Well, it's already week 3 of uni. We're given two options this week to choose between beginner or advance level of blogger.
The reason why I choose Option 1 is because it has been a while since I last blogged.
Option 1
1. Follow / subscribe
Basically what is means is that I subscribe to a particular blog, I could get update on their recent post. Blogspot has this feature where you could add a blog you wish to subscribe and it will just appear in your dashboard every time you login to Blogspot. To read more, you could also click on the Title at the Dashboard and it will direct you to the blog. Example, I subscribe to http://346class13.blogspot.com.au/ and any future post, I will be notified in my Dashboard and it makes it so much easier that I wouldn't need to remember the link to the website.

2. Chatbox
When I use to blog, there was this thing that was really popular which was having a chatbox at your blog. It is to ease your readers to actually just input their comment or having a chat with your readers. Blogspot comment feature is useful but what if there's someone who doesn't have a blogger account that wants to comment? Chatbox is the right feature to add on to your blog.

3. Live Traffic Feed
It is a feature that enables you to find out where do your blog got accessed from like different part of the world. It's like a demographic feature that you could add on to your blog.

4. Online Poll
This is the fun part in a blog. Back in those days, my friends and I like to insert a online poll. This enables the blogger and readers to have some interactive activity. Not only that it allows readers to actually understand reader's choice or decision. I have to admit that this online poll feature is actually really fun when you have so many readers as you may never know what is the final result is until you close the voting session.

5. Labels
Before Twitter and Facebook existed, Blogger use to have this feature called "Label" while as these days we known it as "Hashtags". At the very end of each post, we could insert different labels that could you to describe the post or to make it sound more interesting. At the end of our day, if we would like to search for "happy" all post regarding that keyword will appear.

Those features mention above are the TOP 5 blogging feature that I would recommend to all bloggers out there who would want make their blog a little more interesting.
Before I go, here's a fun tip for everyone.
