What's This?
This is a wiki that lists user-authored hacks & modifications for Google's Blogger.
Why?
Although it is a great option for free blog hosting, there are some significant structural issues with Blogger, most obviously that users are not able to categorise posts, and that there is no native / inbuilt trackback. Many users have developed workarounds for these, & we're bringing them to you in Wiki format for maximum interactivity and comparability.
How is the Wiki organised?

Isn't this just an extension of FreshBlog?
No. While FreshBlog's hack reporting is a big part of our history, the hacks here have been contributed by many people, some who are not even readers of FreshBlog.
Who Are You People?
Initially, we are John & Greg from Freshblog, Stephen from the Singpolyma Tech Blog, and Julie from No Fancy Name. We are just a few of the Blogger users who have developed tools to extend the service. We selected a Wiki format for this information to share it as widely as possible, and to make it easy for everyone to contribute. Please join the community!
