QDo you offer a custom blog design service?

ANot at the moment, though in the near future I will be introducing a premium service for unique Blogger template designs. Feel free to email me if you'd like more information about this.

QWhat is the "Updates Via Twitter" thing in the header section?

ATwitter is a free "social networking" service which thousands of people use to keep their friends updated on what they're doing at the moment.

I use Twitter as a means of keeping readers updated about what's going on in the site, and also to offer Blogger news, useful links and other tidbits which I think may be useful to other Bloggers.

You can read more about Twitter and how it can be used on the Twitter information page. If you'd like to receive "tweets" about Blogger Buster, you may want to follow me on Twitter.

QHow can I get updates about new articles when they are published?

AYou can "subscribe" to Blogger Buster to receive news of updates to the site as they are published. There are two different ways you can subscribe: by RSS (in a feed reader) or by signing up for email updates. You can find links to both of these subscription methods in the red navigation bar near the top of the page.

Both of these subscription methods are explained in full on the Subscription Page.

QWhat is the "Recent Readers widget?

AThis widget displays the avatars of recent visitors who are members of the MyBlogLog community, and each avatar links to the member's own profile page which is hosted on the MyBlogLog website.

MyBlogLog can help you build a community around your blog, find other members who are interested in the same things as you, and is a great social networking tool for bloggers.

You can learn more about MyBlogLog by visiting the site, and may also be interested in joining the Blogger Buster community to interact with myself and other people who are interested in using Blogger.

QWhat is "Entrecard"?

AEntrecard is a new phenomenon in the blogging world which allows bloggers and webmasters to advertise on each other's blogs, interact and build relationships with each other, and find other sites of interest to them. "Entrecards" are a little bit like business cards: you can "drop" you card on other blogs (like this one) which can encourage the author to come and visit your site.

Using Entrecard, you can earn points which you may use to purchase ads and other services too.

If you would like to learn more about Entrecard, take a look at the information page on the Entrecard website.
