Test embed Youtube playlist in a Blogger post

Because Youtube has chosen using an iFrame I am confident this test will succeed. That is, whatever in the embedded playlist will work like a playlist just as if you play the Youtube playlist in Youtube's website itself.
Test the embedded playlist below. Listen beyond the first video and confirm that the second and the rest of the videos will continue playing. Here goes:



The codes useed is:

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/bv_cEeDlop0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Nope, it didn't work. Looks like I had been overconfident. If you need to embed a playlist, go visit How To Create YouTube Playlists And Get Embed Code. Apparently it also involves some passwords. However, I did not test it as Youtube keeps changing and what works today may not work tomorrow.

13 Steps to Successful Blogging

Interact with your readers

By: Ant Onaf

Blogs can be a very marketable and very profitable tool if used correctly. Profiting from blogs is just a matter of grabbing the attention of an audience and not doing any actual salesmen selling. In this article you will learn the 13 most essential steps to successful blogging.



1) Where to start?

You should begin your blog with a free blog hosting service such as Journal Home. I don't say that because I'm the owner, but a free blog host is very rewarding for a new blog. Starting with a free blog hosting service allows you to begin blogging instantly without having any advance knowledge of scripts, hosting, or programming. It allows you to build an audience and buzz for your blog. It allows you to focus on your content and not the internal maintenance of the blog. The best benefit of starting with a free service, is in the case your blog doesn't become successful you do not lose any money or are you left holding the bill. The great thing about a blog is that they are organized in chronological order, your latest entry is displayed first. When your blog traffic grows greatly and you are ready to upgrade to your own domain then you can simply make your last blog entry the announcement of your "move". Simply add a last entry stating that your blog has "moved" and type the new blog URL address. Which directs visitors to your new blog site, keeping your following, without a major inconvenience to anyone. Upgrade as you need to...but only when you need to!



2) Niche

A niche is a targeted product, service, or topic. You should first decide on a product, service, or topic which interest you. Choose an area which you can enthusiastically write about on a daily basis. You can use keyword research services like Google Zeitgeist or Yahoo! Buzz Index to find popular searched topics. It does NOT matter if your topic is popular as long as there is a audience for your topic and the topic is precisely focused then your blog should be successful. Anything can be considered a niche as long as it has a target audience no matter how large or how small the audience is. A blog about your cat can be a niche or a blog about the species of the cat family can be a larger niche market, if there are people who are interested in hearing about your cat or the species of the cat family, then you have a niche...you can even choose to build your audience for a market which an audience does not exist, but first you must build your blog.



3) Update Daily (nothing less)

This step is a must and not a suggestion. Updating your blog daily not only keeps your blog more interesting to readers, but it also gives your blog fresh content on a day to day making it more appealing to search engines. Not updating your blog on an occasional holiday or one day here and there is understandable to most, but missing days at a time or weeks is unacceptable and will most likely result in your blog being unsuccessful. To keep your blog traffic and retain your visitors interest it is a must to update your blog daily with multiple entries. Though, I am seeing a growing trend of successful blogs that are not being updated daily, but they are successful and have a stable audience who continue to visit their blog daily. Regardless, these blogs are still updated weekly with multiple entries. Until you have a steady audience you should try to update your blog everyday with at least 3 or more daily entries. The best way to accomplish this is to set aside 1-2 hours a day for tending to your blog and adding new entries. It may even be wise to schedule a set time which you dedicate to your blog each day. Give yourself work hours and treat your blog as a job, what happens if you don't come to work for days or weeks...you lose money or worse you get fired! Same applies here...if you don't update your blog for days or weeks you'll lose visitors.




4) Traffic

It's no secret. You must have traffic to profit from blogs. There are numerous ways to build traffic. Paid advertising, free advertising, viral marketing, search engine marketing, RSS/XML feeds, and word-of-mouth. You should always use your blog URL address in the signature of your email, forum discussions, message boards, or any other communication media. You should submit your blog URL address to search engines and blog directories. You should submit your RSS/XML URL feed to blog ping services like Technorati, Ping-O-Matic, and Blogdigger. You should confidently share your blog with family, friends, co-workers, associates, and business professionals when it relates. Many blogs can be considered as a collection of articles, for this purpose you should submit your blog entries (those that are valuable and lengthy articles) to content syndicators like GoArticles.com or ArticleCity.com. Once submitted your articles can be picked up and published by others. The trick is to make sure you include your Blog URL address in the "About the Author" passage. What this does is create link popularity and backlinks for your blog, when someone picks up your article from the syndication then publish the article on their website the "About the Author" passage is included with each publication and the link you included is followed, crawled, and indexed by search engines. Imagine if your article is popular enough or controversial enough to produce 10,000 publications across the web. The search engines is bound to find your blog in no time with that many publications and credit you a authority on the topic, in return increasing your rank on search engines. The small effort of writing a well written article is rewarding. You should try to write at least 1 full length article every week for syndication and submit your article to at least 10 article syndicators.




5) Track Your Blog

How do you know if your blog has traffic? Just because no one is leaving comments doesn't mean your blog isn't growing. Many visitors do not leave comments but they are returning visitors. I know it sounds crazy but with blogs people are more interested in what "you" have to say! Many visitors do not comment their 1st, 2nd, or 3rd time. Some do not comment at all, but are active daily visitors.



Tracking your blog does not have to be overly sophisticated usually a simple free page counter like StatCounter.com or Active Meter will do the trick. Install (copy/paste) the code into the html of your blog template and start tracking your visitors. Its better to use a service which gives you advanced traffic analysis, such as keyword tracking information, referral information, and search engine information. Visitors, returning visitors, and unique visitors should be standard for any page counter service you choose.



6) Listen to Your Audience

When using the proper page counter you should begin to see how others are finding your blog and if through search engines then which keywords are being used to find your blog. If constantly your blog is being found by 1 or more keywords then focus your blog around those keywords to make it even more powerful. When writing entry titles and entries use the keywords as often as possible while keeping the blog legible and interesting.



7) Multiple blogs

Use multiple blogging accounts (free) to attract more people. This means you should have a blog with JournalHome.com and others. The more blog accounts the better (be sure to read and adhere to the Terms of Service for each site). You can copy/paste from 1 blog to all others. Having different blog accounts is like having a publication in different newspapers. This enables you to attract more visitors and this also increases the chance that 1 of your blogs will be in the search engine results for your focused keywords.




8) Short & Concise

Aside from the lengthy article a week for syndication and publication your blog entries should be short & concise (if you can help it). Sometimes there are exceptions to the rule and you have no choice but to blog lengthy entries, but try to avoid this as much as possible. You do not want your blog entries to become hours of reading. Visitors like to easily find information and skim through your entries. It is good to be detailed and provide useful information, but do not include useless information or run away sentences that veer away from your topic. Stay keyword-focused.



9) Digital Art

Try to include non-advertising graphics, pictures, photos, and art in your blog entries. Not too much. Once a week is fine. Graphics can sometimes bring your blog to life. Of course, the content of the blog is the most important aspect and you do not want to overshadow your content with graphics, but displaying graphics can add a bit of spice to the blog. Be choosy about your graphics and make sure they fit your entry topic. You should add content with the graphic, at least a caption. Original graphics, photos, pictures, and art is recommended.



10) Keep it Personal

A blog is most successful when it is kept personal. Try to include personal experiences which relates to the topic of your blog entry. Stay away from the business style of writing. Write with a more personal style and use first-person narratives. Do not write any of your entries as sales letters, instead share product reviews and personal endeavors.

11) Interact With Your Visitors

You now have the traffic you deserve. You should begin interacting with your visitors. Create a regular theme such as: "Monday Money Tip" or "Picture of the Week" which entices your readers to look forward to each week.

Give your readers advance notice about a product, service, or topic which you are going to review and then talk about later. If the President was scheduled to give a speech then in your blog you should state that you "will discuss the speech and give your opinion after the speech airs. Comments will be appreciated".



Try your best to find exclusive information that not many have. Do not disclose any confidential or secret information which is deemed illegal or can potentially get you into trouble, but try to get the scoop before everyone else does. Such as: If your blog was about Paris Hilton (the socialite) and you had a blog entry about "Paris Hilton Getting Married" then it would be interesting to your readers if you had a actual picture of Paris Hilton engagement ring. Give your best effort to dig and search the internet for exclusive information and you will possibly come up with something useful. Your readers will appreciate this and they show their appreciation through word-of-mouth referrals. Imagine how many readers will tell their friends, family, and others about information they only can find at your blog.



12) Make Money

Once your blog has gained some real momentum and your blog traffic is increasing then it is time to start thinking about turning your traffic into profit. You should use contextual advertising, like Google Adsense or Chitika. Contextual advertising is usually text links which use the content of your blog to publish targeted ads on your blog. The payout is usually based on a pay-per-click model, meaning for ever click an ad receives you are paid a small percentage of the profits. In addition to contextual advertising it is good to also use graphical advertising such as: BlogAds.com, Amazon.com, MammaMedia, or General Sponsored Advertising.



13) You're a Professional

You're a professional now! What are you still doing with that free blog hosting service? It is time to upgrade to a domain hosted solution. You need to get a web host and choose a domain name for your blog then check its availability. Select the blogging software you wish to use, such as: Squarespace.com, WordPress.org, MovableType.org, TypePad, etc. When you have your new blog domain setup and ready for traffic then it is time for you to announce your move on all your previous blog accounts. Your last entry to the blog should be a "move" announcement. The title should be "Moved" and the blog entry should state something like "I have a new home for my blog, please bookmark and follow the link: http://www.YourNewBlogDomainName.com". This way all returning visitors and new readers should not have any problem finding your new blog domain. Plus, search engines can easily index and crawl your new blog, since your old blog should already be popular with the search engines.



At the level of a professional blogger you may want to team up with 1 or more other bloggers. This will create a more interesting and more powerful blog. The old saying "two heads is better than one", more authors mean more advertising and exposure because each author will have a vested interest in the blog. The idea of a team blog is to make it profitable and rewarding for all authors, while continuing to target the blog topic and keeping the blog interesting for visitors.




Following these blogging techniques should make your blogging experience much more rewarding. There is no guarantee that your blog will become popular or a household name, but the effort should at least put you one step closer. Making money online is not an overnight experience like many may think, but making money online is definitely a foreseeable possibility. As well, growing popularity on the web is not an overnight experience, but through time, dedication, and persistence you will be rewarded with all the royalties of blogging.

Test linking & embedding Scribd documents

Previous posts in the original Blogger Tips and Tricks (although I believe I am the very first to start "Blogger Tips and Tricks", a very useful and popular resource blog for bloggers particularly using Blogger.com's platform, there has sprouted lots other "Blogger Tips and Tricks" so forcing me to append the original to my original Blogger Tips and Tricks) have described how to upload WORD documents, Excel spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations plus embed into blogs and websites, things have changed requiring a retest of Scribd, so below is my test linking to Scribd: Criminal Trick and linking to Scribd: Criminal Trick, full screen plus test embedding below the document below:

Criminal Trick

Below are the screen shots I took while doing this test and you probably can see how to do it from the screen shots or alternatively wait till I get time tomorrow to write a new post over at my Scribd: Criminal Trick and linking to Scribd: Criminal Trick, full screen:

Test changing from classic template to New Blogger xml template

A blogger complained in the comments section of Upgrade to New Blogger xml LAYOUT template that he could not find the CUSTOMIZE DESIGN tab, so tested that in my spare Blogger classic template store blog and sure enough, the CUSTOMIZE DESIGN tab was there. See screenshot below:

Test embed Youtube video autoplay

So if the above plays automatically when you land on this page means test successful. So to make an embedded Youtube video autoplay, all you need to do is to add at the end of the Youtube URL &autoplay=1 and it will play automatically.

The above video was taken at Damansara Uptown: OVO live bistro

The original Youtube embed code:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BVa_3jn8XYY?hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BVa_3jn8XYY?hl=en&fs=1&autoplay=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

The modified Youtube embed code to make it autoplay with the added &autoplay=1 highlighted in red:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BVa_3jn8XYY?hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BVa_3jn8XYY?hl=en&fs=1&autoplay=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

And to further make it loop endlessly, just append &loop=1 at the end thus the code become:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BVa_3jn8XYY?hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BVa_3jn8XYY?hl=en&fs=1&autoplay=1&loop=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Using wrong Photobucket code or link causing problems

Look at the images side by side by using these HTML table tags for images side by side plus the codes used to display them and hope you can spot why using the wrong codes or links from Photobucket can cause such problem and realize which should be the correct one:

The HTML codes:

<table><tbody><tr><td><img src="http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc435/dkfreer/Redwoods/DSC_1322.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" width="135/" /></td><td><img src="http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc435/dkfreer/Redwoods/DSC_1323.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" width="135/" /></td><td><img src="http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc435/dkfreer/Redwoods/DSC_1324.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" width="135" /></td></tr></tbody></table>

Now add in some inline CSS for some background color:

Test inserting photos with Windows Live Writer

Let us see what happens when I try to insert a photo below with Windows Live Writer:

I end up with this code to display the picture with is a QR code for my main blog Blogger Tips and Tricks (if you have an iPhone, iPad or Android phone or mobile device try taking a photo of the above QR code and see if it takes you to my main blog):

<p><a href="$qr delivr dot com[2].png"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="qr delivr dot com" border="0" alt="qr delivr dot com" src="$qr delivr dot com_thumb.png" width="234" height="234" /></a></p> Now let's see what happens when I publish this post via Windows Live Writer

Update: Now I am editing this post direct in Blogger post editor. I see the above code for the picture replaced by these codes:

<p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_1354hN3vRng/TSUL1Sado0I/AAAAAAAAATo/2sW-D6wKZh8/s1600-h/qr%20delivr%20dot%20com%5B2%5D.png"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="qr delivr dot com" border="0" alt="qr delivr dot com" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_1354hN3vRng/TSUL2OBuwgI/AAAAAAAAATs/KWveg39zjns/qr%20delivr%20dot%20com_thumb.png?imgmax=800" width="234" height="234" /></a></p>

Note that the photo is no longer hosted by Blogger, but I can't tell what service is hosting the photo. Perhaps Microsoft?

Now this will be the ideal solution for those bloggers who are reaching their 1Gigabytes limit for uploading photos to Blogger. Upload your pictures through Windows Live Writer instead.

Now regarding the reliability of the webhost for the above photo ggpht.com (we need to know that the photo will be online for a long long time). Unfortunately Whois.net only revealed that the registra is Markmonitor Inc., not the owner of the domain:

Domain Name: GGPHT.COM

Test removing post footer timestamp

A blogger removed the time stamp and now wants it back. Here is my effort to identify which part of the template may be responsible for displaying the time stamp. Here I describe how I went about to try to locate those codes for the time stamp
1. Dashboard > Design > Edit HTML > Expand Widget Template
2. Ctrl+F and searched for post-footer
3. Found these codes:

<span class='post-timestamp'>
<b:if cond='data:top.showTimestamp'>
<data:top.timestampLabel/>
<b:if cond='data:post.url'>
<a class='timestamp-link' expr:href='data:post.url' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' expr:title='data:post.timestampISO8601'><data:post.timestamp/></abbr></a>
</b:if>
</b:if>
</span>

4. Without deleting anything, click PREVIEW and noted that time stamp at post footer (highlighted with red rectangle below)



5. Now the codes identified above was deleted and the PREVIEW button clicked again and the following was the result



Note that where there used to be a timestamp, now the position of the missing timestamp is highlighted by the red arrow.

Thus this test has identified that the codes above is responsible for displaying the timestamp which can be removed by deleting those codes. However since I have no intention to delete the timestamp, I clicked CLEAR EDIT and everything is back to as original.

But for the blogger who wants back her timestamp, I suppose she can experiment inserting those codes above into the relevant post-footer section of the template and preview to see if the timestamp is displayed for her blog.
