One of the advantages of blogging in blogger.com compared with wordpress.com is we can freely change oredit the template, so that we can get the best appearance of our blog as we want. However, there is a negative effect of having the freedom. That is we will frequently edit or change the template instead of posting an article.
As the result of editing our template frequently, sometimes there will be a disappointing result in a time. For example, many bloggers want to return the comment box from haloscan to the original blogger comment boxand the others that sometimes make us frustrated due to unsuccessfully returning as it was. For those who have the problem like this, Kang Rohman has a solution to reset blogger template so that it can be like when we create a blog. Yes, it is really like when you firstly create a blog, are you curious? Go on!
Before we continue, to avoid unwanted problems, try this trick to your trial blog, because this trick can be said an extreme trick. First notes to know are:
The current widgets will be lost, so do not forget to backup data before doing reset. How to backup widget data, Kang Rohman has ever talked about in the post titled How to backup your "Widgets". The content of your posts will be unseen, but not deleted. When you choose a new template, the posts will appear again.
Are you ready with this extreme challenge? Let’s get started!

</span><div id='header-wrapper'>
<b:section class='header' id='header' maxwidgets='1' showaddelement='no'>
<b:widget id='Header1' locked='true' title='Template Tutorial (Header)' type='Header'/>
</b:section>
</div>

<div class='clear'> </div></div> <!-- end content-wrapper --><div id='footer-wrapper'>
<b:section class='footer' id='footer'/>
</div></div></div> <!-- end outer-wrapper –></body> <= don’t delete - Click Save Template button
