I have a blogger template (xml file). Is there any way to test or run the blogger theme locally?
No, you cannot build them offline. You can only preview/test/build them in the live Blogger system.
Here is a great article that addresses that among a ton of other factors.
You might be able to hack a local test together with Firefox Web Developer Plugin + FireBug extension (modify the website code locally).
The easier way: a sample blog to test it?
If I remember correctly, you should be able to perform a preview of your template from within blogger, but maybe that was with old-style templates?
The only way to test the templates is using a test blog ready all the time.
Not a cool way though but works.
Searching for a different way and didn't got one.

I am working on a portfolio website for a client where they need to be able to upload their work: videos and photos, and some text with (title, short description). Normally I would make such a website with a system like Wordpress, however, the way the website would work is not possible to build with Wordpress (unusual navigation and a more dynamic/animated way to switch between pages). So, I want to build this website by HTML and then connect a CMS system where they can upload their work, which will then properly loaded into HTML pages. I have tried to google solutions, but I cannot find a good approach/tool to do this. Does anyone have a good recommendation for me? Thank in advance, Jip Asveld
I think Wordpress theme is the best solution.
It is very easy to create Wordpress theme from HTML.
Of course, you can CMS functionality to the theme.
You can refer various documents by Google.
For instance, this is one of the documents.

Have you concisered a headless cms like https://forestry.io/? This ideal for static html websites, which you could combine with a framework like https://gohugo.io/ to build such a site.
I was just wondering because it would make life easier for me.
Is it possible to make a website automatically update whilst programming it.
So for example if i was coding with Notepad++ it would automatically update and display it in chrome.
Yes it is possible to do that using http://livereload.com/. If you are working with preprocessor, then Prepros or Codekit will be your choice. Both of them support live reload.
There is an addon: http://fossil.2of4.net/npp_preview/home for notepad++. There are numerous other solutions but you have to find a program that fits your needs. An easy google search on 'html live preview' will list a lot.
I was wonderig, if it is possible to work on code simultaneously. I am currently creating stylesheet with co-worker and i need a possibilty to preview the website online. Things like git are not efficient enough. Google Drive would be awesome if it only supported syntax highlighting and previewing.
Koding would provide exactly what you want.
I'm developing a mobile application in HTML/CSS/JavaScript using PhoneGap.
The question I have is how to manage files in my project. It seems that the application runs faster if all the HTML is placed into one file. In my case, my application should contain several pages and I can't think dealing with a more-than-2000-lines index.html, repeating each time same code for different views.
I'm coming to you to know what solutions you've found to make something simple that a foreign developer could understand and work on easily.
I'm using jQuery Mobile Beta 1. I've heard about jQuery tmpl which appears to me as a good solution to clear the code and reuse HTML, but is there another trick?
Thank you for your answers. Hope this topic would be useful for someone else.
Phonegap are not support multipage app. But mustache for js https://github.com/janl/mustache.js could help with managing of multiple html files.
I am looking for a blogging platform that has built in tools for programming-related content. For example, I've seen blogs that have line-numbers, color-coded line separation, code-formatting and tool tips for copying and pasting code-samples. Some of these are better than others. (I'm sure I'm not the only one here who gets annoyed by blog entries with posted source that you can't copy without also copying all the line numbers). So, my question is what blogging-platform does the community recommend for a developer-oriented blog?
er...none that i know of. at the moment, you have to get the bits and pieces together. for my own blog (Blogger, so i'm limited in addons), i use Highlight code converter to generate the display HTML/inline CSS, clean it up a bit (the default settings assume you're creating an entire web page from the code) by removing unnecessary markup, then using it in my blog posts.
Wordpress has the code highligthing feature using some addins, if you are going to host it yourself it will be a very good option to use Wordpress.
BlogDown is a static blogging platform, so it can be hosted on GitHub. You can write posts with markdown files, which has great support for code snippets. You can write your own themes and modules for it also. Unlike Jekkyl, BlogDown does not have a compilations step. You just swap out the markdown files, and you're good to go. It's also worth noting that BlogDown supports custom renderers.
