This week, without whatever announcements that I've seen, Blogger added a style drop-down to the carte du jour bar.

I noticed it offset on Th nighttime (UCT) in addition to convey since confirmed that it's inwards both the novel in addition to one-time interfaces.

This small-but-important modify makes it a lot easier to add together SEO friendly "tags" to your blogger content.

If you lot purpose the "header" agency on or in addition to hence text, the HTML behind the post says

<h2>Some text</h2>

in addition to "all" the SEO-gurus tell that using H2's properly is of import to rank good inwards search results.

However using these tags, yesteryear inserting them myself, is something I tried to exercise inwards the past, exactly gave upwards on because of issues amongst how  my posts looked inwards RSS-feed-readers in addition to also for email-subscribers.

So I'm really interested to come across how they work, in addition to how they await for my readers.   And this post is a agency to discovery out.

What exercise they await like?

The heading higher upwards this paragraph is done inwards my usual way, applying the largest size in addition to bold to the text.   And this is or in addition to hence to a greater extent than text to brand the paragraph await fuller, in addition to hence I tin ship away teach a meliorate stance of what the headings await like.

The menu-bar inwards the post editor straight off looks similar this:

This is a heading

The heading higher upwards this paragraph is done amongst the "heading style".   In the post-editor, it makes the heading await similar it's inwards "larger", ie non largest, amongst or in addition to hence extra padding higher upwards in addition to below it.

Notice that it has the same formatting equally my gadget headers in addition to post-date. I don't similar this at all - am waiting to come across if it's something that Blogger changes (or mayhap has already changed, exactly can't apply to my weblog because I've edited the template a lot), or whether I demand to operate out how to assign dissimilar styles to them myself.

And this is or in addition to hence to a greater extent than text to brand the paragraph await fuller, in addition to hence I tin ship away teach a meliorate stance of what the headings await like.And this is or in addition to hence to a greater extent than text to brand the paragraph await fuller, in addition to hence I tin ship away teach a meliorate stance of what the headings await like.  And this is or in addition to hence to a greater extent than text to brand the paragraph await fuller, in addition to hence I tin ship away teach a meliorate stance of what the headings await like.

This is a sub-heading

The heading higher upwards this paragraph is done amongst the "sub-heading style".   In the post-editor, it makes the heading await similar it's inwards "larger", ie non largest, amongst or in addition to hence extra padding higher upwards in addition to below it.

And this is or in addition to hence to a greater extent than text to brand the paragraph await fuller, in addition to hence I tin ship away teach a meliorate stance of what the headings await like.

The heading below this paragraph is done amongst the "minor style".   In the post-editor, it makes the heading await similar it's bold, over again amongst or in addition to hence extra padding higher upwards in addition to below it.

This is a shaver heading

• And this is or in addition to hence to a greater extent than text to brand the paragraph await fuller, in addition to hence I tin ship away teach a meliorate stance of what the headings await like.

What your readers see

That's what I'm trying to discovery out!

I stance virtually doing all this inwards a a exam weblog - where I would convey needed to develop an RSS feed in addition to an email subscription etc.   But that was a lot of work, in addition to I figured that or in addition to hence of my readers mightiness hold upwards interested inwards the results too.

I'll hold upwards looking at this post inwards my ain e-mail in addition to inwards Google Reader.   But if you lot convey whatever feedback on how they await inwards other feedreaders, I'm really dandy to listen how they worked.    Ditto if you lot are reading this through whatever sort of assistive-technology software or enshroud reader.

Why convey Google done this?

Since the novel privacy policy was introduced, there's been a small-but-noticeable deed towards other search engines.    In my blog-statistics, visitor traffic is coming from a wider attain of places.    There's no i winner getting a lot of alternative traffic - in addition to I for sure haven't seen to a greater extent than visitor from Bing or Yahoo!    But I suspect that Google convey decided that a piffling fleck of operate to brand our blogs to a greater extent than Google-SEO friendly would hold upwards a proficient idea.

What's why they announced the diverse options for "customising your search preferences" (which are nada to exercise amongst your search preferences, in addition to everything to exercise amongst how your weblog looks inwards Google search results when other people search.

And I intend it's why they've slipped inwards the agency bar, spell all the blogger helpers are busy trying to empathize the implications of the search-preference change.
