A Few Blogger Hints

• When you're editing a post, you can change the date and time of the post by changing the values below the text entry area. This even works after you've already posted it. You can change the order of your posts in the archive page by changing their dates (but you can't reliably determine the order for posts on the same date)


• You can enter some posts in advance and save them as drafts instead of publishing them. Then, when you have a bad day and you're too tired to type anything, you can just bring up a saved draft, tweak the date and time and publish it. (I published drafts like this once or twice, but I don't have a lot of experience with them.)


• You can enter lists like this, with "bullets" and indented items, using the HTML tags for lists, as demonstrated below:

How you enter it:

<ul>
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2</li>
<li>Item 3</li>
</ul>

How it looks:

• Item 1


• Item 2


• Item 3

The UL tag starts an un-numbered list (/UL ends it). The LI and /LI tags start and end each list item. Easy, no?
