===Cookies for peek-a-boo===
+
-
Remember the state of peek-a-boo comments in a cookie and maintain that state when the visitor next comes.  Doable, but probably take a bit.  Suggested at http://singpolyma-tech.blogspot.com/2006/10/comments-on-mainarchive-page-peek-boo.html#c116591239141648939

===Hide Posts From Homepage And Archive Pages===
+
-
 
+
-
I want to hide certain posts from the home page and the archive pages, but I still want to show the post on its own page. Eg:
+
-
 
+
-
Hide Post: MYBLOG.blogspot.com/
+
-
 
+
-
Hide Post: MYBLOG.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
+
-
 
+
-
Show Post: MYBLOG.blogspot.com/2007/01/POSTNAME.html
+
-
 
+
-
Also, I'd like to hide these certain posts from the RSS/Atom feed.
+
-
 
+
-
I don't know very much about how Blogger's special template markup works, but I saw some stuff that looks like it is possible to do if/then logic.
+
-
 
+
-
Maybe have if/then logic saying
+
-
 
+
-
    if on home page
+
-
        if post has label [name of hidden label]
+
-
            then don't show post
+
-
 
+
-
I think that may be possible but I'm not sure just how.
+
-
 
+
-
===Have The Last Word===
+
-
As a blogger, I welcome a large number of comments on my controversial posts. Being opinionated, I like to have the last word too. While I monitor discussions, keeping track of whether or not each post is "open" (ie I haven't had the final say) is difficult.
+
-
 
+
-
I'd like a tool that will provide me with a list of my posts that have comments where the last one wasn't written by me, along with the contents of the last comment and a link to the appropriate comment editing page for that post.
+
-
 
+
-
I imagine I could go to a page, enter a URL and my blogger name, then click a button. The results page would consist of a list of links and comments. Dates might be nice too. It wouldn't need to be integrated into my blog, be very stylish or even reliable, since it's just a tool I could check periodically when feeling bored.
+
-
 
+
-
It might have an option to show only posts where I have commented but I am ''not'' the last commenter. This would be handy for blogs that I don't own, but comment on frequently.
+
-
 
+
-
The building blocks for such a solution might include:
+
-
 
+
-
* "My comments blog" (HTML) via [[Comment Feed Using Another Blog]]
+
-
* "My comments feed" (RSS) via above
+
-
* [http://www.ts0.com/bloggercomments/ Thom's] [[Comment Feed using remote parser]]

===Hide sidebar previous posts on some recent posts===
+
-
'''Description:'''
+
-
As I use the Blogger navigation in my sidebar myself a lot, so I have added the 'previous' Blogger template code to the main archive and both a 'previous' and 'recent'(using Social bookmarks javascript linkroll) section to item pages sidebars so I'm sure I can access all my posts easily.
+
-
 
+
-
'''Problem:'''
+
-
This works fine on old posts but on the first newer posts (item pages) they both show nearly the same links, so I would like to hide the 'recent' sidebar block, on say, the the first 3 new posts.
+

===Merge blogs===
+
-
Basically, I have 6 personal blogs on my Blogger dashboard. That's because I wanted categorization before Blogger Beta introduced labels. For a number of reasons, I want to merge my blogs into one. If there is a way to import all the posts from one blog into another, that would be an ideal solution. Please advise or create a hack to do this, thanks in advance. My blog is here at [http://www.shan.ca.tf www.Shan.ca.tf]

===Blogsend: No Linkback to Main Blog===
+
-
I have a [http://usurpingivy.blogspot.com Blogger Blog] that I've been updating since the Dawn of time, but my friends are all on LiveJournal.  Using the Blogsend function, I'm able to update the [http://usurpingivylj.livejournal.com LiveJournal] without actually ever stepping foot on LJ, BUT the issue becomes that BlogSend automatically adds a footer with a linkback to the main Blog.  I need to figure out a way to circumvent that, for privacy reasons on my main blog and to protect my guestbloggers.  Any ideas?  Thanks!!

===Tag Hack for Qumana ===
+
-
I want to use Qumana for my post editing for Blogger. It works much better with Blogger than Performancing. But I want to change the tagging option from Technocratii to RawSugar (as exists with the great BlogThis/Tag hack.)
+
-
 
+
-
My guess it's a simple business of changing the urlsoemnwhere in the Qunama script. Where? How?

===Way to Add The Digg Button To a Beta Blogger Blog Hack===
+
-
This [http://diggbutton.blogspot.com/ tutorial] for the digg button for a blogger blog doesn't work in the new beta blogger. I would appreciate it if someone made a digg button code for the new beta blogger. If you'd liek to know what kind of template I use, if that will help you, check [http://allaboutadsense.blogspot.com/ All About Google Adsense].Thank You in advance.

===Specify the Number of Labels Displayed===
+
-
I recently switched to Blogger Beta and have edited all my posts to remove technorati tags and add labels.  This, however, generated a very long list of labels in my sidebar.  I would like to be able to specify how many labels I want displayed, such as the top ten for instance.
+
-
 
+
-
I have looked at Hackosphere, phydeaux3, and Hoctor's Place.  All of the code there, however, does a lot more than I need.  So I was hoping there would be a simpler hack for this.

My blog is located at http://mentisworks.blogspot.com, and thank you very much in advance!

* The inbuilt Labels widget in Blogger has an option to limit the number of labels being displayed. Is that what you're looking for? --[[User:Adityavm|Aditya]] 04:04, 17 January 2007 (EST)

===Archives: drop-down menu with titles===
+
-
I can't find a way to make the blogger(beta) drop-down menu show titles of the post, instead of the date. I think it'd be extremely helpful, especially for blogs which are not updated very often.
+
-
 
+
-
Or maybe do you have an idea how to make this a stand-alone widget? Probably using the site's feed?

===Chronological order of posts (Blogger/Blogspot)===
+
-
 
+
-
Hello together,
+
-
 
+
-
first off i'd like thank everybody who has put his/her effort into this wiki in order to have a platform for hacks and new ideas...
+
-
 
+
-
Ever since i started blogging i wanted to have the possibility to reverse the order in which the posts appear on my blog's mainpage. And please don't get me wrong, I'm well aware of the very nature of a blog and therefore having all the new stuff on top.
+
-
 
+
-
BUT: I'm running a team blog with a handful of friends and we're often posting stories in sequence or referencing things that one of our members was writing in the past...
+
-
 
+
-
So the problem is, when one hasn't checked in to read the latest stories for quite a while, he looses the context and must read the older posts first to understand the current ones.
+
-
 
+
-
Before we migrated to the new version of Blogger we had a solution based on this hack: [http://www.inventric.com/blog/2004/12/change-order-of-blogger-posts.html]
+
-
 
+
-
A quick look into the new widget-model and XML-stuff of the new Blogger system revealed the total incompatibility of this hack.
+
-
 
+
-
'''So the question is, does anybody know how to realise this along with the new Blogger or at least know how the looping of the posts inside that post widget works?'''

===Comments on archive pages (Blogger/Blogspot)===
+
-
Hello together,
+
-
 
+
-
Is there a way to sort comments on archive pages with the newest one on top?

===Want to have differnt pages for main page and post pages===
+
-
Am using blogger classic right now. I want to have a diffent page for the main page of my blog and some other page for the inner pages ( the post pages of my blog).
+
-
Actually i dont want to display any adsense ad on the main page. I want ads to appear when some one reads my post page or archive page.
+
-
 
+
-
Example: Digital Inspiratiaon[http://labnol.blogspot.com]
+
-
In this blog there are no ads in the main page. But when you click the post tile,the post opens and there are ads in the post.
+
-
 
+
-
Please help me.
+
-
My blog is Technical Bliss[http://technicalbliss.blogspot.com]
+
-
I must remind you again that am using the old blogger.
+
-
If someone can help me, just leave a msg on my blog. I will be highly thankful.
+
-
 
+
-
* This has been done (not sure if it's in a way that works for the old Blogger, but I'll check).  I'll try to find it for you.  Please realise, however, that if I cannot find it you are not likely to find someone willing to create hacks for the old Blogger -- we've all moved ;)

===fixed blog index page (kind of a blog home page)  ===
+
-
'''Description:'''
+
-
i'm trying to make a blog for my phd research and i want to make it like a webpage but with the perks of the blogger. so i'd like to have a fixed intro page with a description of my research and then use the labels to divide the blog into relevant areas similar to a webpage. right now i've added the tab label hack from hackosphere.
+
-
 
+
-
'''Problem:'''
+
-
i just need a simple way to have one post permanently displayed when someone loads the blog and then they can click on the labels/tabs to see the rest of the blog like a webpage.

'''Solution'''
+
-
 
+
-
at least a possible solution.... Check out [http://blogfresh.blogspot.com/2006/08/expand-collapse-categories-with.html Caramuel's category hack]. This hack allows you to categorise your content, but also allows you to force the display of a given category when your main page loads.... So, put your intro / sticky post in its own category, then force that category to load as the default....
+
-
 
+
-
===Hide the labels field from the main page and post pages===
+
-
Labels are nice and all, but they take too much space off the main page and post pages. I still want to label my posts, but I don't want to display them after each post...
+
-
 
+
-
'''Solution'''
+
-
 
+
-
A possible solution courtesy of [http://basangpanaginip.blogspot.com/2006/09/how-to-fix-comment-count-grammar-in.html Michael] and [http://hoctro.blogspot.com/2006/09/tweaking-new-blogger-feeds-on-front.html Hoctro], both of whom have played with Blogger Beta's new "if / then" logic to create the conditional display of content on certain kinds of page. I'd recommend that you leave your labels on your post pages, so that readers can see how you've categorised a post, & follow the link to a category that they're interested in,... but hey, it's your blog! This will probably work w/ minimal customisation.
+
-
 
+
-
===Want Visitors List at bottom of each post, in Blogger Beta===
+
-
I'd like to have a list, at the end of each post, that gives the name of all the people who left a comment, and links that name to the website URL they left in the comment form.  You can see what I mean here: http://wystful1.blogspot.com/
+
-
At the end of each post is a 'Visitors List'.
+
-
 
+
-
Can someone tell me how to implement this for Blogger Beta?  Thanks.

* Commentor names / links to their comments would be entirely possible modding [http://singpolyma-tech.blogspot.com/2006/10/comments-on-mainarchive-page-peek-boo.html my peek-a-boo hack], commentor URL would require hugely more scraping (and may not be possible at all).  If anyone finds a way please let me know, though, it would be nice in my hack! - [[User:Singpolyma|Singpolyma]] 09:39, 7 November 2006 (EST)
