Would you like a custom signature for each post?


Pin It

If you would like to create a custom signature for each post, then head over to A Little Unhinged who has done a useful post on how you go about it.  This is the link.  Thanks for the permission to refer to this, Gwen.

I haven't done this myself yet - I'm not sure yet if I want to.  As you know, I am a bit minimalist about my blog design.  It is all about the content, after all, isn't it??

PS  Another little tip - did you notice that the Pin it button is underneath the first image?  If you don't put the image first you will find that your post shows up in your followers' dashboards with only the Pin it button as the image - which isn't very attractive.

Pre-scheduling posts in Blogger for when you are busy



Pin It
Now, everyone might already do this but I have noticed occasions where posts are apologising for being late with regular events like linky parties.  You can avoid this by pre-scheduling your post ahead of time so that it will turn up at exactly the time you wanted.

When you are writing a post you will see the Post Settings sidebar at the right.  If you click on Schedule 2 options will come up.  Automatic and Set Date and Time.  If you click the button Set Date and Time you will be given a calendar to click for the date you want - and to change the time just click in that box and scroll to what you want - or type it in.  Don't forget to click done when you are finished.

And then you still have to click the big orange button at the top which will say Publish or Schedule!  Thanks to Kristina who pointed this out - easy to miss the last but most crucial step!
