Speed Up Your Blogger Page Load Time - Compress Your CSS

Blogger Articles | David

You have to admit, most free 3rd party Blogger templates that you download are a mess. You open up the xml file and it’s a long and ugly-looking beast of code spaghetti. If you’re like me, you prefer a nice and neat template (even though you’ll be the only one seeing it) and you’ll want […]

Recent Blogger Update Breaks Several Templates

Blogger Articles | David

Blogger has done it again. They’ve released another round of “fixes” that ended up causing us more trouble than good. Within the last week or so, Blogger released at least one noticeable change to their xml parser. How do I know this?

Increase Your Recent Posts and Comments to 10 - Blogger Hack

Blogger Articles | David

Before you get too excited and try the tricks in this post, I just wanted to let you know beforehand that it might not work anymore. Several visitors have tried and told me it didn’t work so the result might be the same for you. Blogger continues to make changes without announcing them so hacks […]

Make Your Own Cool Web 2.0 Blog Buttons

Blogger Articles, WordPress Articles | David

Many of us have blogs and templates we’d like to customize but we just don’t have the skills or software to do it. It also takes time to make design elements in photo editing software so why even bother right? Well, thanks to a cool new website I found called My Cool Button, you can […]

“What Blogger Template Should I Make Next?” Contest

Blogger Articles | David

I get tons of emails and comments from people asking me to convert all sorts of different templates but unfortunately I can’t fulfill everyone’s request. There are literally hundreds (if not thousands) of really cool WordPress and open source .css templates available on the web but it’s sometimes difficult to decide which Blogger templates will […]

Ever come across a blog with a really cool individual post footer section called “What’s Next” and wonder how it was created? It’s not a WordPress plugin or a Blogger widget (at least not yet) and you’ll find it on blogs such as this one, Blogger Buster, and ProBlogger, just to name a few. I’m […]

This is a pretty popular Blogger hack that lots of people have asked me about. Instead of answering to each email individually, I thought it would make more sense to write an article about it.
With this hack, you can choose to display a select amount of text from the beginning of each post as a […]
