Post Setting Area of Blogger Post Editor

On the right side of the Blogger post editor, there are some settings related to Blogger Posts these are called Post Settings.

Labels

Labels are used to show the several related posts, labels are also known as the category. For example, you have written a post on topic How to create a blog on Blogger and sort it with some labels like “Beginner’s guide, Blogging, Blogger” now you have one more post “Beginner’s guide to Analytics” and sort it labels like “Beginner’s Guide, Blogging, Analytics”. Your visitors want to learn more about Blogging so they will click on it and its related posts will be displayed.

Schedule

If you are a part-time blogger and sometimes you have too much spare time you can write more blog posts and schedule them using this option. To schedule posts click on the Schedule options select Set date and time option and select the date from below calendar.

Links

  • Permalink:  When you type the title of your post in the editor Blogger automatically generates a link to your blog. If you want to customize the link then click on the Links option, select Custom Permalink and enter the link which you want. Note: Spaces in the links are not allowed you have to add “Dash” symbol “–” between words to separate them.
  • Title Links: If you wish to link your blog posts to specific URL then type the URL in the Title link field. It is not very important you can just leave it blank.
  • Enclosure Links: Enclosure links are used to include the podcast media in your blog posts, we have already described these links in the settings.

Location

Click on the Location option and type your exact location in the search bar and press the enter key. Once your search is done click on the Done button.

Search Description

Search description is the best options in the Post Settings. Here you have to enter a summarized paragraph of about 150 characters about your post it will help the Google as well as readers to understand your blog posts.

Options

  • Allow Reader Comments: If you want your reader to post the comment then select the allow options but if you do not want then click on don’t allow. I highly recommend you to allow the readers to comment on your posts.
  • Compose Mode: It has further two options which I think you should know in full explanation.
    • Show HTML Literary: If you want to show some HTML contents in your post then select this option, for example, your blog is about HTML tutorials so you have to often paste the HTML code in the posts so that your visitors can understand it. Selecting Show HTML Literary will not convert the HTML in its original form.
    • Interpret typed HTML: If you are working in the compose mode and want to add any kind of button for example Download button you can type the HTML code in the compose mode this option will automatically convert the code into its meaning.
  • Line breaks: It has further two options and you should understand about them completely.
    • Use <br> tag: If you are working in the Compose mode and are using Enter key to make paragraphs, Blogger will automatically put a line between paragraphs for you but if you look in the HTML mode it will show you a <br> tag.
    • Press “Enter” for line breaks: This is same but a little different from the <br> tags, if you are working in HTML mode and are using Enter key to make space between paragraphs, Blogger will automatically create a line, but if you change the compose mode with HTML mode you will see a line between paragraphs, not a </br> tag.

Custom Robots Tags

These tags have no value when you have enabled them from the Search Preferences option under the settings page, but if you want to change the indexing for your any specific post then you can use these tags. If you have not enabled this then go back to the settings page and enable it in the way as I had described it.
