Instead, at that topographic signal is just Template, which takes yous straight to the Template designer:  this happens because, dissimilar layout or designer templates, you straight hold no command over the layout of a weblog amongst dynamic template, besides every bit cannot edit the HTML behind it.

If yous wishing to straight hold this marker of control, including beingness responsible for the consequences of editing your template, besides every bit hence yous guide hold to guide hold away the dynamic template, besides every bit switch dorsum to a regular one.

This is however relevant, because people tin see your weblog using dynamic views, even out if yous haven't chosen a dynamic template, by times using    www.YourURL.blogspot.com/view   (although this may non run for blogs amongst custom URLs)
