How do I reduce posts on label pages?

2008-02-05T12:12:00.000+01:00

If I click on a label in my blog:
c-salsa.blogspot.com

I have approx. 20 posts and I only want 5 posts because the blog is getting to slowly.

I found this link and tried it for the default label lists:
How to control the number of posts displayed in label pages
Result: It works... look here: c-salsa.blogspot.com

Short sum up:
- Go to Template/Edit HTML
- Backup the template with: Download full template
- Check the box: Expand widget templates
- Search: data:label.url
- Replace it with: data:label.url + "?max-results=n"
- Replace the n with the amount of posts you want to see (I took 5)
- You have to replace it whereever you can find it (in my case 3 times)
- Save template
- Done :-)

I tried to change my Blogger domain name:
c-salsa.blogspot.com

to my custom domain:
c-salsa.com

So I clicked on Settings/Publishing/Custom Domain/Switch to advanced settings
entered my domain and Saved settings.

The error message is:
Another blog is already hosted at this address.

To be fair... i made a mistake before. I bought 2 different domains through one blogger domain. So, don't do that. If you want to buy a domain for your blog (c-salsa.com for c-salsa.blogspot.com) you won't have any problems.

Here is the solution for Enom Users who never have changed anything in their DNS records.

1. Go to "https://www.google.com/a/yourname.com" and sign in with your username and password.
2. Go to the Dashboard and delete the Website Service.
3. Go to the Dashboard and add the Websites Service.
4. Click on Websites / Click on Change Url and enter http://www.yourdomain.com
5. Create a simple Google Page on that domain and publish it.

Don't be scared... anything happens to your existing blog.

6. Go to the Dashboard and delete Websites.

Yes. you have to do it again.

7. Go to your Blog on Blogger.com to /Settings/Publishing/Custom domain/Switch to advanced settings... and enter your domain and save it. Nothing else.

Google says you have to wait 30 minutes for a DNS catch up. (I didn't have to wait, not even a minute.)

8. Click View Blog

Here is the solution for Enom Users (Long Version):

1. Go to "https://www.google.com/a/yourname.com" and sign in with your username and password.
2. Go to Domain Settings / Domain Name /Extended DNS Settings /Sign in to DNS Console
3. Change all to default by clicking edit under DNS Information and checking the checkbox to default.

My settings were still on default because I never changed them and they were looking like this. The host records are important.
Host Records:
Host name: @ Address: ghs.google.com. Record type CNAME (Alias)
Host name: calendar Address: ghs.google.com. Record type CNAME (Alias)
Host name: docs Address: ghs.google.com. Record type CNAME (Alias)
Host name: mail Address: ghs.google.com. Record type CNAME (Alias)
Host name: start Address: ghs.google.com. Record type CNAME (Alias)
Host name: www Address: ghs.google.com. Record type CNAME (Alias)

The www host name is the most important.

4. Save and Logout from Enom
5. Go back to No. 1 (the window should be still opened)
6. Go to the Dashboard and delete the Website Service.
7. Go to the Dashboard and add the Websites Service.
8. Click on Websites / Click on Change Url and enter http://www.yourdomain.com
9. Create a simple Google Page on that domain and publish it.

Don't be scared... anything happens to your existing blog.

10. Go to the Dashboard and delete Websites.

Yes. you have to do it again.

11. Go to your Blog on Blogger.com to /Settings/Publishing/Custom domain/Switch to advanced settings... and enter your domain and save it. Nothing else.

Google says you have to wait 30 minutes for a DNS catch up. (I didn't have to wait, not even a minute.)

12. Click View Blog

You have no idea how good it feels. :-)
