Finally, An End To The Boring Fonts Selection

By
Many blog owners have been asking for a selection of less boring fonts for their blogs.
It would be so nice to have more default font styles. I know that you can edit them in your HTML, but that is a tedious template editing process.

Blogger has been listening, and recently, Blogger responded.
The Web has traditionally been pretty limited when it comes to font selection, especially for non-Latin alphabets such as Cyrillic and Greek. But great strides have been made in this arena by our friends on the Google Web Fonts team, and finally there are more choices out there than just Arial and Times New Roman.

You'll find an improvement to the typical Font list, in the Template Designer Advanced wizard - accessed using the "Customize" button, on the "Template" dashboard page.

Boring!



Better!



If you like, you can even add wizards to the Template Designer - and improve colors, fonts, and other settings even more.

I remember reading years ago that font selection had an effect on being more easily found on search engines. Is that no longer valid?

The search engines index text, so font selection, along with various other blog accessorisation and decoration choices, will not have a direct effect either way upon search engine reputation.

However, noting that inlinks and traffic has an indirect effect upon reader relationship, and reader relationship will have some effect upon search engine reputation, you can surely see a cause and effect between having a crappy blog (poor choice of accessories, decorations, and fonts), and search engine reputation.

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.

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.
