Broken Heart v1.0 Portfolio Pro Theme - Customization Guide

Welcome to your new Portfolio Pro theme!

The best part about this theme is that you do not need to be a developer to customize the homepage. All the key sections (Hero, About, Services, etc.) are built as standard "Gadgets" or "Widgets" that you can edit directly from your Blogger Dashboard.

🚀 Getting Started

  1. Log in to your Blogger Dashboard.

  2. Click on Layout in the left-hand menu.

  3. Scroll down to the "Main" section. You will see several boxes with names like "Hero Content", "About Section", "Services Grid", etc.

  4. To edit a section, simply click the Edit (Pencil Icon) on that box.

📝 How to Edit Each Section

When you open a widget, you will see some code. Don't panic! You only need to replace the specific text or links. Leave the weird symbols (like <div...> or </div>) alone.

1. Hero Section (Top Banner)

  • Widget Name: Hero Content

  • What to change:

    • Headline: Find the text inside <h1>...</h1>.

      • Example: Change Creative Strategist &<br/>Digital Designer to your own title.

    • Description: Find the text inside <p class="hero-desc">...</p>.

    • Buttons: Look for Get in Touch and View Work to change the button labels.

2. About Me Section

  • Widget Name: About Section

  • How to change your photo:

    • Find the code: <img src="https://..." ... />

    • Replace the link inside src="..." with a link to your own photo.

    • Tip: You can upload your photo to a draft blog post, right-click it to "Copy Image Address," and paste it here.

  • Bio Text: Simply replace the paragraphs starting with "I'm a multidisciplinary designer..." with your own bio.

3. Services Section

  • Widget Name: Services Grid

  • How to change icons:

    • We use emojis for simplicity! Look for the lines like: <div class="service-icon">🎨</div>.

    • Just delete the 🎨 and paste any emoji you want (like 💻, 📷, ✍️).

  • Text: Replace "UI/UX Design" and the description text below it with your own services.

4. Featured Projects (Important!)

  • Widget Name: Featured Projects

  • How to add your projects:

    • Image: Replace the src="..." link with a screenshot of your project.

    • Category: Find <div class="project-meta">Mobile App • EdTech</div> and change the text.

    • Title: Change "EduSpace Learning Platform" to your project name.

    • Stats: Look for <span>🚀 25% Engagement</span>. You can change the emoji and the text to highlight your results.

    • Link: Find <a href="#".... Replace the # with the link to your full case study or live project.

5. Skills Section

  • Widget Name: Skills List

  • How to change the progress bars:

    • Skill Name: Change "Figma" or "HTML/CSS" to your skills.

    • Percentage Text: Change the text 95% to your number.

    • Bar Visual: Important! Look for style="width:95%". Change that number (95%) to match your skill level (e.g., width:50% for half full).

6. Testimonials

  • Widget Name: Testimonials

  • What to change:

    • Replace the text inside <p class="quote-text">...</p> with the testimonial.

    • Update the <strong>Name</strong> and <span>Company</span>.

7. Contact Section

  • Widget Name: Contact CTA

  • How to link your email:

    • Find this code: <a href="mailto:hello@example.com"...

    • Replace hello@example.com with your actual email address.

📸 Image Tips

  • Dimensions: For the best look, try to use horizontal images (landscape) for Projects and square images for your Profile.

  • Hosting: Since Blogger doesn't have a "Media Library" in the Layout tab, the easiest way to get image links is:

    1. Create a New Post.

    2. Upload your images there.

    3. Right-click the image and select "Copy Image Address".

    4. Discard the post (you don't need to publish it).

    5. Paste that link into your widget code.

⚠️ Troubleshooting

  • "I deleted something and it looks broken!"

    • If a section looks messy, you might have accidentally deleted a closing tag like </div>.

    • Don't worry! You can just ask for the original code for that specific section again, and paste it back in.
