Google’s Blogger is the largest blogging platform by far, hosting over 40 million individual blogs. While famous for the many spam blogs or “splogs<\/em>” it hosts, the free service is also used by millions of legitimate bloggers including some well know ones like Google Operating System<\/a>, PostSecret<\/a>, the law blog Althouse<\/a> and Michael Mace’s Mobile Opportunity<\/a>.\u00a0 It’s even used for some big corporate blogs like the official Twitter<\/a> and Alexa blogs<\/a> and all of Google own blogs such as the Official Google Blog<\/a> and the YouTube<\/a>, Gmail<\/a>, Android Developers<\/a> and Google Mobile<\/a> blogs.<\/p>\n
It looks like Google has fixed that with a new mobile option that was quietly rolled out<\/a> last month. Here’s how to enable it on your Blogger blog.<\/p>\n
Go to Blogger In Draft<\/em> at draft.blogger.com<\/a> and log in with your Google account. Blogger In Draft is Blogger’s Beta or Labs site where new features are initially made available for public beta testing. Changes made using the Drafts interface apply to your live Blogger blog.<\/p>\n
So far not many Blogger publishers, not even most of the official Google blogs, have enabled the mobile templates. A couple that have are Blogger’s own Blogger Buzz<\/a> (images below) and Blogger Buster<\/a>, a 3rd party site covering Blogger.<\/p>\n
Interestingly the ?m=1 trick works even with blogs that haven’t enabled mobile templates, for example; mobileopportunity.blogspot.com\/?m=1<\/a><\/p>\n

(Replace “YourBloggerURL.com<\/em>” with your actual Blogger URL).<\/p>\n
