Settings

   The section of Settings allows us to change the configuration of our blog.

What can we modify?

   Blogger gives us a wide variety of settings which result useful for our best experience and administration of the blog. It goes from simple things like the URL, to more complex things like search preferences. This options are organized into 6 categories.


  • Basic: On this tab you can modify the most simple things of your blog, like its title, description, privacy, adress, editors and readers.
  • Posts and comments: On this tab you can modify the amount of comments shown on the main page, their location, who can comment, the comment moderation, the comment security and comment form. This allows you to have more control on what is posted on the comment's section. This way, you can avoid, or not, spam and offensive or undesirable material.
  • Mobile and email: On this tab you can change the options for posting through a mail. You can also add a notification every time a comment is written and send your posts to contacts by adding them on a list.
  • Language and formatting: On this tab you can choose the language of your blog, enable or disable transliteration, set a Time Zone and the format that dates and hour have on your blog.
  • Search Preferences: On this tab you can create the custom pages for any error on your blog and custom redirects (get sent to a URL when other is missing). Moreover, you can edit custom robots.txt, so people can find your blog more easily.
  • Other: On this tab you can import, export or delete your blog and put a warning of adult content. There are some other options.

What else should we consider about Settings?

   Nothing of what is done here will be saved unless you click on Save Settings, on the top right corner of the screen. It's important to remember this, as nothing you modify is kept if you don't update correctly your settings this way.
