BuzzBoost used to allow you to embed a dynamic RSS feed into an HTML page. <br /><br />This post has a good summary of the problem and offers some solutions. (We haven't dug into the solutions in any great depth yet.)<br /><br />For those of you who would like to see an example of the functionality being discussed, look under the "Recently on the blog" header over at CanadasMagic.comCanada's Magichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06072987021622281260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874282079821965484.post-67436177597490292782021-05-20T15:33:12.897-04:002021-05-20T15:33:12.897-04:00I have been playing around with MailChimp and Moos...I have been playing around with MailChimp and Moosend. I am leaning towards Moosend as it meets my needs, free service is satisfying my requirements. Also, no Moosend advertising in my campaigns!Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10577082872255166906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874282079821965484.post-4692706483366988832021-05-07T20:45:52.736-04:002021-05-07T20:45:52.736-04:00In term of text editor on mobile, yes, I think it ...In term of text editor on mobile, yes, I think it is better, because in the past I need to zoom in zoom out the screen when making a post on the mobile. However on the desktop, I feel it become more difficult.

I can also embed that subscription box into my main blog page or inside individual posts, but it's a little big so I'm okay with sending people to a standalone page. With the paid plan, I believe I can use my custom domain on that page. Paid plans also offer a pop-up option.<br /><br />You should have received a free preview newsletter just for subscribing.

It was a post for blogging contest in the past.<br /><br />Now I realized that Blogger has changed a lot that it becomes more difficult to perform some tasks.<br /><br />I think what the users actually need the most is only the responsiveness of the editor so we can write using mobile phone, not more change than that and no need to fix something that is not broken.<br /><br />Beside the responsiveness of the editor, I would be happy to have more default themes. No need hundreds, 5 or 10 new default themes is enough I guess.<br /><br />Now the subscribe-by-email feature will be stopped, I wonder what will happen to Blogger in the near future.Iqbalhttps://dekat.pagenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874282079821965484.post-45263044741109304952021-05-01T15:48:10.454-04:002021-05-01T15:48:10.454-04:00Yes!
