The latest tips and news from the Blogger team
How the Google Page Creator shutdown may affect your blog
February 03, 2010
By Wiktor Gworek, Software Engineer (Krakow, Poland)
A while back, Google
announced
that they were shutting down
Google Page Creator
and offered users the option to upgrade to
Google Sites
. In the past, some custom template designers used Page Creator to host javascript, a file type that Google Sites does not support. Since a number of bloggers use templates that rely on files hosted on Page Creator, we realized that links to those files would break once the migration from Page Creator to Sites was complete.
Fret not! Rather than see our users' templates break, we built a tool to preserve these links and host the affected files. To find out if your blog is affected, login to your
Blogger Dashboard
. If we've detected that your blog template contains links to Google Page Creator, you will see the following warning:
If you see this warning, click
Update and review
to access the
Blogger Template Fixer
and correct the links on your blog. (Note: you may not notice any problems with your blog until Page Creator shuts down over the coming days). Visit our
Help Center
to learn more about fixing your template.
Also, if you have issues fixing your template, let us know at the
Blogger Help Group
.
