Remove Excess Blogs from Your Blogger Profile




BLOG TIP:


Do you contribute to several Blogger Blogs? The default setting is to show all the blogs to which you contribute.

Correct this by choosing which blogs to show in blogger.

Go to your personal blog’s dashboard. On the left scroll to SETTINGS. Under Settings, choose USER SETTINGS (it is the bottom option in settings on the left side)

On the right is a button to Edit User Profile. Click it.

The EDIT USER PROFILE page pops up.

Under the section for PRIVACY, click on SELECT BLOGS TO DISPLAY to the right of SHOW MY BLOGS. Select the blogs you want displayed, and UNCHECK any blogs you don’t want to show up in your profile. 

Be sure to click on SAVE.

Why is selecting the blogs important?

  1. We don’t want “visitors” coming to the private or secret blogs.
  2. This helps visitors who look at your profile trying to locate your personal blog in response to comments you left on their blogs.

For example: 

I contribute to eleven blogger blogs. I don’t want people to wonder which of those blogs are mine, so only 2 of my blogs are checked.

I also don’t want them to click on the links to the private-admin blogs that the general public should not be seeing (especially if proprietary information is available on them)

Be sure to click on SAVE!

  8. Thank you for sharing this, Donna. I have inadvertently ended up on a DT blog before when a person had multiple blogs listed. Everyone should pay heed to this.
