Editing Google Blogs
This guide explains how to update editable areas of your website which use the Google Blogger service.
Sign-in to your Blogger Account
Using your main website email address (e.g. enquiries@yourdomain.co.uk), and the password supplied by Kingsbridge Websites, log-in to your Blogger Account.
Manage your Blogs
In the appropriate blog: 1) click 'New Post' to add a new post, or 2) click 'Posts' to edit a current post.
Edit Blog
1) Enter a title for the post if required.
2) Type in your content, or paste text from other document (see next step).
Copy and Paste Text
Add to text, or replace sections by selecting text and over-writing.
Important Note
Try not to format the text, as doing so can mess up the formatting of your website.
If you copy and paste text from another program (i.e. Microsoft Word, Apple Pages etc.) the copied text will include 'hidden' characters which can effect the formating when pasted into a blog post. The following solutions allow you to paste 'plain' text into your blog.
Solutions include:
1) Paste copied text into 'Notepad', then copy and paste from 'Notepad' to your Google Blog (Apple users can use 'TextEdit').
2) Use a free program such as PureText (or Plain Clip for Apple) which allows you to paste clipboard text as plain unformatted text.
3) Select pasted text in your blog post, then click the 'Remove Formating' button (circled above) - Note that this method is not always successful!
Inserting Pictures - Step 1
First of all, make sure that the picture you are uploading is a suitable size* (i.e. 100-300 pixels wide).
Click the 'Add Image' icon (circled above)
*Please see 'Re-sizing Photos in Windows XP' in the support section at Kingsbridge Websites for more information.
Inserting Pictures - Step 2
1) Choose a layout
2) Select the Image Size (small recommended)
3) Click 'Choose File' and select picture to upload
4) Click the 'Upload Image' button
Save
When you have finished editing your blog, click the 'Publish Post' button to update the linked content on your website.
