Google has been making constant changes and adding new features to their products. It’s been a few years since Google made any major updates to Blogger’s look and feel.
Throughout the design process, Google conducted user interviews to help identify how to make Blogger even easier and more enjoyable to use. Google also watched users trying out new Blogger interface and made many refinements based on the user’s feedback.
After introducing the new Blogger Interface, the next phase of the Blogger updates that was released is seven new ways to display Blogger blog, called Dynamic Views.
Dynamic Views is much more than just new templates. With just a couple clicks, you’ll get endless scrolling thus putting an end to “Older posts” link, images that load as you browse, integrated search, sorting by date, label and author, light box-style posts for easy viewing, keyboard shortcuts for quickly flipping through posts, and one-click sharing to Google+ and other social sites on every post.
7 Dynamic Views available on Blogger are Classic, Flipcard, Magazine, Mosaic, Sidebar, Snapshot and Timeslide.
If there are lots of photos on your blog, you may prefer Flipcard or Snapshot view. If your blog has more of text then Classic, Sidebar or Timeslide dynamic view may be preferable.
Adding a Dynamic View to blogger blog is as easy as changing your template. Log in to Blogger account –> click on the Template tab present on the dashboard –> Select the view whichever you want to set as your default –> Click on the button “Apply to Blog” to save the view. Take a look at the Blogging Movies Blog, to view how different Dynamic view of Blogger blog work or looks like.
Note that readers can still choose to navigate your blog in a different view by selecting from the pulldown in the upper left of the screen.
Several other official Google blogs will be featuring Dynamic Views through the weeks and months ahead, including the Gmail Blog, LatLong Blog and Docs Blog. Google is happy to bring Dynamic Views into the fold and it is looking at how to incorporate this new technology across Google’s blog network in the long term.
