How to Make The Navigation Menu Bar (Links) on Blogspot (I)

Not like WordPress which provides navigation facilities in the header of the blog, Blogspot does not have it. 
So if we want to have Navigation (Links) Page on the header Blogger/Blogspot then we must first create our own. This article will explain "How to Make The Navigation Bar (Links) Menu on Blogspot".

Navigation Bar is a link to the address we are going to (in the same pages, other pages within a site, or even in the pages of other sites). We provide this facility to our site / blog to accelerate or to shorten access to the link address (spesific phrase, articles, menu or anything that we think is important or interesting for our guests).

Because it is "a link", then we can create a simple Navigation Page with HTML. Script for links in HTML is:

<a href="Location_of_Document">Name of The Link</a>
 The following are some example for it :
<a href="doit2us.blogspot.com">Home</a> | <a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/07471629071890951823">About Me</a> | <a href="mailto:mc4tur@gmail.com">Contact</a>
and the result will look as follows:
The Next step is put these link into the header bloger, or right under the header bloger.

1. Log in to Blogger .
2. On your Dashboard, select the Layout menu, and click the Page Element.
3. Click (one of) "Add a Gadget".
Note :If you want to add facilities "Ad a Gadget" on the Header and Blog Posts ... Please read How to Add The "Add a Gadget" on Header and Blog Posts of Blogger Page Elements 
4. From the "Add a Gadget window pop up", choose/click the HTML/JavaScript.
5. On the page "Configure HTML / JavaScript", enter The Links in HTML Script, such as the example below.

Then click Save, "Configure HTML/JavaScript" page will disappear and you will be brought back to the "Page Elements" page, with The "New" HTML/JavaScript Widget


Note : The position of the HTML / JavaScript widget can vary depending on the "Add a Gadget" that you choose. In the example above I use a "Header Add a Gadget".

 6. The next step is to set the laying of the Page Navigation (Links). 
If you want to put it in the header, then arrange for the following position.

The result will look like the following.


If you want to put the Navigation Page (Links) Right below the header then set as the following position.


And the result will look like this


Thats for "How to  Make The Navigation Bar Menu (Links) on Blogspot", in the next post we'll try to make the link look more attractive...

>> Wednesday, December 16, 2009

If you get a complaint from your blog visitor or face the same Blogger Post Comment Problem at your Blog, then You can fix it like these steps below :

1. Log in to Blogger .
2. On your Dashboard, select the Layout menu, than click the Edit HTML. Under the Edit Template you can see your Blog's HTML. Check The Expand Widget Templates
3. Scroll down Edit Template, find
<td><iframe allowtransparency='true' class='reactions-iframe' expr:src='data:post.reactionsUrl' frameborder='0' name='reactions' scrolling='no'/></td>  and 
4. Replace 'no' with 'yes' or 'auto' to enable auto scrolling and the comment form will automatically expand with or without a scroll bar.


That's it.. I hope works for You...!!!

How to Change Blogger Favicon Ico

>> Thursday, December 3, 2009

Favicon (short for "favourite icon") is a little icon that appear next to the web address at the top of the page. That little icon is an .ICO icon format. This also appears when we save the link in our browser and gives us a graphical way of looking at it. Some of the browsers support *.GIF and *.PNG formats, but .ICO format is the most common.
By default, blogs on Bloggers favicon is a white letter B in the box with an orange background. in order to personalize the blog, we should change the default blogger favicon.

How to Change Blogger Favicon Ico? 

The first thing we should do of course is to make icons. We could make an icon with the extension .gif or .png format, but as explained above, better if we make it with ico format. We also can make it in a variety of pixel sizes, 16x16 px, 24x24 px, or 32x32 px. I think a 16x16 icon is preferable since it is readable in most older browsers.
There are several ways to create an icon.  

  • We can download the icon from the Internet, there are many sites that provide an icon that we can download and use for free, just enter in the search box "free favicon" and you'll find so many sites that provide it, even animated gif format... which will slightly increase your web loading, for sure.  
  • You can also easily create icon from image files you have. you only need to upload it to the icon generator, then download the result (a file icon) and put it in a web host / storage. These sites are example of "icon generator on line". Genfavicon, Favicon Generator
  • We also can make directly with graphics programs such as Photoshop, Fireworks, or GIMP or if you felt difficulties in using it, you can create icons using any software that you can work with it (MS Paint or Word for example), and than you can capture your works by MWSnap3, (you can free download it). This is the easiest way to make an icon (make letters or pictures with whatever program that you can work with, and then capture it with the software capture / snapshoot), but of course less than perfect (but it's just tiny picture itsn't ??).
  • But if you want to create your own icons and have little time to learn. There is an icon maker program which I think is very good.. name IcoFX
  • besides having a variety of editing and effects tools, this software also has the ability to import an image and have a screen capture tools to. The most special part of this "wonderful icon maker software", is given for FREE,  yup.. we can download it from IcoFX - The Free Icon Maker.

After creating an icon for your website or blog, then the next step is to put it in the web storage / host. You can learn about it in "Using Google Groups and Google Sites as a web storage space", and how to use it in "Create a Rainbow-Colored Link"

The next step is to put the "URL" address of the icon file in the HTML of our Blogger Templates, please follow the steps below:

1. Log in to Blogger .
2. On your Dashboard, select the Layout menu, than click the Edit HTML. Under the Edit Template you can see your Blog's HTML.
3. Scroll down Edit Template, find <title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title> and put this script below right after it. 
For the .ICO format...

<link href='URL of your icon file' rel='shortcut icon' type='image/vnd.microsoft.icon'/>
This will also work but the former is preferred:
<link href='URL of your icon file' rel='shortcut icon' type='image/x-icon'/>
For the .PNG format, the script is
<link href='URL of your icon file' rel='shortcut icon' type='image/png'/>
And For the .GIF format,
<link href='URL of your icon file' rel='shortcut icon' type='image/gif'/>
Please remember to replace URL of your icon file with your favicon url address. Save the template. and after you refresh your blog site, you should see your nice little Favicon next to the blog address.

How to Create Header easily and quickly with a free header maker software "Xheader"

If you want to make a full header with a background template and the title, or only want to insert/use images into the header as a background (assume that you already have a tittle), you can start with "Load from Template Library". But if you want to create a header with your own background image, then you should start with "Create with Blank Header".

Create a Rainbow-Colored Link

>> Saturday, November 21, 2009

This article as well as a simple example of the use of files stored in my Google site (you can see how to Using Google Groups and Google Sites as Web Storage Space ... in the previous article).


In this example, I already upload a "rainbow javascript" file in my Google site. "http://sites.google.com/site/blogforstorage/blog-for-us-f" (I know the URL site from my Browsers Addres Bar), because I had uploaded rainbow.js inside Blog for Us File page, So my rainbow.js file link is http://sites.google.com/site/blogforstorage/blog-for-us-f/rainbow.js  


Actually to Create a Rainbow-Colored Link (like in this blog), I just put a Javascript code right after tag
<head>

1. Log in to Blogger .
2. On your Dashboard, select the Layout menu, than click the Edit HTML. Under the Edit Template you can see your Blog's HTML.
3. Scroll down Edit Template and find  <head> put this script below right after it

<script src='http://sites.google.com/site/blogforstorage/blog-for-us-f/rainbow.js'></script>
And Save Template.
4. The URL, is the link address where I put the Javascript file that serves to rainbow-colored link. If You want to, You can download this Javascript file, upload it in Your web host and replace the link address above with Yours..

Using Google Groups and Google Sites as web storage space

One of very important factor in managing our blog is to have (at least) a web host that we will use to store the archive files (pictures, music, programs, data etc.) which will be uploaded to our blog. Using a paid web host to store the archive from a free blog like our blogger / blogspot it's sounds really absurd. Fortunately, there are so many sites offering free hosting for storing our files, but looking for the best among them is another matter..
Beside Picasa Web where we can store our photos, pictures, and images, There are 2 very useful free web hosts which we can consider (according to the webmaster) to use it. Google Groups and Google Pages Creator Unfortunately when I visited Google Pages Creator  Admin says that  

"Google Page Creator is no longer accepting new sign-ups.  If you would still like to create your own free website, please use Google Sites."
So, I ended up using Google Sites instead of Google Pages Creator, and I am quite satisfied with it.



Actually Google Groups is a service from Google that supports discussion groups, including many Usenet newsgroups, based on common interests. But we will use it as a web storage space, to store our files.

1. Creating a Google group is easy. Just visit Google Groups, than Click the “Create a group” button.
2. After Sign in with your Google Account (or Sign up New Account), enter your Google Group's Nickname, and click Continue
3. You will be brought to a screen which requires to enter your Group's name, and description.
4. After verification, because we only want to use Google Groups as a web storage, then we skip "invite members" by choose "skip this step"
5. Done... Now we have a new Google Group.

To upload files, click the “Files” link on the right panel.
And we can begin uploading files by clicking "+ Upload file"
Google Sites

1. Visit Google sites than Click the “Create site” button.
2. To use Google Site as a web storage, choose a Blank  template, then Name your site, type the code shown and click "Create site".
3. We've now created a new Google Site.  Next step is create a page and use it as a "File cabinet" ... Click + Create page link on the right panel.
4. Select File Cabinet, Name The Page, then click "Create page"
5. To upload files, Just click + Add file 
And We can choose add a file from computer or web.
6. That's all..

You can see how to use it on Create a Rainbow-Colored Link..

Solution for (Lenovo) Shutdown Problem

>> Tuesday, November 17, 2009

A few weeks ago I had a problem with my laptop. After the downgrade OS from Vista to Xp and install some programs, my laptop (Lenovo) have this problem. Every time i turn off the laptop, it hangs on message - 'Windows is shutting down'. Sometimes, it shuts down without any hang but at the end of shut down, a hard 'tic' sound comes up and then it shuts down, but more often hang and must be turned off with pressing the power button.
I have found this answer but it didn't solve the problem..

"Shutdown problems in Windows XP can be caused by many factors, These included: a damaged exit sound file; incorrectly configured, damaged, or incompatible hardware; conflicting programs, or an incompatible, damaged, or conflicting device driver...."
I need real action...  and finally I discovered the following ways.
Unchecked the option in USB RootHub under the power management tab. ( You can locate the USB RootHub in device manager )
1. Click Start, Control panel and System.


2. Under the System Properties window, Select Hardware then click Device Manager


3. Click USB Root Hub, select Power Management and Uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off the device to save power."

4. I do it in all my USB Root Hub (7).

How to Cange Blogger Header Color

>> Thursday, November 12, 2009

Before we start to change blogger header color, first we must determine what color we would like to have, and then "translate" it into HTML code. ie: #000000 for BLACK and #FF0000 for RED.
I have found a Great Tool for this, Small, Smart, and Usefull Software by Iconico.



I highly recommend you to download it, and spend a little bit of your time to learn it, because we will often to use it later, sure if you haven't one yet. I am still amazed that this wonderfull software provided by Iconico is free. Yup... you can download it Legally Free at :

Method 1
Actually, bloggers have been providing facilities to change the color of the page template, which is in the Fonts and Colors facility, under the Layout menu in our dashboard. This facility is not only set color and font in the header, but also the entire page.



After you decided what the color and know what the HTML code is (for example #FF0000), then go to your Dashboard, click Layout, then Fonts and Colors.
Scroll the window and find "Page Header Background Color", click on it, and choose your color from the righ side, if the color of your choice is not there, then you can insert the HTML code into "edit color hex code"and click enter ..


Unfortunately, this setting is not the same rules for all templates, for example If you are using minima template, than you will not find Page Header Background Color setting. and it also occurs in other template items.
If you don't find Page Header Background Color setting in Fonts and Colors, than you can do it with method 2 below.

Method 2
Go to your Dashboard, click Layout, Edit HTML. In Edit Template, Scroll the window and find this:
#header-wrapper {
  width:660px;
  margin:0 auto 10px;
  border:1px solid $bordercolor;
  }
put this script;  right after it... (In a different templates, instead of #header-wrapper, you may see #header-wrap or #header or #head.) 

background:#FF0000; .
Here is the final
#header-wrapper {
  width:660px;
  margin:0 auto 10px;
  border:1px solid $bordercolor;
  background:#FF0000;
  }
Save Template and view your blog..
This is before
After

You can set the Title and Description color to match your Header Color fits. Just go back to the “Fonts and Colors” tab, and change them

Understanding the Name. Location and Setting of Page Elements in Our Bloggers Template HTML

After learning how to optimize Page Element by adding the Add a Gadget facility, than I have another questions arise:
- How to edit the header?, Post images? or create a link in it?
- How to edit the sidebar?, move it?, put the background or just color it? or could we make it two sidebar?
- Also wanted to know how to paint and install the background, Is it possible that we insert "something" in the middle of Blog Posts?
- How did the Footer, can I edit it to?

One of the advantages of a CMS base sites is the Flexibility, In these CMS sites, we could cange the Elements, add or less the Gadgets and also set the appereance (display) of the Page..


When we first create a Blog in Blogger, the Default Templates consisting of 4 page elements: Header, Blog Posts, Sidebar (which consists of About Me, Blog Archive and the Follower), and a Blank Page Elements at the bottom of blog pages (usually filled with Footer). From the above picture seen that the Header and Blog Posts does not have the facility to add gadgets. To optimize the blog and to be able to add various functions (gadgets) in it, then the Header and Blog Posts must be change.

Let's do it by following this steps:

<b:includable id='main'>
This will give you 1 more Page Element in your Header. You can add it more by change the number of maxwidgets="..."
