For any bloggers who use Blogger, here is a little tip you might not have known…
If you have a test blog (which you should – it makes practicing and updating your template much easier!) you probably don’t want to have it included in your profile page.
Here are the very simple steps to hide it….
Go to your Dashboard and choose EDIT PROFILE
Then click on the link to Select Blogs to Display:
then choose which blog you want the world to know about…
Notice that I have a whole secret life with three other blogs that you won’t see when you come to my profile (I could tell you what they are about, but then I’d have to kill you).
Following these simple steps will make it so much easier for your new readers! It’s always nice to keep things tidy, don’t you agree? (just don’t look in my laundry room)
By the way, while you’re there, you should strongly consider checking off this box too…
(Darcy will give you the reasons why)

Sharon, I've been enjoying your blog. Thanks for the tips. Can you help me understand what you mean by a "test" blog?
Excellent tips! I also secretly wish you had told people to turn off word verification!
Very good tip! I have about 4 test blogs, I'm glad I could hide them
Great tips! I am wondering if you would be able to help me with a little problem I am having. I just started another blog for my little business and it shows with my regular blog that I have. My business cards have my "Bee's Knees" address on it so I cant change the address and I don't really want to change my regular one as I may lose people. Is there a way I can keep both but as my business cards will be in the public I don't necessarily want them to have access to my personal blog. Geez does that even make sense???
Thanks for any suggestions- btw I found you via Wed that works for me-

Nice trick! I'm putting this one to use now.
Great tip! I don't know how I stumbled upon that tip as well, but I was so glad when I did. I also have test blogs, so it's nice to be able to hide them.
I had no idea – thanks for posting this!
It is rather interesting for me to read that article. Thanx for it. I like such themes and everything connected to this matter. I would like to read a bit more soon.
