Blogspot How to: Setup Blogger Custom Domain

Blogspot How to: Setup Blogger Custom Domain

How to Setup Blogger Custom Domain


By default, your blog address is in this format; http://YOURBLOG.blogspot.com/. As you can see, all blogs hosted on Blogger have blogspot.com included in their address. Such an address is difficult to remember and it is not suitable for a professional blog. Traditionally, switching to a personalized domain required research, a web hosting comparison and the purchase of relatively expensive hosting. Fortunately, Blogger has made arrangements for those who are looking for free or cheap hosting while also upgrading to a more personalized domain name. Now, you can simply buy a custom domain directly through Blogger and forget about setting it up. In this tutorial, I'll explain this whole process of searching, buying and setting up a custom domain.

What is a Custom Domain?


The domain of my blog is a custom domain; http://www.betatemplates.com/. It is a .com domain. However, when someone creates a blog on Blogger, the address of that blog is in this format; http://example.blogspot.com/. Blogger adds .blogspot to all of its blogs.

Why Should I Use a Custom Domain?


The Blogger addresses are very difficult to remember because they contain .blogspot. Switching to a custom domain makes it really easy to create an easy-to-remember address. It also gives a good impression to have a custom domain specially for professional blogs.

What is the Cost of a Custom Domain?


Typically, a custom domain costs you around 10$ per year. You have to renew it annually to keep using it. Please note that Blogger provides us free hosting so no need to buy hosting.

I'm Ready, Lets Buy & Setup a Custom Domain!


Follow these steps:
  1. Log in to your Blogger account.
  2. Go to 'Settings' then 'Publishing' tab.
  3. Click 'Switch to: Custom Domain' option.
  4. Enter the desired domain name and check its availability.
    If you're looking for a .com domain then it might be difficult to find a great domain because a lot of people chose .com domain names so good luck for that. You can also chose .net, .biz, .info or .org domains but they're not as popular as .com domains.
  5. If that domain is available, Blogger will take you to Google Apps and you'd have to complete 3 steps there. These steps are well explained in the following video:


How Long Will it Take to Shift to a Custom Domain?


After setting up a custom domain, it might take up to 3 days to move to the custom domain. So, don't worry about that. Blogger also takes care of the settings behind the scenes.

What Happens to Existing Address, Visitors & PageRank?


Here comes the awesome features of Blogger. Your existing visitors will be automatically redirected to the custom domain. The PageRank is also kept intact so don't worry about that as well.
Creating a Picture Link in Blogger Posts

Creating a Picture Link in Blogger Posts


By default, when a user clicks a picture in a Blogger post, the picture opens up in a light box. However, you can also create a picture link so that when a user clicks a picture in a post, a new blog or a website will open. For example, the above image is linked to this post itself which is very handy. In this tutorial, I'll explain how you can link a picture to any blog or webpage.

Default Behavior of an Uploaded Image!


I've uploaded the following image and did not changed anything in it. Click and it will open in a light box:


Let's link the above image to some blog or webpage.

Creating an Image Link in the New Post Editor


First of all, upload an image. I'll upload the above image in my post. After that, switch to the HTML mode of post editor.


HTML mode shows the HTML code of uploaded image. By default, Compose mode is enabled which is easy but doesn't allow code editing. Anyway, here is the code of my uploaded image:

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv9uvE3Q3wLhNvbkmpGjZs-LbbbyUbBIHBK9COoHmK9WVWNG_TnIaI3QXH2jBrpEJnvl_VIzOqqXeIml2k2vM8mi8nSLDv5U__3GAwcvypiF_oYIeR_zliNyhqp8R1qqz11vSI0jttxTc/s1600/flower.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="225" width="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv9uvE3Q3wLhNvbkmpGjZs-LbbbyUbBIHBK9COoHmK9WVWNG_TnIaI3QXH2jBrpEJnvl_VIzOqqXeIml2k2vM8mi8nSLDv5U__3GAwcvypiF_oYIeR_zliNyhqp8R1qqz11vSI0jttxTc/s400/flower.jpg" /></a></div>

Note: Don't worry, your code will not be exactly the same because different images have different names, dimensions and alignment.

Please note that there will be 2 addresses or URLs in the uploaded image. For my image, these URLs are:

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv9uvE3Q3wLhNvbkmpGjZs-LbbbyUbBIHBK9COoHmK9WVWNG_TnIaI3QXH2jBrpEJnvl_VIzOqqXeIml2k2vM8mi8nSLDv5U__3GAwcvypiF_oYIeR_zliNyhqp8R1qqz11vSI0jttxTc/s1600/flower.jpg
&
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv9uvE3Q3wLhNvbkmpGjZs-LbbbyUbBIHBK9COoHmK9WVWNG_TnIaI3QXH2jBrpEJnvl_VIzOqqXeIml2k2vM8mi8nSLDv5U__3GAwcvypiF_oYIeR_zliNyhqp8R1qqz11vSI0jttxTc/s400/flower.jpg

There is only 1 difference in the image URLs which is s1600 and s400. First URL with s1600 is actually the link URL. It is responsible for making this image a link. Second URL with s400 is the source URL. It displays the image.

As I've told you that the first URL is responsible for making image a link so, we need to change the first URL in our image code. For example, if I want to link the above uploaded image to my blog's homepage which is http://www.betatemplates.com/, I'll only replace the first URL of image with the URL of my blog's homepage. After that, the image code will look something like this:

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.betatemplates.com/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="225" width="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv9uvE3Q3wLhNvbkmpGjZs-LbbbyUbBIHBK9COoHmK9WVWNG_TnIaI3QXH2jBrpEJnvl_VIzOqqXeIml2k2vM8mi8nSLDv5U__3GAwcvypiF_oYIeR_zliNyhqp8R1qqz11vSI0jttxTc/s400/flower.jpg" /></a></div>

As you can see that I've only changed the first URL. Second URL is still an image. Now, if you'll click the following image, it will take you to my homepage.



Make Image Link Open in a New Window or Tab

If you're linking your image to some other blog or website then it is a good practice to make it open in a new window or tab. By doing this, visitors will stay on your blog.

To do this, I'll just add target="_blank" in the image code just after the link address. The code will look like this:

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.betatemplates.com/" target="_blank" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="225" width="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv9uvE3Q3wLhNvbkmpGjZs-LbbbyUbBIHBK9COoHmK9WVWNG_TnIaI3QXH2jBrpEJnvl_VIzOqqXeIml2k2vM8mi8nSLDv5U__3GAwcvypiF_oYIeR_zliNyhqp8R1qqz11vSI0jttxTc/s400/flower.jpg" /></a></div>


And here is the image itself. Just click and my blog homepage will open in a new tab/window.

How to Add Adsense Below Post Titles in Blogspot Blogs


Google Adsense is the most popular ad network on the planet. A lot of Blogger users also use it. It's an endless discussion where to place these ads on your blog for maximum exposure. The best ad places are around the header or above the posts or below the post titles. You can easily add adsense in your sidebar as a gadget. But Blogger doesn't allows us to directly place the ads below post titles. The ads below post titles have proven to be one of the most successful money making positions. So, what are you waiting for? Follow this tutorial to add your Adsense ads below post titles.

Please Note: I'm assuming that you're using the new Adsense interface.

  4. Select the size, type and color of your ad. For best results chose either 300x250 medium or 336x250 large rectangle.[View Screenshot for Help]
  5. Give your ad a remember-able name and ad a custom channel to track the ad performance. If you don't know anything about channels then leave that option.
  6. After filling required information, click save and get code button at the bottom of the page.[View Screenshot for Help]
  7. A pop-up window will appear with the ad code. Copy that code.[View Screenshot for Help]
  8. Before pasting the ad code in Blogger, we must make it compatible with Blogger format. So go to http://www.hacktrix.com/adsense-code-converter/ paste the ad code and convert it. You'll find the converted ad code in the bottom box there. Copy the converted ad code.
  9. Open your Blogger account and go to Design then Edit HTML tab and check Expand Widget Templates option.
  10. Press Ctrl + f & find <data:post.body/> you'll see some code like this:
  11.     <div class='post-body entry-content'>
    <data:post.body/>
    <div style='clear: both;'/> <!-- clear for photos floats -->
    </div>
  12. Paste the converted ad code just before the above code. The result would look something like this:
  13. <script type="text/javascript"><!--
    google_ad_client = "ca-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
    /* my ads */
    google_ad_slot = "xxxxxxxxxx";
    google_ad_width = 300;
    google_ad_height = 250;
    //-->
    </script>
    <script type="text/javascript"
    src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
    </script>
    <div class='post-body entry-content'>
    <data:post.body/>
    <div style='clear: both;'/> <!-- clear for photos floats -->
    </div>
  14. Click the PREVIEW button to see the result. Thought you might not see ads below post titles instantly because sometimes Adsense ads take some time to display.
  15. After that save your template by clicking the SAVE TEMPLATE button.

Tip: Make Ads Appear Only on Post Pages


Usually, users don't like to see too many ads on a single page. So, we can hide the ads under post titles on main page. These ads will appear only when users will click the post title and go to the post page. To do that follow the steps above but after step 8 you have the converted ad code. Ad some more code in that converted code so that it should look like this:
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'><script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "ca-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
/* my ads */
google_ad_slot = "xxxxxxxxxx";
google_ad_width = 300;
google_ad_height = 250;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script></b:if>

What I did here is that I've added an if condition to make the ads appear only on post pages. After that, follow the steps above to complete the tutorial.

Blogspot How To: Center Post Title in New Blogger Templates

In this tutorial, I'll explain how you can change the alignment (position) of the post title. By default, post title aligns to left but you can change it to center as well. Currently, Blogger (Blogspot) offers 6 default templates in the Template Designer. This tutorial will work on all those templates.

Just open the Template tab -> Edit HTML button.

Then find (Ctrl + f) the following code:
]]></b:skin>

and REPLACE it with the following one:
h3.post-title { text-align:center; }

]]></b:skin>

Click the PREVIEW button and you'll see that the post title is now centered. After that save your template and enjoy :)

Blogspot How to: Make Images Not Clickable (No Enlarge)

Blogspot How to: Make Images Not Clickable (No Enlarge)

By default, images in Blogger are linked to their full size which means if someone clicks on an image, the same image is opened in full size. This is confusing for blog visitors and it also takes the visitors away from your blog. If you want to make your uploaded images not click-able then I'll tell you a simple trick to do that.

Note: Before reading the tutorial, make sure you know the type of your post editor. If you don't know the type of your editor then simply go to Settings | Basic and at the end of the page, you can see the type of your post editor. Anyways, I'll explain the trick in both old and new post editors.



1- Make Images Not Clickable in Old Post Editor


Make sure you're working in Edit HTML of the old post editor. You can change the editing mode from top right of the post editor. So, upload your image as you normally do. After the image is uploaded, you'll see some code in the post editor. This code is actually the HTML of your uploaded image and it will look something like this:
<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheCF56_Nx5Hl3i5_M_urNoFqYHUdOkNB0mJFIPtGO25x_XXKsjdsAC4N88Za8edWg3bAMj5MpV9DQE1JiLlJIefzKdt84YmyUlT5vLT6Oi6SO3WOjGGluZS9MxdqMiQQDERvXrpKRitTE/s1600/This+is+an+Image.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 259px; height: 194px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheCF56_Nx5Hl3i5_M_urNoFqYHUdOkNB0mJFIPtGO25x_XXKsjdsAC4N88Za8edWg3bAMj5MpV9DQE1JiLlJIefzKdt84YmyUlT5vLT6Oi6SO3WOjGGluZS9MxdqMiQQDERvXrpKRitTE/s400/This+is+an+Image.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536049028840403346" border="0" /></a>

The code for my image is divided in Red and Green parts. The Red part is responsible for making the image a link and green part displays the image. So, you need to delete that part of your image which is marked red in my image and leave the Green part as it is.

1- Make Images Not Clickable in New Updated Post Editor


So, if you're using the new updated post editor then the code for uploaded image will be a little different. Just make sure you're working in the Edit HTML mode. In Edit HTML mode of the post editor, you'll see the code of the uploaded image instead of the image itself. So, upload an image and you'll see some code like this:
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUJ8sA5poEyj54xzH2yzBA9_D9OlsGHGhZlwm1MMTwgRH86OJtmJzIZ8rQRhnRB1X1tHWxtIxtBvm8Q1hdIlI-wr5MUsuEdvkrYsbQFkW2SOulcfBpTabb76hKrm_9BySOgVWk_HpRvlU/s1600/This+is+an+Image.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUJ8sA5poEyj54xzH2yzBA9_D9OlsGHGhZlwm1MMTwgRH86OJtmJzIZ8rQRhnRB1X1tHWxtIxtBvm8Q1hdIlI-wr5MUsuEdvkrYsbQFkW2SOulcfBpTabb76hKrm_9BySOgVWk_HpRvlU/s1600/This+is+an+Image.jpg" /></a></div>

As you can see that the code is divided in Red, Green and Blue parts. reen part displays the image, Red makes it a link and Blue is responsible for the alignment of the image. So, just delete the red part from your image and it will not be click-able.

Blogspot How To: Add the Official Twitter Tweet Buttons in Blogger

Blogspot How To: Use the Official Twitter Tweet Buttons

Twitter is the most popular social networking site on internet. People share links on Twitter which receive a lot of traffic. You can also add the official Twitter tweet button with or without counter. This button will enable your blog visitors to easily share useful links on their Twitter accounts.

Get the Button Code!


First of all go to http://twitter.com/goodies/tweetbutton. Now follow these steps to get the code:

  1. Select the button from 3 available choice.

  2. If you've a Twitter account then enter your username in the second field. By doing this, whenever someone will share your blog post on Twitter, your username will also be added to that tweet. If you don't have a Twitter account, I strongly recommend to make one but, for now, you can skip this option.

  3. Copy the code from the box.


Add the Code in Your Blog!


Now we need to add the Twitter tweet button code in our Blogger blog. So, go to Design and then Edit HTML tab. Check Expand Widget Templates box. Search for this code:
<data:post.body/>

Place Twitter tweet button code immediately after the above code. You can also place the Twitter tweet button code immediately before the above code but then the Twitter button will appear between the post title and body.

Add Custom Text in the Twitter Tweet Button!


You can also add your own message in the Twitter button. For example if you want to add Hey, check it out: THE POST TITLE then you need to change expr:data-text='data:post.title' to expr:data-text='“Hey, check it out:“+data:post.title'.

Display Twitter Button Only on Post Pages!


If you want the tweet button to appear only on post pages then you need to change the button code. Now, your code will look something like this:
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
Twitter Tweet Button Code HERE
</b:if>
Blogspot How To: Quickly Get Your Blog Indexed by Search Engines

Blogspot How To: Quickly Get Your Blog Indexed by Search Engines

This is the most commonly asked question by new blog owners. Everyone loves traffic and traffic comes from search engines so we must make sure that our blog is regularly indexed by search engines specially Google. Here are simple things you can do to make sure the search engines always keep an eye on your blog and its content.

1- Submit Your Blog URL to Search Engines!


This is the first and most important step. You have to submit the address or URL of your blog to search engines. Tell them you're here & ready to rock. Here is a tutorial:

2- Submit Your Blog Sitemap to Google!


After submitting your URL, you should also submit your sitemap to Google. Sitemap contains links to all of your posts so it will help search engines crawl deeply. Google offers a very convenient way to do that through Google Webmaster Tools. Here is a video tutorial to do that:

3- Add a Followers Gadget & Encourage People to Follow You!


Blogger offers a fantastic gadget called Followers. It allows people to follow your blog which means whenever you'll publish a new post, it will appear on your followers' dashboard. For details see these links:

-> How do I add the Following gadget to my blog?

-> What is Following?

4- Link to Other Blogs!


Ask your friends or colleagues to add a link to your blog on their blogs. Make sure to avoid linking to spam or porn sites. Try linking to your older posts while writing new posts. For example, I've added links to previously written tutorials in this post.

5- Search Engines Love Fresh Content!


Make sure to add quality content and write often on your blog. Encourage comments and answer them regularly. Search Engines love updated content and will crawl your blog constantly. Don't copy from other blogs because duplicate content can result in severe punishments by search engines.

Final Words!


Nothing happens overnight. Don't be disappointed if you're not seeing any sudden changes in traffic. Changes can take at least a month or more depending on your blog's popularity and content quality. Install some tracking service (Google Analytics or SiteMeter) to keep an eye on your traffic and monitor the results. Feel free to ask any question or share anything good.

How to Enable Official Share Buttons in Blogspot/Blogger Templates

Blogger has officially announced sharing buttons. These buttons let your readers share posts on social networks like Twitter, Facebook & Google Plus. These sites bring traffic and are important for search engine rankings. The great thing is that the share buttons automatically shortens post URL/address because Twitter allows only 160 characters per tweet. In this post, I'll explain how you can enable official share buttons.

First, Enable the Share Buttons!


Enabling share buttons under Blogger posts is very easy. Just go to Layout. Edit the Blog Posts gadget and enable Show Share Buttons option. Click the following image to see full size:


What to Do If Share Buttons Do Not Appear?

  1. Open the Template section.
  2. Blogger Updated Dashboard
  3. Click the Edit HTML button.
  4. Blogger Edit HTML Button
  5. A new window will open. Click the Proceed button to start editing.
  6. Blogger Proceed Button
  7. Check Expand Widget Templates option. The page will automatically refresh.
  8. find this code:
        <data:post.body/>
    and REPLACE it with the following code:
        <data:post.body/>
    <div class='post-share-buttons'>
    <b:include data='post' name='shareButtons'/>
    </div>
  9. That's it. Click Preview button and you will see share buttons right under the post body. After that, save your template.

Important: After saving the template. Make sure that the buttons are enabled in Blog Posts widget as described in the previous section of this tutorial.

How to Show Share Buttons Only on Post Pages?


By default, share buttons will appear on all pages. It might look a little messy and some people might want share buttons to appear only on post pages. To do that, you need to add a simple if-else condition. Instead of the above code, add this code after <data:post.body/>:
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
<div class='post-share-buttons'>
<b:include data='post' name='shareButtons'/>
</div>
</b:if>

If you've any problem, feel free to leave me a comment.

Update! Share Buttons are Grey


Many of you guys are complaining that the share buttons are appearing in Grey color. Well, don't worry about that because that's how they should appear. I don't know any method (yet) to make them colored. By default, they are Grey and will only become colorful when you'll bring mouse over them.
