Tech Tip: Mobile Template

I often find myself checking my blog on my phone when I am not on a computer, and I found a way how to change the template settings for a mobile phone.

When you log into your blog, on the left-hand side under New Post, click on Template.  From there you will see Live on Blog and Mobile view.  Click the edit button under the Mobile template.  Blogger will prompt you choosing a mobile template style.  You have the choice of keeping the default mobile template style for mobile devices, of showing the desktop template on mobile devices.

Tech Tip: Updating Your Template/Background

If you have become tired of your current background and template, this post is for you.

When logging into your blog, click on view blog.

In the top right-hand corner of your blog, you should see your email address, New Post, Design, and Sign Out.  Click on Design.

Design will take you to the template page where you can change the template of your back ground or upload a picture for your background. 

Choosing a template is easy.  You are given the choice of Simple, Dynamic Views, Picture Window, Awesome Inc., etc. 

If you would like to upload a picture of your choice for background, click on the customize button underneath the picture of your blog on Live on Blog.

On the top left-hand side you will see the word Templates, underneath templates click on Background. 

Your Current background image will appear on the right-hand side next to Templates. 

Click on the down arrow on the right-hand side of the image. The top choice that will appear is upload image. 

If you already have an image saved on your computer, click on choose file and search for that image and apply it to your background.  Otherwise you may Google search for an image and save the picture to your computer.   

After you have applied the photo to your background, on the right-hand side of your current background image that is shown on the top of the page, you have a choice of aligning the picture where you want, and choosing if you would like the picture to tiled or not.  Once you select your preference, on the top right-hand corner you will see an orange button that says “Apply to Blog”.


Click “Apply to Blog”, and viola, you have a new background for your blog.


I hope this tip was helpful, if not comment below and I will respond to help you! =)

Tech Tip: You Tube in Blogger

Hi everyone,

 I hope all is well with you. I’m going to tell you how to embed a You Tube video into your blog.


·         When you sign into your blog, create a new post. 
·         After you write your post, click on the area where you want to embed the video. Like embedding a picture; make sure that you have room when embedding the video in between two paragraphs or at the beginning of your post.
·          Next to link and the photo icon that we use, you will see the clapperboard/time slate.
·          Click on the icon and choose from the options that are given, and then click upload. 


I hope this helps. Have a great day, and message me if you have any questions.
