noreply@blogger.com (Dida) — Wed, 23 Sep 2026 17:20:45 +0000

As the title suggests, I'll walk you through the Blogger Dashboard, starting from Posts and continuing through the Reading List.

I know new users will probably explore the dashboard on their own, so you might think there’s no need to explain every feature. However, what if you miss something? You might not even realize that Blogger has a particular feature, and instead, you could end up going to the Blogger Community to ask about it. Even longtime Blogger users can sometimes overlook useful functions that have been sitting right in front of them.

That’s why I’m here to walk you through the Blogger Dashboard in detail, so you can get familiar with its features and make the most of what Blogger has to offer.

Have you ever uploaded a perfectly clear image to Blogger, only to find that it looks strangely blurry once it appears on your website?

How to Fix Blogger Comment iframe Dark Mode Errors

noreply@blogger.com (Dida) — Mon, 04 May 2026 03:11:00 +0000

One of the most frustrating challenges I faced while working with Blogger themes was figuring out how to make the Blogger comment iframe properly adapt to light and dark mode.

If you're planning to add a light/dark mode toggle to your Blogger website, you may have noticed that Blogger's built-in themes are limited when it comes to supporting both modes at the same time. Even after implementing a theme switcher, the comment box often remains stuck in its default appearance instead of changing with the rest of the website.

After years of experimenting and trying different approaches, I finally found a solution to this problem. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to fix Blogger comment iframe dark mode issues and make the comment section properly adapt to your website's light and dark modes.

What is a Digital Badge in Blogger Comment

noreply@blogger.com (Dida) — Fri, 24 Apr 2026 08:25:00 +0000

I’m thinking about making commenting on my website more fun and rewarding for my readers by adding ranks, levels, and points as they participate in the comments. They could also earn custom badges as rewards or even gain special privileges, such as becoming an author on the blog when they reach a certain level.

Another benefit is that when someone new visits the blog, they might become curious when they see a badge or title next to a commenter’s name. They may click on the person’s profile to learn more and visit their blog. This can also give my readers a way to promote their own websites without having to include direct links in their comments.

So, in this post, you’ll learn what badges are in Blogger comments and how you can earn them.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to add a modern, tabbed weekly schedule to your Blogger site. This widget will automatically fetch your posts and organize them by the days of the week (Monday–Sunday) based on their publication date.

Can You Use Blogger for a Manga or Light Novel Website?

noreply@blogger.com (Dida) — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 22:00:00 +0000

If you're an artist or novel writer looking for a place to host your work where you're in control of everything and where you can even monetize your own website—yes, you can start by using a free hosting platform like Blogger.

I know you can also publish your work on reading platforms such as Webtoon, Wattpad, Tappytoon, or other comic and novel sites. It's convenient and easy because you don't have to worry about much beyond uploading your creations.

One disadvantage of using Blogger, however, is that you'll need to handle some things manually. For example, you'll have to adjust image parameters to make sure your images don't appear blurry or low-resolution.

But there's always a solution to these problems, and that's why I'm here. In this tutorial, you'll learn how you can start hosting your own manga or light novel on Blogger and discuss the things you need to know to make it work.

How to Add an HTML Sitemap with Live Search

noreply@blogger.com (Dida) — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 19:32:00 +0000

While looking at my homepage, I wondered what kind of HTML sitemap would be useful for readers. If they want to browse older posts, there’s already the Blog Archive. If they’re looking for a specific post, they can use the Blog Search. So, I came up with an HTML sitemap with live search and filtering, allowing readers to browse all of your posts in one place.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to add an HTML sitemap with Live Search instead of plain, boring text links. Users can browse posts by label, search by keyword (matching the title or snippet of your posts), and sort posts by newest or recently updated.

How to Automatically Generate a Table of Contents Using Headings

noreply@blogger.com (Dida) — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 18:37:00 +0000

When you’re publishing long-form articles on Blogger, readability and organization are just as important as the content itself. That’s where a Table of Contents (TOC) can make a big difference. Instead of making readers scroll through the entire article, a TOC provides a quick overview of your content and allows them to jump directly to the sections they’re interested in. It’s a simple addition, but it can significantly improve the user experience, help reduce bounce rates, and potentially support better SEO.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to add an automatic Table of Contents to your Blogger posts. The TOC automatically updates based on your headings, so you don’t have to manually edit the links whenever you add, remove, or rearrange sections in your article.

What Bato’s Shutdown Means for Webtoon Readers

noreply@blogger.com (phantom) — Sat, 11 Apr 2026 19:14:00 +0000

What Happened to BATO?

If you spent any time reading manga or manhwa online, there’s a good chance you’ve heard of BATO, often referred to as Bato.to.

For years, it was a familiar spot for readers looking to discover new series, catch up on stories, or find titles that weren’t always easy to locate elsewhere (haven't translated to their native language). For some readers, it was also part of their everyday routine—checking for updates, browsing different series, and seeing what was new.

So, what happened to BATO?

How to Add an Admin Badge to Blogger Comments Using Profile IDs

noreply@blogger.com (Dida) — Sat, 11 Apr 2026 05:48:00 +0000

Have you ever replied to your readers and wanted them to know that you’re the owner of your blog?

Many social media platforms and online communities use badges to identify admins, moderators, supporters, or other special members. You can do something similar in Blogger by adding a custom badge to specific commenters.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to add an Admin badge to your Blogger comments using only your Blogger Profile ID. And it’s not limited to just you! You can also use the same method to give badges to loyal readers, blog members, or other people you want to recognize.

For example, you could add an Author badge to contributors when they leave a comment on your blog. You can even take it a step further by adding a verified tick or another custom badge to your profile.
