Good news for all New Blogger users who want to make more money through Adsense!One of the most strategic place to put adsense is in between posts.Recently, Blogger has enabled a feature which allows us to place adsense ads in between blog posts.Here are the links from Blogger and Googles Adsense Blog for the instructions to do so:* http://adsense.blogspot.com/2007/08/get-inline.html* http://

For bloggers, sometimes we can’t avoid to deal with HTML. Although we don’t need to become an “expert” in HTML codes, understanding at least the very basic of HTML can really help to improve the appearance of your blog.Here are some websites that I like for learning basic HTML:* http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp (You can do experimenting HTML in this website too)* http://

When you create a few blogs under one Blogger account, all the blogs you created will be shown in your profile when the readers click “View My Complete Profile” link under “About Me”. However, if the blog has just been created or not ready to be published yet and you don’t want other people to view them first, you can “hide” it to prevent people from viewing it.There are 2 possible ways that I

There are a few ways to add an image or a picture to a Blogger’s header as the background of blog’s title and description. However, some of the ways are more complex or need some changes to the HTML codes. I prefer the easy and simpler way.Here are the steps of a simpler way to add an image to the Header:1) Log in to Blogger. In the Dashboard, click “Layout” and it will bring you to “Template” >>

The updated Google Adsense Program Policy allows the publishers to place maximum of 3 Link Units on a single page, instead of 1. One strategic place to put Link Unit is below or above the blog header, as it works like a navigation link.To do so in New Blogger template, we need to add a new page element widget at the blog header part. However, the New Blogger templates, both standard and modified

Suppose the text alignment of the blog’s header (for blog’s title and description) is center. However, you prefer the text alignment for the blog’s title and description to be left-aligned, instead of centered-aligned.Here are the steps to change the text alignment of the header:1) Log in to Blogger. In the Dashboard, click “Layout” and it will bring you to “Template” tab. Then click “Edit HTML”.

The new Blogger standard templates or some other modified templates available in the web generally do not provide an “Add a Page Element” widget for us to add a page element at the top of the main column (blog posts column). The “Add a Page Element” widget is usually only available for sidebar and footer.For instance, you want to place Adsense at the top the main column in every page. Or perhaps

Sometimes you may find the new Blogger (Blogger Beta) templates that you like for your blog. However, you’re not very happy with the width of the template. And you want to make some changes to the width of the template.For example:You are using standard Minima (2 column) template and you’d like to put adsense’s Banner format (468 x 60) at the top of the main column. However, the main column for

Sometimes, we need to know the width of the header, main column or sidebar of our blog.For example, when we are selecting the format for the adsense code. Suppose I’d like to place Banner format (468 x 60) on top of the main column. That means the width of the main column must at least have 468px width.Here is how you can find out the width of the header, main column or sidebar of your blog:1)

Before you make any changes to the Blogger template codes, please remember to save a copy of your original codes first as a backup. In case there is something wrong, you can get back your original template again.There are 2 ways of backing up your Blogger template codes that I usually use:ALTERNATIVE 1:In the “Template” >> “Edit HTML” tab, click “Download Full Template”.This way, the template

Frankly, I have no idea what site encoding is for. But you need to know this info when you’re setting up Google Adsense for Search to get the HTML codes to be put in your site.If you don’t select the correct option, your Google Search could not work properly.After searching, I found the answer in Google Adsense Help.Here is how to find out what your site encoding.

Categories or Tags are called LABELS in new Blogger. Labels are important keywords which describe what your post is all about. Labels are normally shown below the post. To make your blog more reader-friendly, add a Label Widget in the sidebar which allows the viewers to instantly locate the posts that are relevant to his topic of interest. By clicking on a label below a post or in the Label
