I have recently been working on a custom layout for a friend who was previously using a layout from The Cutest Blog on the Block and learned of a few problems that may come up if you are trying to switch to one of my (or possibly even someone else's) layouts.
Basically, here is the solution: MAKE SURE that you remove the HTML gadget you added for your Cutest Blog on the Block background before you try to enter my code. If you decide you want to use one of their layouts again, you can always easily add the gadget again. However my layouts and some others I'm sure will not work unless you remove it first.
I'm going to try to update the directions for uploading my layouts to reflect this but I just wanted to let anyone know who is having problems with it now. I'm also trying to figure out how to use the same method of uploading so it will be a more convenient switch back and forth for all layout users. For now, try deleting the gadget and see how that works for you. As always, let me know if you have any questions or problems!
*Log in to your blog.
*Click on "Layout" on the top left.
*Click on "Page Elements" on the top left.
*Click "Edit" next to the gadget you want to delete, in this case, the one labeled "HTML/Javascript"
(NOTE: You may have more than one gadget labeled "HTML/Javascript" so when it opens, make sure it's the one that contains your background. Look for the code you originally pasted in or anything that looks like an image link e.g. anything ending in .jpg or .png)
*Click "Remove" and save your changes and that should do it.

I hate it when they put those things in there!
Hi, I would like to delete the link installed with a background from TCBOTB to the TCBOTB website. Is this possible? Thanks, Sandi
