It will ask you where you want to save it to on your computer. I'd suggest changing the name to something you'll recognize later if you need it. :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02936177233943118063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105799931107229707.post-67332398871704139142009-05-23T22:09:57.598-05:002009-05-23T22:09:57.598-05:00Hey, flit, how do you save the template?Hey, flit, how do you save the template?Stephanie Barrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17772217449161603561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105799931107229707.post-88189175356864413682009-05-23T21:47:02.188-05:002009-05-23T21:47:02.188-05:00I was extremely happy with all of the makeovers la...I was extremely happy with all of the makeovers lady java did for me... <br /><br />one thing to remember though ... after you get your blog the way you want it SAVE THE TEMPLATE .... never hurts to have a backup just in caseflithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06287047761151044124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105799931107229707.post-75338583582593242322009-05-23T20:50:05.486-05:002009-05-23T20:50:05.486-05:00Quadmamma,

She also madeover my Children's books blog, with the exception of the header (although she did help me on that by adding my tagline to it.)<br /><br />She was so easy to work with and so responsive. I seriously was amazed at how fast she completed both blogs for me. <br /><br />I'd been trying to do it on my own, not wanting to spend money, but was growing more and more frustrated due to not finding what I wanted, or not being able to get things to work right. It was worth every single penny.<br /><br />Here's a post I wrote about her on my Living Frugal blog: <A>Lady Java, A Frugal Way To a Blog Makeover</A>Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02936177233943118063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105799931107229707.post-50057833702460232222009-05-23T20:29:18.925-05:002009-05-23T20:29:18.925-05:00I am extremely happy with my blog Make-Over from H...I am extremely happy with my blog Make-Over from Harriet at http://www.creativeblogme.com/. Click on the "where" in Stephanie's post to go to her site. I did win my blog makeover, but since I wanted a very specific kind of header, Harriet pointed me to some stock photo sites and I purchased something for the header which she modified for me. I also purchased a couple of other stock photos from the same place for my site. I can't tell you how much I LOVE MY MAKE-OVER.<br /><br />If you want to try your chance at winning a blog makover, Diane at http://customblogdesigns.blogspot.com/ is having a blog Make-Over Contest. She is also a contributor at one of Harriets other sites, http://www.sitedandblogged.com/ and Diane's contest is also listed there.Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17385290159403288196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105799931107229707.post-21958624648506753752009-05-23T19:35:48.255-05:002009-05-23T19:35:48.255-05:00Quadmama: are you willing to move to Wordpress?

Most are very easy to customize, and the creators are pretty amenable to helping you customize it. As for a banner, mine was done by a very reasonable and talented graphic designer named Eileen Schmidtke. You can see my banner and find her contact information in this post:<br /><br />http://idothings.info/i-have-a-shiny-new-header-so-you-dont-have-to/<br /><br />Good luck!JD at I Do Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12637216169419014156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105799931107229707.post-59714930401026040522009-05-23T18:16:43.952-05:002009-05-23T18:16:43.952-05:00Thanks for a starting point, Stephanie.
