Here is the link from XDA-Developers, where they detail the process. You'll be surprised how simple it is ;-)

I like to share these kinds of tips and tricks as soon as I figure them out so that people who may be in a similar situation will find out as soon as possible.
This trick should help you to create focused sections of content on your blogger site. Normally, your blog starts with one stream for content, which is

I found this on Google+ and thought it would be worth sharing lol. I think it speaks volumes about the kinds of people we typically find sporting the ideas of the different political extremes.

This one talks about something that should be of concern to all of us: digital privacy. The article calls for a "web 3.0 right to privacy," which is an interesting idea.
While FB and Google+ try to limit how private we can be online through their "sharing" tools, we are beginning to learn that having a pseudonym and other privacy protecting practices
