Blogger Beta Gets Cool

Blogger Logo

Blogger Beta is finally tying up its loose ends, presenting templates with style, and offering bloggers new functions. Hackers are having fun with making changes too.

Great Find:
Adding a wider-sidebar to your blog
Permalink: http://stubborn-fanatic.blogspot.com/2006/11/wider-sidebar-widebar-sidebar.html

Target Audience: Google Blogger and Blogspot blogggers
Content: Documenting Fanaticism is a real find for Blogspot bloggers. From the moment that you land on the home page, you’ll notice that the familiarity of the template only serves to show you the skills of the blogger who has made it into something more in so many ways that haven’t been seen before. Tabs across the top announce and organize the blog into well-defined site locations:

  • Home
  • beta hacks/talk
  • Book Reviews
  • contents
  • projects
  • quotes
  • software
  • Disclaimer

The blog itself welcomes readers with the following statement:

Welcome to the new layout of my blog. I am very happy to announce that with this new layout, my blog is now fully compatible with internet explorer as well. If you like this layout, learn how to implement it here.

The “here” it speaks of is the Great Find I’m sending you to. Click the title below to get there.
