Excellent Magazine Style Blogger Template "Falkner Press"

I'm sure this is annoying question but can someone copy and paste the instructions to add .text to google blogspot server? I've searched it for a while on the downloaded folder you've provided but just never seemed to find it. So if anyone knows how you did it, just copy and paste the instructions for folks like us to follow. Thanks.

Ron,
Many people, including myself, thought that it was the Installation Instructions shortcut in the "falknerpress" folder that had the instruction for the .txt files.
If you open the "javascript files" folder contained in the "falknerpress" folder, you will find a file named "help" It is an .html file that will show you exactly what you are looking for.

1. If you do not already have a google sites account, you can register with them and upload these .txt files to it.
- autoreadmorethumbs.txt
- jd.gallery.txt
- mootools.v1.11.txt
- recentposts thumbnail.txt
- tabber.txt

2. Once you have uploaded the .txt files, right click on each file and select "copy link location."

3. The url that is copied from each file will look similar to this:
"http://sites.google.com/site/bloggertricksjs/Home/autoreadmorethumb.txt?attredirects=0"
strip off anything past .txt as you will not need it. In this example, the "?attredirects=0" is removed.

4. Now go through the template code (the falknerpress.xml file in the falknerpress folder) and replace the old links with your new ones.

Note: in the help.html file, the list at the bottom of the instructions is what the original links are. This will help you find them and replace them in the code. However, line item #3 is "http://54800.com/wp-content/themes/falkner/js/tabber.js" It is not listed in the attachments and the attachment "recentposts thumbnail.txt" is not in the original links list. This may confuse you. Just do a search for the names of the attachment files and they should be easy enough to find and replace with the new links.

Hope this helps.

I have a question that I hope does not require a lot of your time to answer.
I would like to add the "books" and "categories" sections from your falknerpress demo to my site.
What must I change in the code to make that appear?

Obviously, I am a code newbie and I appreciate your patience.

Fantastic explanation!

I was indeed looking in the wrong place and did stumble in the same path as you stated. I've completed every step with the exception of step 4. You say to "Now go through the template code (the falknerpress.xml file in the falknerpress folder) and replace the old links with your new ones.", but every time I try to open the .falknerpress.xml file in the falknerpress folder, it takes me to my file://localhost/C:/Users on my browser and shows very few non-editable material of my blogspot. Then I tried to go to my layout HTML page on my blogspot and found the links and swapped them with the ones I hosted on the Google Site and it just made the featured pictures collapse. I did use the .text as you state in step 3, so I'm clueless on how to fix this issue.

why my blog look like this? explanation please...

Thank you. I'm still very new at this too so I'm just trying to pass on what I have found as I go along.
It sounds to me like you do not have an XML editor. I used dreamweaver to open and edit my .xml file. I've heard that there are many applications available that will allow you to edit it.
Free is usually my first choice so I have also used XML Notepad and that seems to work pretty well. You could give that a try.

I also tried editing the code directly in the blogger dashboard and didn't get the results I was looking for. I'm not sure why but maybe someone here who has more knowledge could explain that.
Once you have edited and saved your xml file, just open the blogger dashboard/layout/edit html and click on browse to find your file and then click upload. If your preview looks good just make sure you save it.

You can use any text editor, to edit .xml files, a .xml file is all plain text. You could use Windows Notepad, it's not very nice looking, still it's free, & works.

I use the editor in VB.net 2008, only because I write Windows programs as a hobby, so I already had it loaded on my PC. A text editor with line numbers helps a lot.

So, I simply can't understand this slideshow function in this template. I tried linking my images from three sites and all worked for a day or two then back to all images static and rolling down the page. I am sure my .txt files are set properly. Does anyone know what this is all about or should I just give up? Is this a blogger.com issue? Is it a template code problem? I am using 4 images each about 30k so I know I'm not killing any bandwidth limitations.

Yeah I would like a header that says Stealing Society. Thanks
