How to use Blogger for ex360 peeps

A few people are very new to Blogger and it can be tricky after using 360 for so long its not that its difficult just different
Here are a couple of things that may help with keeping in touch with your friends on 360 and adding a few things to your page

Log in to your Blogger dashboard, you will see a few things there possibly not as many as this yet but the "edit profile" and "layout" options will be there for your own blog page
To edit your Blogger profile click umm "edit profile" fairly simple that one hehehe
And for the look of your page and to add things to your template click "Layout"


Click Layout then Template the page elements page will come up, yours will look a lot neater than mine though

Click on edit links to place your friends blog page URL or any other URL in your links section on the side of your Blogger page, you may have to activate or add a links section do that by clicking "add page element"



Add your picture with a URL , which means the picture must be on Photobucket or Flickr


To subscribe click on one of the "add too" buttons on a friends page or the "Atom" link at the bottom of the page



Or If you use Firefox click the RSS button on the toolbar



The blogs you have subscribed to will them come up in your reader I use Google but you can use your My Yahoo or any other feed reader you want
You can also paste a link in where it says "add subscription" to get updates from your friends pages



Oh and if you want those fancy tiny buttons and the "how many are subscribed" clicklet go to Feedburner make an account put your RSS feed in for your blog (the Atom one at the bottom) and you can make the fancy animated feed readers and grab the little "add me" buttons Feedburner gives you all the codes, in fact it can even add them to your blog page for you

This is a fairly simple "How too" on using Blogger if you have any questions ask,
I might even do another one like date change ..no wait that's easy click "Post options" and change the date of posting(month/day/year) that way if you bring over any posts from 360 you can post them on the original post date

and if you look real close you can see who I've got in my reader LoL

That's one thing about Blogger no one knows who you read and there's no obligation to comment because you don't have a friends list

Oh a lot of other things give you codes to put on Blogger too that's why my link list is in a scroller got that much other stuff on here my page was getting way too big

You know what this post reminds me of? YOU back 2 years ago in the beginning days of 360. You were always so helpful, and such the pioneer to the dumb-masses like me that came to your page. You're like an oasis of knowledge... never afraid to explore and try all the whistles and bells... and then share them with us. Bless you, Missy Fran! XOXOX

At least I don't have to do them for Multiply its got heaps of tutorial pages already, well Blogger has as well but if you are new its overwhelming
I shut 360 Angel down you know kept the posts and they are still there (think I've only ever deleted 3 posts on 360)we will see if the transfer works she might reappear under a different name
