How to backup your "Widgets"

Be like my promise at my previous post that is i
will posting how to backup the data in the widget / page element.



If emerging question do we require to back up the data in page element? the
answer is very require to. Because if you change your old template with new
template, hence the data in page element will follow to be vanished, and you'd
lose all data be like : guest book, blog accessory, blog tool, and also all
which have been attached in your blog forever.











Many the way to back up the data in Widgets / page element, but i'm
limitation of time to comment it in detail, hence I will try explain just
two way, that is backing up directly from Page element and also
backup from template source code.



  • Back up widgets From Page Element



    Back up widgets in this way be in fact very disturbing, however than we lose
    various accessory and also tool which have been attached, wiser likely to do
    so.



    Please follow the steps below :




    1. Login to blogger with your ID


    2. Click Layout.


    3. Click menu Page Elemet, you will see the page be like this (
      just example):


      example for page element





    4. At representative of above seen the article edit which I give
      red circle, You must click at Edit in each the page element,
      hence will emerge popup window figuring in the code have in input to
      that. Pay attention the picture below :


      example image for pop up window




    5. Copy the code inside there, and paste to Notepad.


    6. Repeat the step above at all the elements.


    7. Finish.






    There is the step how to back the data inside page element. This is the
    other way to backup your widgets.






  • Back up widget through Template Source Code

    I think this way is more quickly and efisian, you need a few time to do
    this. This is the steps :


    1. Visit your blog address.


    2. After you at your self blog, click the menu View at the bar
      menu. See the picture below :


      this is the example for see the template source code




    3. After click the menu View, will be out the sub menu, then
      click Source.


    4. if your browser is Internet Explorer, so there is
      automatically will out the notepad with your template source code.
      If your browser is Mozilla Firefox or Opera, so there is
      out the new page with your template source code For example, see
      the picture below :


      the example for source code at the notpad




    5. Save your template source code.


    6. Finish.






    If your question, where is the widgets code? there is always begin with :


    <div class='widget-content'>




    And in terminating with code :

    </div>





    For example, in my template source code. there are code be like this :



    <h2 class='title'>Buku Tamu</h2> <!-- this the title of your widget
    -->



    <div class='widget-content'> <!-- look at this code -->

    <!-- Begin Shoutbox - http://www.shoutmix.com -->

    <iframe scrolling="auto" width="170" frameborder="0" src="http://www.shoutmix.com/?jaya"
    height="500" title="jaya">

    <a href="http://www.shoutmix.com/?jaya">View shoutbox</a>

    </iframe>

    <br/><a href="http://www.shoutmix.com" title="Get your own free shoutbox
    at ShoutMix!"></a><br/>

    <!-- End Shoutbox -->

    </div> <!-- look at this code too -->







    So, my widget code is like this :







  • <!-- Begin Shoutbox - http://www.shoutmix.com -->

    <iframe scrolling="auto" width="170" frameborder="0" src="http://www.shoutmix.com/?jaya"
    height="500" title="jaya">

    <a href="http://www.shoutmix.com/?jaya">View shoutbox</a>

    </iframe>

    <br/><a href="http://www.shoutmix.com" title="Get your own free shoutbox
    at ShoutMix!"></a><br/>

    <!-- End Shoutbox -->






    I hope with this post you become know how to backup your widget template.
    So, if you want change your template with a new template. Please don't
    forget to backup your template and your widgets too.



    In my next post, i will discuss about How to change the template/theme.




    See you in my next post.
