Blogger Magic - A Static Home Page, Video Demonstration

By
To better explain the process of setting up a blog with a static home page, I have produced a new video demonstration (somewhat improved, from the attempt earlier today). This is experimental, so be kind.

This is intentionally a silent video, because the recording process, used for displaying the screen, is very heavy on computer resources. Audio doesn't improve the experience.

See the How To page, in the demo blog, first:

And now, the video:

Should there be audio?

No, Jeff, it's silent - the Screen Share feature uses a lot of resources, and caused some nasty audio, the first time I tried doing a Hangout.

Thanks for watching though.

Hi Chuck,

great post - good idea!

I have one question - in the settings there is a small box "permanent", there you can put a tick .. what's the job of this setting? It seems to do nothing ... is there a possibility to get back to [real] homepage with all the posts? Until now, I do it with workaround, namely http://myblog.blogspot.com/?m=0 ... do you know a smarter way?

Thanks

[and sorry for my poor english ...]

Thanks for the encouragement, Oliver!

You're asking about "permanent" vs "temporary" forwarding - which is an Internet issue - not a Blogger issue, and it's been an issue for a few years. I did some research, on "301 Moved Permanently" vs "302 Moved Temporarily" forwarding, a few years back.

Personally, I don't see any choice better than "301 Moved Permanently" (ie, checking "Permanent"). Having said that, maybe it's time to revisit the issue.

Hi Chuck - thanks for feedback!

Yes, 301 moved vs. 302 moved sounds logical. Maybe it's a good idea - to avoid double content - to use the "permanent" issue.

Thanks for your blogging such themes, your blog is a great mine for blogger themes.

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.

Blogger Magic - Adding Label Search URLs

By
One of the simplest ways to make a blog useful is to add label searches. Adding label searches, in page / post text, is not easy - unless you know how to build the URLs. Here's a label search from this blog. http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/search/label/Blogger%20Magic All that I want, when using that label search, is to add another reference to my "Blogger Magic" post series. " Blogger Magic " emphasises how easy it is, to use Blogger. How easy is it, to remember that syntax - to add a label link? Maybe, a " Blogger Magic " reference, in this post?
