testing blog locally?

Question

Hi,

I have a blogger template(xml file). Is there any way to test or run the blogger theme locally?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You might be able to hack a local test together with Firefox Web Developer Plugin + FireBug extension (modify the website code locally).

The easier way: a sample blog to test it?

Answer 2

If I remember correctly, you should be able to perform a preview of your template from within blogger, but maybe that was with old-style templates?

Answer 3

No, you cannot build them offline. You can only preview/test/build them in the live Blogger system.

Here is a great article that addresses that among a ton of other factors.
