Footers |
|
All blogs have a footer section, which spans the width of the page and appears below all blog content. As with the sidebars of a blog, you can add components to the footer.
As with headers, footers have three columns in which components can be placed, and the top-to-bottom placement of components on the Layout screen translates to a left-to-right placement in your blog's footer.
There are two components available for use in your footer:
| • | Category RSS Feed |
The Category RSS Feed component is visible if syndication is activated (see Syndication, under the Settings & Security tab). If it is activated, a Syndicate This Category link gives readers access to the syndication feed listing the latest entries posted under the current category.
| • | Fav: My Favorite Weblogs |
The Favorites list has been pre-filled with links to some popular blogs. It is included with every new blog to help you get started. This list may be edited as required: delete it entirely, or create additional lists in the Favorites section.
To set the components of your blog's footer:
| 1. | Click the Look & Feel tab, and then click the Layout link at the top of the page. |
| 2. Click the Footer tab to open the Footer page, which shows the available header components |
| 3. | To move a header component, click and drag it to another column. |
| 4. | To activate a header component, move it from the Inactive column to one of the layout columns. |
| 5. | To remove a header component from the layout, click and drag it to the Inactive column. |
| 6. | Click the Preview button at the bottom of the page to preview your blog, and the favorites list. |
| 7. | If you are satisfied, click the Save button. Your favorites list will appear when readers open you blog main page. |
