On November 2nd 2011, I gave you bloggers some tips to solve OpenID’s ‘Your OpenID credentials could not be verified’ error. Those tips have been very helpful to some of you bloggers for a few months now but a sudden, quite change (OpenID support, perhaps) made by the people behind Google+ a few weeks...
When bloggers that are using Blogger have more than one JavaScript library (jQuery, MooTools etc) on their blogs, sometimes they get weird conflicts and sometimes they don’t if they are very lucky! Yesterday however was not the lucky day for one of my visitors. She had stumbled upon my pure CSS-based...
Google Chrome is a wonderful internet browser and to experienced bloggers, Chrome is more than just a browser. It has powerful built-in features that can actually help bloggers not only tweak their Blogger templates but also totally design a new one from scratch! Yes, seriously! Google Chrome can be an...
Have Chrome ever reported the existence of malicious software (malware) on your Blogger-powered blog before? The reason why I posed the above question today is because I’m seeing more and more Blogger-powered blogs that have such warnings reported by Chrome and Chrome happens to be my preferred internet...
Alltop.com is a highly respected news aggregator in the World Wide Web. The site is also considered as the site with significant authority to the eyes of search engines such as Google, Bing and Yahoo. Google for an example gives Alltop a cool PageRank 7 and that speaks a lot about Alltop’s authority!
In the last few hours, I’ve been playing around with this fine JavaScript library (jQuery) that I discovered yesterday at github. It is supposed to help webmasters mimic the falling snow and I think we all know that we have plenty of such scripts on the internet. However, the one I’m playing with right...
After spending a few hours exploring the possibilities of placing Facebook Like and Twitter tweet buttons for each and every comment posted on Blogger-powered blogs, I have discovered that for the time being only Twitter Tweet button can give us such possibility. Some of you might be laughing right now,...
I was looking for a simple way or two that would enable me to turn dull-looking text-based emoticons into cool, ‘animated’ (kind of!) emoticons on my other blogs when I stumbled upon these marvelous jQuery-based scripts at github. The scripts were originally created with WordPress in mind but after I...
Let me start by asking you the following question; how do you define the perfect traffic-getting, attention-grabbing tweets for blog posts on Twitter? It’s a tricky question alright but I do believe that tweets that only mention blog post titles are no longer getting as much attention as they were one...
I have grown tired of trying to find ways to solve horizontal alignment problems that normally come with the use of share buttons such as Facebook and Twitter. Finally made the decision to remove everything from my blogs and adopt something that was originally inspired by Mashable. Yes, Mashable still has...
Twitter has provided webmasters and bloggers 3 different ways of adding their Tweet button to websites and blogs. The most popular and undoubtedly the easiest way for everyone is by using JavaScript but what many didn’t know is that it has the tendency to create a lot of problems to those using it. I have...
I was getting bored in the last few hours. My boredom led me to a Facebook Like button on one of my blog posts. I fooled around with it for a while when I discovered something quite horrendous. It seems that Facebook has changed something (I don’t know what!) and my blog post no longer look decent on...
In the last few weeks, I have proven two things here on this blog: I have proven that it is entirely possible to markup Blogger blogs with Schema.org microdata markups and I have also proven that precise implementations of Schema.org microdata markups can also help Blogger blogs look so much better in...
In the last few weeks, I have been documenting personal successes and failures in annotating my blog with Schema.org microdata markups. I believe I have achieved plenty but I’m not yet ready to share everything here on this blog due to certain unmentionable reasons. Some visitors to this blog had taken...
I just learned that one of the pains bloggers that are using Blogger have to face in Google+ is the appearance of irrelevant thumbnails after readers had share their blog posts in Google+. Thumbnail images that have nothing to do with the shared blog posts were ‘chosen’ by +Snippet and some bloggers...
In my last post, I have shown you some examples of Schema.org microdata markups that bloggers can apply on their Blogger-powered blogs to give Google +Snippet the right kind of information about our blogs and blog posts before they are shared with other people in Google+. I don’t know about you but I’m...
Google introduced the +1 button to the whole world on March 28th 2011 and today we can see it almost everywhere in the internet. Even bloggers that are using Blogger have +1 buttons on their blogs but unfortunately many didn’t know how to make +1-friendly annotations or markups on their blogs. Correct +1...
One of the biggest frustrations that we bloggers that are using Blogger have to endure is undoubtedly Blogger’s failure to let us conveniently leave comments on other Blogger blogs with OpenID. We are forced to use some other identities such as Blogger/Google Profile or Name/URL and we are not happy with...
Of all Blogger hacks out there, this is surely one of the strangest of all. You will see why in a few minutes. The purpose of this particular Blogger hack is pretty darn simple. It is to help bloggers using Blogger to completely get rid of the ugly looking Blogger Navbar that normally can be seen at the top...
Here’s something new that bloggers using Blogger should take note. Previously, the Google+ share button would only display its well recognized icon on Blogger blogs but as of today, Blogger has added ‘Recommend this on Google’ to the right-hand side of the icon. Thus making the Google+ share button...
