Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed - SOLVED!!

If you were trying to install a blogger template or layout from somewhere and maybe you pasted it in or just uploaded it--it doesn't matter. But when you tried to save it, Blogger threw some nasty red error message at you saying something like "Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly..." or whatever. Before you say to Blogger, "Can't parse, eh? How about you KISS MY ARSE?" you can try this simple trick.

I found it from this dood's website:

If you receive the following error message 'Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly. XML error message: The markup in the document preceding the root element must be well-formed.' scroll down the page and click on Revert to Classic Template.

Revert to Classic, as in kick it back old school style. Works like a charm!
