"Fonts and Colors" Is Now A Template Designer Menu

There were months in 2010, when the Template Designer was a Draft Blogger feature.

During 2010, we saw a few reports from bloggers who tried to use the "Fonts and Colors" wizard to make changes to a blog with a Designer template - or tried to use the Template Designer to make changes to a blog with a Layouts template. Since the CSS rules used in Designer templates are significantly different from those in Layout templates, this was a source of a few problems.

As part of adding the Template Designer to Production Blogger, Blogger has removed "Fonts and Colors", and has made the Advanced menu in Template Designer sensitive to Designer vs Layout CSS differences.

Now, you use Template Designer for all Fonts and Colors changes to blogs with a Layout template, as well as to blogs with a Designer template.


There's no No Fonts and Colors wizard, so how do I make changes to my Layout template?



Apparently, using the Template Designer!



Looks like it works!



Now, if you are using the Advanced menu, and find that you don't care for the way the various settings are grouped, or would like additional controls, you can add settings, or shuffle settings around - on a blog by blog basis.

Jump Break Is Visible Only In An Index Page

Some blog owners are unsure what a Jump Break looks like, when applied to their blogs. Occasionally, in Blogger Help Forum: Get Help with an Issue , we see the confusion. Where's the Jump Break? or I added a Jump Break to several posts, but it never shows up! When asked for a screen print of what they're seeing, they may provide a image of the post, in the Post Editor Preview window - or possibly, the published post, but in post page view.
