New Blogger Views feature is cool, may be useful

By Vasudev Ram - www.dancingbison.com

Google's Blogger site recently introduced this new feature called Blogger Views.

I had enabled it then but did not try it out much. Now I've tried it out a bit more, and it seems to be a cool feature and also may be useful to blog readers.

You can check out my blog with Blogger Views here:

The view defaults to the Sidebar view, but there is a dropdown at the top to change it (*); 5 different types of views are supported: Flipcard, Mosaic, Sidebar, Snapshot and Timeslide. I don't like all of them equally - one or two of them have distracting animations which I wish were not there, but overall, Blogger Views seems an innovative feature.

The feature is still new and does seem to have a bug or two.

(*) If you prefer typing to using the mouse, you can go to any view by using a URL of the format:

base_blog_URL/view/view_name

E.g.:

http://jugad2.blogspot.com/view/sidebar

or

Enjoy ...
