Blogger New Commenting Feature

Thursday, August 12, 2010

Blogspot has a new feature implemented again - this time it's a new feature for comments.



Now you can manage the comments received on your Blogger blog. It will be with one of the tabs with the other navigation, such as Edit Post, Settings, Designs and Monetize.



Here's how the navigation bar look now.



With the commenting feature, now you can easily check on published comments, comments that are awaiting moderation and spam comments.



To be honest, it's almost like Wordpress now - except Wordpress has a "Trash" are once you deleted a particular comment, probably just in case you want to recover it back.



But when you delete comments on Blogspot, that cannot be undone.





This is how the "Published" section look like - with complete information such as comment author, commented blog post and the date.





Comments "Awaiting Moderation" section. It's self-explanatory.





And lastly, the "Spam" section. Haven't gotten any in my spam inbox right now, hopefully it works against automated spam comment bots.



Take note: It's not implemented on all blogs, yet. Only a handful of blogs has this feature - probably all will have it in the near future.

How To Change Default Photo Size Uploaded on Blogspot

How to edit the size of the photos uploaded on Blogspot?

If you have uploaded a photo bigger than the default 400px x 400px maximum width and height on Blogspot and would like to display its original size, here's how.


Here's a demonstration: You uploaded this (tiger) picture onto your Blogspot (which is originally larger at 1071px x 1600px), and you want it to be displayed on a bigger scale. What you need to do is to look at the HTML section of the particular blog post.

Look for the code lines for the picture. It will look somehow like this.

<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w_GFTyFdgVo/S9tz30_A2EI/AAAAAAAABKA/P2IFW7Zce4g/s1600/IMG_5331.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxzhS6Ce_fPFa39wn68qlUnDFVkFCdDwgdJQVtHKy7C_Z41qOTf5RB7EWa3BOEyBt2ilz05XvCGN3X1tURRlEejOZMsT2dfbXHw9-bh0SAEjfFZ_lhFCsHnJhUlEuQxAmXvz7b4qUSk_30/s400/DSC_0232.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466089975697168450" border="0" /></a>

Then, all you need to do is to change the URL's (highlighted in Orange) "s400" part.

Change it to:

• s800 - for medium size.
• S1600 - for full size.

When it's changed to s800, here's the medium size of the photo shown.


Now the displayed photo size is 536px x 800px.

Likewise, change it to "s1600" if you want to display to full size of the photo.

Take note: s800 and s1600 has no connection with the height and width, and may show different results compared to the demonstration shown here. It varies depending on the original size of your uploaded photo.

Any questions are welcomed.
