Not everybody is created for coding and advanced webdesign, but with a relaxed attitude and some amount of concentration you can make if not wonders exactly,
but at least big improvements with your blog from Blogger. It’s really not difficult
and if something doesn’t work from the beginning, you just try again. Nothing catastrophic will happen from trying – only make a back-up before you begin.
If you want a truly radical change of your blogs appearance, the absolute easiest way is to change your Blogger template. Here you can find some additional easy-to-follow info about that: How To Change Blogger Template.
Cashrevelations.com has selected out 5 simple Blogger tips we think you can use on your own blog even if you are an absolute beginner – Blogger tips that are easy to implement and make significant difference to your blogs functionality and appearance.
5 Easy Blogger Tips
1. LinkWithin – Related Posts With Thumbnails
LinkWithin is a blog widget that appears under each post, linking to related stories from your blog archive. The widget links to stories that are relevant and interesting to readers of a particular post, keeping them engaged with your blog, and increasing your traffic. The widget is free and ad-free – no signup required.

2. Disqus Comments
Disqus Comments is a comment system and moderation tool for your site. This service lets you add next-gen community management and social web integrations to any site on any platform. Built-in compatibility with Disqus Profile means that you can encourage verified commenter profiles.
3. Feedburner
Cashrevelations.com uses Feedburner for feed statistics, adding feed flare enhancements to our feed and monitoring users subscriptions. It is an easy way to add a more “tasty” look for your feed and also more subscription alternatives to your readers. Blogger lets you specify your Feedburner info in the ‘Site Feed’ tab inside your dashboard.
4. Lijit Search Tool
Lijit provides a search tool that will not only search your blog, but also search the blogs of your choice, and related sites (like YouTube, Flickr, Picasa, del.icio.us, etc.) that you choose and you and your friends use regularly. You can see the tool in action HERE.
5. Social Bookmarking Widget
AddThis helps your users share your content everywhere. If you by some reason don’t like the design of the AddThis button, then Lavsak.com and Sociofluid.com offer copy and paste social bookmarking widgets of different styles. The Lavsak.com widget is not at all the same advanced as the AddThis widget but it is anyway an alternative.
If you search on Google you will find a lot of (more or less) simple and useful Blogger tips. But remember, too much widgets will dramatically slow down your blog and make it less attractive. Again, try out what’s working for your blog and think practically: do the last widget you added really fill any function? If not, remove it quickly. If you don’t see any reasons, no one else will either.
Choose out functions for your blog with moderation, and have the principles of simplicity and functionality in mind. And have a reason or goal with every single widget you add.
Feedburner is my favorite among those plugins. It can help you improve the rankings of your site when you’ve encourage lot of your readers to subscribe to your feed. It is from Google so they manage this one.
