Uploading images to be inserted in an article, actually, is a part of our previous discussion named How to post an article in Blogger, but for more specific and complete, I decided to separate them.

Since we are talking about How to upload images in Blogger, so the first thing you have to prepare is the images to be uploaded into Blogger. After that, follow the instructions below, to upload images in Blogger.

Login to Blogger with your ID
Click New Post.
Make sure you are in the Compose mode editor.
Like posting an article, type the title in the adjacent field.
Type your article in the provided field.
Click “Insert Image” tool.
Click “Choose files”.
Find and select the images you want to upload from your computer.
Click Add selected.
To edit the image, e.g. the layout of the image: right, center, left; the size of the image: true, medium, small; or adding a caption, etc; click again the image to display the options.
If you have found the most suitable layout, size, or caption of the image, click Preview to view how the image would be like in your blog after published.
If you think the image is at the best form, click PUBLISH POST, and then your image will be online and readable throughout the world by Internet connection.

How to Publish a Post in Blogger

After you have known about Blogger’s Old Post Editor and Blogger’s Updated Post Editor, as you may have read those articles before, or visit now if you have not yet read them, now you should know How to post an article in Blogger. Of course, at this post, you should improve your knowledge in using the tools provided at both Blogger post editors.

Many bloggers that use Blogger platform don’t use directly the Blogger’s post editor in writing a post, but they firstly type it on other media such as Microsoft Word or the like, and then they copy and paste it into Blogger’s post editor. This way is not recommended because using Microsoft Word or the like will result in many unwanted codes. If you like this way, you had better use pure text editor such as notepad, wordpad, or the like, and then you can copy and paste into Blogger’s post editor.

The following are the steps needed to post an article in Blogger.

Login to Blogger with your ID
Click New Post.
Make sure you are in the desired post editor, either Compose mode or Edit HTML mode. As an example, this article uses Compose mode.
Type the title of your article in the related field.
Type your article in the field provided.
If you want to add the special effects such as bold, italic, different Font size, etc, you should highlight the desired text, and then click the related tools.
Define the most suitable label (category) for your article in the field provided at the bottom, e.g. Healthy, Sports, etc.
Click Post Option, where you will find the specific options or functions, e.g. allow or don’t allow comment for the article, and so on.
Before you publish your article, you had better preview it by clicking the PREVIEW button. This button is useful to view the display of your article after you publish it. The preview of your article is not published, but it’s provided to make you sure with it and only you can see it. Do editing if you still find it imperfect to be published.
If you think your article is ready to publish, just click PUBLISH POST. Thereby, your article is now online and readable throughout the world by Internet connection.
Done

How To Create Blog In Blogger

Of course you have often heard about Blog, right? Or perhaps, you have known it. But if you are still new to blog, below is the discussion.

What is Blog?

Blog is short for “Web log”. It is a web application containing writings that are commonly called posts on web pages. The writings are often ordered from the newer to older.

At the beginning of its presence, blog was used to write personal notes online, but along with the development and popularity, blog becomes more similar to a website in general, which contains tutorial, business, online store, and so on.

In blog terms, there is what is called Blog Platform, e.g. Blogger or WordPress. Blog platform or people like to call as blog machine is designed in such a way by programmers or developers in order to be easy in use. Previously, to create a web-based application, they needed the knowledge on any programming language such as CSS, HTML, PHP, JavaScript, and more, but with the presence of blog platforms, all becomes so easy because just by clicks on buttons, your blog can be accessed.

How to create a blog in Blogger

One of the most popular blog providers today is Blogger.com, so I am trying to discuss about how to create a blog in Blogger. Why should we create blog in Blogger not in any other blog provider? Actually, there is no obligation to create blog in Blogger, but the easiness given by Blogger has made beginners right to choose it.

However, it needs to be emphasized that the Internet world is dynamic, so it is possible to experience many changes in the future that this Guide to creating blog in Blogger will not be relevant anymore in Blogger.com.

The following are the steps to create blog in Blogger:

Creating Email

Email is one condition to fulfill when you want to create a blog, so make sure that you have owned an Email. Since we want to create blog in Blogger.com, which is owned by Google, email from Google Mail (GMail) is highly recommended. See how to create email in Gmail at How to create email in Gmail.

Creating Blog in Blogger

Please visit the site http://www.blogger.com
Now, I suppose you have a Gmail email. Login to Blogger with your Gmail ID and Password.
Click CREATE A BLOG
Type the desired title of your blog and blog address. Remember! Be serious in naming your blog because it will be permanent (unless you use Custom Domain). If blog address is unavailable (has been used), try another one and so on. Click arrow-shaped button with the text “CONTINUE”.
Choose the template you like most (it can be replaced in the future), and then click CONTINUE.
The text “Your Blog has been created!” will appear. Continue by click START BLOGGING.
When you enter the post editor, please write anything (suggested to create a post to avoid blog locking), e.g. Hello world. Click PREVIEW to view the display of your blog, or directly click PUBLISH POST if you want to publish it.
Click “VIEW POST” to view your blog. See the example below:
Done

What is a Domain?

To create a website or blog, you will need a domain. What is domain? In general, domain means a place or territory, or area under control, and so is it on the Internet. You need a place at where your website or blog would be established.

A domain is unique by its name that one domain only belongs to one owner. So, if one domain name has been used by one person all over the world, the domain name cannot be used again by anyone else all over the world. The term domain name only refers to Domain in the daily practice and usage. The examples of domain: howtoinblogger.com, blogspottutorial.com, life4biz.com.

The extensions make domain different, which usually means the purpose or goal of the website or blog, e.g.

.com ( read; dot com ): for commercial websites
.org : for organization websites
.info : for websites that contain information
.biz : for business websites
.gov : for governmental websites
etc

However, now domains often don’t define an identity. Often, domain with .org is used for personal website or blog, not for an organization. Domain with .info is often used for commercial websites, not for information websites.

Domain can be bought at domain providers or sellers, e.g. name.com, godaddy.com, and more. Need to know that domain name is not permanent, but you buy it for a certain period, one year, two year, and so on, which is based on yearly hiring contract.

In addition to domain, there is also a term “sub-domain”. It is created under its main domain, which can be acknowledged by its writing, i.e. separated by a dot (.).

Different Thumbnails On Home Page

I do not know whether to use wordpress plugin to display different thumbnails on the home page, but it can be done more easily in blogger. Enough with the conditional tags.

Thumbnails will be used on the home page to give an idea of the contents of the article, and will disappear after the visitors went into the article. One of the blogs that implementing this system is bloggerplugin. Here I will explain the application.

We will use the conditional tag that govern the appearance on the pages of articles (items).

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

To wrap a certain class. This class will be placed in an HTML image you wish to be a thumbnail.

Here's the total code:

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<style type='text/css'>

.thumb {display:none}

</style>
</b:if>

Put the above code </head>

***

Sign in view the first post & when inserting images into articles, will appear the following code:

or ,

Add the red code as shown in the HTML above. The point is the class = "thumb". Commons is a set that thumbnails / images dihidden if go to page the article.

Optimization blog with Google Page Speed and Yahoo! YSlow

This post is a continuation of my previous writings about the subject of 15 How To Optimize Blog To Appear Faster, create a who already read please continue reading this article, if not .. please read first, due for discussion this time we directly analyze practice using the tools, and article I wrote earlier that as the handle will not just let any sort confused if a page must be optimized.

Optimization of this time is actually aimed at reducing the error message when the browser for rendering on a page. The logic is that fewer and fewer mistakes would be the better because this will reduce the heavy work of the browser or at least we try to save on bandwidth usage.

Google Page Speed

For the first optimization tools, I usually use Google Page Speed, but because these tools are made by directly from Google, these tools also provide fairly complete information about reporting errors on the page. Each of our blog page automatically analyzes will be reported into the table lists. Page Speed will determine and inform you in detail what errors are found, other than an error message, there is also in informing the message of truth, which means found some page elements that do not need to be repaired because it was considered correct.

The page is finished analyzed Google Page Speed usually be given a value (score). Value best score is 100, remember! not easy to reach a value of 100, my advice is sufficient to reach a score of 80-90/100, even this has been spelled out pretty good numbers.

So how to fix the error?

Any error messages displayed in the list are all of course have no solution, say the message is displaying "Remove unused CSS" which means we are asked to dispose of unused CSS code. Please click the link that displays the error, Google will automatically provide the best solution to resolve the issue. Well, we just learned it the task instructions and tips on optimization from Google.

Yahoo! YSlow

Google Page Speed In addition there is one more tool that I usually use that is Yahoo! YSlow. Options on YSlow because I realize this tool is developed by Yahoo, of course accuracy diragunakan not need anymore. Actual workings from YSlow information report errors and breast bengeknya almost the same as Google Page Speed, they both provide information on repairs and of course how to handle errors. Mecolok difference lies in the provision of Value page, if Google Page Speed based on the Score, Yahoo's YSlow Grade AF itself based on where the value of Grade A is the best value and Grade F is the worst value. Like I said above would be very difficult to achieve a perfect score, my suggestion is among Grade BC only.

Well, now it's up to colleagues just choose from the two tools above, both are equally good. Save me choose one only, because the two tools above certainly gives a different score value.

How To Install:

Before attempting the second above confirm Peer Tools already installed firefox plugin for Firebug, ok! if so, please install plugin for Google Page Speed and Yahoo YSlow.

How to Create a Website / Blog On Google's Main Page

Tuesday, May 10, 2011

You Got a Website / Blog. Still Minimal traffic or visitors?

Want to Appear on Google's main page and become number one in the MAIN PAGE OF GOOGLE!

Find out how at Google Confidential

Having a website / blog without traffic or visitors is to be thought "Why my blog is not a visit or just stop by." That's usually the question in the hearts of the owners of blogs that lack visitors.

Then how to have a website / blog our many visitors?

"POSITION DETERMINING ACHIEVEMENT"

Please see the pictures below ..

Of the approximately 819,000 articles on "key smadav 8.4", CahBorneo.Com was ranked first in Google's main page.

If traced, in Google Analytic data will be found as follows:

Statistical data Google per day

On 24 and 25 traffic from the search with the keyword "key smadav 8.4" and "key smadav 8.4 pro" is still 0 (blank). Emerging traffic on 27 January. This occurs because the new CahBorneo write articles with keywords key smadav 08.04 on January 26. So only takes 1 (one) day to get position on Google's main page. And a decline until the number 0 again which caused internal problems in hosting CahBorneo.Com.

Another example is an article about the plugin wp syndicator.

CahBorneo ranked 2 after YouTube on a search with the keyword "wp syndicator"

And .. CahBorneo occupies the first position on the main page of google with keyword "wp syndicator download"

Even CahBorneo occupy first and second positions on the main page of Google with the keyword "Key eset 2011"

Then, what is the link between "POSITION DETERMINING ACHIEVEMENT" with the number of visitors?

If you look carefully and understand the picture above .. you will know that perched on the first page let alone in first place search engine like google is very important.

Why?

A research states that:

Most of the visitors who are looking for something in serch engines with certain keywords would rather open a website / blog that appeared on the main page of Google or other search engines.

And it's not kidding .. Try to ask yourself or your own behavior carefully when you come to search engines like google and look for something with certain keywords, links from websites / blogs on the page where you will open. Are pages to four, five, six or so ... ???!!! You alone can answer.

But in reality it is true ... plumpness earnest people click on the link on the main page just on search engines.

So, OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT also determine. The more we blog appears on the main page of google or another search engine, the more the number of visitors to websites or blogs without having to pay adwords to bring traffic.

The question that then arises is "How does your website / blog can appear on the main page of google??"

Answer "Classical" is a Newbie:

Submitting a website or blog URL to search engines and verification.
Put meta tags in blog
Find keywords that are "OK" on the post.
Seeing the competition keywords that will be installed.
Write an article that many of searching today.
And ... Perhaps there are many others that are not added.

What is the Answer "Classic" is wrong?

No. Nothing wrong with that answer, because most people (webmasters) once it was put on classical technique. It's just the way the web master is different from the way we (and I'm not saying that I am including the webmaster's. Just an experience and "little research" quite a long time that I get). The webmaster just need a few clicks to perform in ways the "classic" is.

Then where the BEST way to do?

One of the main questions and always arises is how to dominate Google, because most people understand that Dominate Google with only determine Keywords completely going to change their Web site traffic and in turn business and sales will be smooth. However, in reality there is so much conflicting information on the Internet to uncover the puzzle "how to dominate Google's" Google Confidential is there any really powerful? and what precise steps to be taken as guidance, it is very confusing because of too much information. Which is real and which ones work? Having a desire to Dominate Google in Your Niche or Industry is a valuable goal, but what steps you need to do to actually achieve it? Answer a Webmaster is:

Learning to become the Google Webmaster
SEO, Good or offpage OnPage
SEO content
Activity in the air "Website"
Link Quality
