-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Robots.txt is a text file which contains few lines of simple code. It is saved on the website or blog’s server which instruct the web crawlers to how to index and crawl your blog in the search results. That means you can restrict any web page on your blog from web crawlers so that it can’t get indexed in search engines like your blog labels page, your demo page or any other pages that are not as important to get indexed. Always remember that search crawlers scan the robots.txt file before crawling any web page.

How to write Custom Robots Header Tags Settings in Blogger

Custom robots header tags allow you to tell web crawlers not to index certain sections of your site. It’s similar to customrobots.txt, but not as granular. For example, if you check the box for "nofollow" under the "Homepage" section, it means that you don’t want web crawlers to consider any links on your homepage leading to any other page.

Blogger’s developers team continuously working hard to improve its features and usability. In blogger’s new interface they added many new features to make it more SEO friendly. One of the new features introduced by blogger’s developers is Custom Robots Header Tags. Blogger just added Custom robots header tags to post editor. One of the features of search preferences was robots.txt and Robots tags which could be set only for homepage, archives, posts and pages. But now you can edit these settings even for individual posts and pages right from BlogSpot post editor. Unlike Meta Description, Custom Robots Header tags are not visible and are not shown if you try to check  it by viewing the browser source file for your blog.

Offline HTML,CSS, and JAVA Script Editor.

Offline HTML,CSS, and JAVA Script Editor.

The biggest problem faced by majority of newbie bloggers and web developers  is editing their templates. And the reason for this is lack of awareness with browser languages like CSS, XML, HTML, JavaScript etc. There are several websites online that have tutorials in these fields and one of such websites is www.w3schools.com This website is popular because it lets you play with the code! It has an Online HTML Editor Tool that lets you see live preview of the code that you use. Many developers find this tool pretty useful but has someone ever imagined that you can actually rip this tool out of w3schools and use it offline for practicing coding while offline? Well fortunately after some trial and error we could successfully create a similar tool entitled as “ HTML Editor” This is the first time all bloggers are having a chance to have fun playing with important codes like CSS, HTML and JavaScript and learn important coding in a more interesting way! Now you can actually test a code before adding them to blogger.

This tool is better than any other HTML Editor found online or available as a software, in the following ways,

1. It works Offline in any browser available

2. Takes less than a fraction of a second to show live preview

3. Is equal in size to a peanut i.e 2.32 Kb

4. Code is saved in browser if your PC shutdowns accidently 

5. You can go back several times using Ctrl + Z and go forward using Ctrl + Y

6. Can be used to test a code for Cross Browser Compatibility

7. It is free of charge thanks to MBT.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Downloading the HTML Editor  Following Steps :

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Click this link Download the File  –> HTML Editor ( Direct Link Here )

The HTML Editor window will expand. Now you can start using it Online but to work offline in it you need to save it first. To save it click on the file menu at top-left-corner of your browser and then choose “Save As”  or “Save Page As”. Select a safe location and hit enter, as shown below,

Done!

NOTE: Troubleshoot:- In IE a Security alert will appear, ignore it by right clicking on it and then selecting Allow Blocked Content.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How To use HTML EDITOR

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This tool consists of two panes i.e left pane and right pane. See a screen shot below,

The left pane is the area where you add your code and the right pane is the area responsible for displaying a visual view of the code. The CSS code is added just between <style> and </style> and the HTML code is added just below </style>

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some Important Tips:-

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To go backward to previous changes, click Ctrl + Z

To go forward to last changes made, click Ctrl + Y

To get URL of an image saved in your hard drive suppose Drive F, open Firefox browser and simply type  F: in the address bar and hit enter. That drive will open and now simply browse to that image and right click on it and then click on Copy Link Location. Alas! you got the URL. Now use this URL wherever required during your offline code editing adventure.

Once you are happy with the code that you prepared then simply paste the CSS code just above ]]></b:skin> inside your blogger template and the HTML code where you want the effect to be seen i.e post or sidebar

How to Earn Money by using Blogger ?

How to Earn Or Make Money by using Blogger ?

Most bloggers will start off their venture in the hopes of earning big from their blogs. And not without reason either. Multitudes of people are earning a decent sum online. You can too. Earning money from your blog while sitting at home is like a dream for most, and yet, is a reality for many as well. It isn't difficult, it just needs some dedication, and the right guidance. In this post, well talk about monetizing your blog to make

money online. Before you move on, do take a look at some of the basics of blogging that we've covered so far.

HOW TO MAKE MONEY BY USING BLOGGING?

In this page I want to share some information for beginners on how to make money blogging. Secondly – let me start by sharing my own top Money Making Methods but below that point you to some great resources and teaching on how to increase your income from blogging.

1. Google Adsense

2.Affiliate Programs

3.Chitika

4. Amazon Associates

5. Private Ad Sales/Sponsorships

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Google Adsense

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                                         

Google AdSense is perhaps the most widely known advertising network, so much so that a lot of people, especially new bloggers don't know of any others except Google AdSense. So quite naturally, it'll be the first thing they apply to. Agreeably, Google AdSense is a good starter for beginners, and every blogger should try it at one point or another. However, for earning real hard cash, you'll need to look into some other networks.

Google AdSense is mostly a CPC network. CPC stands for Cost Per Click, and means that you get a certain amount for every click you get on your ads. You can also employ CPM (Cost Per Impression) as an AdSense publisher. CPM gives you a certain amount on the completion of a set Impressions target (for example $0.1 for every 1000 Impressions or views on your ads). Here are some articles that will help you get the most out of your Google AdSense ads.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.Affiliate Programs

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                                             

If you are into making money online, then I am sure you are aware of affiliate marketing right? Affiliate marketing is one of the easiest way for you to make money online and the profit margin for each successful sale is quite high. Basically this money making model allows you (the affiliate) to sell products by other merchants. This is done by either by placing the banners or text link of the products or by writing a review about a particular product. In this form of advertising your performance is tracked based on CPA

(Cost Per Action) or CPL (Cost Per Lead).

You can choose to start your affiliate marketing journey by selecting individual publisher such as Digital Photo Secret or you can also opt to be the affiliate for larger companies such as:

Link Share

Amazon

Google Affiliate Network

Book Depository

ClickBank

EpicDirect

Commission Junction.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Chitika

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                                           

Chitka continues to be a great performer for me on my blogs. They traditionally have worked best on product related blogs although their Premium ad units now convert well on a larger range of blogs. While I’ve focused a little less on Chitika in the last 6 months (mainly as I’ve released my own products and moved a little away from advertising) they do continue to perform well where I use them and over the time I’ve been using Chitika they’ve now earned me over a quarter of a million dollars – as a result I can’t recommend them enough!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. Amazon Associates

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amazon’s affiliate program has been one of my big movers in the last 12 months. I used to make a few odd dollars from it – however in recent times it has become a significant earner for me (in fact it’s now earned me over $100,000 since I started using it). Christmas time (and the lead up to it) is a particularly good time for Amazon – last December it would have ranked #2 on this list.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. Private Ad Sales/Sponsorships

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                                              

Private ad sales directly to advertisers have fallen for me in the last year (they previously ranked #3 on this list). This is partly due to a change in my own focus but also partly due to the economy as it is. I should note that this area does vary a little from month to month depending upon the campaigns we’re asked to run – we’ve had a couple of months where it actually ranked #2 in the last year.

Which One is the Best Blogger or Wordpress ?

Which One is the Best Blogger or Wordpress ?

Are you confused with which blogging platform to choose to start your blogging career? The major blogging hosting platforms are no doubt Blogger and WordPress. Now to judge which one is better I have written a detailed comparison chart below that will be of great help in making a smart decision.

Note:- I am not an employee of either Blogger or WordPress. The below chart is solely my personal research.

Differences between Blogger and WordPress

Some of the differences between Blogger (Blogspot) and WordPress are listed below:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Dashboard

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Blogger: It has an updated dashboard design. More features are available, but to make use of all of them, it

is compulsory to enable JavaScript.

WordPress: The Dashboard in WordPress increases the speed for the dial-up users so that they can easily post an entry without facing too much difficulty, or wasting time.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Domain Names

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Blogger: You can transfer your domain for free or you can buy one through the BlogSpot interface. And, once again free blogs are created as sub-domains with URLs

like xyz.blogspot.com.

WordPress: The user has to pay some amount in order to transfer an existing domain in case of the paid service, but of course you can create free blogs on wordpress.com in form of a sub-domain like

abc.wordpress.com.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Languages

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Blogger: Blogger by Google supports only 50 languages.

WordPress: WordPress supports nearly 120+ languages.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. Mobile Access
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Blogger: You can access the help pages of Blogger, but there's no mobile-specific version. But you can publish your post by sending SMS or MMS, for more information

read this – http://www.blogger.com/mobile-start.g

WordPress: You can be accessed through mobile on m.wordpress.com.

Note: You can blog from your mobile phones or devices, there are lots of 3rd party apps.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Static Pages
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Blogger: You can create up to twenty static pages, but like WordPress those static pages cannot be placed on the home page easily. If you want to show such static page as homepage, you’ve to edit the template HTML which is painfully complex for many users.

Wordpress: You can create as many pages or posts that can be listed in the home page.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. WordPress Vs Blogger SEO
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you take the suggestions of 100 bloggers on which platform to use – Blogger or WordP ress, then the chances are high that 90 of them will blindly say WordPress. First of all, Google does not consider metatags and keywords. Another point is Blogger owned by Google makes things easier to support the blogger blogs. As there are many more changes to come in future, you will be safe if you are within Google's backyard.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7.Customizing Themes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Blogger: There are many blogger templates (themes) that can be customized without any hassle. You can edit the HTML and CSS directly.

WordPress: There are extremely high numbers of free WordPress themes available over the internet. Using the WordPress.com version of WordPress you can not fully customize the template, you can only customize the options available to you or switch to a new template.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. Image Storage
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Blogger: When you upload photos to Blogger they are stored in Google’s photo system, Picasa. There you can browse your images and much more. In blogger there is
1 GB of storage space (images under 2048×2048 do not count towards that limit, so it’s actually MUCH more than 1 gig) for storing images. If you required more
space, you’ve to pay for more space.

WordPress: It has 3GB of storage space. But, if you want more space then you’ll have to upgrade by paying some money.

How To Create a New Blog ?

There are many people who still do not understand what a blog is or why is blogging so much expanding in the cyberspace. I feel all these people deserve the right to know what a Blog is and how can a Blog be created along with some other similar questions. So for those who just heard of a Blog from their friends, media or any other source, here is a short and precise illustrative tutorial to help you find answers to four important questions in most people’s mind.

Which are,
1. What is a Blog (Blogger) ?
2. How do I create a New Blog?
3. How to Earn money by using blogging?
4. Which one is the Best blogger Or Wordpress ?

The Above List are Explain one by one Below.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. What is a Blog (Blogger) ?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So What Is a Blog?

Let’s begin with some definitions. A bit dry, we realize, but this is a necessary evil. First we’ll define the word this whole site is based around – blog.


A blog is a frequently updated online personal journal or diary. It is a place to express yourself to the world. A place to share your thoughts and your passions. Really, it’s anything you want it to be. For our purposes we’ll say that a blog is your own website that you are going to update on an ongoing basis. Blog is a short form for the word weblog and the two words are used interchangeably.

Here are a couple of other definitions:

“…the first journalistic model that actually harnesses rather than merely exploits the true democratic nature of the web. It’s a new medium finally finding a unique voice.”–Andrew Sullivan


“[a] collection of posts…short, informal, sometimes controversial, and sometimes deeply personal…with the freshest information at the top.”–Meg Hourihan 

Blog (noun) – a journal or diary that is on the Internet.

Blogger (noun) – a person who keeps a blog – Bloggers are revolutionizing the way news is shared.

Blog (verb) – to write a blog – I am going to blog before breakfast this morning.

Blogging (verb) – the action of writing a blog – Blogging is my way of sharing my passions with the world.

If you write about your personal experiences in a notebook made up of papers, then your writings will reach only limited people around you but with an online diary like a Blog you speak to the world!

So in short a blog is your Personal website where you write and share things you like with millions of people out there who are eager to read what is cooking in your mind!

The video below will give you a more illustrative view of a Web Blog.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. How do I create a New Blog?
