All you need to do is add the following CSS to your template under edit
HTML. You need to put in anywhere in your template between the <style> tags.
#navbar-iframe { height:0px; visibility:hidden; display:none; }
2. Use Feedburner
Feedburner lets you "burn your feed" and add feed flare. Before they
were a Google company they were awesome but now that they are a part of
the Google they are even better. I use Feedburner for feed statistics,
monitoring users subscriptions, managing our daily email blast list and
adding feed flare enhancements to your feed. This is a MUST do for any
blog. Almost a no brainer. Blogger lets you specify your Feedburner
information in their 'Site Feed' tab inside your dashboard. Once there
you will see a place to plug in your Feedburners URL.
3.Use a real domain name instead of blogger's default naming conventions
In the beginning before we knew any better we though using a free
service like Blogger meant being locked into certain things like the
sub-domain name off of Blogspot. Google lets you "Brand" your blog and
link up a real domain name to forward to your Blogspot address. But they
did one better and redirect their address's to yours. So even if you
type in http://askTheAdmin.blogspot.com you will wind up at
http://www.askTheAdmin.com! Sweet.
4.Add Instant Messaging to your Blogger blog.
Want to chat with your users real time? I added Plugoo to my site,
linked it up with my AIM account and I am in constant contact with users
looking for help or just wanting to say what's up. This is not for
everyone but I found it so cool I now turn my AOL IM mobile when I am
AFK and my IM's hit me via Text message on my Smart Phone.
5. Update you blog daily and have quality content.
And the last but certainly not least Blogger tip/hack is not a hack at
all but a piece of advice . Update your blog on a daily basis. Because
that is all the readers want now isn't it? Would you read your own site
- if it wasn't yours?? If your answer is no, then you got some serious
re-thinking to do!
