Removing The Blogger Navigation Bar
2007-06-27 20:20:00 It is not very often that I use my blog as a soapbox but I’m afraid today is one of those days. I know I know you thought you were going to get some instructions on how to remove the navigation bar from your blogger.com blog. No such luck here pal.One of my favourite online pass times is surfing blogs. You know just sitting back with a nice glass of chardonnay on a quite evening clicking through some blogs. Reading some, passing on some, commenting on some, fave or digging some. Sometimes I use social networking sites like SpicyPage, MyBlogLog or BumpZee to do my surfing, but most of the time I like to surf using the navigation bar at the top of all blogger blogs.However I am forced to use the term all blogger.com blogs very loosely. Many high profile bloggers like Kumiko Suzuki, Peter Chen and BizWhiz from Tips For New Blogg er s, have all actively encouraged blogger.com bloggers to remove their nav bars to make their blogs more personal. Now that may sound cool or whatever but the... More About: Navigation , Logger , Ving

Cricket World Cup 2007
2007-05-31 21:09:00 Ok, ok. I know I was supposed to be continuing the 6 part series on Free Marketing Resources, but my favourite sport has gotten in the way of that. Cricket Lovely Cricket. The Beautiful Game! After 48 glorious days of being glued to the television watching so many great games, we have now reached the climax of the tournament. I have some great memories of this Cricket World Cup and I also have to add a couple of teams to my list of favourites. For me the real heroes of the tournament were the Irish. They came to the Caribbean with no fear or doubt, they were not supposed to last the first 2 weeks, and they were supposed to be one of those teams that the other high-ranking teams use for target practice. But the Irish had other plans in mind.They caused a huge upset by beating Pakistan in their second game and then went on to beat Bangladesh later on in the tournament. I enjoyed watching Ireland so much because they showed great character and determination. Whether they won on the day... More About: World Cup 2007 , Cricket World Cup

Are You A "No Follow" Blogger?
2007-05-31 21:02:00 If you blog at Blogg er .com and you are a regular commenter on other blogs, there is a chance that you are not getting the link credit you deserve. All Blogger.com blogs have embedded in the comments area of their templates some code that prevents links from being seen and counted by Google and Technorati. The ?No Follow? attribute makes links invalid. In other words, if you leave a valuable comment on someone?s blog and you also leave a link to your blog, unless the blog that received your comment has this piece of code removed, your link will not be counted by Google or Technorati. It also works the other way. When someone leaves a comment on your blog they will not get a link either.The purpose of the ?No follow? attribute is to help prevent spamming; we have all experienced spammers visiting our sites and dropping links to blogs that are valueless and irrelevant, without even leaving a decent comment. So I can more than understand the need for coding to help prevent that. Unfortu... More About: Logger

The Free Advertising Forum is quite unique in that it offers many different services. For starters there is the classified ad area, where you have a choice of three sections. Place your ad in the area that most suits your product. Be aware that as with the Free Advertising Blog that we talked about in part 2, the classified ad area turns over very quickly, so again you will need to repost quite often to keep your ad visible. Adding a link is another feature offered at the Free Advertising Forum, all you have to do is click on one (1) of the other members links and view the site they have linked to, then you will be able to add your link along with a short description of your site. There are 25 sites in the list so I find that the links remain for a good amount... More About: Resources , Money , Online , Part
