Blogger is Now even Cooler!


This is a new feature in Blogger in which you can subscribe to publicly become a follower of a blog, and others would also be your follower.

If usually we only put links to other bloggers’ blogs in ours, in this new feature, you can see the updates in the subscribed blogs in your Dashboard once you log in into your Blogger account. Now you don’t have to patiently click one by one on the links just to check whether they have put new entries in their blogs or not. The Dashboard tells everything!

Not only that, you can secretly be a loyal reader for a blog. This is most likely when you don’t want the author to know that you’ve subscribed to his/her blog. Isn’t it cool?

Besides that, you can put a gadget from which you can see all updates from the blogs that you've subscribed. For example, see the middle bar in this blog under the section named "I Read Theirs". Thing like that... Again, clicking will be lesser from now on!

To know more about this new feature, read here.


Thanks and congratulations to As for being the first subscribed follower for this blog. I really appreciate it. Huhu~

So, my plan in making use of this new feature is to subscribe to all blogs that have been active since last few months to this blog; be it in giving comments or saying hello in the chatbox. I hope you’ll do the same to my blog also. It’s like building a network connection to all blogs you’ve linked in yours.

Apart from that, this is basically the thing that I would like to implement in the IIUM Bloggers’ Blog, but since it uses WordPress, which is far complex than Blogger, so I couldn’t manage to do it. Maybe I should consider to transfer the community blog to Blogger instead of WordPress. Is it possible people?

Note: I couldn't subscribe to some blogs for some reasons like error and undetectable feed. To those involved, please check your settings ok?

The Following feature will be rolled out to all over the next few weeks, so if you don’t see it right away, don’t worry. It’s coming soon.

This is why your having the problem subscribing kut. Same with me. But I'm currently in the process of a major makeover to my blog. Not just a new layout, but one major new feature as well in addition to this new blogroll that blogger just introduced. So don't expect to see any changes yet, I'll only make the changes once everything is in place, insyaAllah.

owh really? maybe aku je yang lembab pasal.. adakah u mean plug-in dalam WP? kalo ye, pergh~ nak search bila la nak jumpe. huhu

but i have a good news. sekang adlan sedang menyiapkan something utk IIUMbloggers.com. he's more expert in WP i suppose.

bravo adlan! hehe..

dont worry anonymous, for the time being i'll not move the community blog to blogger. :D thanks for the concern ya...

Adlan said...

I'm just thinking that this follower is like a myBlogLog version for Blogger.

Aiyah.. I'm not so expert in WP. just doing tweaking here and there. insyaAllah if you've 'free' time, you can learn on your own too..

btw, new theme design just 30% completed.. should be ready by this weekend.. huhu
