"Layout" rearranging for users with customized templates is currently broken. We are investigating the issue.

Javascript inserted in some classic template titles 1956393

Some users who use Blogger's classic templates are seeing javascript inserted into the <title> elements of their pages. This results when users have modified the standard templates and have inserted the <blogger> and </blogger> tags into their <title> elements.

If your blog is affected, go to "Template", then click on "Edit HTML". Remove anything between <title> and </title> in your template, and replace it with this:

<$BlogPageTitle$>

We are looking at the feasability of adjusting our code to be sensitive to cases where the template has <blogger> tags inserted in the <title>, but for now please use the above work-around to eliminate the javascript code from your blog's page titles.

If you have a customized template or have inserted some 3rd party code into your template, your embedded comment form may not appear as normal.

Comment pagination does not work in post view on blogs with Classic templates. To workaround this issue, click through to the comments form.

Update, 2/29: Comment pagination on Classic templates is now available by adding the <$CommentPager$> tag to your template.

Update, 5/6: Comment pagination does not work for blogs published with FTP.

Some templates have slight layout issues when used with right-to-left languages. E.g. some text may overlap with parts of the layout.

CantSeeAddPageElement

Some users report that they are unable to see the “Add Page Element” links in their Template | Page Elements tab. This occurs when the blog incorrectly tries to display from a URL with “www2” instead of “www.” To work around this problem, simply remove the “2” from the URL.

Update, 5/24: If you are still experiencing this issue but do not have a "2" in your URL, then there may be JavaScript causing the "Add Page Element" links to disappear. Please ensure that you put all JavaScript into JavaScript page elements, instead of directly into your template code.

ClassicTemp20LabelsOnly

If you use a classic template, the labels pages will only display the last 20 posts for each label, with no link to view older posts. If you switch to a Layouts template, you will automatically get "older posts" links to go back through each set of labels.

LayoutsInSafari

Drag-and-drop customization of the new Blogger’s new template system (layouts) does not work in Safari, nor does fonts and colors customization. You must use either Firefox or Internet Explorer 6+ to use these features of the new Blogger. (They also work mostly with Opera 9, though with some visual glitches.)

FTPNoLayoutsFeature

The new drag-and-drop template feature, Layouts, is not available for blogs published via FTP. Update, 12/18: Because Layouts relies heavily on new Blogger’s dynamic serving of pages, this is unlikely to be supported soon if ever.

Labels aren’t (yet) supported for blogs using classic templates. If you want to use labels, you currently need to switch to a new Layouts template.

Update (9/14): You can now enter labels for your blog with a classic template. The labels will appear under the post body, and searching for labeled content works the same as for a layouts blog. However, there is no tag for adding all your labels to your sidebar. To use the sidebar labels widget, you'll have to switch to a Layouts template.

The HTML/Javascript page element was breaking some scripts such as Flickr badges. This should be resolved now.
