Topic: Editing Blogger Template in Dreamweaver

Ok, so I recently signed up to blogger.com.   

I found a template I kinda like, but I want to edit it quite substantially.   So I noticed the customization option, I clicked on layout, and then clicked "edit html".   I downloaded the xml file.  I opened it in dreamweaver, and when I look it over, the code all appears to make sense.   But when I preview the code in firefox, it doesn't work.   

For a second I thought this might have been because I had to run the file through WAMP, but that didn't fix it either.

Can anyone here help me with this?

You won't be able to preview that locally. It requires a database and additional code to make it work that you can't download (as far as I know). To preview things, you'll have to make your changes in Dreamweaver, copy the code and paste it back into blogger to preview.

Why not use Wordpress?  You can host it on your own domain, edit the core files via ftp and preview it on the fly!
