I have a cool new guide up if you’re interested in installing a random post button on your Blogger site. You’ve seen a similar function on regular websites, now you can have one on your blog. The credit for the Javascript goes to way2blogging, the rest of the setup was figured out by me. Other guides I have seen shows you how to put it in your sidebar and with more than one post, usually a list or random posts. This button just brings up one random post which is read from your site feed. Easy browsing for your visitors in an easy to see and click location.

If you want to see how it works, you can check it out at my website Laff Away, the button is just above the posts on every page.

Have you ever wondered what your Blogger blog looks like in mobile view and you don’t a have an internet capable phone handy? That’s easy, whatever your blogs URL is just add ?m=1 after the address in the address bar and hit Enter. It’s probably not very pretty! It doesn’t show your blog’s header image, just some text for the title unless you used a widget to insert an image.

Well, I have a new article up with step by step instructions that will show you just how to fix that issue and it’s not very hard, skill level needed is fairly low. You can check the article out here:

Set Up Blogger to Show Different Header Images for Normal and Mobile Views

I just put up a new help page on rounding off corners using only css. It’s supported in almost every browser except for Internet Explorer (of course) and pops out very easy to use code that works perfect every time!

In the past week and a half I’ve created 8 new Blogger templates and they are all free to use! Get your copy over at Free Blogger Skins.

The image on the left is a thumbnail of one of the new themes, click it for a larger view.

I’ve been real busy reworking all of my websites with new templates and restructuring them to bring them up to date. As you can see I just put in a whole new template here just today. And I plan on bringing more new free to use Blogger and eventually WordPress templates and tech help articles here as soon as possible.

So, keep checking back for new articles!

I’ve put up two new guides for Blogger XML skins. One is for making an easy backup copy of your source code for restoring your widgets after installing a new template. The other one is for the actual installation of an XML template from a file on your computer. You can check them out from the links below:
