As some who visit my blog frequently or at least more than once may have noticed I have been busy and there are some changes that have been made.
Okay, I will admit to having added a fair few hacks here, I'm keeping myself occupied and my mind off my mothers health issues.
A good few of the following hacks are what our friends using other platforms have built in, here using the Blogger platform we need to hack the HTML to use them. I know that some people say they don't have a clue, but if you follow the links below and the step-by-step instructions then it's easy. Many thanks goes to the Blogger Hackers who work on making our blogs even better and sharing their efforts with everyone.
Whilst some are obvious, others aren't so I'll just point out what is different.

Whilst some are obvious, others aren't so I'll just point out what is different.
Starting with the obvious;
- There are now tabs at the top of the page, these show the 5 most frequent tags that I use. The hack for this can be found at Hoctro's Place Showing your Blogger Labels as Tabs with Ramani's Tweak your label tabs from Hackosphere giving the 5 most frequent.
- Following from there, when searching my blog via the archive or the tags you will now only see the titles of the posts and a +/- besides them. This allows you to expand and compress each one and hopefully make searching easier by saving you having to scroll through full posts. It means I need to consider titles and tags more. Peek-A-Boo view of posts in label/archive pages is also one of Ramani's.
- You will have noticed already that my longer posts now have a 'read more' link at the end, this is another hack from Hackosphere, Selective Expandable posts.
- Another that will not be so obvious is Author comment highlighting and notification, this hack does as the title suggests and highlights the authors posts in the comments, you can also send the person who you are responding to an email to let them know. Unfortunately it only works if the person has their email in their profile, it still highlights your replies though.

I'm going to have a look at the expandable posts, now whether I'll understand it is a different matter! :-0
It's not that difficult ... Says me who currently has a problem with one of the hacks.
Not the expandable posts one though.
I clicked the link for expandable posts but I don't see any instructions on that site?
