Tip: Making a Google Doc submission form email you the results

In an earlier article we detailed how you can use Google Docs to create a submission form in your website. Step 5 of that article showed how you can be notified whenever a new submission is made; the only trouble with this is that it sends you a notice email that makes you then go back to the Google Docs spreadsheet to view the new submission... not the most user-friendly experience!

The script and instructions below advance the Google Docs submission form functionality so that it automatically emails you (or all of the form editors) the contents of the submission.

Blogger Template: BoyBurnsBlog (free!)

Today we're proud to provide, free for download, our first Blogger Template for mass use, BoyBurnsBlog (named after our amazing designer even though he didn't design it). Don't forget to check out a list of all of our other templates as well!

This template was developed based on the Simple template with the goal of providing a clean, minimalist template that is good for short blog posts and photo blogging, utilizing JQuery Masonry to give it a non-linear lineup of posts.

Tip: A better automatic thumbnail and summary script for Blogger

When we first started creating custom websites using Blogger, one of the first real script needs that we ran up against was the need for an automatic thumbnail and read more function, one where you could set the size of the thumbnails and the word count of the summary. This was before Blogger added jump breaks, but also allowed you to slip a thumbnail in there even if the image was later in the post.
