Dashboard Tutorial - New Blogger Interface


Hopefully most of you are using the new blogger interface by now. I personally was nervous about it at first cause I do NOT like change. I stick with what I know for the most part, but I was really glad I tried this out. The new dashboard has a lot of really cool features that make blogging easier and more fun. I'm going to do a series of tutorials to show you how to navigate the new dashboard a little bit. If you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comments and I'll try my best to answer them all for you. 


There is a new menu on the dashboard that lists all the important things you'll need to customize your blog.
I know we have brand new bloggers here and seasoned pros too, so I'll try to give basic info as well as some tips to help you all. 

First off on the menu bar is the overview. The overview gives you a quick run down of your site. Below is a screen shot of your overview page and then another screen shot with some notes from me. Click on the images to enlarge them.




This page gives you access to everything that you'll need very quickly. It also gives you a run down of comments you might need to moderate, your blog traffic stats and the latest updates from blogger. 





That's basically the Overview page. Pretty simple for this one. Just a good page to start on to give you the quick updates you might be interested in. Next week we'll go over the next step on the menu bar, Posts. This one has tons of info, so be sure to check back next week for that!


If you're not already using the new blogger interface, you should see my post on it here and make the switch!
