Annoying!!!

I was experimenting with templates and lost all of my links I had to edit within the HTML when I first set up the blog. Is there a way to keep that from happening? and is there an easier way to add them to begin with?

I guess I'm just too used to using TypePad for my primary blog, which is much better than Blogger, so I guess I'm spoiled by their many user-friendly editing tools. It is VERY easy to use and extremely intuitive & flexible.

So, I'm thinking I'm going to be getting rid of this blog before too long if a better way can't be found. I spent more time than necessary to begin with to add those links and it totally stinks that I lost them!!!
