Blogger's New Blogger Following Feature

Blogger has added a handy new feature, which allows you to network with other Blogger bloggers, reading their blogs and gaining exposure for your Blogger blog.

You'll notice that I've installed it over on the right, where it says: "Followers." Bloggers can follow this blog by simply clicking on it.

Using the "Blogger Following" button has distinct advantages but before we get to that, you may be wondering how to install it on your Blogger blog.

It's easy. Simply go to your Blogger Dashboard, then to Layout, then to Add a Gadget. The new feature is the second one down, entitled "Followers." Click on that and follow instructions. Once you've installed it, other Bloggers will have another way of following your blog. But it doesn't end there . . .

If you click on someone else's Following button and opt to follow that blog, you'll notice something a little different at your Dashboard. When you sign-in to Blogger, scroll down. You'll see "Reading List." This allows you to see the latest posts by the Blogger bloggers you are following.

What a great feature! It's so easy to read these blogs and to comment, which may result in more readers for your blog.

Hats off to Blogger for the new Blogger Follow button. This convenient new feature makes blogging even more enjoyable!
