Add Music to Blogspot blog 2007-02-25 16:05:00 “Music
, the greatest good that mortals know,And all of heaven we have below.” ... Joseph AddisonDepending on the subject matter of your blog, having music played in the background may either enhance the pleasure of reading or annoy your visitor. Imagine the agony of surfing the web in discreet, only to catch the attention of your office colleagues or parents when the music automatically blasts off in the background. Not to mention, a big music file may cause a slower page download. Nevertheless, the solution, as shall be explained later, is simple - have an option for the reader to play or stop the music.To begin, you will need to have a music file uploaded onto a server. You can read the article on uploading files onto free web hosts like Google Pages and Google Groups. Upon uploading, note down the URL of the file.Alternatively, there are several sites that offer free download of their music files. You can enter search words like “free music download” or search for a po Read more:Add Music
Using Google Page Creator and Google Groups 2007-02-24 19:30:00 If you are looking to have a Favicon (icon next to your URL) or music on your blog, you will need to upload the files onto a web host. Most bloggers do not register and pay for a .com site. Fortunately for us, there are many sites offering free hosting of your files, documents, photos, and so on. I shall cover 2 very useful free web hosts which you can consider using – Google
Page Creator and Google Groups
.Google Page CreatorYou can use your Gmail account to access the available services offered by Google. Google Page Creator is an easy-to-use free tool that lets you create web pages in your browser and publish them to the web with just one click. It works on a what-you-see-is-what-you-get format. Everything is done on the screen and you do not need to download any software. Pretty much like a simpler version of Pagemaker or other web design tools. The pages you create are hosted on Google servers and your own page will be at http://yourname.googlepages.com.Once you are in it
Submit Blogger URL sitemap to Yahoo! 2007-02-11 19:14:00 Publicize your site by having your Blogger
.com or Blogspot.com blog site included in Yahoo
! Directory and Yahoo! Search. I went to the official Yahoo! submission of URL page and clicked the link “Submit
Your Site for Free”. You will be prompted to log in using your Yahoo! account. For those of you who do not have a Yahoo! account, simply sign up for one. It is Free.After you have your Yahoo! account, and are logged in, you will see this screen.Select “Submit Site Feed” and enter the URL of your Blog's site feed. You can use either:-http://YOURBLOGNAME.blogspot.com/rss.xml ORhttp://YOURBLOGNAME.blogspot.com/atom.xml Remember to replace YOURBLOGNAME with that of your Blog's. Once the Sitemaps are submitted, click the “Authentication” link shown at the top right hand corner of the page.You will now have to authenticate your site ownership with Yahoo!, by either uploading a verification file to your site, or adding a META tag to your site. The authentication via a Read more:Submit Blogger
Submit Blogger sitemap to Google Webmaster 2007-02-11 18:58:00 Submitting your Blogger
.com or Blogspot.com blog site to GoogleWebmaster
will enable Google to find, index, and rank your site. For those who are new to this, you may go to the official Google Webmaster Tools site to create a new Webmaster profile.Upon logging in using your Gmail account, key in your blog site URL, and click OK. You will then be asked to verify your site. This is to ascertain that you are indeed the owner of the site.There are two ways to verify your site. You can either add a Meta Tag or Upload an HTML file. If you are using the Meta Tag method, Google will generate a Meta Tag code. Copy the META tag that is generated for you, and paste it in your site's home page in the first section of the page, before the first section. What you do is to go to your Blogger dashboard. Under Template ->Edit HTML, somewhere near the top of the script, add the Meta Tag as follows:- <head><META TAG> <b:include data='http://tips-for-new-bloggers.blogspot.com/ Read more:Submit

JavaScript for Quote of the Day 2007-02-10 15:56:00 If you are wondering whether I manually add a Quote
of the Day, the answer is no. I have used a simple JavaScript
to display a new Quote everyday. There are a few JavaScript codes written by several people - some make you pay to buy their program, while others allow you to tap on to their Quotes database. I was looking for something simple, and unfortunately a number of those I found online do not work.In the end, I looked up books and came up with a simple JavaScript which stores quotes and authors in a format called “arrays”. I keyed in 31 quotes and the script will display a new quote every day of the month.If you would like to add one, go to Template ->Page Elements and click “Add a Page Element” to the place you want your Quote of the Day to appear. Add a "HTML/JavaScript".The JavaScript I have used for the Quote of the Day you see in this site is as follows:-<!-- http://tips-for-new-bloggers.blogspot.com/ --> <table border="1" cellpadding=&q
Add Images or Icons to Sidebar links 2007-02-10 13:57:00 Sidebars are sometimes crowded with lots of text. There are many ways to make some of the items stand out. In my case, I decided that I will add icons next to the links
, to differentiate links from normal text. I will also draw a thin line after each link. To be consistent, the color of these lines shall be the border color.First, scout around for a picture that you would like to use. In this site, I have used an arrow image. You can use any photo editing software to reduce the image size to about 9px x 9px; I used Google's Photo Editing Software Picasa.I login to my Blogger dashboard, and under Template ->Page Element, I uploaded this small image file. Once uploaded, I refreshed my blog page. Right-click on the image to view it, and copy or save the URL of the image file. You can delete the picture after that.Go back to “Template” tab and click “Edit HTML”. Scroll to look for the following lines:-.sidebar ul { list-style:none; margin:0 0 0; padding:0 0 0;}.sideba Read more:Images

Add Blogger search box 2007-02-09 19:17:00 The Google Navigation bar at the top of your Blogger
blogs has an embedded search box
. However, you may want to include a similar box in the main body of your blog (like what I have done), or the sidebar. Other than the convenience for users, the added advantage is that unlike Google search box, the search results of this Blogger.com search box appear in the main body of your Blog.Under Template->Page Elements tab, click “Add a Page Element” at the place where you want your search box to appear. Select “HTML/JavaScript”.There are several HTML codes posted on the net. I tried a few, and found the one that works as follows:-<p align="left"> <form action="http://tips-for-new-bloggers.blogspot.com//YOUR BLOG URL/search" method="get"> <strong>NAME OF YOUR BLOG<br/></strong> <input maxlength="255" name="q" size="20" type="text"/> <input value="Search" type="submit"/> </form></p> Remember to change
Three Columns Blogger Template 2007-02-09 18:32:00 The typical “Minima” template that I started off with has only one sidebar. I have added a third column to the left, to make it two sidebars. This maximizes the space, and allows greater flexibility in adding page elements to the sidebar.First, go to “Template” tab and click “Edit HTML”. Scroll to the part where you see this:-#outer-wrapper { width: 660px; margin:0 auto; padding:10px; text-align:left; font: $bodyfont; } #main-wrapper { width: 410px; float: left; word-wrap: break-word; /* fix for long text breaking sidebar float in IE */ overflow: hidden; /* fix for long non-text content breaking IE sidebar float */ } #sidebar-wrapper { width: 220px; float: right; word-wrap: break-word; /* fix for long text breaking sidebar float in IE */ overflow: hidden; /* fix for long non-text content breaking IE sidebar float */ }The template defines 3 wrap Read more:Blogger

Background image for Blogger Header 2007-02-09 17:15:00 Should you wish to use an image as a background to your Header (just like the one you see above), get an appropriate image and crop it to size, about 660x150 pixels. A photo editing software like Google's Photo Editing Software Picasa or Photoshop would do the trick.After that, upload the image to your blog. Click “Add a Page Element” under Template tab, and upload your image. It doesn't matter where you upload it, because you are going to delete it soon. However, make sure you leave the “Shrink to Fit” box unchecked. Once it is uploaded, refresh your Blog page. You should see your nice image. Right click to view the image in a new screen. Block copy the URL of the image location. You can temporarily paste it onto a Notepad or Word document.Next, go back to “Edit HTML” under Template tab. Scroll to where these lines appear:-#header-wrapper { width:660px; margin:0 auto 10px; border:1px solid $bordercolor; Add immediately after that the followi Read more:Blogger
Change Blogger Header background color 2007-02-09 16:55:00 To change the background
color of the Header, first determine what color you would like to have. You may look at the HTML Color Chart for the colors you can experiment with. For example, if you have decided on a color code #B38481, go to Template and click “Edit HTML”. Scroll to the part where you see this:-#header-wrapper { width:660px; margin:0 auto 10px; border:1px solid $bordercolor; Add right after this an extra line:- background:#B38481; Save the template and refresh your Blog site. You may have to change the Header and description font colors. Simply go back to the “Fonts and Colors” tab, and change accordingly. Read more:Blogger

If you cannot find the color you want, you may want to copy the appropriate hex codes of the colors below, and paste them into the “color hex code” box and press Enter. Try out different combinations, and change them as and when you like.HTML Color Code ChartCOLOR NAMECODECOLORBlack#000000 Grey0#150517 Grey18#250517 Grey21#2B1B17 Grey23#302217 Grey24#302226 Grey25#342826 Grey26#34282C Grey27#382D2C Grey28#3b3131 Grey29#3E3535 Grey30#413839 Grey31#41383C Grey32#463E3F Grey34#4A4344 Grey35#4C4646 Grey36#4E4848 Grey37#504A4B Grey38#544E4F Grey39#565051 Grey40#595454 Grey41#5C5858 Grey42#5F5A59 Grey43# Read more:Codes

Adding Favicon icon to Blogger URL 2007-02-09 14:57:00 Have you wondered how these little icons appear next to the web addresses, like the one you see above? When you visit the sites or bookmark them, these icons will make these URLs stand out. These are “Favicons” or “Favorite Icons”.You would first need to have an icon which you would like to use, bearing the extension .ico format. If you search your hard disk, you might find some icons which are generic. I would suggest that you create one to represent your own unique identity. There are quite a number of free icon editor software which you can download from the net.As for myself, I went to Download.com site, and downloaded a very small program called Imagicon which can transform images into .ico format. I created an image using Photoshop. You can use any image or pictures if you do not wish to create one. Next, run the program. It is rather simple to use. While you can create icons in 2 sizes – 16x16 and 32x32 – I would think a 16x16 icon is preferable since it is Read more:Blogger

Add Page Element to Blogger Header and Blog Posts 2007-02-09 13:19:00 In the standard “Minima” template, you would notice under “Page Element
s” that there are options to add a Page Element to the sidebar and the footer. However, there is none for the Header and Blog Posts. Having a Page Element option to these latter two is useful. You may want to add a picture at the top, or a Google Adsense ad at the top or bottom of your blog posts.To have an “Add a Page Element” option, under “Template”, click “Edit HTML”. Scroll down and towards the bottom, you will see these lines:-<div > <b:section maxwidgets='1' showaddelement='no'>Change them to this:-<div > <b:section maxwidgets='3' showaddelement='yes'>This will give you 2 more page elements that you can add to your Header.Right after that are these lines:-<div > <b:section showaddelement='no'>Change them to this:-<div > <b:section showaddelement='yes'>You are now able to add Page Elements either before or afte Read more:Blogger
Language Translation Flags and Script 2007-03-16 16:11:00 This tutorial explains how you can add a script to allow readers to view your site in other foreign languages. As you can see on the right of this page, a reader needs only to click the relevant country flag to read this site contents in his preferred language.English is not the most popular language in the world. In fact, according to many reports, the Chinese language (Mandarin) is certainly the most widely spoken language. In the internet community, the other popular language platforms are arguably Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Portuguese, Malay, Italian, French, Japanese, and Korean.If you have a blog written in English, it therefore makes much sense to be able to reach out to the non-English speaking population as well. There are several online translation tools, the popular free tools being AltaVista's Babel Fish translation and Google's Language Translator. WorldLingo is no longer a recommended tool, as the website translator has a translation limit of 500 words, beyond which Read more:Translation
Add Digg button to Blogger or Blogspot 2007-03-18 12:56:00 Automatic Count and Vote ButtonThis is a step-by-step guide to automatically place a real-time Digg
count and vote button
to every single blog post. Digg is a social content website where your readers or you can submit content to. If you have a good story, members will 'digg' the post and write comments. As a blog owner, you may want to make it easy for and encourage your readers to submit and digg your articles.Before you do that though, you would want to take note of the following:-1. Your blog should be set to save Post Pages. Post Pages are archived blog posts published to their own web page. Each post will have a unique URL, which is required by Digg for the individual posts to be submitted. To verify or enable it, login to your Blogger
Dashboard. Under Settings-> Archiving, set the “Enable Post Pages?” to “Yes” and save the settings.2. This template hack will put a Digg button to every post. You are therefore not able to choose which post you want to include or e
Hide or Remove Navbar in Blogger 2007-03-18 12:18:00 The Blogger
or Blogspot Navbar is a default feature that appears at the top of every Blogger powered blog. It is a useful navigation tool which allows readers to search the blog for targeted content, mark the blog as objectionable, and randomly view other member blogs.The Navbar can be disabled for users who publish contents via FTP, but it will appear on all freely hosted BlogSpot blogs. While the feature is undeniably useful, some people find that its position at the top of the page looks obtrusive even with a choice of 4 colors. Some therefore pick a template with a black background to blend well with a black navigation bar. There are also parents and educators who find the 'view random blogs' feature inappropriate, as their children may inadvertently view objectionable blogs.Nevertheless, this article is not a discussion on the merits or demerits of a Navbar. That is for you to decide. Here, I am assuming that you have made a conscious decision to hide or remove the Navbar.
Add video clip to Blog 2007-03-17 19:16:00 This is a step-by-step guide on how to add a video
or movie clip to your Blog or webpage. There are many sites that offer free video hosting. Most of them automatically generate the relevant HTML code for you to easily insert/embed into your web template or blog post. I shall start with two of the most popular providers – Google Video and YouTube.Google VideoCreate an account with Google Video using your Gmail account. After the formalities, you will see a Video Status page. Click "Upload Video."If your file is less than 100MB, which is probably the case, use the Web-based uploader.Insert the video title, description, genre, and language. Under “Access”, you can either choose to have the video made public or unlisted.The “unlisted” function is rather useful. A public video is listed in the Google Video search directory, and anyone can view it. However, you may have a video which you would rather not share with everyone except your blog readers. If you had created a p
Add Picture Banner Link to Blogger Header 2007-03-20 13:28:00 This guide is about adding an image or picture to your Blogger
Header to replace the Header Title, and to add a unique personal touch to your Blog. At the same time, we would like to have a clickable Blogger Header so that anybody clicking on it will be brought directly to your Blog's home page. For purposes of search engine optimization (SEO), we would include a text in the code so that the title of your Blog can still be read by search engine spiders despite your removing the Header text.Before we begin, if your intention is simply to add a background picture to the Header, but still retaining the Header text and description, please refer to my other article on “Background image for Blogger Header.”Next, you will have to enable additional Page Elements to your Header section. When you log in to your dashboard, and go to Template -> Page Elements, you should see an option for you to add a Page Element above your Header.If you don't, please refer to the related article on “A Read more:Picture

Background Image for Blogger Template 2007-03-24 11:22:00 With this guide, you would be able to add a background image or picture to your Blog, customize the position of your image, and have a static background image that stays in place when you scroll through the contents of your blog.You will need to create an image. Find a picture you like. If you need a free photo editing tool, you can either search the net for one or use Google's Photo Editing Software Picasa. You can also use a small tile-size image which can be repeated so as to cover the entire page. Try not to have an image file that is too large as your page may take a little longer to load.After creating a picture, you will need to upload it onto a free picture host like Google Page Creator, Photobucket, or any host that enables you to link directly to the image. (Picasaweb is a great way to share photos but it does not allow deep-linking of its photos. Hence, please use other services to host your image file for the purposes of your blog background.)

Blog Traffic Exchange and AdSense 2007-04-01 15:24:00 After doing up nice websites with interesting contents, the webmasters' dilemma is usually one of attracting visitors to their sites. Having more visitors is gratifying; it is a reward that website owners deserve for putting time and effort into their sites.Traffic exchange networks were designed to promote visitor traffic to websites or blogs. The idea is simple – members of the network surf each other's sites. Upon setting up an account with a traffic exchange program, you will be entitled to earn 'credits' by manually surfing other members' sites. Depending on the program, you may have anything between 0.5 to 1.0 credit for every site you visit. There is a timer at the top or bottom frame of the page to compel you to remain at the site for a period of time. This can range between 10 to 30 seconds. You are then required to click one of the images to correspond with the given image in order to proceed to the next random site. This is to prevent autosurfing hacks that ma Read more:Exchange

Submit Blog to Blog Directories (I) 2007-04-05 21:42:00 How do you attract more readers and visitors to your Blog? To make your Blog more visible, the solution lies in submitting your Blog URL or RSS Feed to as many good Blog directories as possible. There are hundreds of websites touting themselves as blog search engines, blog directory hosts, feed aggregators, and traffic exchanges. A couple of the website creators are out to make a quick buck, selling their sites and member database on eBay the moment they attract sufficient traffic.Over the past few weeks, I have submitted this Blog and RSS feed to many of these Blog directories for free. The first submissions were of course to Google and Yahoo; if you have not submitted your Blog URL to them, you may read the earlier articles on submitting sitemap to Google and submitting sitemap to Yahoo.Although my blog is only about 2 months' old, if I were to enter my blog title “tips for new bloggers” into Google search, I am able to see it appearing at the top of the search results.

Chat Box, Shout Box, and Google Talk 2007-04-19 22:01:00 The chat box you see on the left sidebar is one of the many FREE interactive tools you can get for your blogs. Call them what you like – tagboard, message board, chat box, chatter box, message box, shout box – they have one thing in common i.e., promoting interaction by allowing your visitors to leave messages or chat with one another. While it is true that your visitors can leave comments on the individual posts, there may be occasions when they have something to say that does not relate to the posts. A chat box will come in handy.There are quite a number of service providers but we shall comment on the few that we think you can consider trying out. You can search the web for more. The key factors that we looked out for are simple configuration, nice colors and design, guard against comment spam, and ease of use. You may see advertisements in the free plans, but they are usually not that obtrusive and you can probably live with that. These providers may offer paid services Read more:Google

In this part of the article, we shall focus on adding Images and Image Links into your Blog. We will talk about the “title” and “alt” tags in image links which supposedly help in search engine optimization (SEO). We shall end off with the code you can put on your Blog to allow your readers to link to you from their Blogs.Image TagI assume you have a ready picture, image, photo, or banner. Edit it and resize it using an image editing software. Other than Google's Picasa, there are other free image editing software offered on the net that you can try. As explained in Hyperlinks and Image Links (I), the image has to be uploaded onto an image server which allows direct link to the image. Copy the image URL.The HTML code for a picture or image is this:-<img src="http://tips-for-new-bloggers.blogspot.com//
Hyperlinks and Image Links (I) 2007-04-25 20:18:00 In this article, we shall address the common queries on how to configure links such that they open in a new window when clicked, the HTML code for visitors to link to your blog, the various hyperlink HTML tags and attributes, etc.A hypertext link or text link is a piece of text which when clicked will bring you to a section of a webpage, another webpage or an electronic document. If it is an icon or image that can be clicked, it is called a hypergraphic link or image link. For simplicity, both can be referred to as hyperlinks or links.Text LinksTo create a hypertext or text link, the HTML code is this:-<a href="http://tips-for-new-bloggers.blogspot.com//URL" target="_blank" title="TITLE">Text</a> Allow me to explain:-1. In HTML, the <a> (anchor) tag is used to create an anchor to link from. It should always be closed with the </a> tag.2.

Animated Banner with Rotating Headlines 2007-04-29 09:34:00 This article is about creating a nice looking banner that incorporates rotating headlines of your 5 recent Blog articles. If you have submitted your Blog to different Blog Directories, you would come across some which ask for your banner. It is nothing more than a picture to represent your Blog.Nonetheless, a nicely designed banner can attract more visitors and add a touch of professionalism to your Blog. I am not a graphic designer and I believe you can produce much nicer pictures. There are also GIF animator softwares on the net which will help you create a moving image, blinking text, and so on. What I intend to do here is to share with you alternative ideas on how you can create your own unique animated banner.Look at this example I made for my other blog. Notice how the titles of the 5 recent posts, taken from the site's feed, are rotated in the banner. Instead of a plain image, the headline animation adds life and attracts readers who want to read the details of your arti Read more:Banner

Remove Older Post and Posts (Atom) Links 2007-05-04 14:51:00 In the new default Blogger templates, you will see at the bottom of the page the words “Subscribe to: Posts (Atom)”. On every other page, you there are the words “Newer Post”, “Home” and “Older Posts”. These serve a good purpose but are not necessary as we shall explain. To have a neater layout, you may want to remove these links and this guide will discuss the simplest method that involves minimal change to the template.Older Post, Home and Newer Post linksWhen there is an older post than the post on the page, Blogger automatically displays a link to the older post. Similarly, if there is a newer post, there will be a link to that post. If you are writing a serial story, where one chapter leads to another, this is a good navigational tool for your readers. However, for many of the blogs, like ours, readers are interested in particular topics. They will look at the article list, labels or tags that you have in your site and are not likely to browse through every
AdSense Code in Blogger Post Body 2007-05-03 13:43:00 One of the known tips for improving the performance of your Google AdSense ads is knowing where to place the ads. In this guide, we shall discuss the modification you can make to your Blog template to have your Google AdSense ads appear between your post title and post body, or between your post body and post footer. Also, we shall have the AdSense ads appear on every individual post.Choosing a best placement for your AdSense ads will attract more attention; attention leads to clicks; and clicks bring you AdSense revenue. Easier said. While people may have theories on where the ideal AdSense spot ought to be, there is really no standard answer because it depends very much on your Blog's layout, contents, theme, etc. If you have been following the changes made to our Blog, you would agree that we are no guru at this. We had merely placed the ads where they fit aesthetically and not where they will get the most attention. Nevertheless, if you would accept our two cents' worth of Read more:Blogger
Random Header and Background Images 2007-05-06 13:23:00 A reader CeElle asked how the Header banner and Blogger background picture can be rotated so that they show a different image every time the page is refreshed or reloaded. While we could use the format of a slide show, the timing of rotation would be fixed. We think we have a simple enough JavaScript that randomly calls for a new Header banner or Blog background image whenever the Blog is refreshed. This is useful if you have several background pictures which are suitable for your Blog and you want to showcase all of them.Rotating Header ImageJust to be sure, this article is about randomly displaying different Header images upon every refresh of the page. If your intention is to have a fixed background image for your Header, this other article Background image for Blogger Header will be more relevant.
