Hi friends,you would have seen for sure in blogger from a long time that,comments the readers do in some blog are numbered starting from count 1 to number of comments on that post page.As i think many bloggers dont like this hack because they don't find any use to it in there blogger but according to me its a great hack to make your blog look different from others and i have made this too simple and beautiful to implement it very easily.

And the second advantage is it makes very easy for readers to find any comment and differentiate between the comments and without numbering,it becomes difficult to find comment if there are lot comments on post,even sometimes i find this problem in wordpress blogs as even they dont use this hack but you should use it for sure.

Before proceding to the tutorial you should have embed comment form in blogger and and back up your template for sure.

Now this is how in picture below the numbering will look like while using my codes.As you can also see this live in my present template i am using in my blog.

And thanx to fernando from quiterandom to make it possible for us to make this numbering possible.

Now login to blogger GO To Layout > Edit/Html > Check Mark Expand Widgets > Press Ctrl+F and search for below codes in your template and add the red lines in between them like i have shown below.

<dl id='comments-block'>

<script type='text/javascript'>var CommentsCounter=0;</script>

<b:loop values='data:post.comments' var='comment'>

<div class='' expr:id='data:comment.id'>

<dt expr:class='"comment-author " + data:comment.authorClass' expr:id='data:comment.anchorName'>
<a expr:name='data:comment.anchorName'/>
<b:if cond='data:comment.authorUrl'>
<a expr:href='data:comment.authorUrl'><data:comment.author/></a>
<b:else/>
<data:comment.author/>
</b:if>
<data:commentPostedByMsg/>

<span class='comment-number'>
<a expr:href='"#comment-" + data:comment.id' title='Comment Link'>
<script type='text/javascript'>
CommentsCounter=CommentsCounter+1;
document.write(CommentsCounter)
</script>
</a>
</span>

</dt>
<dd class='comment-body'>
<b:if cond='data:comment.isDeleted'>
<span class='deleted-comment'><data:comment.body/></span>
<b:else/>
<p><data:comment.body/></p>
</b:if>
</dd>
<dd class='comment-footer'>
<span class='comment-timestamp'>
<a expr:href='data:comment.url' title='comment permalink'>
<data:comment.timestamp/>
</a>
<b:include data='comment' name='commentDeleteIcon'/>
</span>
</dd>

</div>

</b:loop>
</dl>

And now i need some css part to make look the counter of comments to look beautiful so you just add these below css codes before the ]]></b:skin> tag.

.comment-number {
float: right;
background: url(http://i40.tinypic.com/14tmp9e.jpg) no-repeat;
width:50px;
height:50px;
margin-right: 15px;
margin-top: -35px; /*comments-counter position*/
text-align: center;
font-family: 'Century Gothic','Lucida Grande',Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif;
font-size: 18px;
font-weight: bold;
}

/*since the numbers are actually links, we need to force the color properties*/

.comment-number a:link, .comment-number a:visited {
color: #445566 !important;
text-decoration: none !important;
}
.comment-number a:hover, .comment-number a:active {
color: #FF9933 !important;
text-decoration: none !important;
}

Now in above codes red link is the background to counter image you can change it with yours.And if you change image correct its width and height option in above css with the size of your image.

One problem you can face after making the css work can be the position of counter in comments.So just edit below lines in above css to make it align to proper postion in your blog if not working at perfect position for you.

margin-right: 15px;
margin-top: -35px;

Now i hope you will love his hack for sure and will use it for sure.One more thing,i insist you to use this hack for sure if you are not using it and don't forget to implement highlight blog author comment for sure as this is what makes you different from your blog readers as i can't live without these hacks.

Hi friends today i am back with you with some internet tips not with the usual tips of my blogging.As you would have seen while accessing some sites you are blocked from opening them,if you surfing them from your school ,college or from an office if you are employed.While when i was in college we were blocked from using social media sites like orkut and in offices you will be blocked from using many sites like these to get surf.So we got to use proxies at that time to access them but it may not work always,so i am sharing many ways to get access these websites and implement it according to your need to make it work.You may also find an important tip on how to make slower internet connection browse faster.

1) Using IP Instead of URL

This depends on the software/application used. Sometimes blocked sites are stored as a list of URLs (eg. www.yahoo.com, www.donwload.com,etc) and typing the IP instead of the URL might sometimes work. In a local computer, doing a ping domain.com command in Command Prompt (Mac users use Terminal) will return you the IP address. You can also do it online via www.whatsmyip.org.

2) Redirection with Short URL service

Sometimes the URL you intend to browse might be ban, but converting them to another a shorter URL with short URL services might just help you to bypass the settings.

Here’s 2 Short URL service you can use – MooURL, SnipURL

3) Google Cache

Search engines like Google and Yahoo cache webpages and these cached pages are stored in search engines themselves, which likely will be added to the blocked list. Click on the ‘cache’ will bring you to a cache version of the page, as updated as how Google caches it.

4) Internet Archive – Wayback Machine

Wayback Machine is a internet service that periodically keeps a copy of almost all websites in the Internet way from the date they’re started. Clicking on the latest copy of what Wayback Machine have should be somewhat similar to the real site. Another way to access blocked sites via caches.

5) Anonymous Surfing

Some site allows you to take advantage of their proxy or domain to surf other sites as anonymous. Just search proxy websites on google and you get a list of them.

6) Use Proxy in Browsers

There are tons of sites out there that distributes free proxies of almost any country. Here’s an example. Check out the following methods on how/where to insert proxies in your web browsers.

Proxy Surfing – Firefox

Under Advanced tab, select Network tab, then click inside Connection Settings. Select Manual proxy configuration, put proxy under HTTP proxy.

Proxy Surfing – Internet Explorer

Go to Tools -> Internet Options. Select Connections tab. Click into LAN Settings, check Proxy Server. Insert your proxy URL inside Address.

7) Bypass with Translations services

Online translation services like AltaVista BabelFish, Google Translate allows you to translate a website from one language to another and display the translated results on their own page.The trick here is to enter the URL (website you’re blocked), retranslate it even if you don’t need to and let Google or AltaVista fetch you the content.

8) Subscribe to RSS Feed

This might not work for all sites, but if the site you intended to visit provides RSS feeds, you can subscribe and read it with a RSS reader, or have it regularly send the contents to your email.

9) Retrieve web pages via Email

Web2Mail is a free service that sends websites you want to read right into your inbox. All you need to do is send an email to www@web2mail.com with the URL as subject title.

Now lets carry on with an important tutorial of how to add the image slider to your blog.

Just see it at top below the blog header.

Download this Zip file and get two javascript files from it for backup.

Now after getting these two scripts you can upload them to your own server,if you want else dont know where to upload check my this post on where to upload .js files.

Now Just login to your blogger account Then Go To > Layout > Edit/Html > Press Ctrl+ F

Now search for </head> and place the below javascript codes before this tag.

<script src='http://btemplatescripts.googlecode.com/files/slider.js' type='text/javascript'/>
<script src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.2.6/jquery.js' type='text/javascript'/>

In the above codes you will see red coloured lines just replace them with the link of your file which you downloaded and uploaded to your server, if dont want then also you can use my above links.

Now Search for this code ]]></b:skin> and add the below css above it.

#myslides{

background:#000 url(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xfdD6S9fOk4/Sd1SjSaUrXI/AAAAAAAAA20/ndvDf0nTslY/s1600/mslid.jpg) repeat-x;
width: 650px;
height:165px;
margin-bottom:5px;
}

.stepcarousel{
position: relative; /*leave this value alone*/
overflow: scroll; /*leave this value alone*/
width: 554px; /*Width of Carousel Viewer itself*/
height: 160px; /*Height should enough to fit largest content's height*/
margin: 0px 48px 5px 48px;

}

.stepcarousel .belt{
position: absolute; /*leave this value alone*/
left: 0;
top: 0;
}

.stepcarousel .panel{
float: left; /*leave this value alone*/
overflow: hidden; /*clip content that go outside dimensions of holding panel DIV*/
margin: 20px 10px ; /*margin around each panel*/
width:170px; /*Width of each panel holding each content. If removed, widths should be individually defined on each content DIV then. */
background:#0e1829;
height:120px;
border:1px solid #1d2c44;

}
.stepcarousel .panel p{
text-align: left; /*leave this value alone*/
overflow: hidden; /*clip content that go outside dimensions of holding panel DIV*/
margin: 5px 5px ; /*margin around each panel*/

}

.stepcarousel .panel h2{
text-align: left; /*leave this value alone*/
height:20px;
overflow: hidden; /*clip content that go outside dimensions of holding panel DIV*/
margin: 2px 5px ; /*margin around each panel*/
font-size:16px;
font-weight:bold;
text-align:center;
font-family:Georgia,century gothic,Arial,verdana, sans-serif;
}

.stepcarousel .panel img{
float: left; /*leave this value alone*/
background:#0E1829; /*clip content that go outside dimensions of holding panel DIV*/
margin: 5px 5px 5px 5px; /*margin around each panel*/
padding:0px 0px;
}

Above in code is red line with url of background image of slider,you can also change it to adjust your blog.

Special Step

Just Find for /head tag and place the below script above it.

<style type='text/css'>
#mygallery{overflow: hidden;}
</style>

<script type='text/javascript'>
stepcarousel.setup({
galleryid: &#39;mygallery&#39;, //id of carousel DIV
beltclass: &#39;belt&#39;, //class of inner &quot;belt&quot; DIV containing all the panel DIVs
panelclass: &#39;panel&#39;, //class of panel DIVs each holding content
panelbehavior: {speed:500, wraparound:true, persist:true},
defaultbuttons: {enable: true, moveby: 3, leftnav: [&#39;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_v5IxGTiMTD8/SxOlAIA_ZZI/AAAAAAAAAfg/ELVwF1qY8M8/s400/left.jpg&#39;, -48, 0], rightnav: [&#39;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_v5IxGTiMTD8/SxOlAVn-OvI/AAAAAAAAAfo/kMJcmlXZKCs/s400/right.jpg&#39;, 0, 0]},
statusvars: [&#39;statusA&#39;, &#39;statusB&#39;, &#39;statusC&#39;], //register 3 variables that contain current panel (start), current panel (last), and total panels
contenttype: [&#39;external&#39;] //content setting [&#39;inline&#39;] or [&#39;external&#39;, &#39;path_to_external_file&#39;]
})


</script>

The green lines are the images of side arrows to make it scroll left and right you can make and add your also to make it look different.And in pink are number to control speed of slider and no of images to be shown at once in slider,so make it adjust acc. to you.If you increase images to be shown from 3 to any number then you have to increase the size of it also in slider css which is written below.

Now Save Your Template.All the coding part is finished,now just how to add images to slider.

Just go to Layout > Page Elements > Add A Gadget > Html/Javascript

And add the below links of images and posts in it,in the format i am writing below.

New 10 Rs Coin In India Now has come,RBI is ready to issue a new bimetallic 10 Rupee coin for circulation.Anyways with the launch of Rs 10 coin, protests have already begun! Some NGOs are complaining that its structure is very similar to Rs 2 coin, so the blind people would have a real problem and are at a risk of loosing 8Rs everytime! I wonder if our government thinks about people before taking such steps?

The look: The obverse side has the lion capitol with numeral 10 and year of manufacture. On reverse side, a double line cross with a dot in each pellet of cross and denomination written in Hindi and English around. This design has been prepaed by National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad with the theme of Unity in Diversity. The outer side metal is Nickel-Bronze and the inner side metal is Ferrous Steel. The weight of the coin would be 8 grams and the diameter would be 28 mm.

Some Pictures Of 10 Rs coin...I received to my email...from friends...

The new coins would be made of ferratic stainless steel and nickel-bronze as a security measure against counterfeit coins.

At this point suppose you are right,as me too when started my blog thought same as you will be thinking.

Assuming your thinking right,you are getting good seo from google search engines.Now what about other search engines,they dont give importance to blogspot domain names,as there are thousand of engines more to give you traffic,if you still leave them,you can't forget two basic search engines like of yahoo search and msn search.Using blogspot name you are loosing half of your traffic,as these engines can give you same traffic as given by google.Means leaving blogspot name can double your traffic from search engines for sure.

If we assume your thought correct then only you are lossing half of your visitors and how much visitors you will loose now when i will prove your thought wrong.

Yes the true is blogspot blogs are not seo in google search engines also,what we assumed above was wrong.As i will tell you some things to prove it.

First Thing:-Domain name is always preffered over blogspot domain name not only on other search engines but on google too.For some keyword you search,you will not to positioned to first position in results as always blogs with domain name will be a top,if they also have an post with that keyword.As if i would have used domain name,my traffic would have increased by 40 percent sure.
As you can see google adsense program now rejects all blogs on blogspot for there program,as they themselves avoids blogspot domain name and approves too quickly the self hosted blog with domain name.

Second thing:-Google search engines doesn't index blogspot label pages.But in self hosted blog your category pages get indexed also.

Now andy has explained here why google doesn't index them and some easy solution,you can read it.

This problem has to be solved by google blogger service,you dont have much to do in it.

Thirdly:- When you use older and newer post link to see different pages the link get like this below:-

http://anshuldudeja.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2009-05-04T11%3A53%3A00-07%3A00&max-results=7

Even these links are not indexed by search engines.So again a great loss.

Now One more important Point:-Think you have been using blogspot for an year and you want to switch to wordpress,you are in threat to loose all your traffic and seo for your all post pages.As you can set redirects while switching to wordpress easily but it will not work as well as you think, Google will insert their virus/malware notice and all redirects will not work as easily as you think.

In that case i greatly liked the trick labnol used to switch to wordpress without loosing an page rank and search engine juice,you can read about it from here on how he switched from blogspot to wordpress.

Using custom domain name from beggining or from many months and then switching will not might be much problem for you.

So you must have to have custom domain name if still you are using blogger.

I have written this post reviewing andys post,you can read it from here also to make more clear about it and ask from him more about it.
