Tips for blog blogger.com

Published by admin under blogger, blogging, internet, tips


after make setup of you blog and start posting, you may work not only with page element but html code. you must be extra careful when editing you html code and i suggest you make backup before change anything. to backup simply copy all, paste in you notepad and save in you computer. to restore it open the notepad where you save before and paste into you working area(you may also use upload function to restore old html).

today tips is on how to solved following problem:

i).XML error message: Element type “link” must be followed by either attribute specifications, “>” or “/>”.(*link could be anything tag name)

to solved this, you must understand the line below which built-in into you blogger html.

ii).<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd”>

you can found this at you layout->template->html at the top most.

this code (ii) will validate you html, css and java script syntax before the browser loading you page. in this case you want to edit you html in you working area. if the tag you supply not well performed or meet above (ii)requirements then error message will appear like mention above(i).

Solution:

Your XHTML/XML document is not well-formed; it probably includes directly adjacent attribute specifications like:

<div xml:lang=“de”lang=”de”>

This is not allowed in XML, there must be a white-space character between the attribute specifications, so write:

<div xml:lang=“de” lang=”de”>
at this point you problem has solved and you may continue you modification.

nothing to do with “must be followed by either attribute specifications, “>” or “/>”.”

optimizing blog DIY

Published by admin under blogging, internet, marketing


today i’m going to reveal on how to optimized you blog. others may make money from report like this while you get it for free from webringnet.com

01.Platform
there is so many platform out there that you can choose, just to name a few-wordpress (like mine), blogger, live journal, msn live, multiply and typepad. i can say that blogger are more popular than other type because of it age (not because of google). blogger are easy to integrate with adsense advertistment both domain and sub domain while wordpress can’t in subdomain and i think this why newbie prefer choose blogger. wordpress need to set permission in order to edit file and this normally can be set when you login to you server.

02.Layout
at this stage you work more on technical skill. after registration or setup blog next step do is to configure layout or how it look. you may working on php file or css stylesheet. layout is most important thing to get best impression from user about you blog. just think a girl without makeup.CSS vs MakeUp how she look like? you may choose like 2 column, 3 column and so on for layout presentation. column are important to place you post, widget and adv space. you can manage widget easily in blogger while wordpress use text1, text2, text3 etc. which is not user friendly to newbie. if you don’t understand what is html, css, php, header, footer etc. you can find it on the net with a blink eyebelieve me

03.content
after configuring everything, you can start post a content as you wish. make sure that content must be informative to user, since we don’t know what type of user, where they came from, how old are they and so on, unless you have specific target audience. i.e college student.
try to avoid much graphic, animation, audio, video on you page ( if you want to show something just make a link to it unless it very important for you to show or main point of you post). this file use lot of bandwidth and slow down you page loading. unless you know your server and user connection are faster.

04.visitor
next important thing is to bring visitor to you new site. consider you are chef de mission of olyimpic 2008 in Beijingolympic. unfortunately nobody come to see the event, because of bad or wrong promotion.

you attract visitor in many ways. learn the following:

i. register in community portal or social community. i.e mybloglog, blogcatalog, bumpzee, tweeter and so on. participate in discussion

ii. visiting other blog (encourage to all blogger). when you visit to other blog you avatar(i) will appear and this will bring traffic to your blog.

iii. drop some comment and you will get comment back

iv. participate in community forum. put you blog at you signature so user can click on it. the more you post the more potential traffic you get to you blog.

v. email you friends about you new blog. don’t spam anybody they(may) hate you.

vi. viral or words of mouth

vii. join groups

05.directory submission

if you want to be listed on search engine like google and yahoo. you must submit you url to this search engine for free. there is lots of directory on the net and offer different category. choose the best match with you blog. they may free and some are monthly or yearly fees. for free submission there is no guarantee you blog in listing and it take up to 6 month to list if you lucky. while the paying submission will listed at least within 24 hours.

in order you blog to recognize by the search engine, you must ‘develop’ some keywords on you head (html)section of you landing page. search engine will release spider and look for you keywords. most of the web authoring tool doesn’t provide this automatically, and thus you must write it manually.

06. pinging

i was thinking that this criteria should not be left off. pinging means to tell the server or directory (mostly search engine)that you have post a new content of you blog. this directory will update you post content and make easier for others to see or find. you should make ping to you blog after make new posting or at least once in 3 months. you may try ping service at technorati or ping-o-matic

another term for pinging is to check weather you site or server are on. Pinging is a command which tells you if the connection between your computer and a particular domain is working correctly.pinging

this is to test speed and packet lost during transmission.

Blog optimization does not stop here. understand the first 6, other will be continue as long as i get an idea.
