I want to use your software to eventually design blogger templates. Is this something I can do with your software? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm a newbie...

You can use the HTML Editor to create php files for blog templates. You would, of course, have to know php and how the blog template system works.

And it would also be useful to know how to use an image editor too so as to combine images into your template using the code editor

As long as blogger templates use html, xhtml, css, javascript, php, flash...... You can use the HTML Editor to build whatever you want! Have you messed around with Blogger's template designer? Maybe you could try a few of their templates and take a look at the code they produce? There are hundreds of sites that offer Blogger templates as well (here's one: http://btemplates.com/ ), and here are some actual Blogger blogs, take a look at some of the source codes to get an idea how they're built:

Don't forget - you can try out any Coffee Cup software program for free before you buy it

okay - so does someone want to do this for me....just kidding...anyway, thanks for the feed back, i don't know php, i'm becoming familiar with blogger templates and blogger blogs to see how it's done, and i love tinkering around with software stuff so i thought i'd give it a shot...might be a stupid shot, but thought i'd try...i'm like the google guy, i know how to google really well...ha...!

and by the way what's w/the default image being in the shape of a guy's head...that's a little sexist don't ya think...again teasing...but you know.

love douglas adams by the way....

Give the HTML Editor a try - it's a great piece of software no matter your experience level, and there's a lot of people here that are happy to share their experience
