Change Date And Time To Promote/Move Posts

Chrome uses published data to decide where the post is shown in Blog Archive or feed, we can change the published data after publish to move the post.

when set published date to future:
- Update the exiting one: this will not change the date and time in the url but will change where it's put at Blog Archive
- Publish a new one or again: this will schedule the post to publish it in the future
We can change an old post to a newer date to move and promote it
- ex: Keyboard Shortcuts for Developers was move from 2018/05 to 2019/04
We can move similar posts together or distribute them into different months/years.

Add a post to the past

Publish a post first (using Automatic time)
Revert it to draft
Change date time to past then publish it again
ex: Awesome Tips about Chrome Vimium was added on 5/30/2019 and changed its date time to April 08, 2019

Manage/Use Labels Effectively

Multiple Labels Search
- and query: /search/label/Dev Tips+Chrome
- Or Query: /search/?q=label:"Problem Solving"|label:Troubleshooting
- Search a keyword within a Label: add q=%s
- /search/label/Dev Tips+Chrome?q=Markdown
Add more Labels to an Existing Post
Bulk remove labels
- Just click the label to be removed at the label action
Hide Labels count < X from Label Widget

<b:loop values='data:labels' var='label'>
  <b:if cond='data:label.count &gt;= 10'>
    <!-- ....  -->
  </b:if>
</b:loop>

Exclude labels at Configure Labels

Blogger Feeds API

feeds/posts/default/feeds/posts/default/-/THE_LABLE
max-results: the maximum number of results to be retrieved
orderby: updated, published
Search Multiple Labels(AND) in Blogger Feeds
- and query: feeds/posts/default/-///.../
- or query: /feeds/posts/default?q=label:label1|label:label2

Tips about SEO and Promote Posts

Show Post Title Before Blog Title
Add search description
- You have to add content to the box, if it's empty or you delete the description in the future, the search description function will be gone/
- It appears in Google Search or when we share it to Linkedin, Facebook, Twitter
Custom the url at Links -> Permalink to make it more readable

Add `Custom Redirects` after changed the url

ex: /2018/06/chrome-tips-and-tricks.html will be redirected to /2018/06/awesome-tips-about-chrome.html

Create a Custom "Page Not Found"

ex: N/A

Promote your Content by Creating and Sticking Index Page

Publish the post first then change date to a future date
ex: home

How To Promote Posts Based On Labels And Recency

Tips

Remove the automatically added code: Dir="Ltr" Trbidi="On"
- Disable this by turn off "Enable transliteration" in Language and formatting settings
- If "Enable transliteration" is on, blogger will automatically add this code whenever it detects it's not there
- if you have custom javascript code in your post, this behavior will break the js code.
Hide or Remove Blogger Attribution Gadget
Open external links in new tabs automatically
Add anchor links to section headings
Create a page to list all posts
Left/Right key to go to older/newer post
- Use a widget to add javascript instead of update the template directly: it's easier, and will still work even when change the template.

Sitemap web pages

search-console

Add your post to search-console by manually requesting indexing
Check Coverage -> Excluded and request indexing posts for Discovered - currently not indexed and Crawled - currently not indexed
