FAQ: How To Remove +1 From Share Icons

Image
NOTE: These instructions are for those that are using the newest template designer templates from Blogger. I can't guarantee that this will work with third party templates and/or other versions of the Blogger template (layouts or classic). At first I was going to leave the +1 icon in, but decided after learning more about it, that it wasn't something I wanted on my blog, even though I wanted the other "share" icons to remain. So yesterday, I started looking at the code and figured out how to get rid of just that icon and leave the rest functioning. First off, you need to go to the edit html page of your blog Design area. This will bring up the template code window for your blog. Make sure you make a back up of your template at this time by using the link provided on the page. This is just so you can revert back in case you delete more than you should while following these steps. Next, you need to click the check box near the top of the html window that says "ex...

FAQ: What Is My Blog's Feed URL?

In order to subscribe to a blog's feed you need to know the blog's feed URL. A feed is a data format used for providing users with frequently updated content. Content distributors syndicate a web feed, thereby allowing users to subscribe to it. It gives users a way to keep up with many sites on the web without having to visit each site individually to see if they have updated. Some users use their feed to check that their own blog is publishing correctly. The feed urls for blogs on Blogger are: http:// yourblogname .blogspot.com/feeds/posts/full http:// yourblogname .blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss Users should substitute their blog's name in for the bolded area in the URLs above.

FAQ: How Do I Find Other Blogs on Blogger?

Google's Blog search engine is a great tool. It not only has blogs from Blogger but blogs from all over the web. You can use it just like you would any other search engine but the results will be limited to blogs. http://blogsearch.google.com/ You can also use the "interests" links inside an individual blogger's profile to find other users on Blogger that have the same word in their profile "interests" Another way is just connecting to other bloggers through the blogrolls and links of bloggers you already enjoy reading. Usually if you like their content and they like someone else's, you might like that someone else's too. Mishka Official Blog*Star Testing Blogger
