This simple tutorial will teach you how to change your template without deleting your widgets.
1- Create a new blog which will serve as a test blog.
2- Upload your new .XML template to that test blog.
3- Now go to the Edit HTML section of your existing blog (not the test blog) and search for <div id='sidebar-wrapper'>.
4- Once you've found <div id='sidebar-wrapper'>, copy all the data between <div id='sidebar-wrapper'> and </div>.
5- Go back to the Edit HTML section of your test blog and find <div id='sidebar-wrapper'> and paste all the copied data right after <div id='sidebar-wrapper'>.
6- Click on SAVE TEMPLATE button to save all the changes you've made to your test blog.
7- Now, click on Download Full Template link to download this test blog on your hard drive as an .XML file.
8- Upload this .XML file to your current template and you'll see that your widgets will remain intact.

Note: Most of the new templates also have a navigation menu which will not be saved by this method, however, you can request us to take a look at your blog and help you out. If you can't find <div id='sidebar-wrapper'> it means that you're using a custom template with some different sidebar tags. Don't worry, just hit us with a comment and we'll help you.
