Quick Edit links
One of the changes I have made to this site (one which you guys can't see) is I have added Quick Edit links. If you have a blog spot or Blogger account, I would definitely use these. They are really easy to install too. Basically this is what they do according to blogger: Quick Edit links give you quick and direct access to edit your posts after they've been published. You probably know the scenario well—you publish a long post, then start proof reading it on your blog. You find a mistake, so you go back to Blogger's Edit Posts page, locate the post and fix/republish it. You continue proof reading, find another mistake, and on and on. Quick Edit links take you directly to the post in Blogger, bypassing (most of) the process described previously. Basically you will see a small pencil icon and you can edit your posts directly from that. You can't see it but I can. Here is what I see:
There are only 3 things to remember:
1) To enable them, set Show Quick Editing on your Blog? to Yes in the Settings | Basic tab in Blogger.
2) You must have the <$BlogMetaData$> tag in your Template's "head" section.
3) You must have the <$BlogItemControl$> tag wherever you want the Quick Edit links to appear. I have mine in my "posted by" and "permalink" line (as you can see now :-)
Hope this helps.....
