Finally Google+ now jumped to Blogger. Blogger team announced yesterday that now you can Use your public Google+ profile on all your existing BlogSpot blogs. Upon switching your default Blogger profile will be replaced with Google+ profile and all your posts, comments and Author profile widget will be redirected to your Google Plus profile. Your blog pseudonym will be replaced with your common name. Your blog photo and info will be replaced with that in Google plus. This option works at present with Blogger in draft and after few weeks it will work on blogger.com too.

Being an entrepreneur is about living a few years of your life like most wont, so that you can live the rest like most can’t.
Today, we are going to analyze the secrets behind the success of social networking websites. But before that, let’s have a look at the formal definition of social network. Professor J. A. Barnes, who coined the term social network, defined it as:
A social network is an association of people drawn together by family, work or hobby.
So, a social networking website is basically a mean of creating and expanding that network, using the internet facility. The reason why a website is suitable for this purpose is obvious...because it can connect people all over the globe, beyond the limitations of geographical distance. Now, the next point is how to bring strangers know about each other’s bio data, interests, hobbies etc and make new friends? And this is the charm and in fact challenge for the website developer.

It is really sad to know about the demise of a person who was an innovation for tech, a role model for entrepreneurs and an inspiration for millions. Yes...I am talking about the visionary Steve Jobs, ex-CEO of Apple Inc. He had a medical history of seven years, when in 2004, he had removal of his cancerous tumor from his pancreas. He was quite positive about his operation, but, his health issues were more complex than he originally thought. On Oct 5, 2011, the death of Steve Jobs was announced by the board of directors of Apple.
It is not the mankind alone, but technology as well to bear the loss of such a creative genius
Who had thought that a dropout from college could have insanely different principles for breakthrough success in his career?

Facebook timeline is a great way of displaying your old photos, memorable posts and apps with your friends and family. This feature changes your entire Facebook Profile layout into a more attractive look. I previously wrote a tutorial on how to Enable Facebook Timeline Feature and today I am sharing the tutorial on how to completely remove the timeline app from your profile and revert to older Facebook profile layout. Since this time-based story telling did receive mixed feedback therefore it would be really helpful for most of you to learn how to undo/delete this application.

After several trials and errors finally we managed to design a fully equipped blogger widget that contains Facebook Like & Send button, Email Form (Subscription box) and social media icons. This widget can be found on many wordpress blogs added at the bottom of posts. It catches great attention of the visitor and forces him to like and share your article. That's why we named this gadget as "Do you like this story?" It is a more advance version of the widget I shared few days back which only offered visitors with a subscription option but this one offers a lot more. It will increase your Traffic through Facebook, Increase your subscribers, facebook fans and twitter followers. Indeed a magic box!

Blogger blogs has the free option of editing the style sheet. Fortunately you can play around the codes to give your blog any look you want. Last year I shared various ways of customizing the heading tags i.e. H3. We use H3 tags inside posts to write headlines and important sections of the posts. Today we would learn how to create a custom headline that will change colour on mouse hover. We will use CSS3 effects to produce a drop shadow effect along with mouse hover effect. This will give your headlines a neon look. So lets do it!

Ever wanted an online Photo Editor with complete Image Editing options just like Adobe Photoshop CS5? Fortunately I just came across a great online image editing tool by the name Pixlr . It includes all options that photoshop has to offer. You have the option to browse an image from your computer and use effects like Gradient, brush, paint, filter, Engrave and emboss, red eye, blur, smudge etc. You can save the image in high quality formats like BMP, JPEG, PNG and two other new formats. The Image towards left is created using Pixlr.

Google Custom Search Engine is another option that Adsense provides to increase your blog revenue. I shared detailed posts on how to create a custom search engine and integrate adsense in it. However the problem with the customization and editing options that Google provides lacks complete control over the margining and padding of the search box. Today we will learn on how to change the look of the search box using our own custom styles and change the size and alignment of the box elements. It is perfectly alright to edit the stylesheet (i.e. CSS Code) of the search engine because it is just a design change and therefore it does not violate any of Adsense terms of service. So lets get going!

Last week we shared a tutorial on how to create a navigation menu from blogger labels and today we will use the official Pages Widget to create an automatically updated Tabs menu. If you have already created pages then they will all appear on this menu. Whenever you create a new page, the page will be added automatically to the link list in order. Such Menu is useful for displaying links to pages such as Contact, About and home. This is again a first time shared tutorial by MBT which converts Pages Widget into a Menu. I hope you like it. Lets first see a demo,

Sometimes we take decisions without giving a second thought and this leads us to trouble and we regret on what we did and wish to undo what you did in hurry. Blogger provides all users to import, export or to permanently delete their BlogSpot blogs. Suppose you deleted a blog and seconds later you realized that the deleted blog contained some important information inside posts and widgets. How to undo what you did or how to restore your blog and get it back? Fortunately Google provides a 90 days restoration option. Deleted blogs can be restored within 90 days after which they are removed forever from your blogger account. The post today will share how to restore your blog before the three months temporary limit is exceeded.

Bugs and Errors
The sudden disappearance of PageRank on Plugins, add-ons and extensions have given rise to a new debate of whether Google PageRank is now dead/ended or no more exists. A PageRank is a website authority rank with 0 being the least and 10 being the highest. It tells about how much the site is trusted by other web owners. Its authority is judged by the number of backlinks a website receives. PageRank has become so much popular amongst webmasters that people started buying links and selling links the very next year it was introduced. A PageRank increase do also encourages the author to write more and generate more quality content. However these days many add-ons such as searchstatus and seoquake along with Google Toolbar (Update: It does show PR now) stopped showing PR for a page and instead show 0 or N/A or Private. There are some misconceptions which must be cleared.

Alhamdulillah I am back to work and today we are going to make a high quality RSS subscription box with no images or complex scripts. Alerting your visitors to subscribe at the bottom of your posts often help in increasing the number of your blog subscribers. The more readers you get the faster your blog grow. Providing visitors with easy and clean options to subscribe and bookmark should always be your first priority. I managed to design a simple box using CSS3 gradient and text shadow effect to create a container with RSS form inside it. The widget will stick to the bottom of your post and will let your visitors to submit their email addresses and subscribe to your FEED updates. Surely the best way to draw attention!

This new menu has two different variations. The color combination can either be red in active mode and grey on mouse hover or vice versa. It is a shiny navigation menu that is mainly created for including blogger pages such as Home, Contact, About. That's why I ignored adding a drop down column to it. Very soon we will also learn how to create mega menus with multi columns in drop down view. But first lets see a demo first,
