How to edit Posts Settings in Blogger New Interface

How you display and design posts in your blog will affect your blog’s readability and marketability. While blogs display posts in chronological order from the newest to the oldest, it is always important to show off your posts like the way readers want to. Blogger also offer few setting options for your blog to outshine the competition.

How to show preferred number of posts in your homepage:

1. Go to Settings menu and then click Posts and Comments.

2. At the “Show at most” line, type the number of post you want to display in the homepage of your blog. You can also choose days instead of posts. If you choose seven days, this means blog posts in the seven-day span appear in the homepage no matter how many are those. However, if you choose days and you have a huge number of posts in that time span, Blogger will only display up to 500 posts.

3. If you were targeting a single-keyword per blog posts, it would be better to display only one post in the homepage. If you were maintaining a normal blog, 5-7 posts in the homepage will be neat. If you have that photo album template that enables thumbnails in the homepage, you can choose as many posts as you can for your photo blog.

4. Click the Save Settings button above to apply the changes.

How to edit the Post Template:

1. If you want to add redundant headers, quotes, or signatures in every blog posts that you write and you do not want to do it every time you create a post, the post template option could help you. Simply paste the text or the HTML codes in the Post Template box. If you have these design codes that your template does not offer and you want to have it in every post that you write, you can simply paste it to the Post Template box, and it will appear automatically before every time you will try to create a post.

2. Click the Save Settings button above to apply the changes.

How to add flavor to your images:

1. Like what I have mentioned earlier, if you love images highlighted in your blog, you can choose YES to the “Showcase images with Lightbox.” This means if you will click on any image posted in your blog post (whether uploaded by you or from other URL sources), the image will automatically appear bigger and highlighted above your blog. This will enable viewers to zoom more on your photos or images. They can also view any other images in a certain post. This is a good feature for photographers and illustrators.

2. Click the Save Settings button above to apply the changes.
