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.
I would like to import to Blogger all the fonts that I have available in my word processor, especially Greek and Hebrew fonts. Currently I can find no way to import those fonts.

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
- Thom's Comment Feed using remote parser
- Ramani's Archive Browser
- Ramani's One-click Notification
Any takers?

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.
Link: The blog in question.
Any idea how I could do that?
Thanks, it's a great idea this wiki! Ycc2106 07:04, 24 July 2006 (EDT)
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 Freshblog for more info.
