Two new gadgets to make your blog better with Google+
April 03, 2012
Imagine being able to share your blog with like-minded people across the web. Today we’ve made doing that easier with the introduction of two Google+ gadgets, the
+1 button
and Google+ Badge.
Unlike the +1 button that can appear below a post, this gadget is specific to your blog. Displaying it on your blog will allow visitors to endorse your blog and share it with their friends.
+1 button for blog
If you’re wondering what a +1 means, think of it as a public stamp of approval from your readers. As soon as someone clicks on the +1 button next to your blog, they’ll also have the option to share it with their friends, contacts, or the rest of the web.
+1s from your readers will appear to people in their circles whenever your blog shows up in Google search results. Here’s an example:
We’re also introducing the
Google+ badge
gadget,
which allows you to connect your blog to your
personal profile
or your
Google+ page
on Google+.
Adding the badge to your blog helps you connect with friends, fans, and customers.
It
enables your readers to add you, or your blog to their
circles
and follow your blog posts on Google+.
If you are happy to blog under your real name, people can follow your
stream
on Google+. If you prefer to blog under a
nickname
or an established pseudonym, you can create a
Google+ Page
to represent your blog.
Bloggers who wish to remain anonymous should continue to blog as usual.
To add these gadgets to your blog, select "Add a Gadget" from the "Layout" tab of Blogger, and select them from the list of gadgets under "Basics". You'll need to copy your Google+ ID (personal or Page) to configure the brand badge gadget for your blog.
Add the +1 and Google+ brand badge gadgets to your blog today to grow and engage your audience.

Moving to the New Blogger Interface
April 02, 2012
Last September, we introduced a new user interface that makes it easier to find what you need and focus on writing great blog posts. Since then, we’ve implemented a number of updates and improvements based on your feedback.
In the coming weeks, we will change the default interface for those of you still using the old version, and bring the advantages of Blogger’s improved interface to everyone. If you are already on the new interface, there will be no change.
If you have been using the old interface, give the new look a try today by clicking “Upgrade Now” at the top of the page. This is, of course, a free upgrade and all major features are present in the new interface. You can still temporarily switch back to the old interface by clicking the “Old Blogger interface” link located in settings, but not for much longer.
We recommend that anyone currently using the old interface switch to the new one, as all accounts will be permanently upgraded very soon.
When you switch to the new interface, you'll find a number of new features that we've released recently, including:
Integration with Google+
Dynamic Views
Search engine preferences
To help you get a better sense of what’s changed and how to navigate the new interface, check out the short video below or read the friendly guide “
Using our upgraded interface
”.
We hope you enjoy the new interface and welcome your thoughts about the new look. If you have suggestions or feedback, sign in to Blogger and click “Send Feedback” at the bottom right of the screen.
