Install
- In the Blogger dashboard, open Theme.
- Open the menu next to Customize and choose Backup to download your current theme.
- In the same menu choose Restore and upload the template XML file.
- Open Layout and confirm that your widgets are in place.

Updates
When a new template version is released, repeat the backup step, then restore the new XML. Re-apply any custom code you added, because restoring replaces the theme file.
