template your blog has, and the name will be apparent from the screens you end up on.


The easy way:


1  View your blog.

2  Press the key or menu item that shows the source-code for the page you're looking at.
(In Firefox, it's Ctrl/U.    In Chrome version 16 and above, choose Tools from the spanner-menu at the top-right, and then choose View source fromthe sub-menu.)

3  At the top of the source code that is displayed, there is some code like this (and a few more similar lines):

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html dir='ltr' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' xmlns:b='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/b' xmlns:data='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/data' xmlns:expr='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/expr'>
<head>
<META content='e20505dd1f20eff9' name='y_key'>
</META>
<meta content='text/html; charset=UTF-8' http-equiv='Content-Type'/>
<script type="text/javascript">(function() { var a=window;function c(b){this.t={};this.tick=function(d,i,e){e=e?e:(new Date).getTime();this.t[d]=[e,i]};this.tick("start",null,b)}var f=new c;a.jstiming={Timer:c,load:f};try{var g=null;if(a.chrome&&a.chrome.csi)g=Math.floor(a.chrome.csi().pageT);if(g==null)if(a.gtbExternal)g=a.gtbExternal.pageT();if(g==null)if(a.external)g=a.external.pageT;if(g)a.jstiming.pt=g}catch(h){};a.tickAboveFold=function(b){b=b;var d=0;if(b.offsetParent){do d+=b.offsetTop;while(b=b.offsetParent)}b=d;b<=750&&a.jstiming.load.tick("aft")};var j=false;function k(){if(!j){j=true;a.jstiming.load.tick("firstScrollTime")}}a.addEventListener?a.addEventListener("scroll",k,false):a.attachEvent("onscroll",k);
 })();</script>
<meta content='true' name='MSSmartTagsPreventParsing'/>
<meta content='blogger' name='generator'/>

Underneath that, though, are some comments, usually followed by a Variable Declaration section.   It's very likely that the template name and the name of the company that produced it, will be in these comments.

For example, Blogger-Hints-and-Tips used to use a template called Tekka - I know that, because the code used to say:

/*
* Tekka
* style modified from glish: http://www.glish.com/css/
*
* Updated by Blogger Team
*/
/* Variable definitions
<Variable name="mainBgColor" description="Page Background Color"
type="color" default="#f5f5f5">
<Variable name="mainTextColor"  description="Text Color"
type="color" default="#000000">

Now it says

-----------------------------------------------Blogger Template StyleName: SimpleDesigner: Josh PetersonURL: www.noaesthetic.com----------------------------------------------- *//* Variable definitions====================

so I know that the template name is Simple.


Note:  it seems that this approach does not work for blogs with Dynamic-view templates - so you'll have to use the hard way for them.

Making a test-blog for template changes

This article is one of a series about preparing to change the template in Blogger.  It looks at how to make a template-test blog.  

Other articles in the series explain how to use this template to plan your template change so that you don't lose any key features that you've installed before.

Steps to make a template-test blog

Check your blog's post-template is not corrupt

Go into Layout > Blog Posts > Edit, and change one of the ticked items (just temporarily).    For example, show reactions or un-show an item that is currently shown.   Save this change, and check that it appears on your blog.

If the change is ok, then you can un-do it, and move directly to the next step.

But if the change doesn't show up, then you have a corrupt post-template.   You may want to re-set the post template  first and be sure that your blog is showing the items you want before moving on.

Create a new, private blog to work with:

Find out what template your existing blog has.

Go to the Dashboard, and click Create a Blog.  Give it a name and URL like "testing-YOURBLOGNAME"

When Blogger asks which starter template to use, choose your current template, (if it's on the list shown), or just any template.

After the blog has been created, press Start Blogging,

Go to the Settings / Basic tab and set

• "Add your blog to our listings?" = No
• "Let search engines find your blog?" = No  

Give it the same settings as your real blog:

In this step, you need to make your test blog have the same structure as your current blog.   This doesn't mean the same contents, just the same widgets and other background settings that affect how the blog looks.   The particular things you need to check include:

• In the Settings > Basic tab, set all the other options (except the ones at the end of the last section) to exactly the same settings as your real blog has.

• In the Settings > Formatting tab, do the same thing.

• In the Settings > Comments tab, do the same thing.

• In the Template tab, choose the SAME template that your existing blog has.

• Go to Layout > Blog Post, and give your test blog exactly the same settings as your main one:  this includes their position on the page, as well as whether or not they're displayed.

• Go to Layout and use the Add a Gadget function to give your test blog EXACTLY the same gadgets that your main blog has. 
  
  This step is tedious if you have  a lot of gadgets.  But there are no shortcuts:  uploading the downloaded template would apply the template customisations as well as the gadgets, which defeats the purpose!   And even though it's a lot of work, it's worth it if your blog has a lot of "weight" (visitors, authority etc) an so you don't want to risk having it fail.

If you have done any structural change to your template (eg I added a footer sectionto the Blogger-Hints-and-Tips blog), then you will need to do the same structural change to your test-blog as well.   This is ok, because you most probably will not be needing the same structural change in your new template. 

If there are any gadgets on your main blog that you've been planning to delete anyway, it would be good to do this now - it saves having to re-create them in your test blog

Technically you should apply any header images and the same fonts and colours too: I chose not to do this when I was preparing to move BHAT, because I didn't want to accidentally make an update to the test-blog which should have one to the real blog - having the colours and header look different reduced the chance that I would make this sort of mistake.

Get some posts to test with:

Choose whether to import all your existing posts into the testing blog, or just copy some individual posts. Or you may choose not to test with any at all (at this stage).

Any links in your posts WON'T be re-directed, so when you are testing, you will find that clicking any internal links in your posts will take you back to your main blog. If you are moving all posts, you could avoid this by opening the export file with a text-editor, and doing a fine/replace to change the main blog's URL to the testing blog's URL in any links.

Depending on what kind of tests you want to do, you may not need many posts.   Personally, when I was preparing to move BHAT I just did two.

Types of Blogger template

This article is about the types of template that apply to your Blogger blog, and how you can work out what type of template you have. 

What types of template does Blogger have:

Blogger users templates to know how to structure your blog:   all template-types except the new Dynamic-view templates allow you a lot of freedom to customise how your blog looks.

Ttemplates are the "framework" that Blogger uses to let us do this, but still offer the features that a blogging platform provides.

Currently, each blog made with Blogger has:

• One post template:
  There is only one type of post template, adn it is edited from Layout > Blog Posts - and not customisable apart from this
• One design template:  
  This template may be one of four different types:  Dynamic, Designer, Layout and Custom.  

Also, each template may have a mobile template, which is used only when someone views the blog using a mobile device (eg smartphone).   A blog only has a mobile template if this has been enabled for it (on the Template screen).

When you have looked at a few blogger options, you will begin to recognise the different types of templates, just from the way blogs made with them look on screen.    The following sections describe the types of design templates (which include Designer templates, just to be confusing), and show you how to tell if your blog is using them.

There is also a very quick way to find out the name of your template - often knowing the name will let a Blogger Helper understand what the problem is, and so make suggestions about how to fix it.


The Custom Template:
The first design template that Blogger had was a custom template - and there are still some blogs with these today.

With a custom template, the only way to change the layout of your blog is to edit the HTML;  there are no widgets, and no drag-and-drop editor for positioning things.


How to work out if you have a Custom template:

Post-Sept 2011 Blogger (aka the new interface):  
If you go into the Template tab, and the first thing you see is "Give your blog a whole new look!", and at the bottom of the screen there is an area called "Edit Template HTML", then your blog is using a Classic template.

Pre-Sept 2011 Blogger (aka the old interface):  
If your menu options include "Template", but don't include "Layout", then you have a Custom template.

Layout Template:
The Layout template was the next to be introduced.   It includes the Page Elements editor and the idea of Gadgets (previously called Widgets and Page Items).  This was a great improvement because it let blogger users move items around their design by drag-and-drop, instead of by editing HTML.

These templates (Minima, Rounders, ....) were a great step forward in the early 21st century, but web-technology has moved on.     They are no longer available to choose in the new Blogger interface, but  can still be selected in the old interface.

How to work out if you have a Layout template:

Post-Sept 2011 Blogger (aka the new interface):  
Go to the Templates tab, and choose Customize.   If there is no template name given underneath "Live on Blog", and no template selected in the area to the right, then you have a Layout template.

Pre-Sept 2011 Blogger (aka the old interface):  
Go to the Design tab and choose Template Designer.
If the Background and Layout tabs (down the left hand side) have message like "Not applicale for this template", then you have a Layout template.

Designer Templates
Designer templates were introduced in early 2010, when the Template Designer was first available in Blogger in Draft.    They provide a far wider range of basic designs, and far more options for choosing the number of columns, column width, background images,footer structure, colour scheme, etc.

How to work out if you have a Designer Template:

Post-Sept 2011 Blogger (aka the new interface):  
Go to the Templates tab, and choose Customize.   If there is a template name under "Live on Blog", and it is not from the names under Dynamic Views on the right, then you have a designer template.

Pre-Sept 2011 Blogger (aka the old interface):
