Guide to blogger blog's setting

 

In this post, I am going to tell you about the blogger blog's setting. Using this setting option, you can change your blog details e.g Name, Description, Adult Only etc. So let's start



Note: Before I start this post, I want you to know that before you can customize your blog setting, you have to create a blog. Click here to know how to create a blog.
First of all, log in to your blogger blog. Once logged in, you should be able to see the three lines button. Click on the button to see a new menu open. Scroll down to the last if you are unable to see the setting option. Click the setting button. The first option to appear is title. The title is the name that appears on the top of your blog. Click on it to change it. Then click save to save that new name. The next option is the description. The description is like a tagline e.g Apple's tagline is Think Different. Description limit is a maximum of 500 characters and the minimum is 0. If you don't have a tagline already, no problem. Use oberlo tagline generator to generate one. Then comes blog language. You can change the blog language using this option. Next is adult content. If you have adult content on your website, check ☑ the "Show warning and "Requires age confirmation"  Option. Next is favicon. Using the favicon button, you can change the favicon icon. As per smallbusiness.chron.com, A favicon image is a small icon displayed to the left of a visited website's URL in a web browsers address bar. To change your website favicon icon, click the favicon button and choose file and click save. Your image should be only less than 100KB and should be square or circle (Png or Jpg). Then is the visible to search engines. If you want to hide your website from browsers, turn this option off. This option is turned on by default.
Then is the Publishing section. Blog address is the URL your users can type in a browser to directly come to your site. You can change the URL anytime but once you change it, you can't use the previous one or already used one. Custom domain is the domain you buy from a domain provider e.g Godaddy Etc. Https redirect means that your website should or should not use HTTPS. However, using HTTPS is recommended and turning this option off is only recommended when an expert ask you for it. Https is a safe protocol and secure your site. HTTP is not a secure protocol and hacking your site becomes easy without HTTPS. Blog admins and authors are the people who can change your blog setting and write posts on your blog. Type the email address of the person you want as an author or admin and once he accepts your invite, he is now an author. Using a dropdown menu, you can make him an admin or an author. When someone visits your site, a few posts are shown on the main home page. Then a next, loading more posts or older posts button appears if someone wants to read more posts. You can change the number of posts which should be shown in the first menu in the next setting called "Max posts shown on
the main page. Using the comment setting, you can manage the location of your comments (i.e Where should it appear), Who can comment (i.e Only people who can write in this blog, admins, users who own a google account or anyone including anonymous people). Comment moderation means approving or rejecting every comment before publishing (Publishing means publicly shown to people). Using the email moderation requests, you can add an email address. Whenever someone will publish a comment, a moderation request will be sent to these email addresses. Reader comment captcha means before publishing a comment, show a puzzle to users. This stops spam on your website. Using the email section, you can manage the email setting. Time zone means the time of the location where your website is hosted from. Some templates (We will discuss templates later) (Templates means theme) allow you to show publish date in your post. The date header format is how the date will be shown in your website post. These are the options available

A search description is the description shown when your website is searched on browsers like Google. Custom 404 means you can create your own 404 page. As per Wikipedia, In computer network communications, the HTTP 404, 404 not found, 404, 404 error, page not found or file not found error message is a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) standard response code, to indicate that the browser was able to communicate with a given server, but the server could not find what was requested. Custom redirects mean you can redirect a URL from your blog to another link in your blog (e.g You can redirect aeroeleib.com/post/7292792 to aeroeleib.com/post/1927392. Then comes robots.txt.The robots exclusion standard, also known as the robots exclusion protocol or simply robots.txt, is a standard used by websites to communicate with web crawlers and other web robots. The standard specifies how to inform the web robot about which areas of the website should not be processed or scanned. We recommend you keep this option closed if you are a beginner. Then is the Google search console. Google Search Console is a free service offered by Google that helps you monitor, maintain, and troubleshoot your site's presence in Google Search results. ... Receive alerts when Google encounters indexing, spam, or other issues on your site. Show you which sites link to your website. Then comes ads.txt.ads.txt is an initiative from IAB Technology Laboratory. It specifies a text file that companies can host on their web servers, listing the other companies authorized to sell their products or services. Import content means if you have a backup of your old blog and you want to import it in this blog, use this import button. Back up means making a spare copy of data or a disk. Videos from your blog. Using this videos option, you can see or delete video or videos which you have added to your posts (This also includes gifs). Remove your blog removes your blog. I hope you liked this post.
