How does one add an image to the top of a blogger web page? Mine it www.tuliobertorini.com?

Any suggestions. Blogger does not really help in explaining how to do it.

Grrr. Can anyone tell me if there is an EASY way to post an SU button on my blogger site?

Grrr. Can anyone tell me if there is an EASY way to post an Stumble Upon button on my blogger site?

The instructions on the Stumble Upon button %26amp; tools page are so confusing. With digg,reddit %26amp; others, you just cut %26amp; copy, but for SU you have to download images, then upload them to blogger, (where in blogger, it doesn't say) and a few other steps. Is there an easy cut n paste that I can do this with?

Grrr. Can anyone tell me if there is an EASY way to post an SU button on my blogger site?
Use "Contact us" at the website.

The asker has chosen to ask a question that begins with "Grr. Can anyone tell me . . . ?"

In this manner he or she is asking whether anyone can tell them, rather than asking for what they really wish to know. That is indeed the meaning of the question.

For that reason, I must answer that there is certainly someone who can tell the asker. That is an accurate answer to the question as asked.

I would think that the asker's next job is to locate that person.

I would like to know yahoo360 has anything like adsense like blogger.com has google adsense option?
Yes. Yahoo has a program similar to Google Adsense where publishers including bloggers can put ads on their sites and earn money from it. Their program is called Yahoo Publishers Network http://publisher.yahoo.com/

However, YPN is still in beta and is open by invitation only (you apply and you wait until they accept you). The program is currently open only to US residents.

The beta has been available since last year. Many people thought that it would be open to non-USA by end of 2005, but it did not happen. Nobody knows when it will be available to non-US publishers. Just apply at this point, and when the program is available to residents of your country, Yahoo will contact you.

What is the best image hosting/sharing site for bloggers using blogger.com?

The most important feature I need is something that has the unlimited bandwidth. I'm also looking for image site that is fast so that images will load quickly on my blog.

I would also prefer something that has an embedded slideshow feature, but that's isn't really important.

Dont forget that blogger.com always asks for the URL when inserting images so I need a site that instantly displays the URL with the image.

Reply:.com or anything after dot is known as an extention. all the dotcoms are called domain names. They are rented names. you have to buy them from certain websites for a year or 2 yrs or as many years as yo want then you have to buy webhosting which is Hard Drive space in a server somewhere in an Internet Service Provider company. They will connect that hard drive space to your dot com and then you can put files on your dotcom and it will be your website. I hope this helps.

How come my Adsense Banner have nothing to do with my blogger information?

How come my banner ad on my Google Adsense Have nothing to do with my inforamtion on my Blogger

How come my Adsense Banner have nothing to do with my blogger information?
Use the Adsense feature called SECTION TARGETING https://www.google.com/support/adsense/b... wherein you let Adsense know what sections to focus on so it will read only those sections and provide more targeted ads for you.

Adsense can be flaky with blogs - oftentimes you see ads for blog software or other blog providers, but not ads on the actual content of your blog. With section targeting, you can put codes before and after the section you want the keywords to be based on. So you need to put the section targeting codes in the main body of your blog, excluding the navigation.

Here's what Google Adsense help says:

"Section targeting allows you to suggest sections of your text and HTML content that you'd like us to emphasize or downplay when matching ads to your site's content. By providing us with your suggestions, you can assist us in improving your ad targeting. We recommend that only those familiar with HTML attempt to implement section targeting."

How do I find/fix a robot.txt file on blogger.com?

All was well with my blog for several weeks, getting 400-600 hits per day and growing. All of a sudden 2 days ago, all traffic stopped. Down to 50-60 per day. Checked Google optimization, said the site was not crawled due to robot.txt file?

Help, I'm using Blogger.com.

How do I find/fix a robot.txt file on blogger.com?
robots.txt is a file that tells web crawlers what directories and files to not index in a search.

There is no way, unless you own the site, to change the file.
Reply:You can't fix blogger blog robot.txt, because blogger is free blog hosting service.

You can do it only on your own hosting account.

The reason of your traffic stop is the 'Google sandbox' - Google stop to bring traffic to your blog, this is often happens with new (young) blogs, don't worry about that, it's not for long.

I have been writing a blog for 5 years and Blogger.com has deleted it because ...?

... they say I deleted my google account and my blog was deleted with it

How the hell can this be? I didn't even know I had a google account attached to my blogger.com blog (blogspot)

I have been writing the blog for five years and written about 30,000 words.

I have contacted them and it takes them about two weeks to respond and they just send a format message

Does anyone understand this? I am flummoxed!

I just did a search on this issue and a site called 'TechCrunch' has reported that some google accountswere deleted by Google themselves - by mistake

Can anyone unravel this thing for me? I am devastated if my blog has been deleted completely

I have been writing a blog for 5 years and Blogger.com has deleted it because ...?
Blogger CAN RESCUE your deleted blog. They keep back-up copies of it so, you should be able to get some of your blog back.

Why do I need a Google Account to use Blogger?

Google Accounts are better protected against fraud, impersonation, and abuse. In addition, it's easier to use other Google services like AdWords, Google Groups, Google Alerts, Personalized Search, your Personalized Homepage, Google Answers, and many future Google services. You can find out more about Google Accounts at the Google Accounts FAQ.

If you delete your Google Account:

* You'll permanently remove the Google products associated with that account, such as your orkut profile, your iGoogle page, and your web history.

* If you use Gmail with your account, you'll no longer be able to access that email. You'll also be unable to reuse your Gmail username.

As long as you haven't deleted your entire Google Account, you may be able to regain use of your Gmail username by following these steps:

1. Sign in at https://www.google.com/accounts using the email address currently associated with your Google Account.

Note: If you deleted Gmail from your account, but didn't delete your entire account, you'll most likely still be able to sign in with what was your alternate email address (now your primary username). If you're not able to sign in with this email address, you may have deleted your entire account. In this case, you won't be able to recover your Gmail username.

2. While still signed in, visit www.gmail.com and click Sign up for Gmail. You'll be taken to a Gmail sign-up form, and your old Gmail username will be pre-populated in the username field.

3. Complete the form, enter your existing Google Account password, and click Continue.

After you complete this process, you should be able to use Gmail again to send and receive emails.

Try to get your username / google account back, after that:

1. Immediately, OPEN A NEW BLOG -under your same username- WITH THE SAME URL (the name you should see on the bar) of the deleted blog. This is VERY important, so that no-one can claim that URL on purpose or unknowing your problem. You can paste there your template, that should be saved as Peter explains every time you change it, and the cache versions of the latest posts, at least, and -in my case I did this- an explanatory post so that readers know why the archives etc are gone.

2. Before all the cache recovering and pasting, SEND AN E-MAIL TO BLOGGER SUPPORT explaining what has happened. You shall get an automatic reply within a day or two, but don't let that put you off: Blogger seems to have a centralized staff for the whole worldwide community, so they get rid of silly questions like that. REPLY TO THE AUTOMATIC E-MAIL YOU RECEIVED and state clearly what happened, that you erased your blog by mistake.

3. Now you can go through caches, cry and tear your hair out or write 10,000 times 'I shall not click on a button without reading it' while you wait for the next, personal, email you shall get from Blogger. A staff member shall contact you and ask a couple of questions but IT DOES TAKE A WEEK OR TWO -In my case, about two weeks. Once in touch with a Real Person, though, I got my whole blog back again, comments and all, and a warning that the new version i had done meanwhile to keep my URL would be replaced when I republished. So,

4. Make the temporary blog a new one, if you have been posting actively in the mean time, by modifying its URL before republishing. This way, you shall have your old blog, a new temp one to copy%26amp;paste posts from and a lesson learnt -one hopes!

Hope this helps! Good luck!

I want to ad 10 website text links on my blogger. Do I add them as text or do I use html under options.?
I don't know what you mean by the links "are not registering with Google or Yahoo." The links work fine.

It takes a while for search engines to index a site. Whether or not they follow external links in the page depends on the context of the links; right now, those links have no context, so that may be impeding ranking results, if that's what you mean.

If that's the case, your problems have more to do with simply slapping links on a page than with any technical problem. You can't simply stick a link on a Web page and expect it to rank well. You have to place the link in the context of some meaningful text for it to index well.

I'm a silversmith/jewelry designer. Can I sell on Blogger? How do I add my company to search engines?

I have a Yahoo 360 page listed under Jessica Dow, which is open to the public. Somone with experience might get a better idea of the best market for my work after seeing some examples. I also have links there to on-line portfolios and my new BLOGGER page ( which has some larger pictures of my custom work). I already have a few things on eBAY, on a trial basis. But I don't think eBAY is the right place for work such as mine. Any advice would be very helpful. I'm planning on starting a professional web-site, but most of the web-site designers I've seen charge prices currently not within my budget. I know there are site-builders, but I don't want a cheap knock off design ( template ) for my site. I want my site to reflect the same quality and beauty as the work I sell there. If that means I have to wait to hire a high priced professional, I'll do that. I'd appreciate hearing of any other options.

I'm a silversmith/jewelry designer. Can I sell on Blogger? How do I add my company to search engines?
That's a good idea--I'd first thoroughly read Blogger's TOS (Terms of Service), their rules, etc. To make sure, I'd e-mail them (there's most likely a contact link somewhere on the website) asking about your business and your ideas to sell on Blogger. It doesn't seem necessary, but imagine your site being shut down to all the customers and the consequences of breaking the rules (if there are any against it, that is).

As for getting it noticed, a good first step is to get a 'dot-tk'. Basically, you pick a URL for your website (like mydesgins.tk). After that, you submit your Blogger URL, and anyone who types the URL from .tk is will be redirected to your site. So if they type in mydesigns.tk, that will be the URL in the bar, but your Blogger will load. It does have one page of advertisments beore redirecting, but it allows you to put in keywords to help people find your site on search engines. Even if no one uses the .tk URL, just having your site up on search engines is a benefit itself!

As for a professional website design--I'll make you one, free-of-charge. No links, nothing. I know, coming from someone you hardly know (and for free), it sounds like I wouldn't be able to do a quality job, but I will--I'll do it because I enjoy it. Contact me with details if you want me to make a layout, good luck with selling!
Reply:Hi, perhaps you can try Google adwords to market your service/product.

Google adwords is a text-based system for advertising on its site and its partner sites. The service allows you to create your own ads, choose keywords to help match your ads to your audience, and control the cost of your advertising—you pay only when people click on your ad (a cost per click plan). Anyone wishing to promote a product on Google can enroll in this program.

you can get a 5 detail pages information about Google adwords at :

Reply:Try claire's accesories that is more easy to reach.

Also focus on the boutiques near you to supplie with your products.

Reply:You're right. Ebay is not fit for you. Why, because many people are still afraid to purchase products sold on ebay site. They are looking for more secured sites, where they are sure that they are not scams. Blogger site, however, is still not fit for you, nor the yahoo 360 page. This is because these sites are designed for bloggers mostly. Well, there are still many free professional-looking sites you could choose from. Some of these are:

What Programming language is used to create orkut ,myspace and blogger etc ?

can anyone tell me what programming language is used to create orkut myspace and blogger etc ?

What Programming language is used to create orkut ,myspace and blogger etc ?
myspace is using coldfusion and asp.net, see on file extensions that .cfm means that cold fusion, and aspx means that asp.net (different from asp),

orkut uses asp.net (again aspx extension)

most of google things like blogger, gmail.. etc. uses python, you can read a small text here about google and python: http://www.python.org/about/quotes/
Reply:Myspace is hosted on IIS, so I would guess they might use ASP/Microsoft SQL Server, although they DO use ColdFusion (you see a lot of *.cfm). Orkut and Blogger seem to be hosted on Linux with Apache, so they're probably in PHP.

Those might be totally wrong but they're probably on the right track.

How does Google profit out of a service such as Blogger?
They don't make money out of Blogger per say. But they want more traffic from users to create "portal loyalties" so that these users can then be "channeled" to other Google services which bring in ad revenues.

Just like Yahoo created Answers for us to get "hooked" on to the Yahoo network.

How do you add friends or contacts to you Gmail Blogger page?

I have recently found Gmail has a thing called Blogger and it's pretty cool. Just can't seem to figure out how to add my friends or contacts to my blog so I can more easily view their blogs. Thanks!

How do you add friends or contacts to you Gmail Blogger page?
Social Networking is what it is called,

that feature is not built into blogger like other types of networking

However, you can make others members of your blog so that you may allow them to write in your blog as you do and .....

if you want to restrict access to your blog to only those whom you allow, you may add them as members who can read

I'm great with traditional HTML coding, but HOW do you code a blogger layout?

I'm perfectly literate with traditional webpage design and coding (I can design an entire website from scratch), but I have absolutely no clue where to begin with coding a blogger blogskin. All the widgets and funny codes drive me mad!

(I'm alright with CSS, but I'm a lot more comfortable playing with HTML.)

Help, anyone? I just need to know how to work with the template codes, and if there's any simple way to integrate blogger's custom "codes" into a normal website code. (Note: I do plan on using blogspot.. Not on my own, personal site URL.)

Thank you!

You can begin by downloading the code of a template that matches your style and play around with it. Just leave the widget part alone.

Most blogger templates rely on css.
