Bringing Google+ Comments to Blogger



Posted:

Reading
 and responding to comments can be one of the most rewarding aspects of 
blogging. Not only do they help you connect with your readers, they can 
also inspire later blog entries. The challenge, oftentimes, is following
 all the conversations around your content—on Google+, for instance, as well as on your website. So we're making things a lot simpler.





Starting
 today, you can bring Google+ Comments to your Blogger blog. Once you've
 enabled the feature through your Blogger Dashboard, you'll enjoy a 
number of important benefits:



View your blog and Google+ comments, all in one place




Now
 when you're browsing your blog's comment threads, you'll see activity 
from direct visitors, and from people talking about your content on 
Google+. For example, if there's a public Google+ discussion about one 
of your blog entries, those comments and replies will also appear on 
your Blogger blog. This way you can engage with more of your readers, 
all in one place.



Help readers comment and connect with their circles




Your
 blog readers will now have the option to comment publicly, or privately
 to their circles on Google+. And when they're browsing blog comments, 
they can view all of them, just the top ones, or only those from the 
people in their circles.

In
 all cases, you and your readers will only see the comments you have 
permission to see. Giving people these kinds of controls not only 
encourages more meaningful sharing—it can lead to more blog traffic.












To
 get started with Google+ Comments, just visit the Google+ tab of your 
Blogger Dashboard, and check “Use Google+ Comments.” (Older comments 
will continue to appear in the new widget.)

You can also visit any post on the Official Google Blog (like this one), or on Blogger Buzz (like this one), to see Google+ Comments in action.





Happy commenting!

Improvements to the Blogger template HTML editor



Posted:
April 09, 2013










Posted by: +Samantha Schaffer&nbsp;and +Renee Kwang,&nbsp;Software Engineer Interns.

Whether you’re a web developer who builds blog templates for a living, 
or a web-savvy blog owner who prefers to make changes to your template 
using HTML, CSS or JavaScript, you may be interested in some 
enhancements that we made to Blogger’s Template HTML Editor.

Your blog’s HTML template is the source code that controls the 
appearance of your blog. This template can be customized to appear 
however you’d like. The improved HTML template editor now supports line 
numbering, syntax highlighting, auto-indentation and code folding to 
make editing your template much easier.

Suppose we wanted to move the date of a blog post underneath the post title, similar to the Blogger Buzz blog. To do this, follow these steps:


Click the “Template” tab on the Blogger dashboard, then the “Edit HTML” button, to see the new template HTML editor:




Locate the “Blog1” widget quickly using the new “Jump to widget” drop down:


This widget controls how your blog posts are displayed. The code inside 
the widget is folded by default. Clicking the new fold markers ‘►’ next 
to the line numbers expands the widget and reveals a set of “includable”
 tags:


Inside the “main” includable is the block of code that renders the post date:


Cut the post date code section and move it to where we want it, in this case, under the post title in the “post” includable:


To check our changes, click the new “Preview template” button to see the updates:


The post date is exactly where we want it, so tab back to “Edit template”, hit “Save template” and we’re done!

Finally, we’ve added a “Format template” button that automatically 
cleans up the indentation of the template, and made it possible to 
search for text by pressing “Ctrl+F” once you’ve clicked into the 
editor. To find and replace text occurrences one by one, use 
“Ctrl+Shift+F” or to find and replace all occurrences at once, use 
“Ctrl+Shift+R”.

&nbsp; 
We worked on this project as part of Google Australia’s BOLD Diversity Internship Program. We hope you enjoy the changes we’ve made!

Mention people in your posts with Google+



Posted:
December 18, 2012











Posted by +Malte Ubl, Software Engineer

Blogs
 are a great way to spark a conversation, and today we’re giving you a 
new way to grab someone’s attention: Google+ mentions in Blogger. &nbsp;Now 
you can add a link to a Google+ profile or page when you want to mention
 someone in a post. If you then share your post from Blogger to Google+, we make it easier to notify your mentions by including them in the sharebox. To mention someone, just type “+” before their name while you’re using the Blogger post editor.





The
 profile or page will show up as a link in your published post. 
&nbsp;Hovering over will show a card with more info and an ‘Add to circles’ 
button. Clicking the link takes you straight to the Google+ profile or 
page.
So, whether you want to credit a co-author (thanks +Gregory Fair!), ask a question, or just kick off a dialogue, connect your blog to Google+ and try mentioning someone in your next post!
