how to add email subscription form below blogger posts

To increase the number of your blog readers and subscribers, there's need to include an email form somewhere in your blog layout. One of the most strategic positions that's been proven to be effective is right under your blog posts. Including a styled feeedburner email subscription form along with social media buttons can go a long way in increasing the number of your feed subscribers.

Adding Google Plus “Follow” & “Add to circles” Button / Badges to your Blog

March 31, 2012 By 26 Comments
GooglePlus-512-Red

The long awaited google plus badge has finally come but most bloggers and website owners are not even aware. Just like the facebook like box and twitter follow button, Google+ badge is just one of those widgets you must have on your blog to improve social interaction with your blog readers. If you've created a Google+ page for your blog, then you definitely need the "Follow" button and if you do not have a Google+ page ( like me :D ), a "Add to circles" button is available for you. I just added the badge to my sidebar and it's kind of cool. If you've been using a badge from any third party service, I think it's time to dump it and get the real thing. Adding the official badge doesn't only … [Read more...]

blogger seo preferences

Earlier this week, Blogger announced what is probably the most awaited feature that made me move to Wordpress late last year. Wordpress has lots of SEO plugins and it was quite an edge over blogger as I mentioned on this post but this new feature addresses that to some extent.

With the whole thing done wrong, your blog can disappear from google search without you knowing it. It should be noted that you can't toy around with these settings unless you know exactly what you're doing. The following features can be found in the new SEO preferences: Description meta … [Read more...]

January 25, 2012 By 56 Comments
author bio widget for different authors on blogger / blogspot

It 's not so encouraging accepting guest posts on a blog hosted on blogger because except from the author's name at the top of the post, there's no plugin to automatically display author's bio below the post like Wordpress. You need to manually write the bio along with the post while composing and it's not so cool. If you recently started accepting guest posts, you need to manually edit those posts you've written previously just to make your bio appear on old posts.This widget allows you to display author's bio below each and every blog post, even on blogs managed by many authors. Each and every one still get full credit for their work. This widget style is based on the very one … [Read more...]

how to add paypal donation button to blogger

There are different plugins to easily add paypal donations to your blog if you're on Wordpress but the case is different with Blogger. I had this problem while I was on Blogger platform because every tutorial I read on adding paypal donations to my blog never worked. I read that I needed to generate the code from my paypal account by going Merchant Services. The truth is I never found any option to create a donation button under merchant services. I'm not sure if it was a perculiar problem with my paypal account or it's perculiar to my selected country of residence during paypal registration. However, I devised an alternative way to add paypal donations to your blog. This is for for those … [Read more...]

how to migrate, move, copy or export blog posts from blogger to wordpress

I haven't writen a blog post recently because I just moved from blogger to wordpress and going back to the post I wrote on choosing the better platform between blogger and wordpress, I made mention of moving over to wordpress someday but I didn't even know back then it would be so soon! Anyway, I did migrate and everything went smoothly, all my blog posts were successfully imported and there was absolutely no broken links. I was rather skeptical about the whole thing at first but I never knew it would be so easy, the only hard part was customizing my new wordpress theme to look similar to the one I used on blogger so it would look like nothing changed at all.
