Blogger RSS + "Connected Accounts"

I have made one or two blogs with blogger before. My memory isn't very good, but I thought Blogger automatically created an RSS feed for each blog. Whatever the truth is, I remember in the past that people 'burned' their feeds with feedburner (now owned by Google). By setting up feedburner, I also found a Google Profile setting I otherwise didn't know existed...

How to Restrict Blogger's Tag Cloud to A Page

Blogger has a tag cloud (label cloud) widget that simply lets you have a listing of all the labels you've used in your blog. As I mentioned in a prior post, the downside of this is that every page has the tag cloud, and thus those tags become searchable text for each and every page. That doesn't make it any easier for search engines to look at your site...

Blogger Blog Search Widget is Broken? -Update

It may not in fact be broken, it may just take a long time before the widget gets to 'update' it's search results of this site. It appears today that I can search old posts, but not a post that I just made. I will try to remember to re-search the recent post before this one, and try figure what the update window is like.

Add a Twitter Widget to Blogger

There's blogging, and there's micro-blogging. It would be nice to put the two together somehow... oh wait, there are widgets for that!

Blogger Blog Search Widget is Broken?

Blogger Jump Breaks

I guess I've always seen the "read more" expansion links to full articles all the time, but I didn't give it much attention till I saw Engadget posts read something like 'more after the break'. I don't know if I would term it like that with my blog, but it made me think about putting this concept into practice.

Google's support page reads you in on this, and goes on to remind that even though you may start using the jump break, your posts won't appear different until you visit "Settings" > "Other" - and look at "Site Feed" section, and change the "Allow Blog Feed" setting (kind of an odd way to present the terminology, save the only logical choice for the purpose of this post).

Custom Blogger Templates

Blogger has a meager selection of templates compared to Wordpress or tumblr. But a quick search may lead you to btemplates.
