Steps to Add Favicon to Blogger

Note: Before making any changes to your template, take a full backup of your blogger template.


#Step 1. Log in to your Blogger Dashboard and Navigate to Design> Edit HTML.



Design Edit HTML


#Step 2. Find </head> tag and just before the </head> tag add One of the following HTML image code. (Add.gif or .png code for firefox and .ico code for IE)



<link rel="icon" href="static_favicon.ico"/>

<link rel="icon" href="animated_favicon.gif"/>

</head>


For those of you wanting desperately to have your favicon to work in Internet Explorer you have to use a .ico file, since it appears that Internet Explorer simply does not want to support the .png or other formats for the favicon.



You can’t upload a .ico file to Blogger.com, that means you will need to host your favicon somewhere other that on Blogger.com. An option could be Google Page Creator.



Some more help (resources) for adding a favicon in blogger.



  • HTML-Kit favicon generator (download as favicon package) – Enables you to create a static or animated favicon; you can even create a favicon quickly using your Twitter username!

After uploading a photo, you will see additional options that are not available for the built-in images: Alignment, Repeat, and Scroll options.


Set Custom Photo as Blogger Background
  • Alignment: You can adjust horizontal (left, center, right) and vertical (top and bottom) alignment of your background image.

  • Repeat (Tile): If you have a small image, you can have it repeat horizontally and/or vertically to fill the page. Otherwise, we recommend that you choose a page background color that blends in with your background image.

  • Scroll: By default, your image stays in place while readers scroll the page contents. By selecting the “Scroll with page” option, both the background image and page contents scroll together. We recommend that you use an image that blends into your background color or set your image to tile vertically if you choose this option.



This feature is available on Blogger in Draft right now, so please go ahead and check it out!

How to Share Google Adsense Revenue in Blogger with Co-Authors

Today we will see How to Share Adsense Revenue for Multiple Authors in Blogger. To have multiple authors in a single blogger blog is very common now a days, and if your blog is having more than one author's then it is quite possible that the co-author wants to put his/her Google Ads code on their own posts.



Share Google Adsense Revenue in Blogger


If you are using wordpress then this is thing can be achieved with Plug-in itself, but in case of blogger you need to do it manually. So below here is a hack for how you can share Google Adsense revenue with multiple authors while using blogger.



If you are thinking about how to distribute or share the revenue with other authors of your blog to give there share, then the simple solution is is to show the adds of that author. Google Adsense will give him the exact revenue he deserves for doing that post. This way you can share the blog revenue with them more precisely because every author gets his own ad displayed in all the posts he/she does.



Steps on How to Share Google Adsense Revenue in Blogger with Co-Authors



Note: Before making any changes to your template, take a full backup of your blogger template.


#Step 1. Log in to your Blogger Dashboard and Navigate to Design > Edit HTML and checked the Expand Widget Templates Check box.



Layout Edit HTML - Expand Widget Template




#Step 2. Find this code:

<p><data:post.body/></p>

and replace it wit this code:

<p><data:post.body/></p>

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>

<b:if cond='data:post.authorUrl == &quot;http://www.blogger.com/profile/12753704574838247184&quot;'>

PASTE THE AD CODE OF Author 1 HERE

</b:if>

<b:if cond='data:post.authorUrl == &quot;http://www.blogger.com/profile/12753704574838247184&quot;'>

PASTE THE AD CODE OF Author 2 HERE

</b:if>

<b:if cond='data:post.authorUrl == &quot;http://www.blogger.com/profile/12753704574838247184&quot;'>

PASTE THE AD CODE OF Author 3 HERE

</b:if>

</b:if>

<br/>




Note: To know your profile id, Go to your Dashboard and click on your View Profile Hyperlink and watch out in address bar for your profile id. See below images to know more.


* Go to Dashboard > Click on View Profile.



Blogger Dashboard_ View Profile


* See your address bar and you will find your blogger profile ID.



Blogger Profile ID


#Step 3. Replace blogger profile id with author's profile ID and save your template. Now when ever co-author will publish post blogger will check that from which blogger profile it has been posted and will show relevant author's Adsense code.



Note: There is already a for the blogger on How to Share Google Adsense Revenue in Blogger with multiple authors, but the limitation of that hack is they are using name as a reference and if author is changing the name of his/her then you need to change the code each time.



The above hack will work in every scenario, because i have put blogger profile id into use, which will never going to be change until user deletes their account :)

Get Blogger Followers Via Promoting Your Blog

This is in no way a science or guarantee; it's simply a few suggestions with which many bloggers have found success.

Set your blog to Send Pings. When this setting is activated, your blog will be included in various "recently updated" lists on the web as well as other blog-related services.

Get Blogger Followers


Activate Your Navbar. Do this and you might start to see the effects right away! One of the features on the Blogger Navbar is a button called NextBlog - click it to visit the next Navbar-enabled blog.



Install Email This Post. If you use Email This Post on your blog, people will be able to forward your posts to friends. This may not have an immediate impact on your site stats but it enables others to publicize your blog for you.

Turn on Post Pages. By publishing every post as its very own web page with Post Pages, you ensure that your entries are way more link-able and more attractive to search engines.



Turn on your site feed. When people subscribe to your site feed in their newsreaders, they're very likely going to read your post.



Add your blog to Blogger's listings. When you add your blog to our listings it shows up in Nextblog, Recently Updated, and other places. It's like opting-in to traffic.



Write quality content and do it well. If your "style" is bad writing, worse grammar, no punctuation, and an ugly design, that might be okay for a niche crowd. But the idea here is to achieve mass appeal, so fix yourself up a bit.



Publish regular updates. Simple: the more you blog, the more traffic you'll get.



Think of your audience. A good way to build an audience is to speak to one in particular. When you keep your audience in mind, your writing gains focus. Focus goes a long way toward repeat visitors.



Blogger Followers

Keep search engines in mind. There are a few things you can do to make your blog more search engine friendly. Use post titles and post page archiving. This will automatically give each of your post pages an intelligent name based on the title of your post. Also, try to be descriptive when you blog. A well crafted post about something very specific can end up very near the top results of a search.



Keep your posts and paragraphs short. Strive for succinct posts that pump pertinent new information into the blogosphere and move on. Keep it short and sweet so visitors can pop in, read up, and click on.

Put your blog URL in your email signature. Think of how many forwarded emails you've seen in your day, and just imagine the possibilities.



Sumbit your address to blog search sites and directories. People look for blog content at Technorati every day, are you on their list? You should be. Submit your blog's url to Technorati, Daypop, Blogdex, Popdex, and any other site of that ilk you come across.



Link to other blogs. Links are the currency of the blogosphere and it takes money to make money so start linking.



Install a blogroll. It's a very simple yet effective social networking scheme and it has the same result as a simple link if not stronger: traffic! So if you don't have one yet, sign up for a blogroll and get that link-list going.



Be an active commenter. This is in the same vein as linking. Most comment systems also provide a way for you to leave a link back to your blog which begs a visit at the very least. So if you feel inspired, leave a comment or two in your blog travels. It behooves you.



Enable Following on your blog. Following a is a great way to keep your friends updated on the latest activity on your blog. New blogs will have this blog feature enabled by default, but for older blogs you will have to enable it from the Layout | Page Elements tab.



So go ahead and generate hug friend following and lots of traffic too.
