Here's something new in Blogger - 5 new dynamic templates. Right now they're just in preview, but Blogger is promising we'll be able to customize and use them for our blogs soon. I've been playing with them a bit today, and I'm really liking them.
The new views use the latest in web technology, including AJAX, HTML5 and CSS3, to deliver a host of benefits:
- 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
To try these views on your own blog, simply add “/view” to the end of the blog URL—for example,
http://www.justgottasharethis.info/view/ - check it out, you know you want to! I'm liking the Mosaic and the Timeslide so far. For a blog with more pictures, the Snapshot one would be great - like for
my recipe blog.
I think it's going to be fun, and I'm looking forward to seeing how the customization will work. Also, what about ads, banners, sidebars, etc.?
