Bloggin-Tips & Tricks

As I am sure you can see I have been re-arranging and finalizing my Blog. And I am definitely enjoying every second of it. I wanted to share some Tips and Tricks I have found while doing my Blog.

Blogging Tips and Tricks:

How the heck do you make a Grab my Button?
(every blog should have one to share link love)

Host your button image on a free site such as Photobucket

Or ImageShack

This is the html code you need :


*UPDATE



How to add my own Signature to my Blog posts?

I am in love with this Free Signature creator and it couldn't be easier to use. MyLiveSignature


Important: There are 2 ways to add it to the end of your blog posts.
1st way is to add your signature to a post:








Click "Edit HTML" in the editor window
Insert the HTML code of the signature
Click "Edit HTML" and continue editing

Or Save yourself the time and have it automatically added to your posts





Once in Blogger go to settings Tab then
Formatting tab




At the Very bottom of that page In {Post Template} table






add the code :







*remember to replace this code with your image Url






___________________________________________________________
Here is the Most Important Tip especially for craft blogger who put so much enjoy and effort into their work, that it should be protected.









Get a Creative Commons Licence on your Blog. Click Participate and then Licensing page.


Copy your code and add it to your Blog.

There is a difference between liking an others blog and copy catting another blogger.

Protect your pictures and Blog with this licence.
I hope these tips help and watch for more tips coming soon. Any questions please ask.

If you have a Tip you would like to share Submit it and I will link it to your Blog post.

I did it! I was using the wrong code, I kept trying to type it myself instead of copying the HTML code (which was easier) and stuck with photobucket. Thanks again!

Candle Junkie said...

Yay you!!!
As soon as you have it on your blog, I will be over to grab your Button for my Blog. I am super excited to see it.

Ok, maybe not...I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, but now the button is taking me to my photobucket acct instead of the web store? I feel like a dope!

It's okay it took me forever too(giggle). I have added further instructions on the Post hope they help. I think you are just using the link to the pic.

If you want Heather you can email me the pic and I will code it for you then you just have to copy and paste it.
