Blogging Tips--Resources for Blogger

One of the bonuses of joining Kim's Blog Improvement Project is meeting even more great book bloggers. People who commented on my first post for the project expressed an interest in the three-column footer I added to my own blog template, so I thought this might be a good opportunity to share one of the resources I've been referring to over and over.

Any of you who have a Blogger blog as I do might want to subscribe to Amanda's wonderful Blogger Buster. I think I've worn out the tabs for Widgets and Tutorials there! I'm just starting out with HMTL, so I'm not the brightest bulb in the chandelier. I needed someone to go to for help who gives step-by-step instructions in language that I can understand. Amanda has filled that role brilliantly. Then I started really looking through her blog and discovered a gold mine with tons of tips all in one place: her free eBook, The Blogger Template Book.


She covers so much in here: different styles of layout and blog design, how to install different types of Blogger templates, how to maintain your widgets when changing templates, how to speed up the load time of your blog, how to optimize it for search engines...and lots more!

This is where I learned how to install the three-column footer, to compartmentalize my header, and how to use one of my own photos as the background.

If you have as much to learn as I do about personalizing your blog, this is a fantastic resource.
