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...

    Win $50! With The Stripping Aristologist - Contest

    NOTE: Due to personal illness I have not been available and therefore have extended the contest through October 31st @ 4:00 PM CST. Well the September Contest is finally here. I have been pretty much MIA for a little over a week to take care of some offline "stuff." By the way, it is nigh on impossible to blog by cell phone. I am back now though and getting into the groove again and felt like giving something away! The contest rules are simple. Of course I can't make them totally idiot proof, last month proved that :), because there will always be some "brilliant" idiot that makes it through all the idiot proofing in place. That said here it is. Oh and read everything before doing anything :) . The Contest Guess my favorite Gourmet Chef . You don't even have to be right to win! I have been asked many times why I sometimes blog about Boca Java Coffee , La Cense Beef , and Dale and Thomas Popcorn as Seen on Rachel Ray! . Well it is for two reasons. One, as ...
