Hey MakeUseOf!
So I went on a mission to remove it and de-bloggerify my blog.
I searched far and wide and for some reason kept hitting a dead end.
It turns out that the code used to change the old blogger templates no longer works!
it’s crucial that you put in anywhere in your template between the tags.
I used to be really jealous of Feedburner’s awesome quotes that change on refresh.
I went out looking for my own way to do something similar.
5.Adding inline ads
6.Use Feedburner
Feedburner lets you “burn your feed” and add feed flare.
This is a MUST do for any blog.
Almost a no brainer.
Blogger lets you specify your Feedburner information in their ‘Site Feed’ tab inside your dashboard.
Once there you will see a place to plug in your Feeburners URL.
This is one thing I always hear people complaining about blogger.
But I can’t add a second page or even a page for contact information… Wahhh Wahhh Wahhh.
How about a little creativity?
For this hack all I did was create some posts labeled About Us Contact Us etc.
And then made their published dates way back when and linked to the posts from my template.
Result - pseudo additional pages!
But they did one better and redirect their address’s to yours.
So even if you pop in inhttp://asktheadmin.blogspot.comyou will wind up athttp://www.asktheadmin.com!
9.Add Instant Messaging to your Blogger blog.
Want to chat with your users real time?
upgrade your blog on a daily basis.
Because that is all the readers want now isn’t it?
Would you read your own site - if it wasn’t yours??
If your answer is no, then you got some serious re-thinking to do!
