What to do with All my Old Blogger Blogs? Created New Templates –> Maybe some Adsense Content too…
Years ago, I created a LOT of Blogger blogs. Some of you may recall 
that this particular site started out as a blogger blog too.
When I first set them up, I was basically just looking for an html playground to fool around and learn more about web design.
Then I started learning a great deal about blogging with them.
Before you know it, I had graduated to CMS based sites powered by WordPress and all of a sudden I found myself with all of these old Blogger blogs under my account.
Most of them are languishing, but they do prove useful from time to time when I need to use a shot gun approach to the long tail that still remains. 
Well tonight, I took a very small first step in doing something with those old sites.
I started by doing what I always like to do best, Learn Something New.
This time, I was learning how to design Blogger Templates (like a wordpress theme) using my preferred design software, Artisteer. (If you want a 5% discount on it, follow me on twitter @brettbum and shoot me an @message and I will send you a code for a discount, which can save you about $5 – $10 off of a license.
Anyway, I started making Blogger Templates and updating 2-3 of the blogs that are still loaded up with content. (Some of the content I just deleted or consolidated into other sites, like this one.)
It was kind of fun.
Now, I’m even thinking about quickly creating unique blogger templates for all of my old Blogger Bogs and maybe refreshing some of the content there for a simple, basic adsense play. Nothing grand, but if it buys me a free dinner once a year and continues to enable me to blast the long tail shotgun from time to time too, well that’s just icing on the cake.
Just a quick note, I took some screen video of the process making these templates which I will share soon.
