You can remove pink colored code <a href='clickmyblog3.blogspot.com'>Blank Theme by Click My Blog</a> later.

You will need to add any javascript between <head> and </head> tags when required.
If you want to add any CSS to your template then you have to add it inside red highlighted
<b:skin><![CDATA[/*  and  ]]></b:skin>
If you want to add any widget data or HTML code then just put it inside <body> and </body> tags.
I will explain you briefly in my coming posts.
