Today, I'm officially launching Blogger-HAT-Lite - a modern blog wherever I share quick comments around changes in merchandise other than blogger, which I think Bloggers may well be interested in, or absolutely need to know around.
All Blogger-hints-and-tips readers are invited to visit the locate, subscribe by RSS or subscribe to by email.
Extra than truly thrill ...
Blogger-HAT-Lite is not around repeating brigth-and-breezy announcements from other services.
Instead, it aims to:
Filter these, so to facilitate single ones with (possible) implications representing Blogger users are reported
Suggest questions to facilitate need to be asked and issues to facilitate need delve into around the effect on Blogger integration
Link to in sequence around interrelated topics - especially ones to facilitate converse around cost to facilitate the fill with making the real thing changes may well not own notion around.
... but less than fully-researched articles
It was furthermore a test-bed representing tools like Analytics to facilitate I wanted to consume on my foremost blog, but considered necessary to try elsewhere chief. After installing it, I notice to facilitate other fill with were looking representing the same answers - and what time they googled, my comments were come again? They found.
I quickly found to facilitate the for the most part appealing topics were around making Blogger "play nicely" with other products, sooner than Blogger itself. At the same stage, I aimed to run through 15 minutes/day answering questions in the Blogger Help Forum - to say credit representing all the help I acknowledged what time I was getting happening.
Typing the same answers larger than and larger than got dull, and what time I found something modern soon after on to facilitate would own tainted a preceding answer, it wasn't feasible to discovery the earlier answers and renew them. So I happening script articles around things to facilitate fill with were asking representing help with, so I can truly link to the article from the debate.
So I happening researching and script longer articles with the background, solution and the wider cost (what will you distinguish? Come again? Look after your readers distinguish? Come again? Besides look after you need to think around?).
These articles can be converted into out-dated due to changes the other merchandise, to facilitate I might not notice. So I happening recital the endorsed announcements around Picasa, AdSense, Analytics, Gmail, Maps, et cetera - so to facilitate I knew come again? Was changing, and can think around the effect on my own blogs, and Blogger-Hints-and-Tips.
Right promptly, I own 230 latent article topics, and 130-ish articles to facilitate need updating representing the modern Blogger interface - truly as the collapse has eased and I own a full-time generation job. Simple math shows to facilitate I'm not departing to be able to put pen to paper articles to facilitate touch my delve into principles, in the stage promptly own. And I keep bearing in mind modern things to facilitate I'd would love to explore but know I won't comprehend around to.
So Blogger-HAT-LITE is:
- A interior representing quick comments around these issues
- A way to keep track of appealing things I distinguish,and
- A place to share interesting-but not-fully-researched updates with my readers.
What's covered:
