Resize All Images Automatically in Blogger


Blogger has basic options for resizing images, but this not practical and does not fit the blogs designs well.

Manually resizing pictures one-by-one is acceptable, but what if your site has a lot of photos and images. Will you edit them manually that would take months or even more?

Here's the solution:

1. go to Blogger.com
2. your site
3. Template
4. press the Edit HTML button.


In the new Blogger HTML Editor search for the ]]></b:skin> tag

and just before it paste the following CSS coding.

.post img {
float:center;
min-width:560px;
max-width:560px;
max-height:400px;
min-height:400px;
padding : 10px;
line-height : 2em;
margin: 0 auto 10px auto;
clear: both;
}


Now change the values of Width and height, according to your needs. You can even add a border to your images through (border: 1px solid #d2d2d2) a modest border CSS command.


After customizing, press the “Save Template” button.

Invite All Friends on Facebook Fan Page or Event


Code to Invite All Friends on Facebook Fan Page or Event



We all know inviting all friends is one of the best ways to increase fans of a Facebook fan page or members of an event. However, if your Facebook friends list have a large number of people, then it is difficult to invite everyone individually. Luckily there is one JavaScript code to invite all friends to an event or fan page. This JavaScript works on Firefox, Google Chrome and IE.. The trick was originally shared by a user in a popular SEO forum. I thought it would be a great idea to share it with all since it is working till now.

Here is the simple steps on how to invite everyone to an event or page on Facebook:
Follow the following Steps to invite all friends to Facebook Event or Page –


1. Click on invite friends button on Your Page or event. Select search all friends from the drop down menu. You can find the drop down menu on the top left side next to the search friends box.

2. Scroll down to the last friend.




3. Copy the below code depending on your choice.


Copy code below to invite all friends to a Facebook Event

javascript:elms=document.getElementsByName("checkableitems[]");for (i=0;i&lt;elms.length;i++){if (elms[i].type="checkbox" )elms[i].click()}

Copy code below to invite all friends on Facebook Fanpage -
 
javascript:var inputs = document.getElementsByClassName('uiButton _1sm'); 
 for(var i=0; i<inputs.length;i++) { 
inputs[i].click(); 
}

4. Now follow the steps below depending on the browser you are currently using –

For Firefox –

- Open the Firefox console by Pressing CTRL + Shift + K

- Paste the already copied Java Code into the box appearing below of the console and press Enter

- This will start inviting all of your friends. For a huge friend list it may take some time to invite all of your friends and your browser may not respond for sometimes. Do not panic and wait for the code to do the magic.



For Google Chrome –

- Press F12 on your keyboard. A white box will appear at the below of the page. Press the console tab in the box

- Paste your already copied code at the below of the console box and press Enter

- This will take some time to finish inviting all of your friends. If you have a huge number of friends, your browser may not respond for few minutes. Wait for the code to finish the job.



For Internet Explorer –

For internet explorer kindly follow the steps of Google chrome. All steps are identical.

Ping-O-Matic

What is this?

Ping-O-Matic is a service to update different search engines that your blog has updated.

It regularly checks downstream services to make sure that they're legit and still work. So while it may appear like we have fewer services, they're the most important ones.

Make sure to only ping specialized services if they're relevant to your blog, otherwise you'll cause an undue burden on them.

Check whether your blog is indexed

Checking whether your blog is indexed

 

Before submitting your blog, you might want to do a “site search” to check its status (whether your blog is indeed has not been indexed yet). Enter this search query in the search box:

site:domain
Replace domain with your domain name, for example for a blogspot blog entersite:yourblogname.blogspot.com.
If the search produces no results, then go ahead with the submission. (If your blog has already been indexed, this search will return a list of all your indexed blog pages).
Use the same query for all three search engines.

Submit URL to Google, Bing, Yahoo & Ask





The first step to getting your site online and to get better rankings in Google is to submit your URL to search engines. An example of an URL is www.yoursite.com. Eventually the search engines will find your site but this will help expedite the process.

Once you submit your URL, it could take several days, weeks, or months for the search engines to index your page(s). Results may vary so don’t write this in stone. Factors such as other websites pointing to your site can affect this time as well.


Submit URL to Google:

1. Go to the following link: http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl
2. Sign in to your Google account (i.e. Gmail)
3. Type in your URL, example: http://www.yoursite.com
4. Enter the captcha text shown in the box
5. Select “Add URL”

Submit URL to Bing

1. Go to the following link: http://www.bing.com/docs/submit.aspx
2. Type in your URL, example: http://www.yoursite.com
3. Enter the captcha text shown in the box
4. Select “Submit URL”

Submit URL to Yahoo:

**UPDATED NOVEMBER 2012**
1. Go to the following link: http://search.yahoo.com/info/submit.html
2. Click on “Submit Your Site for Free”
3. You will be redirected to Bing. Follow the on-screen instructions for submitting your URL.


**UPDATED AUGUST 2012**

Ask does not have an URL submit feature. Until recently, you could submit your sitemap to them. But Ask.com has now retired this feature and says they will be crawling sites instead. So, the next best thing is to add a directive in your robots.txt file that specifies auto-discovery of the XML sitemap.

Like this:

SITEMAP: http://www.the URL of your sitemap here.xml

The sitemap location should be the full sitemap URL.

That’s it! Once you complete the above steps, just sit back and be patient. It takes time for the search engines to index your pages. If you submit more than once, some search engines may consider this spamming which could result in not indexing your site at all.



Also note that you do not have to add all of your URL addresses for your entire site. For example, you do not need to add http://www.yoursite.com/about.hml and http://www.yoursite.com/contact.hml. Simply enter the home page URL and let the engines do the rest.
