==Request Hacks==
+
-
 
+
-
Do you want a particular feature for your blog? Are you pretty sure that it is possible? Add a new section to this page describing your requirements in detail and linking to examples, or to the site that you'd like to edit. I can't promise that your need will be met, but I hope to guarantee that it will be seen by people who can help.
+
-
 
+
-
To help the community to understand what you're looking for, please include:
+
-
 
+
-
1. A full description of the feature that you're looking for.
+
-
 
+
-
2. An explanation of the purpose.
+
-
 
+
-
3. A link to your blog, or to any other resources / examples that you want to use.
+
-
 
+
-
The more detail you are able to provide, the more likely it is that another user will be able to assist you.

==Have The Last Word==
+
-
 
+
-
As a blogger, I welcome a large number of comments on my controversial posts. Being opinionated, I like to have the last word too. While I monitor discussions, keeping track of whether or not each post is "open" (ie I haven't had the final say) is difficult.
+
-
 
+
-
I'd like a tool that will provide me with a list of my posts that have comments where the last one wasn't written by me, along with the contents of the last comment and a link to the appropriate comment editing page for that post.
+
-
 
+
-
I imagine I could go to a page, enter a URL and my blogger name, then click a button. The results page would consist of a list of links and comments. Dates might be nice too. It wouldn't need to be integrated into my blog, be very stylish or even reliable, since it's just a tool I could check periodically when feeling bored.
+
-
 
+
-
It might have an option to show only posts where I have commented but I am ''not'' the last commenter. This would be handy for blogs that I don't own, but comment on frequently.
+
-
 
+
-
The building blocks for such a solution might include:
+
-
 
+
-
* "My comments blog" (HTML) via [[Comment Feed Using Another Blog]]
+
-
* "My comments feed" (RSS) via above
+
-
* [http://www.ts0.com/bloggercomments/ Thom's] [[Comment Feed using remote parser]]

==Hide sidebar previous posts on some recent posts==
+
-
'''Description:'''
+
-
As I use the Blogger navigation in my sidebar myself a lot, so I have added the 'previous' Blogger template code to the main archive and both a 'previous' and 'recent'(using Social bookmarks javascript linkroll) section to item pages sidebars so I'm sure I can access all my posts easily.
+
-
 
+
-
'''Problem:'''
+
-
This works fine on old posts but on the first newer posts (item pages) they both show nearly the same links, so I would like to hide the 'recent' sidebar block, on say, the the first 3 new posts.

== Sending email notification to ALL contributors when a posting or a comment is added ==
+
-
 
+
-
'''Description'''
+
-
 
+
-
We are a team who uses a blog to submit ideas and propose solutions to each other.
+
-
 
+
-
'''The Problem'''
+
-
 
+
-
So far we have not yet found a suitable and easy way to get all the contributors in the blog notified when a posting or a comment is submitted. 
+
-
We have looked at the settings and found that as regards postings it only allows the individual submitting a posting to receive notification and as regards comments, only the administrator to receive notification.
+
-
In both instances only one email address is allowed in the field.
+
-
 
+
-
'''A solution'''
+
-
 
+
-
Anybody with enough technical expertise [which we inthe blog do not have] could try and guide us towards a solution?
+

The blog in question is: http://edtf.blogspot.com

Thanks for your help.

Max: May I suggest a comment feed? These are standard in Blogger beta, but there are plenty of versions that will work for regular blogger. One possible solution... use the blogger comment notification e-mail address to post new comments to a specially set-up google group, the have all of your team members join the group. They'll be able to get notice of the updates by e-mail, or use a feedreader to subscribe to the group's feed. See [http://blogfresh.blogspot.com/2005/12/another-comment-feed-hack.html Freshblog] for more info.

'''Description:'''
+
-
i'm trying to make a blog for my phd research and i want to make it like a webpage but with the perks of the blogger. so i'd like to have a fixed intro page with a description of my research and then use the labels to divide the blog into relevant areas similar to a webpage. right now i've added the tab label hack from hackosphere.
+
-
 
+
-
'''Problem:'''
+
-
i just need a simple way to have one post permanently displayed when someone loads the blog and then they can click on the labels/tabs to see the rest of the blog like a webpage.

'''Solution'''
+
-
 
+
-
at least a possible solution.... Check out [http://blogfresh.blogspot.com/2006/08/expand-collapse-categories-with.html Caramuel's category hack]. This hack allows you to categorise your content, but also allows you to force the display of a given category when your main page loads.... So, put your intro / sticky post in its own category, then force that category to load as the default....

Ramani of [http://www.hackosphere.blogspot.com/ Hackosphere] uses it on his blog. You can see it in action [http://hackosphere.blogspot.com/2006/09/tweak-your-label-tabs.html#comment-4855462521027722202 here.] I just don't know how to do it.
