7 - Advanced customisation

After you have created, set up, and changed the layout of your website, the following customisations will improve your website and expand your online presence. They are suitable for writers who are more comfortable working with online tools, or for someone who has become competent with the Blogger platform. The following links bring you to external websites.

• Remove the Blogger logo from the bottom of each page.
• Backup your site or a copy of your theme, if it has been significantly customised.
• Change theme. You’ll probably need to change the layout of your gadgets too.
• Allow readers to be notified of new posts via subscription.
• Add a Text Gadget to Soho theme’s sidebar, where you can add a call to action or some inspirational or mischievous text.
• Add a Contact Form to the sidebar.
• Create a Mailchimp newsletter sign-up.
• Insert a selection of direct links to your social media accounts on the home page.
