Blogger Finally Has A BlogRoll & More

Over the last several months Google's Blogger has been rolling out some great new tools that is putting them closer and closer to WordPad in features. Around the middle of February Google finally rolled out a post scheduling option for Blogger. Late last week Google announced that they have added a Blog List widget to the page elements available in the Layout of Blogger. The big improvement from using the Link List from the past is that Blog List uses RSS feeds instead of a simple link. This allows you to go beyond a simple blog roll and use the feeds to show update times, post titles, and snippets of articles.

Here is a basic list of the Blog List features courtesy of Google
  • Link to blogs, web pages, and feeds from your blog’s sidebar, with an optional favicon

  • For pages with RSS and Atom feeds, Blog List can show last updated time, post title, and a snippet of the latest post

  • Sort links alphabetically or by last update time

  • Show all links, or hide some behind a “show all” link

  • Import subscriptions from Google Reader

  • Blog List links are visible to search engine crawlers, so your blog’s and reputation flow to those you link to


later all and have a profitable and productive blogging day

    What the F Does the C Stand 4

    I know all of you have been waiting with baited breathe for my first contest. Well we are taking the plunge together. Here is the chance for all of you to win something for doing almost nothing. Hopefully you won't think this Contest is full of Sh-t . For many many years I have had the "nickname," I guess you could call it, of Cman. Here lately, probably due in part to #10 in my 10 Reasons John Chow Probably Thinks This Blog Is About Him article, I have been getting asked more and more what the C in Cman stands for. Herein lays the focus of this contest. For the person who can guess what the C in Cman stands for I will give them $100. If multiple people guess correctly the winner will be chosen by random drawing from among the correct entries. If no one guesses correctly I will randomly pick from all entries and will award the winner of the losers $20. Clarification: 1. In the words of Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez, "There can be only One." Winner that is. E...

    The Stripping Aristologist Contest Winner

    Well as you can see from the above screen capture the winning entry is #5. Heading over to the contest post and looking through the comments and the trackbacks I found that Anton of Link Right Contests was entry #5 with his guess of Julia Child. The actual answer was incorrect so he won the $50 but not the bonus prize. I was a bit generous to 2 entries that commented and entered but did not give the link. I had to search their blog to find the answer. There were several that commented and gave a link to their blog but I could not find a post about the contest or any links back to this blog. Anywho....Congrats to Anton and thank you all so much for reading and taking the time to interact with this blog and really make it what it is. Oh and Anton you might want to consider some kind of Contact Me link for your blog. Other than trackback to your post and a comment I have no way to contact you regarding your winning entry. Having a Contact Me is one of the first things any blogger should ...
