Configurable Features:

This template has a lot of customization possibility. Now I will be explaining how to configure some basic features of this template according to your requirements


1. Menu

The menu used is the default Blogger menu. When you will Install the template on your blog , you will see a stray text "Pages" written near the Menu. To remove it , Go to Layouts and Click the Edit button of the Pages Widget . Now in the title field remove everything and Save the Widget.


Extra Note: When you will install the template you will also see a Date above the post title and also the default Blogger sharing buttons . To remove them go to Layouts and edit the Blog Post widget. Untick the Date and Sharing button option and save.


2. Pagination


To change the number of posts to be shown on using pagination find the term postperpage ( Using CTRL+F ) ,There will be a script something like this 

<script type='text/javascript'>
var home_page=&quot;/&quot;;
var urlactivepage=location.href;
var postperpage=3;
var numshowpage=6;
var upPageWord =&#39;Previous&#39;;
var downPageWord =&#39;Next&#39;;
</script>

You can change the number values as you like in the above code.
var postperpage=9; → Changes the no of posts that will show up on clicking any page number.
var numshowpage=3;→ Changes the number of linking to show in the widget

Note: Make sure that you also set the value of Number of Posts on Main Page (Go to Design > Page Elements , Click on Edit option of Blog Post and then Number of posts on main page: ) to same as that of the postperpage value.
