Manage The Blogs That You Follow, Carefully

By
Blogger Following and Google Friend Connect are great ways to connect with others - and to let them connect with us. But people change, and so do our interests. Like our need to manage who Follow us, we need to occasionally manage what blogs we Follow.

This, normally, isn't difficult. In the Classic GUI, go to the bottom of your dashboard, click on Manage, and you have a menu of the blogs that you Follow. From here, you can Add blogs to Follow, you can remove any that you currently Follow, or you can change your Following settings.

The New GUI (2011) has a Gear icon in the upper right corner of the Reading List section of the dashboard, which provides a similar wizard.

In changing your Following settings, you can change between Following a blog anonymously or publicly. If you choose to Follow any given blog publicly, you can choose whether to include this blog in your profile, on each site where you Follow publicly. Don't make this change casually, if you are concerned about anonymity.

However, you can only manage your Following profile if you have chosen to make your Blogger profile public. If you have chosen to not share your Blogger profile, when you hit the Manage button to manage your Following community, you'll get a notice about "Profile Not Available".

Mike,

Look for the "Stop Following" link, on the Settings wizard for the blog with the right title, which is accessed from the "Manage" button.

Add A Custom Redirect, If You Change A Post URL

By
When you rename a blog, the most that you can do, to keep the old URL useful, is to setup a stub post , with a clickable link to the new URL. Yo! The blog is now at xxxxxxx.blogspot.com!! Blogger forbids gateway blogs, and similar blog to blog redirections . When you rename a post, you can setup a custom redirect - and automatically redirect your readers to the post, under its new URL. You should take advantage of this option, if you change a post URL.

Referer Spam Is Annoying - And, It's Persistent

By
Recently, we've seen a few blog owners who are curious about odd trends in their Stats displays. My numbers seem to go up steadily for a while, then drop. Then, they go up again, for a while, then drop again. Rises and falls in traffic are normal. You'll never have the same number of people, viewing your blog, constantly. During some days and some hours, our readers are going to be elsewhere, and not viewing our blogs.

Jump Break Is Visible Only In An Index Page

By
Some blog owners are unsure what a Jump Break looks like, when applied to their blogs. Occasionally, in Blogger Help Forum: Get Help with an Issue , we see the confusion. Where's the Jump Break? or I added a Jump Break to several posts, but it never shows up! When asked for a screen print of what they're seeing, they may provide a image of the post, in the Post Editor Preview window - or possibly, the published post, but in post page view.
