New Ways to Look at Your Blog

Blogger Views

Google has introduced five new dynamic templates in Blogger that you’ll soon be able to customize and use for your blog. These new views use the latest trends in web technology, which includes AJAX, HTML5 and CSS3, to deliver a host of benefits to you and your readers.

Are you wondering what those benefits are? Here's a short list.

* Infinite scrolling: read more posts without having to reload or click to a second page
* New layouts: different views suited to different types of blogs
* Speed: download images as you view them, not all at once in advance
* Interactivity: there are now more ways to experience and engage with blog content

You too can try out these new views for your own blog. How? Simply add "/view" to the end of the blog URL—for example, http://cynicalgoogler.blogspot.com/view.

These new views are available on all public Blogger blogs with feeds fully enabled—to learn more, including how to disable these views for your blog if you wish, please see our help center article.

Google is previewing these templates early on so that they can incorporate your feedback for a wider launch soon. At that time you’ll be able to customize these templates and select one for your blog.
