PE5 – Blogger Essential Training (2004)







After watching the more the advanced videos about Blogger at www.Lynda.com from 2004, I compared the options and how far they have come. Next I decided to play with some of the features.

Templates
I looked around at all of the template options for editing color, font and more. I changed a few things on my own template. After saving the changes, the changes took effect throughout the entire blog. Nice feature!


Team Blogging

Adding administrators/members would be essential to using Blogger as a team tool in the classroom. The students could comment to the blog posts to include their experience in the conversation while not having full permissions to create posts freely. After each school year the students member status could be removed, yet leaving their information and comments.


Delete / Import / Export

Deleting a blog, importing from another blog and exporting. These features are wonderful as I’d hate to delete a blog. I have 20 or more. I didn’t want to delete my old ones, but I needed the information. Now I know I can export, import, then delete my old blogs. I created these blogs link to my main blog as another page to my blog. Now I can create additional pages instead of linking.


I did not complete the training. It is very outdated, but I appreciate it being there in order to get my mind working about possibilities.


Audioblogger.com

There was an audioblogger.com option. It was removed November 1, 2006. I would have liked to use it. You could call a unique phone number to leave an audio post to your blog. Sigh. At least now you can text, email and use rss feeds.


Help

The help files are much different, but are ten times better.
