Blogging Tips: Google Services Shut-Down: GFC? Google Reader?

So I am sure many of you Blogger users have heard that Google is "retiring" Google Friend Connect.  

Well that's NOT true. 

I am going to explain this to you all in details in this post, hoping to make it easier for you to understand.

Blogging Tips: Are you a "noreply" blogger?

Do you feel like no one ever replies to your comments/questions?

You do not receive any emails from your blogger friends, do you?

Do you always have to go back to the same blog posts to check if others have responded to you?

If you answer to the above questions is YES, you might be a "noreply" blogger. And you might want to fix that.

Buttons, Banners, and Designs

As an beginner  blogger, I am still sticking with Blogger because I am used to it and mainly I just do not want to change quite yet.  

But Blogger has quite a bit limitations on blog design, so I have to dig into the html coding!!!! YEA, not my cup of tea really, but I want my blog to look pretty so I have designed a few buttons, banners and such.  

I am sharing what I have designed and see if you all have ideas on what else to improve on.

* A little Tip* 

If you do add buttons and banners to your Blogger blog like I do, it's better to upload your images to Blogger and link them instead of using a third party image hosting site because Blogger loads images that are uploaded to Blogger much faster than third party sites.

Merging Blogs in Blogger

When I started blogging with Blogger, I started several blogs, each with a different focus, but as my blogs grew, I have too many blogs to maintain with my limited time (24 hours in a day isn't enough for the modern day women, right?!)

So I decided to merge blogs.  Repurpose DIY is one of my other blogs about repurposing household items, and since there aren't too many posts in that blog yet, it should be easy to merge them and not affect traffic too much.

Are you also thinking about merging blogs in Blogger? If so, I have for you a very easy tutorial to how to do it.

Hope you find this post useful.  I am not very savvy in web design, so I spend hours, days, and weeks researching online to tweak Blogger, and I intend to share what I have learned and found!
