Hello Tiffany,

I've searched for this error code in the Blogger help groups, and it seems this sometimes happens when the editor tries to delete widgets which are no longer there (if this makes sense!). The solution which seems to have worked for others is to delete all the widgets in your "Layouts" section, then try to upload the template again.

FYI: if you need to retain the information in your widgets (eg: links, code, etc) look at the source code of your blog and copy these sections to Notepad so you can restore them later.

Hope this helps! Feel free to email me if you need more help.

Hi, thanks for such a cute template! I have one question. Can you let me know how to add the page tabs that you have on the demo page? I tried using the tutorial and couldn't get it right. Also on the demo it has the little flowers on the tabs.

I am in the process of changing the look at my blog. Question for you though. How do I change the side of 2 sidebar on the left and right. I am planning to make it little bit smaller and make the main (in the middle) wider. Really appreciate your help:)

Thanks a ton Amanda, I really loved the layout. It is totally appropriate for my blog.

Could u help me with just 2 things.
1) The animated butterfly, (the coolest feature on the layout) is not showing (dunno why). I have tried shifting the widgets but its not happening, I can see a glimpse of it before it gets covered.
2) Can you let me know how to add the page tabs that you have on the demo page?
THANKS AGAIN.
You've done a superb job.
