Dynamic Views: seven new ways to share your blog with the world
1 week ago by A Googler
As we said a few weeks ago
when we launched a completely rebuilt, streamlined authoring and
editing experience, we’re in the process of bringing you a much improved
and modernized Blogger. The next phase of these updates starts today
with seven new ways to display your blog, called Dynamic Views.
Built with the latest in web technology (AJAX, HTML5 and CSS3), Dynamic
Views is a unique browsing experience that will inspire your readers to
explore your blog in new ways. The interactive layouts make it easier
for readers to enjoy and discover your posts, loading 40 percent faster
than traditional templates and bringing older entries to the surface so
they seem fresh again.
Dynamic Views is much more than just new templates. With just a couple
clicks, you’ll get infinite scrolling (say goodbye to the “Older posts”
link), images that load as you browse, integrated search, sorting by
date, label and author, lightbox-style posts for easy viewing, keyboard
shortcuts for quickly flipping through posts, and one-click sharing to
Google+ and other social sites on every post.
No two blogs are the same, so you can choose from seven different views
that display text and photos differently. For example, if you have lots
of photos on your blog, you may prefer Flipcard or Snapshot. If your
blog is more text-heavy, then Classic, Sidebar (what you’re seeing now
on Blogger Buzz) or Timeslide may be preferable. Here’s a quick
description of each of the new views, along with links to some of our
favorite blogs where you can check each of them out in action.
- Classic (Gmail): A modern twist on a traditional template, with infinite scrolling and images that load as you go
- Flipcard (M loves M) - Your photos are tiled across the page and flip to reveal the post title
- Magazine (Advanced Style) - A clean, elegant editorial style layout
- Mosaic (Crosby’s Kitchen) - A mosaic mix of different sized images and text
- Sidebar (Blogger Buzz Blog) - An email inbox-like view with a reading page for quick scrolling and browsing
- Snapshot (Canelle et Vanille) - An interactive pinboard of your posts
- Timeslide (The Bleary-Eyed Father) - A horizontal view of your posts by time period
Enter the name of your favorite Blogger blog below and click Preview to check it out with Dynamic Views.
.blogspot.com (for example, okeh!!!!!)
Adding a Dynamic View to your blog is as easy as changing your template.
Log in to Blogger, click on the Template tab on your dashboard, and
select whichever view you want to set as your default. Note that readers
can still choose to navigate your blog in a different view by selecting
from the pulldown in the upper left of the screen.
If you want to add your own touch to any of these new views, you can
upload a header image and customize the background colors. We’ll be
adding more ways to customize Dynamic Views in the coming weeks.
We hope you enjoy the latest update to Blogger, and that, as always, you tell us what you think by completing this short survey.
Note: In addition to Blogger Buzz, several other official Google
blogs will be featuring Dynamic Views through the weeks and months
ahead, including the Gmail Blog, LatLong Blog and Docs Blog. We’re
excited to bring Dynamic Views into the fold and we'll be looking at
how to incorporate this new technology across Google’s blog network in
the long term.
