Blogger Hacks
Once you’ve worked with Blogger for a while and have become comfortable with it, you may wonder what else you can do with it. There are a number of Blogger Hacks you can implement to further customize your blog. Read and follow the provided instructions carefully, and do remember to backup your template before you begin.

Adding Categories
One hack I’ve used is adding Categories to Blogger. Categories organize your posts by topic, which can make it easier for you and your readers to locate specific information quickly. Note: The ability to use categories in a blog is not currently directly supported by Blogger, but there are ways to do this. I’ve written a tutorial for one way to add categories to your blog, using De.licio.us, a social bookmarking service. Another method of doing Categories is found on the Virtual Scratchpad blog by Matthew Sheffield. Here's the direct link for his tutorial.

The categories hack using De.licio.us proved a challenge for me to implement, but with practice and help from a few fine bloggers, it was successfully done.

Speaking of De.licio.us: If you decide to use this service, check out the Absolutely Delicious Complete Tool Kit; this site is frequently updated, so you may want to bookmark it for future reference.

The Team Blog: Let’s say your blog is for a company or business. Perhaps there is a need for more than one person to work on or post to a blog. With Blogger’s Team Blogs, this is not a problem. Here are answers to several questions related to Team Blogs.
