Subscription Email Form For Blogger Equipped With RSS Feed

Click here To use Wordpress Type Subscription Email Form

Blogger-Subscription-Form

 

I am extremely sorry for delaying this post. Due to burden of studies I was finding it difficult to publish posts but now everything is fine. Now without wasting your time lets jump straight to the tutorial of adding a beautiful Subscription form to the sidebars of your BlogSpot blogs.

 

Before Proceeding make sure you have burnt your feeds at www.feedburner.com

Now do the following,

  1. Go To Blogger > Layout
  2. Click Add a Gadget or Add a Page element
  3. Choose HTML/JavaScript Widget
  4. Inside this widget paste the code below,

<a href="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/TntByStc" rel="alternate" title="Subscribe now to avail the unthinkable" type="application/rss+xml"><img border="0" alt="" style=" padding-bottom:20px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; width:100px; height:100px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNosU-QO4nUkPL5eiU6bQOI2fc6FSELprKMBB2lvuDBBZnytA2yybTR5G9UNIDNZEKpxCRb-SrYAnEkgLsRCfZsZoKVHKsE9kyEx5dPqN1Z7M2eG1Nog1GzG8soEsFp2c_27OS4kCsCk1p/s400/MBT-RSS-FEED.gif"/></a><p><a href="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/TntByStc" rel="alternate" title="Subscribe to my feed" type="application/rss+xml">Join the team! </a><span style="color: #5C6AA4; font-weight: bold;">By Submitting your email address:</span></p>
<style>
input.mbt1 {
color:#fff;
font: bold 10px Arial, sans-serif;
background:#F39100;
border:0;
padding:3px;
}
input.mbt1hov {
color:#fff;
font: bold 10px Arial, sans-serif;
border:2px solid #F39100;
padding:3px;
}
</style>
<form action="http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify" style="padding: 5px; " target="popupwindow" method="post" onsubmit="window.open('http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=TntByStc', 'popupwindow', 'scrollbars=yes,width=550,height=520');return true"><input style=" color:#5C6AA4; background: #fff; border:1px solid #5C6AA4; width: 90px;" name="email" type="text"/><input value="TntByStc" name="uri" type="hidden"/><input value="en_US" name="loc" type="hidden"/> <input onmouseover="this.className='mbt1 mbt1hov'" onmouseout="this.className='mbt1'" value="GO!" class="mbt1" type="submit"/></form><br/>

Now you need to make some important changes to customize the widget.

  • Replace http://feeds2.feedburner.com/TntByStc with your Feed URL that Feedburner has provided you. If you don’t now how to get it simple replace TntByStc with your Feed title like this,

http://feeds2.feedburner.com/Paste-Your-Feed-Title-here

 

  • To use a different RSS Feed Icon simple change the URL below with that of yours,

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNosU-QO4nUkPL5eiU6bQOI2fc6FSELprKMBB2lvuDBBZnytA2yybTR5G9UNIDNZEKpxCRb-SrYAnEkgLsRCfZsZoKVHKsE9kyEx5dPqN1Z7M2eG1Nog1GzG8soEsFp2c_27OS4kCsCk1p/s400/MBT-RSS-FEED.gif

  • Replace TntByStc with your own Feedburner Feed Title
  • The Color code #5C6AA4 refers to the text colour and border colour of the Subscription Box. May be MBT Color Chart will help you. If you are using MBT Buster Themes than change the colours as follows,

               For Buster Theme 1 leave the code #5C6AA4 unchanged.

               For Buster Theme 2 replace #5C6AA4 with #64A6E4

               For Buster Theme 3 replace #5C6AA4 with #37BD07

               For Buster Theme 4 replace #5C6AA4 with #7CA2C4

               If you are using MBT Church Theme then replace #5C6AA4 with #7CA2C4

That’s it. Hit Save and Preview Your Widget!

I hope it was simple to understand :|

WordPress MP3 Player For BLOGGER

mp3Updated Post On Readers Demand
I am pretty excited to share the trick of adding one of the best flash players to your blog. This player is different from rest of the Mp3 players found elsewhere. It is simple in design, supports music with a high range of frequencies and most importantly works with all browsers. Adding this player will add a pro look to your blog because many bloggers don’t know about this player as yet, so be the first to use it. Many bloggers also think that this audio player works with WordPress only but with a little tweaking  I will help you add this player successfully to your BlogSpot blogs.
This is how your cool flash player would look like,

 
To add this player to your blog post or sidebar, do the following,
  • Go to Layout > Edit HTML >
Layout
  • Backup your template >
backup-template
  • Press Ctrl + F and look for </head> by using the search box,
Search-code
  • Immediately above </head> tag  add this code,
Tip of Copying the Code Below:- Start Highlighting the Code from bottom to top and then Press Ctrl + C  to copy it. To Paste it above </head> simply press Ctrl + V 
That’s it.
<script type='text/javascript'>

  • Save your template
Now whenever you want to add this WordPress Audio Player to your posts or sidebar, add the code below to the Edit HTML section of your Post or to the HTML/JavaScript widget in your sidebar.
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://mustafastc.fileave.com/player.swf" id="audioplayer1" height="24" width="290">
<param name="movie" value="http://mustafastc.fileave.com/player.swf">
<param name="FlashVars" value="playerID=1&amp;soundFile=URL of your MP3">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="menu" value="false">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
</object>
Remember to replace the text in green with the URL of your MP3 file.
Now publish your post and enjoy listening to your favorite music!

Add more than one Wordpress audio player per post
To add more than one audio player to your post, simply add the code below for your second player,
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://mustafastc.fileave.com/player.swf" id="audioplayer2" height="24" width="290">
<param name="movie" value="http://mustafastc.fileave.com/player.swf">
<param name="FlashVars" value="playerID=2&amp;soundFile=URL of your second MP3 file">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="menu" value="false">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
</object>
You get another Mp3 player just like the first one
Remember to replace the text in green with the URL of your MP3 file. If you want to use an extra player, simply change the text in red to the number of player. For adding a third player change the text in red to 3 and so on.
Attention!
The Reason why many readers were getting errors while using this player is that I have saved the flash file of this player in a free hosting service like www.fileave.com To have this player work efficiently kindly save the following files in a free file hosting service and link to them using your own URLs,
  • Flash Player File
I have linked to the above flash file as http://mustafastc.fileave.com/player.swf in the codes shared above. Kindly replace this URL with yours.
Update:- If you wish to colorize the player or want to change its look and feel then read this post –> Customize The Color Scheme Of Wordpress MP3 Player
I hope you would like this new update. If you have any question please feel free to ask me in the comment box below.

Customize Bullet List and Number list Using Hover Effect

Bullet and Number List Hover Effect Keeping the posts unique in every way should be the aim of every blogger. The Number list (ol) and Bullet list (ul) is an important part of a good article. To change  the entire look and feel of these lists we will use simple CSS effects to bring about a change in bullets and number style on mouse hover. This tutorial consists of two very interesting parts,

 

 

 

  1. Change Bullet list (un-ordered list) style on Mouse Hover
  2. Change Number List (order list) style on Mouse Hover

Change Bullet list (ul) style on Mouse Hover

Before I may start lets see a Live Demo. Make sure you hit the Preview button.

 

Live Demo

 

To add this effect to your posts, do the following,

  • Log into Blogger
  • Go To Layout > Edit HTML
  • Now add this piece of code just above ]]></b:skin>

.post ul {list-style-type: circle;
    }

.post ul li {

line-height: 1.5em;       
color:#289728;
}

.post ul li:hover {
       color:#0080ff;
list-style-type: disc;
}
.post ul p { color:#555555;
             line-height:1.4em;  }

You can change the colors with any Hexa Decimal Value you like and can also change list-style-type: with many options like : circle, disc or square.

  • Save Your template

Now whenever you create a bullet list in your posts make a minor change to it by adding p tag to it. How? Read below,

  • Once you have created a bullet list in your  post switch to the EDIT HTML Section and search for <ul> You will find a code something like below,

<ul>

<li>Your Content Here</li>

<li>Your Content Here</li>

</ul>

It doesn’t matter if the code appears horizontally. You just need to replace <li> with <li><p> and </li> with </p></li> . Replace them as many times as they appear. Now the code will look like this,

<ul>

<li><p>Your Content Here</p></li>

<li><p>Your Content Here</p></li>

</ul>

Publish your post and enjoy the new bullet style.

Live Demo

To add this effect to your posts, do the following,

  • Log into Blogger
  • Go To Layout > Edit HTML
  • Now add this piece of code just above ]]></b:skin>

.post ol {
  font: italic 1em Georgia, Times, serif;
  color: #999999;
}

.post ol li {
line-height: 1.4em;
font: italic 1em Georgia, Times, serif;
  color: #289728;
}

.post ol li:hover {
font:bold italic 1em Georgia, Times, serif;
  color: #0080ff;
}

.post ol p {
  font: normal 1em Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
  color: #555555;
  line-height:1.4em;
}

Change the colors to suit your preferences. For help use our color chart.

  • Save your template

Now whenever you write a post and use a number list just make similar changes to the code in edit html section as you did for un-ordered list. But this time instead of searching for <ul> search for <ol> Make sure you change <li> with <li><p> and </li> with </p></li>

That’s it! preview you template to see the new change in number list.

Learn CSS, HTML and JavaScript Offline! Using MBT HTML Editor

MBT-HTML-Editor The biggest problem faced by majority of newbie bloggers and web developers  is editing their templates. And the reason for this is lack of awareness with browser languages like CSS, XML, HTML, JavaScript etc. There are several websites online that have tutorials in these fields and one of such websites is www.w3schools.com This website is popular because it lets you play with the code! It has an Online HTML Editor Tool that lets you see live preview of the code that you use. Many developers find this tool pretty useful but has someone ever imagined that you can actually rip this tool out of w3schools and use it offline for practicing coding while offline? Well fortunately after some trial and error we could successfully create a similar tool entitled as “MBT HTML Editor” or Blogger HTML Editor This is the first time all bloggers are having a chance to have fun playing with important codes like CSS, HTML and JavaScript and learn important coding in a more interesting way! Now you can actually test a code before adding them to blogger.

This tool is better than any other HTML Editor found online or available as a software, in the following ways,

  1. It works Offline in any browser available
  2. Takes less than a fraction of a second to show live preview
  3. Is equal in size to a peanut i.e 2.32 Kb
  4. Code is saved in browser if your PC shutdowns accidently 
  5. You can go back several times using Ctrl + Z and go forward using Ctrl + Y
  6. Can be used to test a code for Cross Browser Compatibility
  7. It is free of charge thanks to MBT! :D

 

Downloading Instructions

To Download this HTML Editor to your PC follow the steps below,

  • Click this link –> MBT HTML Editor (See it in action here: Blogger HTML Editor)
  • The MBT HTML Editor window will expand. Now you can start using it Online but to work offline in it you need to save it first. To save it click on the file menu at top-left-corner of your browser and then choose “Save As”  or “Save Page As”. Select a safe location and hit enter, as shown below,

downloading-html-editor

 

  • Done!

Troubleshoot:- In IE a Security alert will appear, ignore it by right clicking on it and then selecting Allow Blocked Content

Instructions For Using MBT HTML EDITOR

This tool consists of two panes i.e left pane and right pane. See a screen shot below,

 html-editor-instructions

 

The left pane is the area where you add your code and the right pane is the area responsible for displaying a visual view of the code. The CSS code is added just between <style> and </style>  and the HTML code is added just below </style>

Playing With A Code

Lets now play with a code using our HTML Editor. I am using the Image Opacity Effect Trick here as an example.

The CSS code for Opacity Effect looks like this,

img {
filter:alpha(opacity=100);
-moz-opacity: 1.0;
opacity: 1.0;
border:0;
}
img:hover {
filter:alpha(opacity=30);
-moz-opacity: 0.30;
opacity: 0.30;
border:0;
}

Now to apply this effect to an image we will need an HTML code as shared below,

<img  class="Fadein"  src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjevYHv86pvTtlfqO3cqdio6zoqpDpq1uMRszjjSOyYLIvK_W30vGmiu5zrRVwEpUrH78ccLPM8O0ToDGEj9hBQ7AB9spJ7D0nvIc_9X-31fMo8xlHn-BdKPSDd8HAipUf_jQ08OpiCEGgY/s400/DIGG.png">

Now The best part, add the CSS code just between <style> and </style>  and the HTML code just below </style>. Hit the Preview button and watch the dancing code in action in front of your eyes. You can now start the play!

See this screen shot,

MBT-HTML-EDITOR-DISPLAY

Some Important Tips:-

  • To go backward to previous changes, click Ctrl + Z
  • To go forward to last changes made, click Ctrl + Y
  • To get URL of an image saved in your hard drive suppose Drive F, open Firefox browser and simply type  F: in the address bar and hit enter. That drive will open and now simply browse to that image and right click on it and then click on Copy Link Location. Alas! you got the URL. Now use this URL wherever required during your offline code editing adventure.
  • Once you are happy with the code that you prepared then simply paste the CSS code just above ]]></b:skin> inside your blogger template and the HTML code where you want the effect to be seen i.e post or sidebar

 

Hope this Tool will be of great use to bloggers and web developers across the globe. I hope you may find it easy to better understand and learn browser languages and implement them to invent new codes with new creativities. Do let me know how useful you find it. We played our part and now its your turn to spread the message!

Note:-

I have also created a tool that lets you change special HTML Characters to Entities. It lets you add HTML code to your posts and comment section as I usually do. Hope you will like it too. You can have a look at it by click this link –> Change Special HTML Characters To Entities

    <div style="width: 350px; height: 270px;" class="Halamans">
    <div class="Halaman">
    <div class="Alas">
    <br/>

TAB 1 CONTENT GOES HERE

    </div>
    </div>
    <div class="Halaman">
    <div class="Alas">
    <br/>

TAB 2 CONTENT GOES HERE

    </div>
    </div>
    <div class="Halaman">
    <div class="Alas">
    <br/>

TAB 3 CONTENT GOES HERE

    </div>
    </div>
    </div>
    </div>
    </form>
<script type="text/javascript">tabtampil_inisial('TabTampil');</script>

Replace Tab 1, 2, 3 With Tab Titles and TAB 1,2,3 CONTENT GOES HERE  with the HTML code of your Recent Comments, Posts and Popular Posts Widgets. You can add anything in Tab Content Area.

I worked really hard to make this widget user friendly. You will find this widget code really handy. Further I have also solved the Browser compatibility Issue i.e The tabs will look rounded in Firefox, Safari, Opera, Chrome and they will only look rectangular in IE. IE was a real headache for me!

 

Create The Header Background Image

You will have to create a Header image in gif format and with dimensions 1024 by 214. After you have created one, upload it to your template as follows,

  1. Go To layout
  2. Then click the Edit link at the top of your layout as shown below,

 buster-theme-layout  

    3.   A window will open. Click the Browse button and locate your header image. Make sure you check the box saying “Instead of Title and Description

    4.    Hit save and you are done!

 

Optimization

As I said all MBT Templates are optimized by default! Hence you do not need to find meta tags and add them inside your templates. You only need to add the required keywords, description and your name to the metas. Follow the steps below,

  1. Go To Layout > Edit HTML
  2. And search for <head> (Tip:- Press Ctrl + F to use a search box for finding <head>)
  3. You will find 4 important meta tags under the <head> tag as shown in the image below,

You just need to edit the required fields as guided in the bolded text below.

Update:- I have observed that for some unknown reasons the meta tags get automatically deleted. If you see no metas in your buster theme than simple copy paste the code below just under <b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>

<link href='mailto:Your Email Address Goes Here' rev='made'/>
<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'>
<meta content='Add your blog description here. Maximum Characters (including spaces) should be 120' name='Description'/></b:if>
<meta content='Add your keywords here, Maximum Characters (including spaces) should be 200' name='keywords'/>
<meta content='Write your name here' name='Author'/>

Once done, hit Save. You have now successfully optimized your Buster Theme by allowing search engines to crawl your template smoothly.

For Details on how to choose good keywords and how to write effective keywords and description, read  the Optimization Guide for MBT Church Theme

Monetization

For adding Adsense code below posts, you will need to follow the steps below,

  1. Get Your Adsense Code From www.adsense.com Make sure to select a horizontal banner or horizontally aligned 5 links.
  2. Convert Your Adsense Code into an embeddable one by using the MBT Tool
  3. Now Go To your Layout > Edit HTML
  4. Check The Expand Widgets Box
  5. And search for <div class='adsense'> You will see something like the code below,

<div class='adsense'>
<center><b>YOUR ADSENSE CODE GOES HERE</b></center>
</div>

    6.    Replace the bolded black text with your Adsense code and hit save. You are Done!
