Help With Blogger

    Well, I recently made a blog, and I need some help.
    -How do you make it so only a short amount of your post shows up and they (the viewers) have to click to view the rest because it crowds up the first page.

    Also I don't get what all this "feed" means like RSS feed and all the other ones.

    Yes I am a new blogger, explaining would be appreciated =).

    Are you using Blogger or wordpress? If it is wordpress, there is a plugin that you can get that will do this for you. Not sure what it is called but if you go to the wordpress site it will give you all of the plugins that you need.

    I dont know about the first part, I dont use blogger, I'm a wordpress man.
    But as for feeds, they're just easy ways for people to read your content. Instead of them having to go to the site, they can view your content in a reader via your feed.

    You might want to consider using feedburner.com for the RSS feed for your blogger blog

    You don't technically need one - it's just a convenience to your readers, not a necessity (although I would highly recommend it)

    Ok...I got this...in Blogger....

    From your Dashboard...
    - Click Settings It's next to Manage

    - Click Formatting It's under the Settings tab.

    The first item you see says Show to the left. Then you can set the number of posts on the main page. I like 5.

    Hope this helps...best of luck.
