This Page is an example of what a Magazine Style 4 Column Template looks like with an upper right gadget which can be used for displaying YouTube videos. I've included the following picture to see what the gadget layout looks like. There is plenty of room to add YouTube videos, Sponsor ads of virtually any size, blog feeds, and much much more. This template comes from the standard blogger Minima template which was modified to a 4 column template by Peter Chen (blogger-tricks.blogspot.com) and then further modified by myself to bring you various improvements including the upper third column for videos and an additional footer section. There are very few basic templates out there that come even close to the versatility of this one.

Saving Your Widgets
1) Open the notepad where you saved your old template.
2) Look for your widget sections in the code and copy your widgets. I've highlighted some as an example (Only copy the widgets, I've highlighted what they look like in Yellow. DO NOT copy the parts that say "section class" or "section" or "div")
3) Paste these widgets In Your New Template. Paste them immediately after the "sections" Do Not Paste over the sections.
Once you've pasted your widgets it should look similar to the Fig2 picture. Now Save your Template. You can click on Page Elements to move your widgets around in the sections that you want them in. If you have any questions or problems you can email me at AmericanPrepper@yahoo.com. Remember to backup your old Template! Keep checking back I will show how to change text colors borders and backgrounds. Go Here to see how to add the Tabbed Menu Bar.
