The following diagram explains the layout of Blogger Templates

The sidebar can be placed at either side of the main wrapper. Also there are various types of sidebar.

If you are using Internet Explorer, you wont be able to see the rounded corners as it is not supported in IE till now. Designers used to have 3 background images to simulate this effect. For more assistance have a look at Puffy or Orkut Simple Templates.

Margin will create a space between an element/block to which it is applied and the elements/blocks surrounding it. Padding will create space between element/block to which it is applied and the elements/blocks which are inside it.

Set the margin left and margin right of the block to the value "auto" and it will center align that block.

There are many constraints while designing a template. When you look a template at one screen resolution it will look fine. But when you change the resolution to a lower value, there are chances that the template get collapsed. It happens especially when percentage is used to define width of blocks, because percentage here refers with respect to the browser viewing area and not with respect to the page width. Hence when you change the width of browser (using restore, maximize button), there are chances that the page look gets collapsed. So it is recommended to set minimum width of around 750 px to body settings, when percentage is used to set width of inner blocks. 750 is chosen because 800x600 is the most common resolution, though we are migrating to higher resolutions. Since the browser displays scroll, some pixels are taken away.

Make sure that you have Flash plugin installed in your browser. Also since database is used to store the code for templates, accessing the database and retrieving the code for it takes some time. So kindly wait and see for quite some time.
