6,When finish editing template , you can upload file to Blogger .

7,In page Elements ,you can add or remove widgets as you want .

To use this template :

Like SimplexTube ,there are two display modes in this template : display as video post and display as a normal blog post .

To post in video display mode , your post need to follow this structure :
