Setting Up a Blogger Blog - Formatting Settings Part 3


Welcome to part three on this series teaching you best practices for setting up a Blogger blog. Let's get right into it.

Show posts - Interesting question! I suggest seven because that way you get a variety of posts showing without diluting your search engine optimization too much. We also have to consider esthetics: you want your sidebar features to match your content. Eliminate blank space.

Date format - Do what makes sense to your target audience.

Archive date format - This is how visitors will search past posts. I recommend the month/year format with the month spelled out as searchers will tend to search for a word before a number.

Timestamp - Choose the selection that best suits your target audience. Do you want your visitors to know you're blogging at three in the morning?

Time zone - Pick your time zone.
