Display Your Feed On A HTML Page

About every blogger now is using feedburner to publish their feed. By using feedburner, you can get realtime stats and subscriber count. You can even use a custom domain with feedburner. You can display your feedburner feed on Blogger with a simple feed widget but you can't use that widget on your html site. Don't worry, you can still display your feed on a static html or your website by using BuzzBoost. Here we go:

Go To FeedBurner > Click on your feed:

Click on the "Publicize" tab, and then click on "BuzzBoost" in the list at the left side of the screen (see image below). At this point BuzzBoost will give you a number of different options. Choose your preference and click on "Active" button. If you’ve already activated BuzzBoost you’ll see the option to save instead of activate.

Once you choose your settings and activate BuzzBoost you will be provided with the piece of code. Copy the code provided by FeedBurner and paste it into your page wherever you want it to be displayed. You're completely free to use my feeds on your blog:

<script src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/WidgetCraft?format=sigpro" type="text/javascript" ></script><noscript><p>Subscribe to RSS headline updates from: <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/WidgetCraft"></a><br/>Powered by FeedBurner</p> </noscript>

It's done, you can also style this code by using some css:

.feedTitle {
background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% whitesmoke;
padding: 10px;
text-align: center;
font-size: 20px;
font-weight: bold;
border: 1px solid rgb(81, 104, 59);
}
.feedburnerFeedBlock ul {
margin-left:0;
padding-left:0;
list-style-type: none;
}

.feedburnerFeedBlock ul li {
padding: 5px;
border-bottom-width: 1px;
border-bottom-style: solid;
border-bottom-color: #E0E0E0;
}

.feedburnerFeedBlock ul li span.headline a {
color: #990000;
text-decoration: none;
display: block;
}

.feedburnerFeedBlock ul li span.headline a:hover {
color: #535353;
}

#creditfooter {
display: none;
}

Monetize Your Blog With InfoLinks

Lots of peoples are blogging just for money, and they are not getting much success in it because Google Adsense is still not accepting their application or they banned them. If you want to earn some money with your blog with some high-quality ads (Way much better than ClickSor) then you should join InfoLinks.

InfoLinks is world's leader in Text-Links advertising. It's very easy to use, and you earn some good amount with it. It gives you four different types of advertising options (including inText, inTag, inSearch and inFrame), and you choose any of it (maybe all four).

For those of you who are wondering about payment options, you can get your payment via eCheck, Paypal, Wire Transfer and Payoneer pre-paid debit card.

Even if you're using Adsense on your blog, then InfoLinks is also a good way to get more from your blog. In my opinion Adsense + InfoLinks is best way to earn for small and medium publishers. Don't worry....It's 100% safe to use InfoLinks with your Adsense account.

Optimize Blog Title For Search Results

Your traffic from search depends on your content and post titles. I guess now it's time to give a bit attention to your blog/post title for a better SEO. Sorry for bad editing, i recently formatted my pc, and right now i don't have Photoshop. Let's focus on topic....

It would be better if Title Starts with your Post Title and ends with your Blog Title.I do believe that it will definitely improve your Click Through Rate.

• Find following code in your template:

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

• and replace it with:

<!-- Start www.BWidgets.com: Changing the Blogger Title Tag -->
<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
<b:else/>
<title><data:blog.pageName/><b:if cond='data:blog.pageName'> ~ </b:if><data:blog.title/></title>
</b:if>
<!-- End www.BWidgets.com: Changing the Blogger Title Tag –>

• Save Your Template......That' IT!!

After saving the template take a look at your blog post pages and your will notice the change in titles in your browser's title bar.

Soon Google bot will re-index your pages with new improved page titles.

Manually Adding Disqus Comment Box On Blogger

Previously we discussed about adding Disqus comment system to Blogger. Now i'll tell you how to add Disqus comment system manually on your blog.

If the Disqus gadget installer isn't working, you have the option of manually installing the gadget on your Blogger site. This will require editing your Blogger template HTML, so it won't work with Dynamic Views templates.

• Go To Blogger > Layout > Add A Gadget > HTML/JavaScript

• Enter Disqus as the title and the following code for the content:

<!-- Disqus comments gadget -->

• Click save and the window will close....

Now all done in Layout section of your blog, now it's time to move to the Template section.

• Go to your blog's Template section and then click the "Edit HTML" button > Proceed

• Click 'Expand Widget Templates' box

• Search for the widget you just created in your HTML template by pressing Ctrl-F (Command-F on OSX) then typing Disqus. You should find the following line: 

<b:widget id='HTML1' locked='false' title='Disqus' type='HTML'>

• Below that locate and DELETE the following code right before the closing tag. The section you're deleting should look like this:

<b:includable id='main'>
  <!-- only display title if it's non-empty -->
  <b:if cond='data:title != &quot;&quot;'>
    <h2 class='title'><data:title/></h2>
  </b:if>
  <div class='widget-content'>
    <data:content/>
  </div>
  <b:include name='quickedit'/>
</b:includable>

• Now before the closing </b:widget> tag, add the following Disqus code

<b:includable id='main'>
            <script type='text/javascript'>
                var disqus_shortname = &#39;EXAMPLE&#39;;
                var disqus_blogger_current_url = &quot;<data:blog.canonicalUrl/>&quot;;

                if (!disqus_blogger_current_url.length) {
                    disqus_blogger_current_url = &quot;<data:blog.url/>&quot;;
                }

                var disqus_blogger_homepage_url = &quot;<data:blog.homepageUrl/>&quot;;
                var disqus_blogger_canonical_homepage_url = &quot;<data:blog.canonicalHomepageUrl/>&quot;;
            </script>

            <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
                <style type='text/css'>
                    #comments {display:none;}
                </style>

                <script type='text/javascript'>
                    (function() {
                        var bloggerjs = document.createElement(&#39;script&#39;);
                        bloggerjs.type = &#39;text/javascript&#39;;
                        bloggerjs.async = true;
                        bloggerjs.src = &#39;http://&#39;+disqus_shortname+&#39;.disqus.com/blogger_item.js&#39;;
                        (document.getElementsByTagName(&#39;head&#39;)[0] || document.getElementsByTagName(&#39;body&#39;)[0]).appendChild(bloggerjs);
                    })();

                </script>
            </b:if>
                <style type='text/css'>
                    .post-comment-link { visibility: hidden; }
                </style>

                <script type='text/javascript'>
                (function() {
                    var bloggerjs = document.createElement(&#39;script&#39;);
                    bloggerjs.type = &#39;text/javascript&#39;;
                    bloggerjs.async = true;
                    bloggerjs.src = &#39;http://&#39;+disqus_shortname+&#39;.disqus.com/blogger_index.js&#39;;
                    (document.getElementsByTagName(&#39;head&#39;)[0] || document.getElementsByTagName(&#39;body&#39;)[0]).appendChild(bloggerjs);
                })();

            </script>
</b:includable>

• Now change EXAMPLE to your site's shortname.

• Click Save template. Assuming there are no errors, Disqus should properly show up on your site now.
