Turning the RSS feed off or on again

By default, public Blogger sites offer an RSS feed.  But there may be times when you need to turn it off, either for good or temporarily.

RSS and Blogger

Previously I've explained what RSS is and why it's important for bloggers.

But there may be times when you want to turn off your RSS feed, either because you don't want to offer one at all, or because you want to make some posts, or changes to existing posts that are not notified to  your RSS subscribers.

Or you may need to turn it back on again - for example, if you want to use a dynamic template, to offer a subscribe-by-email option, or to enable automatic posting to Google +.



How turn off a blog's RSS feed:

In post-Sept 2011 Blogger (aka the new interface):
  • Go to the Settings > Other tab.
  • Under "Site Feed", use the drop-down to change Allow Blog Feed to "None".  
    (This is the only option that totally turns your feed off:  the others, including Custom, leave some aspects of the feed on.)



In pre-Sept 2011 Blogger (aka the old interface):
  • Go to the Settings > Site Feed tab.
  • Beside Allow Blog Feeds, use the drop-down to change the value to "None". 
    (This is the only option that totally turns your feed off:  the others, including Custom, leave some aspects of the feed on.)



How turn on your RSS feed:

This is just the same as turning the feed off (see above), except that your need to choose one of these options instead:

  • Full - the whole post is shown in your feed
  • Until Jump Break  - only the part of the post before the jump break is sent to your feed
  • Short - only the first 120 (ish) letters, or less if the jump break comes first, are sent to your feed.

Also, the new interface has a Custom option, and the old interface has an Advanced Mode.   If you use these , you can individually set the value for post feed, comments feed (all comments), and comments-feed-per-post.


Private blogs 
Blogs that are not public do not offer RSS feeds, because they cannot be secured.   So if your blog is private, then it does not matter what setting you choose, your blog will not offer an RSS feed.

mail2Post: Using email to update your blog

Blogger's mail2Post tool lets authors make blog-posts, without using the Blogger software.   All you need to do is set it up, and write posts using your regular email tools.

Mail2Post and Blogger. 

The mail2Post feature, sometimes known as Post-to-profile, is a way of putting content on your blog without using the full Blogger software for writing the post.

It's not quite as good as using Blogger itself - there are a few features missing - but it is good enough in many situations.



How to set up mail2Post

Log in to Blogger with the Google account that you want to have mail2Post rights to your blog:  this account needs to already be set up as an author for the the blog.

Go to
  • The Settings tab - if you are logged on with an author account, or
  • The Settings > Mobile & Email tab if you are using an administrator account  
    (The tab is called Settings > Email & Mobile in the old Blogger interface.)

Beside Posting using email (or Email Posting Address in the old Blogger interface), there is a place where you can enter some "secretWords", to make up an email address that you can use to post to your blog.

Enter some suitable words:  make sure it's not too easy to guess (your surname would not be a good choice!), so that spammers cannot get into it:


Choose either to publish emailed updates as soon as they arrive, or to save email as drafts so that you,  or another administrator, can review them before posting.

Note down the full email address, ie   NAME.your-secret-words@blogger.com   (you will need this later - and unfortunately because of the way it's displayed, it is not easy to copy-and-paste the value).

Press Save (old interface) or Save Settings (new interface).


Using the mail2Post address:

Once mail2Post is set up, anyone who sends an email message to the email address you copied can post to your blog, with what ever restrictions you set.

You might put message on your blog saying
 "send contributions to YOURNAME.YOURSECRETWORDS@blogger.com"
But be aware that this could generate a lot of spam.   And in the worse case, the spam could get your blog deleted for breaking Blogger's terms and conditions.

Alternatively, you might just tell the address to selected people - or perhaps even just use it yourself.


How is a Post constructed from an email message:

When a message is sent to your mail2Post address:
  • The subject-line of your email message becomes the Post-title
  • The body of the email message becomes the body of the post
  • I think:  If you automatically publish emailed posts, then the post date-and-time is the moment at which Blogger's servers received the incoming email message - expressed in Blogger's default time zone (PST OR PDT, I think).
  • No labels are applied to the post
  • The post-author is the profile name of the blog-author who set up the mail2Post address.

Pictures and Videos
People have reported various results when they include images and videos inside messages sent via mail2Post.   Personally, I have tested:
  • An attached picture - posted ok, the image is show before all the text from the body of the email message
  • An attached video file (4meg) - posted ok with the video appearing to be above the text from the email message
  • An in-line photo - worked perfectly, the picture is placed in the post in the same position (relative to the text) that it was in the original email.

I suspect that the results  depend on they type of picture, the email client you are using, and the message format settings.   My testing was with Mozilla Thunderbird, which has a particular way of thinking about "attachments", slightly different from other email systems that I have used (eg Microsoft Outlook).

Probably the only way to discover how photos are handled when you use your email to send them is to set up a test-blog and experiment with different options.


What your readers see:

People who read your blog in a web-browser see mail2Post entries just like any other posts.   If your blog displays the poster's name, then mail2Post entries have the name of the blog-author who set up the mail2Post address.

As mentioned before, the positioning of pictures and videos may not always be as good:  attached pictures, in particular, may be shown as the very stop of the post.

Apart from that, there is nothing to show visitors that the post was created using email - in either the post or in the blog's RSS feed.

Setting up a new Administrator for your blog

This article shows you how to set up someone else (ie another Google account) as an administrator for your blog.

What is a blog administrator 

Wikipe-tan moppingAn administrator is a Google account (controlled by a person!) that has full rights over your blog: they can do anything that you can do, including write posts, edit anyone else's posts, change the template, add gadgets and formatting rules.   Also they can grant and remove author and administrator rights.

This last point is very important: if you add someone as an administrator, then they immediately have the power to remove you as an administrator. This means that you need to be very careful who you give these rights to.

How to give someone administrator rights

Firstly, give them author rights.
To do this, you may need to log in as the other person, or to wait for them to accept the invitation themselves. If you log in as them, then make sure that you either:
  • Use two computers,
  • Use separate browsers on the same computer (eg Firefox and Chrome, or Internet Explorer and Safari), OR
  • At least clear your cache and restart your browser between each login.

Then upgrade them by logging in to Blogger as yourself (ie with an account that has administrator rights already).

Pre-Sept-2011-Blogger (ie the old interface):
  • Go to the dashboard, Settings > Permissions tab.
  • Every account that has accepted an invitation to be an author will be listed. Choose the one want to make into an administrator, and click the Grant admin privliges link  to the right of their email address.  
  • Click Grant admin privileges button on the confirmation screen

Post-Sept-2011-Blogger (ie the new interface):
  • Go to the dashboard ("home" button), Settings > Basic tab.
  • Scroll down to the Permissions area. 
  • Every account that has accepted an invitation to be an author will be listed. Choose the one want to make into an administrator, and choose Admin using the drop-down arrow to the right of their email address.   (Note:  this is an immediate change, you do not have to click Save.)

Note that there are also options here for removing administrator rights, and removing author rights too.


Very important:
 If you are doing this before removing your own administrator rights, eg as part of transferring a blog from one account to another, then it is very important make sure that the transfer has been successful before removing yourself: you do not want to be in a situation where your own account is no longer an administrator, but you don't have access to the actual administrator account.

As before, ways of doing this include
  • Using two different computers,
  • Use separate browsers on the same computer (eg Firefox and Chrome, or Internet Explorer and Safari), OR
  • At least clear your cache and restart your browser between each login.


Other things to consider

Comment moderation:
Only blog-administrators can moderate comments, so you may need to:
  • Set up comment notification so that the new administrator is emailed when a comment is left
  • Make sure that they know the policies that are applied to comments
  • Agree who is responsible for moderation at what times

Custom domain administration:
If you have a custom domain, and the new administrator may need to be involved with this, then you need to tell them about the domain-administrator account that you set up after purchasing the domain.

Or if you are using a domain from an external domain registration company, they may need some other information about how to manage the domain.


Other blog settings:
Because an administrator has full control over the blog, they can do a number of things including:
  • Editing posts made by other authors
  • Change the template, layout or gadgets
  • Edit any of the blog's Pages
  • Granting and revoking other people's permissions
  • Change the default language and date/time settings 
  • Changing the RSS feed settings in any way
  • Edit the Adult-content warning setting, or the blog's Open-ID URL.
You may need to agree how changes like this are to be done on your blog - including ensuring that backups are stored safely.

Jeep Compass

CompassNosso mercado de carros está se abrindo cada vez mais a novas categorias. Se há vinte anos só existiam as básicas, com o tempo o resto do mundo diversificou seus produtos para vender mais, e bastou começar a trazê-los para cá que os pioneiros formaram nichos de mercado, e depois chegaram a formar outros segmentos. É o caso dos SUVs ao redor dos R$ 100 mil, faixa que a Chrysler pretende ocupar ao trazer o compacto Compass, recentemente re-estilizado nos EUA e com início de vendas previsto para fevereiro.

Seu estilo é típico Jeep, desde a grade própria até o próprio desenho do modelo, que oferece linhas retas e com aparência de volume para indicar imponência e robustez, mas sem deixar de lado que os tempos mais modernos pedem acessórios que denotem certa esportividade, como as belas rodas de cinco raios que traz. O interior apresenta estilo condizente, com pacote de equipamentos que tem tudo para fazer bela concorrência a modelos como Chevrolet Captiva, Kia Sportage, Hyundai ix35, Mitubishi ASX, Peugeot 3008, Honda CR-V e Toyota RAV-4. Tantos rivais indicam como esse estilo de carros já se popularizou no país.

Jeep CompassPor outro lado, também é possível indagar o possível canibalismo de vendas que se pode produzir em relação ao Dodge Journey, e consequentemente ao Fiat Freemont. No entanto, essa questão não deve causar muitas preocupações porque o Freemont atua numa faixa de preço menor, enquanto o Journey se vale do seu excelente conjunto mecânico de 280 cv, ante o 2.0 de 156 cv do Compass, acompanhado de câmbio CVT.

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster

SLSO que pode ser mais irresistível que o roadster de um dos melhores superesportivos da atualidade chegar ao país? Junto com o C63, a Mercedes traz este outro AMG por salgados US$ 420 mil, com o belo visual acompanhado de uma lista de equipamentos bem extensa e um V8 aspirado de 571 cv com câmbio automático de sete marchas. Mas o charme se faz mesmo é pela capota de tecido, de acionamento automático mesmo com o veículo em movimento.

Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG

C63Pelo visto, a marca alemã quis terminar o ano com chave de ouro. Trouxe dois modelos ao país e anunciou um terceiro, todos da sua renomada divisão esportiva. O C63 é o mais pacato dos três, mas apenas por ser um sedã: seu visual re-estilizado com os adereços estéticos da AMG ficou indefectível. Condiz com seus intermináveis itens de série, e principalmente com o que carrega sob o capô: um V8 aspirado de 487 cv que leva de 0 a 100 km/h em 4s3. Custa US$ 226.500.

How long does it take your average blog-page to load?

If you use Google Analytics on your blog, then you can get data about how fast your pages(*) load. This is seen in the the Site Speed report which was turned on for all users in mid November

Analytics have now published more information about what it contains, too.

Blogger users can't control some of the items that are shown (redirection time, domain lookup time, server connection time, server response time) - although you may like to keep an eye on them if you are concerned about whether the Blogger platform is suitable your blog/website.

But we do have a lot of control over page(*) download time. This is impacted by the size of our posts (especially the picutres and videos), and by the widgets that we use.

How much difference  page-load speed makes to you and your visitors (how many pages they view, and how likely they are to come back) depends on your niche and how impatient they are.

As with lots of web-statistics, there are no hard-and-fast rules. I recommend keeping an eye out for change.

  • For example, if adding a widget adds one second to your average load time, but there is no change to visitor numbers or pages per visit, you probably don't have an issue.
  • But if it adds 0.5 seconds and pages/visitor decreases by 50%, you might need to think about whether the widget is worth it, or whether you need to do something like only display it on the home page.


(*) These "pages" are not the same as so-called "pages" in Blogger: read more about the difference. LINK

home_page = "http://24works.blogspot.com/";
and replace the blog address with your own blog address

By default, this widget is set to display a maximum of 5 recent posts. To change this number,
numposts = 5;
edit line in the code and replace the number 5 with the number of posts desired:

6. How to change thumbwidth & thumbheight
thumbwidth = 80;

thumbheight = 80;
Width and Height of the thumbnail (default are good)
