Blogger features

I’m going to list features of Blogger software as I learn about them. Here’s what I have so far:

  • No RSS feed allowed with restricted membership
  • Option for search engines to find blog
  • Option to add blog to Blogger’s listing
  • Option for Email notification of members
  • Option to schedule future posts
  • Option to upload pictures or videos, and to position them on the blog page

    Blogger.com (may be repeating some of what Nancy posted earlier):

    Interface – end user: relatively easy in terms of configuring colors, font, etc, but haven’t been able to figure out adding ISD logo and a title so that don’t overlap.

    RSS – YES (but if restrict to private IP addresses, then No)
    Preview Post – YES
    Categories – Postings allow for a Label to be added but can configure/show Labels with title edited to Categories (lables)?
    Ease of Use – relatively Easy/simple
    Can you limit by IP Range – and how affects RSS – YES but no RSS feeds
    Can moderate posts and comments – NO to posts (do we the
    administrators need to have our Posts moderated) and YES to comments
    Will they host – YES, free
    Link from short article to longer one: unable to determine this functionality – could it lie within HTML coding scheme?

    I keep trying to leave a comment that contains URLs and nothing shows up so I’m trying a comment without URLs.

    Okay–so this doesn’t like URLs. Some security setting?? Some way to code that I don’t know??

    Anyway–somebody has posted a hack to create categories in Blogger. It’s at

    Still won’t accept my link–is that because I’m not logged in?

    I don’t see a way to limit access by IP address. I only see a way to limit it to invited members and the limit is 10 members.

    You can moderate posts. You need to say yes to “Enable comment moderation?” under the settings tab.
