The latest tips and news from the Blogger team
Socialize and grow your blog with Google+
July 30, 2012
Blogger lets you share your thoughts, grow your readership, and engage with your audience. But we want to make Blogger even better by letting you tap into the growing
Google+
community. Today, we’re adding a new “Google+” tab in the Blogger dashboard, so you now have a central place to start growing your blog with Google+. This means you can now:
Connect your blog to a Google+ profile or page
If you blog under your own name, you’ve
already
been able to associate your blog with your personal Google+ profile. Starting today, you can now connect your blog to a Google+ page for your brand, business or organization.
Notify followers when you publish, and let them recommend your content
Each time you post on your blog, we'll show you a Google+ share box to let you notify followers that you have new blog content.
If they like what you share, followers can +1 or reshare your post to their own friends on Google+. This
ripple effect
exposes links to your content to a wider audience.
Build enduring connections with your audience
Adding the
Google+ gadget
to your blog makes it easy for people to add your profile or page to their circles when they like something you’ve published. Forming connections with readers that last after they've left your blog is essential.
To get started, click the “Google+” tab in the Blogger dashboard and then the “Upgrade” button. If you’ve already upgraded to Google+, we’ll help you associate your blog with your profile or page.
We'll be introducing more settings on this tab in the future, so stay tuned for additional ways to
get more out of Blogger with Google+
. If you have questions,
you can learn more in our
Help Center

Customize your posts with permalinks
July 17, 2012
Earlier this year we introduced a suite of new
SEO features
that help ensure your blog, posts, and images are accurately indexed so they appear correctly in search results. Today we’re happy to introduce another feature that enables you to more effectively customize your search preferences - custom permalinks.
When you write a post, Blogger automatically generates a permalink based on the title of the post. Until now, blog authors have had no control of the permalink. Custom permalinks give you more control of your blog and posts. These new custom links also provide readers with more information about your post when scanning search results.
If you prefer to use a custom permalink, you can do so via the “Permalink” option in the Post Settings box.
To create your own URL for a specific post, simply select “Custom URL”, and enter your new URL in the field below. If you wrote the post in June of 2012, your new URL will look like this:
www.nameofblog.blogspot.com/2012/06/
customURL
.html
The bolded area is the portion of the URL that is customizable.
If the custom permalink you entered already exists, Blogger will attempt find a free one for you.
At present, the characters allowed in a custom URL are limited to: a-z, A-Z, 0-1. The only special characters available are underscore, dash, and period.

Happy blogging!
