i don't know many of those, but for #6, you could recommend that your readers sign up with bloglines. that's who i keep track of the blogs i read so i don't have to keep checking to see if they've posted or not.
ReplyDeletei may know one or two others but chances are they won't hit me until the middle of the night (oh wait it already is) or in the shower or while driving to work, etc.
i've posted 13 too at

I have not learned anything yet. I've just tried playing around with my template in putting things on my sidebar and it works well.
ReplyDeleteMine is up too.
I too was flirting with the idea of a blogroll since I'm usually talking about beauty topics, and maybe there are others out there who have similar interests. Please post if you ever get it figured out!

I don't know many of those either. I don't even know how you get that auto linkie thingie where I signed in at the end of your post. I have seen quite a few of those. I know how to crash a template..lol
ReplyDeleteMy TT is up
If you EVER figure out the expanding blogroll thing... PLEASE contact me!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's all new and different to me too! It helps that I have a sister that will tell me what to do though! Happy Thursday. My list is up.
ReplyDeletei wish I could help. I can't do a lot of this myself.
ReplyDelete#4 - When you log into blogrolling. there should be a navigation on the left which has a New Blogroll link. Once you create the blogroll, it will be display andyou can add links etc. there will also be a link - get code. this will give you code for putting in your sidebar. This will display the blogroll.
ReplyDeleteI use WP and a lot of these are available as plugins... I assume Blogger also offers something similar
Hope those work out for you! I use sitemeter to track visits, but I'm not sure how that works with blogger, I have my own domain for my blog ;).
ReplyDeleteYou got Mr. Linky right! :-) Thanks for visiting FBO and my T13 - Bible Misquotes Edition.
ReplyDeleteI need some lessons from you for sure. I have learned a lot, but still need to know so much more! My list is up!
ReplyDeleteLofty goals! Some are do-able, some are not. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI struggle with the same problems. Fortunately I have very brilliant children that help me out. My TT is up.
ReplyDeleteJust put in to rent your blog. My thumbnail is a mess at present. Apparently blog explosion is having some problems with this. Check my blog out anyway. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to learn how to do a lot of these, as well. Unfortunately, I don't use Blogger and I don't know how to do most of these already, so I don't think I'd be of much help to you. Useless is probably a better word! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat list, mine is up too...
I don't think Categories are supported by Blogspot, except through del.icio.us
ReplyDeleteFind tips here
I've found lots of the things you are looking for by just putting in a search in Google.
Let's see if I can help as I redid my blog last week & learned a few new tricks.
ReplyDeleteFor the expandable blogrolls go here:
http://flooble.com/scripts/expand.php?op=get
plug in the blogroll code & it does the work for you. Just be sure you click the "Inital State" to be invisible. ;-)
I use www.bloglet.com as my subscription site.
Your blog header looked fine to me.
Blinkies; here is a lady who found a tutorial on how to do them; I haven't tried it yet so do let me know how it works out.

I hear a lot of people complain about music being automatically played on blogs they visit so I haven't decided if I want to try it or not. So I haven't taken the time to figure that one out yet. But when in doubt Google it. I did a Google on how to do the "snow effect" & after tinkering with it for a few hours; I replaced the snow gif to roses & got the effect I was looking for.
A friend helped me install www.statcounter.com so that's the one I use. It'll at least get you going until you find one you really like.
I hope that helped you out some. If you need help let me know; I'll see what I can do for you.
Thanks for dropping by my TT. Have a good one. :-)
I finally got my TT done. Family was over all day... couldn't blog! I think I need that 12 step program!!
ReplyDeleteI finally did my TT!
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing that there is so much to learn out there, isn't there? I agree about learning many of these...but I've also learned that I can have my 11 yo. son do them for me too much quicker!! Now, that's just sad, isn't it?? Enjoyed your list.
ReplyDeleteMy TT is up here
Hey I can help out with the expanding bit, see my blog and see under the thumbnail for the renter of the week, I also use bloglines for a twofold thing - my blogroll and to read them. For signing people up, head over to feedburner.com they are awesome and give you the choice of rss feeds or email subscriptions.....try haloscan for comments, and statcounter.com is good for stats!!
ReplyDeleteYou've got a huge list of things to learn... All the best. Happy learning.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind wishes & for visiting my site. I am much better today and taking things 1 day at a time...Please keep me in your prayers
Get the 12 step!
ReplyDeleteOr just stop. I'm starting to miss the sound of your voice. Or I can tell when your on the phone with me that you are typying to someone.
ahh, a post that asks all the questions that I've been wanting to ask! LOL, I work on my blog every night it seems like, and so far, I've googled A LOT!
