Few things that one can do after creating a bloggers / blogspot blog of their own.
- Custom domain hosting - If you got your own domain name like example.com, you can direct to the blogger ID. That means if you have a domain name called example.com and registered a new blogpost ID like example.blogpost.com, you can go the Settings >> Publishing and have example.com take over your blogspot domain. The instructions are pretty straight forward.
If you do not have a domain name, get it registered through "go daddy" since they have got the best service and one of the best back-end administration screen to manage your domain. Click on the godaddy image shown on the right side to register a domain.
- Google Analytics - If you have an google analytics account, you can paste the analytics code in the blogger template. All you need to do is go to Google Analytics, login with you ID and once you are on the overview page click "Edit" on the extreme right of the table. Once you are there, click "Check Status". You will see you Analytics code.
Just copy it >> Enter you blogger admin >> Design >> Edit HTML. In the HTML code section, find "" tag and paste the analytics code obtained above just before "". Save the template and you are good to go. - Sitemap - You would also need to submit your blog posts to the google webmaster. For that you need a site map. You blogger sitemap is actually "atom.xml". So if your site is called example.com, your sitemap URL should be http://example.com/atom.xml.
Just login to your google webmaster account >> click the site (if you have multiple sites listed in the same webmaster account) >> From the left sidebar select Site Configuration >> Sitemaps >> Add sitemap >> type "atom.xml" in the popup box >> Submit Sitemap. Your are done.
Update: if the site map is not getting submitted, please check the format of your website URL submitted in webmaster. If the site format is www.example.blogspot.com, change it to just example.blogspot.com with "www". You will have to first remove the site URL with www and add a new site without www. Resubmit the site map atom.xml and this time, it should go through fine.
- Remove Blogger Navbar - Some of you get bothered due to the presence of blogger navigation bar on the top of every template. You can now remove it pretty easily - both in old and new template format. This can be accomplished by adding navbar CSS value to whatever template you are using.
Blogger admin >> Design >> Edit HTML >> add the following code inside the CSS section of the template (if you are not sure search for "body {" and add this code just above it):
#navbar-iframe {display: none !important;} - Remove Blogger Favicon: As already discussed above, login to the Edit HTML section and paste the below code above the "<body>" tag:
<link href='####' rel='shortcut icon' type='image/x-icon'/>
