If you have upgraded your old BloggerTM account to the new, improved Blogger system, then you know that you have the option to transfer your existing blog or blogs over to the new system. If you haven’t done this yet with the blog that we have been creating in this series, do that now and then come back to continue the tutorial. Now that your blog has been imported into the new Blogger system, you still cannot use Blogger's new layout features on your blog until you upgrade to one of the new layout enabled templates. That’s what we will do now. Once you have logged in to your new account, go to the Dashboard where you will notice that all of your blogs are listed. If you have created any blogs with the new system, these will be listed along with the tutorial blog that you transferred. To the right of each blog’s name, you will see a link labeled either “Template” or “Layout”. The blogs created with the new system will automatically have the Layout link and the transferred blog will still have the Template link.
