Blogger doesn’t accept the final code.. I’ve uploaded the images, changed the link names correctly, but blogger gives me an XML error:

XML: The content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup.

Thanks.

@JK

Sorry, I should have mentioned it but this template only works with the old “Classic Blogger”. You probably tried to use it with the new xml Blogger mode and that’s why you got an error. You can either try again using Classic Blogger or pick another template from our site. Sorry for the confusion!

And how do I change it to “classic blogger”? It’s a pity, the template is really amazing.

You’d go into “Template” => “Edit HTML” and at the bottom of the page you’ll see a link that says “Revert to Classic Template”. Then you’ll be back in Classic HTML mode and you can use this template.

Just remember, you will lose any widgets or sidebar elements from the xml Blogger so hopefully you don’t have any you want to keep.

Good luck Rui. I hope this template works out for you!
