5. Now copy this code below.
<a class='updated' href='YOUR BLOG URL' rel='bookmark'> NAME OF YOUR BLOG, </a> Updated at: <abbr class='published' expr:title='data:post.timestampISO8601'><data:post.timestamp/></abbr>
Note: Remember to change YOUR BLOG URL to your blog URL and NAME OF YOUR BLOG to your own blog name!)6. Paste the code just BELOW the first line: <data:post.body/>
7. So this is how it should look like:
<data:post.body/>
