Public Service Announcement 1.05: Collapsing Your Archive

I've had a few emails and comments in the past few weeks asking for more Blogger tips, so I'm going to post a couple more things this weekend. Not to worry, though, there will be an Alexis-centric post at some point. It's not like I can go more than a few minutes without talking about her, you know.

Deb asked me how to change a blog archive to a drop-down list. I don't know when it happened, but you can now do that through standard Blogger functionality (at one time, you had to download an add-on to do it). Here are the steps:

1. Log into blogger.
2. Go to Layout.
3. Find Blog Archive in your sidebar. Click the Edit link.
4. Change the style to Dropdown Menu.
5. Change other options as desired.
6. Click Save Changes.

Not so tough, right?

  1. I don't know when they added it either. It's been a while since I looked but I don't rememeber seeing it. Of course, I could have just missed it. Thanks for answering my question!

  4. When my list gets out of control, I'll be sure to do this. What? It already is? Guess I should do it then.

  7. After trying to help AFF with some stuff on Wordpress, I'm really turned off. It's that thing where I don't think I should have to pay for anything.

    Besides, Colleen, you cheat and use Justin!

  8. Argh! There's a problem with my Layout and I can't see all the way down to the Archives. It seems as though it's a common problem. :(

  9. When you start talking like this, all I hear is "Blah.Blah.Blah". So, really I just dropped by to say, I hope you are having a great weekend!
