New Custom Search Engine for Blogspot Hacks, Tips & Templates

I am announcing a custom Blogspot Search Engine designed to provide you with the most relevant results for Blogspot tips, hacks, templates, tutorials and much more. The Search Engine folds the contents of 30+ popular hack and template sites in with natural Google results. The outcome produces one of the easiest methods for finding the answers that you need quickly.

Refinement labels are added to drill down into a variety of topics or site types. Pick the results that you want to see, without all of that fluff in the middle.

Try these example queries which are popular in forums and groups right now:

Help me refine this Search Engine by leaving constructive criticism in the comments below. I will entertain any suggestion.

Are you a Blogspot tip, tutorial or template site? Chances are you may already be included in this Search Engine already. If you feel that you are not, leave your sitename and Url below and I will check into it and add if appropriate.

I will add sites that only partially deal with Blogspot as well. If you have something to offer, holler away below.

Introducing WebStraction's Tips 4 BlogSpot

Tips 4 Blogspot NewsI have seen numerous tip sites on the Internet for Blogger, some of which are pretty bad. There are a few pearls in there however. Inevitably though, they all have one thing in common -- they deal with the new and improved Blogger which is now hosted on Blogspot.com

Having my original Blogger account self-hosted for my WebDev Blog at WebStractions (eg: the old Classic style) a lot of the tips I saw was all Greek to me. I had no clue as to what they were talking about when it came to editing your layout or inserting widgets. I come to find that the terms are new and apply to the way Blogger is now handling the template for the blog.

Ultimately I had to get myself one of these new fangdangled blogs to play around with. So far it is has been a pleasant experience and relatively easy to work with. What was more exciting was that nobody had claimed my main domain name (Webstractions) as their own.

Anyhow, I will be dedicating this site to my exploration of the new Blogger and hopefully provide some pearls of wisdom for all of you out there in Blogsville. And if there are any of you who are actually still hosting their original Classic Blogger account, drop me line so I know I am not the only one out there.
