Add Reddit button with count on your blog

Again here with a cool blogger hack.You read earlier about adding Digg button to your post. So i thought how can i be so rude at reddit since both sites work similar and reddit also provides traffic as same as digg. So this post is dedicated about adding reddit button in your blog. If you are not familiar to reddit and not clear about its benefit for your blog then you can visit Reddit homepage.

Its not hard to add reddit button to your post so that the post can be added to reddit by the readers. Its just some alter of codes like adding digg button and you got it. Ok lets start, first goto Edit HTML section of your Layout and also click Expand widget Templates. Now, search for <data:post.body/>
Now if you want to put your reddit button on the top right then replace the above code with this one.

<div style='float:left; margin-right:10px;'>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.reddit.com/button.js?t=2"></script>
</div>
<data:post.body/>

You can also keep the reddit button on the top right section by relacing the <data:post.body/> by the code given below.

<div style='float:right; margin-right:10px;'>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.reddit.com/button.js?t=2"></script>
</div>
<data:post.body/>

You can keep experimenting with codes to keep it in some more parts of the blog. Anyway, if you liked this then i hope a comment from you.

Add background in your blog

Adding background in a blog, that is what we are talking about now. Bored up with the template color and want to add some twist by adding background to a blog then this post is for you.

For adding background in your blog, first you need an background image. Squidfingers is the one with lots of background images. After choosing your background image, you should upload it to the web. I use Google pages for this mostly. Now we found our background image and we uploaded it to the net so what should we do next? Next, shut down your computer. Wait, just kidding. Now search for the following code in your Edit HTMl page of layout section.

body {
background:$bgcolor;

We need to add the url of the background image in the following format:

url(url-of-your-image)

Now put your image url just below the first code and it may look like this:

body {
background:$bgcolor;
url(http://rabinsmith.googlepages.com/pattern_127.gif);

Now replace my url with your own image url. Be sure ; appears at the end of the statement.
Now if you did well then your background must be visible after you save the template and reload your blog.
this was todays post about adding background on your blog. You can also check other blogger hacks like Control number of pages displayed in label page and showing first letter of the post Big.

You must have noticed your blog title shown first followed by the title of post in the search engine result. This thing doesnot sounds that cool. So how to get rid of it? From the help of archit, i finally got rid of it and i am describing the process of the blogger hack here.
Goto layout and then to edit HTML page of your blog. Now search for the following code:

<title><data:blog.title/></title>

If you didn't found that code then you can try searching this code instead:

Now replace that code with the code given below:

<!-- Blogger Swap Title by Archit T at http://blog.archit.in -->
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
<title>
<data:blog.pageName/> | <data:blog.title/>
</title>

</b:if>

Another blog widget and this time with a post rating widget for blogger. Yeah the same post rating widget you can see after the post in my blog. This Post rating widget was developed by Js-kit and i am acting as a promoter, free promoter would be the best word.

This post rating blogger widget is cool as it has cool features. You can see how many votes your post has got and also can see the rating of the post in stars. Js-kit has indeed developed a good blogger widget. But this is not the only reason i am writing this post.

The website gives the idea about code placing in another format which the ammature blogger like me find confusing. So here is the complete process.
Goto 'edit HTML' page from your "layout' and search for the following code:

<div class='post-footer'>
<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'>

Now place the code below just above the upper code.

<div class="js-kit-rating" title="" permalink=""></div>
<script src="http://js-kit.com/ratings.js"></script>

Now save the template and you are done. that was easy and i don't hesitate to admit that i made it easier then the original sites description.

But this blogger hack doesn't removes the blog post date rather it just hides the blog post date from your reader so that you shouldn't have to remove the code from your template.

Start by going to Dashboard then to Layout and finally to edit HTML.

h2.date-header {
margin:1.5em 0 .5em;
}

Now replace the above code with the following code below:

h2.date-header {
margin:1.5em 0 .5em;
display:none;
}

Now save the template, reload the blog and thank me. This was easy, wasn't it?

A blogger widget to create Drop down menu easily.

You must have seen my old posts on creating Drop down menu and drop down labels. Those blogger hacks were cool but since we should play with HTML codes to create Drop down menu and labels there it wasn't hassle free or lets say they were not that easy. So i am here with the easiest way to create Drop down menu. i am here with a page designed by hackosphere that can create Drop down menu by just entering title and URL. here's more about it.

This is the easiest Drop down menu creator i have ever seen. You can create your drop down archive or drop down labels anything by this tool.No, you shouldn't play with HTML codes nor you should edit your template. Just enter the title and URL and your drop down menu is ready for you. And another good thing is after you created your drop down menu you can put it in your blog with one click. See the screenshot below created by my own brother to understand it.

Visit Drop Down Menu creator page.

Create Table of contents: A blogger hack.

Back again with a blogger hack and this time with a coolest thing. You can see 'Show Table of contents' section in my blog now where all my table of contents will be loaded with one click. You can try it just to see what table of content looks like if you haven't seen it earlier. Well before starting to write about this blogger hack, i want to remember Hans of beautifulbeta who created this blogger hack as far as i know. Well, i am deriving his codes and hacks but i am trying to write in a much simpler way then him. So here is the process to create a Table of contents in your blog.

Table of contents helps your readers to find your posts easily. Just add some codes and all your posts are one click away from your readers.
Goto blogger 'Edit HTMl' page and search for the code <b:section> with id=main. This is the section which held blog posts. Now replace that line with the following code.

<b:section class='main' id='main' maxwidgets='2' showaddelement='yes'>

Now add the following CSS code to the head section of your template. This code is for the style of your table of contents. You can change this code according to your choice. The best place to add this code is just above ]]></b:skin> I am saying this place now because i was really confused about at which place of the head section should i put this code when i was creating my own Table of contents.


<style type="text/css">
#toc {
border: 0px solid #000000;
background: #ffffff;
padding: 5px;
width:500px;
margin-top:10px;
}
.toc-header-col1, .toc-header-col2, .toc-header-col3 {
background: #ffd595;
color: #000000;
padding-left: 5px;
width:250px;
}
.toc-header-col2 {
width:75px;
}.toc-header-col3 {
width:125px;
}
.toc-header-col1 a:link, .toc-header-col1 a:visited, .toc-header-col2 a:link, .toc-header-col2 a:visited, .toc-header-col3 a:link, .toc-header-col3 a:visited {
font-size:80%;
text-decoration:none;
}
.toc-header-col1 a:hover, .toc-header-col2 a:hover, .toc-header-col3 a:hover {
font-size:80%;
text-decoration:underline;
}
.toc-entry-col1, .toc-entry-col2, .toc-entry-col3 {
padding-left: 5px;
font-size:70%;
}
</style>

Now you are done with 'edit HTML' page. Now save the template and go to 'page elements' section.
Now click on 'add a page element' and then click on 'HTML/Javascript'. Now paste the code there leaving title blank.

<div id="toc"></div>

Now do the final step. Again add a new page element and click on HTML/javascript. Now paste the code there and keep the title 'Table of contents'.

<div id="toclink"><a href="javascript:showToc();">Show TOC</a><br/><br/></div>
<script style="text/javascript" src="http://home.planet.nl/~hansoosting/downloads/blogtoc.js"></script>
<script src="http://YOURBLOG.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=json-in-script&max-results=999&callback=loadtoc"></script>

Change YOURBLOG with your own name and congratulate yourself for making your own table of contents.
This was todays blogger hack on creating table of contents. You can also try other blogger hacks like Adding Yahoo! emotion on your blog post or making your images tweak on blogger.

6 mistakes blogger should avoid while writing post!

Okay, i told you earlier about What to do when you have nothing to post about. and Polishing one cool old post to make a new one Now i am here with the 6 mistakes blogger should avoid while writing. I know there are many mistakes we make while writing posts but what to do? I though so long and just came up with 6. Well. here are the six supreme mistakes you should do often when you want your blog to be screwed.

1. Don't write about your dog, girlfriend or kid: Well i have no problem if you write abot these if you have a Personal blog but if you really want to get more readers and more rank then forget about your so called 'love of life' while writing post. I personally feel so bored when i read a blog describing blogger's dog, his kids eye or what ios the weight of his kid. So writing more about your familiar stuff is a big No no. Dude, who cares if your girlfriend kisses like a Slut? So foget them and write your post.

2. Don't interrupt your writing with lots of links: If you are using lots of links here and there then forget getting good response from readers. Many links in the post seems blog so dirty and dirty posts are not so welcomed in the blogosphere. So avoid using lots of links in between your posts and help make your blog a eye candy.

3. Don't promote yourself: Who are you to promote yourself a lot in your post? A new Newton or you invented an atom bomb? You are just one in a millions user of blogosphere. So keep your attitude and story within yourself and STOP promoting yourself and your personal stuffs at the expense of readers.

4. Don't be boring: Yeah don't be boring like me or be ready to have no improvement like this blog. You better try to make your blog interesting by using good languages and nice examples. Entertainment with knowledge rules here so screw your boring articles and put some pressure on your head about making articles interesting.

5. No copy and paste: If you only remember this then be assured that your blog will have a long lifetime. Don't ever think that copying John Chow's article will make you the next John Chow. Just adding mo!re pages on your blog doesn't means you will have a great blog. There has been overwhelming increase in number of bloggers so from now onwards ONLY CREATIVE BLOGGERS CAN SURVIVE HERE. Copying only helps best in high school exam and if you want to do same on blogging, forget it! And even if you copy someones post the don't forget to give a link to the original post or you will have the worst nightmare ever. I was nearly screwed doing this but now i am changed.

6. Don't give your all attention on money: Nowadays many people are bloggers as they want to make some quick money but in real there is no quick money in internet unless you are click scam. Writing too much of sponsored post can also make you lose your readers. Many is not bad thing but if you want to make it big on blogging, money doesn't deserves all the attention.

Well this was my Polished post on the mistakes that should be avoid while writing posts and i know this must be the worst suggestion you ever read on internet. If so, i will be so happy if you Subscribe me

Changed the name of my blog

This is just a quick post to inform that i have changed the name of my blog from 'Third world chaos' to 'Blogged up'. I thought that Third world chaos was not a suitable name for this blog talking about blogging. So do you have any comments about my blog's new name or if you have some good name suggestion then please leave a comment here. Thank you all.

Polishing your old Posts to get a new one!

This post is an expanded post of What to do when you have nothing to post about. Sometimes we don't have topic to blog but we want to give new post to readers everyday. So what should we do at that time? Two options, first go to some other blogs and look for the content that may be USEFUL to your readers and write them in your own words and publish them and another option is write nothing at all. the second idea is harmful and the first one is even more harmful as it may not be whole correct thing. So I have third option, polish your old posts and republish it.

There may be some old good posts that haven't created any buzz they deserved. You can use them in this idea. You can examine why that 'Good' post didn't received good response or why that post was not success though being good? Then you can rewrite that post and publish it. I am sure your post will get the good response it deserved.

This doesn't mean that you can polish anything random and publish it. There are many things that should be considered when you are polishing your old post to make it new. First thing to consider is quality of the post and also should keep in mind if that post is relevant to current time. For example you have a post about Lindsay lohan entering rehab but you cannot publish that post now as it isn't relevant now. If you publish the post irrelevant to the current time, i bet you are going to be screwed. Another thing to keep in mind is the posts fruitfulness to your readers. If the post is not fruitful to your readers then there is no benefit of polishing and publishing it. And yes, the main thing you should keep in your mind is correct all the shortcomings and mistakes of old post when you are polishing it. Just copying your old post from the archive and publishing it will make no difference.

If your new polished post meets all the above criteria then you can publish that post now. Since you are going to publish your unnoticed but good post, it will be real treat for your readers and you too will meet will great response. I too polished my old post What to do when you have nothing to post about, corrected my old mistakes and when i published it, i was happy with the response. So when you have nothing to post about, polish your old post to get a new one.

A blogger hack on how to create float images!

Another blogger hack is here so i hope you are ready to welcome it with a drumroll. This tutorial is about creating float images that will always show on your blogs corner although you drag side scroll bar. See the example of floating image (The RSS image is used as floating image there). You can out anything on your blogs corner as your floating image, your dog, your own picture or anything. So here is the step by step tutorial on creating floating images on blog.

Step 1: Login to blogger dashboard then goto 'layout' and 'Edit HTML'

Search for ]]></b:skin> code and put the code below just above that code.

#float_corner {
position:fixed;_position:absolute;bottom:0px;left:0px;clip:
inherit;_top:expression(document.documentElement.scrollTop+document.documentElement.clientHeight-this.clientHeight);_left:expression(document.documentElement.scrollLeft + document.documentElement.clientWidth - offsetWidth);}

The bold text in the code is its position, you can keep it top or right or left anything as your choice.

Step 2: Now put the code below before </body> tag.

<div id="float_corner">

<a href="http://bloggingshits.blogspot.com"> <img src="

http://rabinsmith.googlepages.com/rss.png" border="0" /></a>

</div>

Here, "http://bloggingshits.blogspot.com/" is a link. And
"http://rabinsmith.googlepages.com/rss.png" is image url. You should change these with your own link and image url.

Now save and preview your blog. And if it worked then can i be blessed with a backlink to this post? Thank you so much, that was so kind of you.

Tweaking images add some glamor to your blog. If compared to the normal images, the tweaking images looks like the most beautiful SLUT( i couldn't find a better word, sorry!). And another good thing is it is so easy to make your images tweak in blogger. Just change some HTML codes and your images starts tweaking. Tweak-inkle tweak-inkle little pictures, all i wonder what you are........ sing by yourself! So if you seriously want tweaking images like mine then follow the following steps.
Step 1:

Goto 'Dashboard' and then to 'Layout' and then to 'Edit HTML'. Don't forget to click on 'Expand widget templates'. And yes, backup your template before use.

Step 2:
Search for the following code in your template:

.post img {
padding: 4px;
border: 0px solid $borderColor;
}

Step 3:

Now paste the following code just below the above code in your template.
.
.post img:hover {
position: relative;
top: 1px;
left: 1px;
}

Now save your template and its done. Now to check if you are done or not simply place your mouse cursor above any image and see whether it tweaks or not.

What to do when you have nothing to post about?

This question resembles to pain. You want your feed readers knocking on your blog everyday, you want to increase your post each day and you want to get good traffic from search engines. And these things are widely possible if you have many new content. But sometimes brain doesn't supports you to write new post. Actually brain acts dull during exams but sometimes we feel same while writing a post too. So what to do when you have nothing to post about? Hit your head with a hammer so that some idea may pop out? wait, I have got few ideas on it but I am not sure if you will like these ideas. So, read at your own risk.

1.Free articles site: Okay, if your brain is not working then why not to use others brain. There are loads of free articles in loads of free articles site. Just go to some free articles site like goarticles.com or ezinearticles.com and search for the topic that belongs to your niche. Now get the article, copy it and paste it in your blog. Congratulations, it was your new post today. But please don't ask me about the quality of the articles and number of blogs that have published the same article you published. And yeah a little piece of advice, don't use this option so often otherwise you are going to be screwed by your readers.

2. Blast from the past: Actually, this line belongs to John Chow. But who cares? He doesn't have copyright for this line. This is really cool idea when you have nothing to post. Just check your archive, look for one cool OLD blog post which still have some strength and republish it. Now you have a new post and nobody is going to know it. It will be lot good if you update the post like I am doing now (actually, this post is one of my old post which I updated before republishing it). Trust me, this is the best option.

3. Check your favorite blog or site: Oh my gurus have you got anything for me to publish now? Yeah this is the idea. Just knock on some of your favorite site or blog, look at the content you may be interested, write it in your own way and publish it. This way you will get a new post without lots of time consuming research. My post about Add Digg button to your post and create a drop down menu too lies in this category.

4. Promote other bloggers: Okay, you don't like any of the upper options then why not make this world a better place by helping other bloggers like you? Just pop into some blogs that have good content but not much buzz in the blogosphere, give their blog name with a link pointing to their blog in your post and publish the post. And its like total win-win situation as other fellows too will be promoted and if they are happy they can award you with the backlink. I hope you all know the importance of backlink. So why not try this option?

5. Have no Fear, You tube is here: Last option in my lost. When you are sick of all those upper ideas then You tube comes as a rescue. Just go to You tube, check some cool videos and publish it in your blog. But don't forget to add your own view about that video.

Well, this was my today's post and I hope it will help you when you have nothing to post about. But if it doesn't helps, subscribe Me!

Blogger hack: Create drop Down labels

After talking about blogger hacks like how to create drop down menu and how to add Digg button on your post, in this series of blogger hacks we are talking about how to create Drop down labels. Drop down labels? Yeah, no kidding, i swear of Peter's mom that this blogger hack is going to be cool and really great to implement too.

This blogger hack is not that hard to implement. It is just the game of few codes and you are done. So lets go to the point on how to create Drop Down labels. Firstly go to 'Layout' then to 'Edit HTML' and click on the 'Expand widget template' checkbox. i am again repeating the same boring thing 'Please download your full template first'. Okay, so are we done till this step? Okay then let's move forward.
Now look for the following code in your template

<b:widget id='Label1' locked='false' title='Labels' type='Label'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:title'>
<h2><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div class='widget-content'>

 <ul>
   <b:loop values='data:labels' var='label'>
     <li>
       <b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:label.url'>
         <data:label.name/>
       <b:else/>
         <a expr:href='data:label.url'><data:label.name/></a>
       </b:if>
       (<data:label.count/>)
     </li>
   </b:loop>
   </ul>


<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</div>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>

Now, replace the code above in blue with following code.

<br />
<select onchange='location=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;'>
<option>Select a label</option>
<b:loop values='data:labels' var='label'>
   <option expr:value='data:label.url'><data:label.name/>
      (<data:label.count/>)
   </option>
</b:loop>
</select>

Now save the template and you are done. Wow, you did it man.
This was todays blogger hack. If you will use this hack then i hope a free backlink from you.

Some free ways to end your drought of traffic!

Caution: The ideas presented here will not bring you a great wind of traffic like in Myanmar. So if you are searching for HUGE traffic, press the back button. But if your blog has drought of traffic and you want some traffic to save your face then read the rest of the post. And yeah, i am talking about unsuccessful blogger here like I was some months back.

1. Get some traffic by commenting on other blogs : Did I said some? Yeah, some traffic but enough to end the traffic drought in your blog. This is the easiest idea. Just go to some blogs like yours, read the post (you can skip this step. Just reading the title can give you the idea about rest of the post) and leave the comment with a link pointing to your blog. Just keep in mind that the blog is not that big blog as big bloggers don't have that time to knock on the every blog commenting them. This is not my new 'freshly brought from poultry' idea. Big bloggers like John Chow too admitted doing this during his struggling age. Also these days there are widgets like 'Top commentators and Recent comments' in the sidebar of many blogs which will give you more chances of getting traffic as it is easily seen in the sidebar by many people. So try this and you will not be disappointed.

2. Get some traffic from mybloglog: I hope every blogger knows about mybloglog. If you don't, Just shoot your head with a hammer (shame on you!). So for what purpose are you using Mybloglog? For checking your sites stats? Or to meet the bloggers of similar interests? Please don't tell me you are looking for date in mybloglog. Its like searching quality in Lindsay Lohan's movie. He he. Have you ever thought that mybloglog can generate you good amount of traffic for you? I can say yes as mybloglog was the major source of my traffic before some month when I was treated like ghost in search engines. Confused? Well, I will say how.

First thing you got to do is build your own mybloglog community. The benefit of building such community is with one click you can send message to all of the members of the community and get some traffic. Some pain in head? Okay, let me explain. If you have 50 members in your own community then you can send message about your new post with a link to that post to all of them. I think nearly half of your community members will turn to your blog after receiving your message if your post sounds cool. Now if you have more than 200 members in your community then how much traffic would you get? Calculate yourself.

Its so easy to create mybloglog community. Follow this link to build your own mybloglog community and also read My mybloglog community building strategy to know how to get members in your community.

I am quite sure these easy way will really end your 'God, get me some traffic please' campaign and help your blog grow. But if it doesn't, I swear i will really be teary eyed for you. Just leave some comments.

Swimming around a blogpond: A blog i liked

Sometimes you feel so low that you don't like to write a post about new blogger hack nor you like to keep sticking on mybloglog to see your traffic stats. It's a time to explore something and guys i am out with my untied seatbelt to travel the wild blogosphere.

Blogger hack: create drop Down menu

In this todays post, we are talking about creating drop down menu. For your idea, a drop down menu is the menu THAT DROPS DOWN! Oh, this was the worst definition you may have heard about drop down menu but what can i do? This is the best i can give.

It's not hard to create a drop down menu, its just a trick or lets say hack. What you gotta do is just copy the code given below and put it in your page elements.

<select onChange="document.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].
<option value="0" selected>Blog Archive</option>
<option value="Links 1">Text 1</option>
<option value="Links 2">Text 2</option>
</select>

The Green text you see their is of your links.So CHNAGE it with your links.
The Blue text you see their is your Anchor text. So change it with your anchor text too.
Time for an example:

This is the code i used to create the Drop down menu you can see in my sidebar.

<select onChange="document.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex]
<option value="0" selected>Blogger Hacks</option>
<option value="http://thirdworldchaos.blogspot.com/2008/05/blogger-hack-add-digg-button-to-your.html">Add
Digg button on your post</option>
<option value="http://thirdworldchaos.blogspot.com/2008/05/blogger-hack-dont-let-anybody-copy-your.html">Disable
Right click on your blog</option>
</select>

If you want to add more value then you can put a code like below.

<option value="Links 3">Text 3</option>
before this code </select>

If you want the links to be opened in new window then replace below code:

<select onChange="document.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].

With this code:

<select onchange="javascript:window.open(this.options[this.selectedIndex].

I think now you too are rushing to create a drop down menu like yours. So if you are doing it then can i get a link please.

Step 1
I am making you bored again. Please download your full template so that you can have it like now. For that go to 'Dashboard' and then to 'Layout' and then to 'edit HTML'.

Okay, i guess now you are on 'Edit HTML' section and have already backed your template up. Dont forget to click on 'Expand widget Templates' checkbox. Now search for this code
<p><data:post.body/></p>
If you want to put your botton on the top left like mine then replace the above code with this.
<div style='float:left; margin-right:10px;'>
<script type='text/javascript'>
digg_url="<data:post.url/>";
</script>
<script src='http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js' type='text/javascript'/>

<script type='text/javascript'>
digg_url="<data:post.url/>";
</script>
<script src='http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js' type='text/javascript'/>
