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 proofreading 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 proofreading, 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.
Quick Edit links work their magic using cookies,
so they only appear if you're signed in to your Google Account. Therefore, no
one else sees them except you. To enable them, go to the Layout tab on your
blog, and select “Edit” under the Blog post widget.
From there, check the box for "Show
Quick Editing."
Here's what Quick Edit links look like:
Enjoy!
(if they're acting funny for some
reason, read on for some technical tidbits...)
·
If you're using a classic template, you must
have the <$BlogMetaData$> tag in your template's <head> section,
and the <$BlogItemControl$> tag wherever you want the Quick Edit links to
appear. We suggest somewhere in your "Posted by" line.
·
CSS files are aggressively cached for
performance reasons. This means you may have to reload or even super-reload
(with the Shift key) to make links appear/disappear after you sign in or out.
If you're signed out, you’ll still be prompted to sign back in.
·
Edit links on your own blog will only work if
your browser is sending the referrer to Blogger, and if your blog URL's host is
the same as the referrer host.
·
Finally, some more intense security settings
will not send cookies to hosts other than the main one. This means your session
cookie won't get sent to Blogger.com if you're looking at a blog, and the edit
link won't show up.
