Step 2: Adding a Gadget for 125 by 125 Ad Banner Widget

To add 152 by 125 ad banner widget, you have to add a gadget of your blog template. Just click Add a Gadget and you will find a gadget lists. From the gadget list, choose HTML/JavaScript gadget by simply clicking that gadget.

After adding that gadget, you have to add some of the html codes to that widget. Don't fear. I will tell you the step by steps solution to do this. Now, look the following code segment. Just look.

?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

<div align="center"> <table border="0">     <tbody>            <tr>                <td>                 <center>                             Your_Codes_Go_Here                 </center>             </td>                        </tr>      </tbody> </table> </div>

The above code segment is enough to design or implement 125 by 125 ad banner for your blog.
Look the above lines of code. There is a text Your_Codes_Go_Here at line 9.You just have to edit this line with the original affiliate marketing codes or banner codes. All of the affiliate banner codes are ready to your affiliate account. You don't have to edit any part of all those affiliate codes. For example, I want to add affiliate codes for cz.cc. The affiliate code may look like the following:

?

1	<a href=http://nic.cz.cc/index.php?ref=signupp><img src=http://nic.cz.cc/images/125x125_eng.gif></a>

If you sign up, you can see those type of affiliate code which are ready to your affiliate account. Just copy those code and replace with the line Your_Codes_Go_Here line. That's all.
So, the final code segment may look like the following code segment:

?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

<div align="center"> <table border="0">     <tbody>            <tr>                <td>                 <center>                             <a href=http://nic.cz.cc/index.php?ref=signupp><img src=http://nic.cz.cc/images/125x125_eng.gif></a>                 </center>             </td>                        </tr>      </tbody> </table> </div>

You may add as many 125 by 125 ad banner affiliate marketing codes for your blog. You just have to repeat the code of line 7 to line 11 codes. For example, let we want to add three affiliate codes in the widget. So, we have to copy from line 7 to line 11 codes two more times. And finally the codes look like the following:

?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28

<div align="center"> <table border="0">     <tbody>            <tr>                <td>                 <center>                             Your_Codes_Go_Here                 </center>             </td>                            <td>                 <center>                             Your_Codes_Go_Here                 </center>             </td>                            <td>                 <center>                             Your_Codes_Go_Here                 </center>             </td>                        </tr>      </tbody> </table> </div>

How to change URL of your blog

Steps to change a blog's URL (web address) in Blogger:

1. log into Dashboard
2. click on the relevant blog
3. click SETTINGS tab
4. click PUBLISHING
5. edit url (see screenshot above. Place where you type the new URL is indicated by cursor (arrow) and also "Type new URL here" in red
Remember to save settings.
Your success will depend on whether the URL has already been taken up or not.

NOTE: Remember, if you changed the URL of your blog, any existing incoming links will become dead link. If your blog is relatively new, that may not be a problem, but if your blog has been on the Web for a long time, your blog will already have been indexed by search engines, and you will have to wait to be indexed by the search engines all over again, and for some time, people searching for content in your blog will get links that lead nowhere. You will lose your PageRank and will have to wait a long time to get a meaningful PageRank for blog with the new URL. People may have linked to your blog or posts and all these will become dead links. Further, there have been lots of reports of bloggers who deleted their blog or changed its URL. Sploggers grab the now available URL and use them for dubious uses the worst of which is pornography. This will be extremely embarrassing for you if your family, relatives, friends, colleagues, etc., have your old URL.

So if yours is an old blog, think very carefully before you change the URL. If you insist on doing it, I would suggest immediately try to re-register your old URL and use it to redirect the old blog to the new blog URL. See Redirect New Blogger blog to another site

Your Blog Speak More Languages

   

I speak and write English (Americanised English, for you Brits). Until this weekend, my blogs were all published in English, and in English only. Thanks to the Kaspersky fiasco of Friday (Kaspersky is a Russian product), however, I was motivated to correct that shortcoming.

This was, surprisingly, an easier task than I had anticipated. If you will examine the sidebar, you will observe my multi-lingual translator, courtesy of Google Translator. It provides on the fly translation of the currently displayed web page, and whatever web pages that are subsequently loaded from following any links. It provides translation from English, to any of (as of 12/01/2009) 54 different languages. You can see the enumeration of the available languages below, in the code, or you can move the mouse over each flag, and check out the popup tags.

The translator applet code is surprisingly compact, and expandable with additional languages. It's well defined too - "<form ... > ... </form>" is the entire package. Stretch the browser window widely enough, so you can see all of the text, please. And be very careful of any gratuitous line breaks.

<form action="http://www.google.com/translate">

<a href="http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2008/02/make-your-blog-speak-more-languages.html"><span style="font-weight:bold;">What Are These?</span></a>

This entry requires just 3 unique elements.

• When you hover the mouse over the flag, you see

  العربية / Arabic

• The definition of English to Arabic translation is

  en|ar

• The picture of the Arabic flag, resized to 30px x 20px, in 1600 pixels resolution, is

  6075/564571464515337/1600/z/358406/gse_multipart12399.png

Each of the other language entries, similarly, require another corresponding 3 unique elements. The array of flags are universal language symbols, that are obvious to the inhabitants of the various countries, so they need no captions.

If you want your blog to reach the world, I can't think of an easier way to encourage that to happen.

• Add a new HTML / JavaScript gadget.
• Highlight, Copy, then Paste the code ("<form ... > ... </form>"), exactly as presented above, directly into the Content window in the new HTML / JavaScript gadget. Do not copy anything into Notepad, or any other word processor that might have trouble with the UTF-8 character set. The code above includes UTF-8 characters, in the Asian language labels - if you try to save anything as ANSI, you will get a warning, and possible code corruption.
• Make one simple change - correct the blog URL, to identify your blog (in this example, "myblog.blogspot.com").
  

  <noscript><input value="http://cumulus.nitecruzr.net/" name="u" type="hidden"/></noscript>

  change to

  <noscript><input value="http://myblog.blogspot.com/" name="u" type="hidden"/></noscript>

• Save.
• Test, and admire, your new world ability.

It took me several hours to write (and rewrite) this. It took me 10 minutes to set up the gadget on this blog, and 5 minutes to add this to PChuck's Network.

Having said all of that, I will note that je parle un peu de francais, and yo hablo un poco de espanol. And briefly examining (5 minutes of each) various translated pages in those two languages, I can note what I will discretely call "oddities". Both PChuck's Network and The Real Blogger Status are techie blogs, and I will bet quite heavily that not all technical terms that I use will be properly translated. But this is a start.

And next, I will note that the setup described above translates from English into other languages. If your blog is written in, let's say, French, you'll want Cumulus In Your Language. Additional languages are in progress.

For a more detailed discussion about this exciting blog accessory, see Roberto's Report: Language Translator Set-up.

For the official Google Translated Language Pairs list, see Google Translate FAQ: Language Pairs. Be advised that my applet above won't always be 100% up to date; but if you spot a new language in the Google list, that isn't in my applet, and let me know, I'll do my best to add it.
