Since I really started blogging seriously I have tried to stay focused and on-topic, but there are strong distractions that can divert the attention of even the most dedicated business blogger. Today I was looking at a blog called machinbidule whose owner, Pritam, has complied a collection of the most visually interesting articles I have seen in a long time. Total respect – writing is one skill, but finding and loading images can take ages and there is a lot of design needed to make them look good. Pritam has collated some stunning images: I like the gallery of the cat who cuddles a mouse, and also the watery flames caught my eye. There is also a topical collection of past and present Olympic logos: I had no idea they were designed so far in advance. If you are lucky enough to have a job – that is, you are not working for yourself – then you can spend many happy hours over at machnibidule.com

How To put Google Adsense or Kontera on WordPress Blogs

While WordPress software is a robust and complete blogging system, in order to really maximize the software and make money from Google Adsense you’ll need to install and use a couple of Adsense “plugins”.

Most of the plugins can be found by doing a search on Google, and installation is simple and straightforward. All you need to do is upload the plugin to your web host using an FTP, and activate the plugin inside your WordPress administration area. Read more »

Internet Authors don’t need advice

Most writers in England waste a lot of their time posting off extracts of their exciting new manuscripts to publishers. Most of the time these would-be authors see their work come winging back, unwanted. That’s annoying enough in itself, but in some cases there is an even more unwelcome addition – advice. ‘Try a larger publishing house’ says the note. That’s meant to be helpful? Which publisher do they have in mind? What makes them think the other guys would want something that people here have decided is unpublishable? In most cases, unfortunately, unwitting authors take these snippets at face value and assume the creator knows some secret information that they are not privy to. They take the advice, they take the action, and are disappointed again when it leads nowhere. After all, an employee of a publisher might know what their own firm requires, (if they take the time to listen to their colleagues), but they are as much in the dark as the rest of us when it comes to discerning what the company down the street wants.

I do not recommend Blogger sas the top choice for your Adsense site and I have explained that a WordPress Blog on your own domain is better if want a successful Google Adsense Blog. However if you are still using Blogger here is some news for you. Blogger has now included the option to put your Adsense ads between your blog posts using the Blogger AdSense widget. Read more »

I was recently looking for a plugin that would show Adsense ads in WordPress blog posts, I wanted something that would enable me to stop the Adsense ads showing on a post if necessary.  The reason for this is that if the post is sponsored by an advertiser they do not want to see ads from another network in their paid blog post.   I am now using an excellent free plugin called Adsense injection.  This plugin places the Adsense ad units seamlessly in the middle of the blog post or page, and it displays them differently every time the page is reloaded.    You can also use this plugin with Yahoo Publisher Network.

There are plenty plugins that claim to make your Adsense ad units display better, and even increase the clickthrough rate.  Some of them actually breach Google’s terms of service and that is not a good idea.  Some of the ‘Adsense Plugins’ and Widgets simply failed to work when I uploaded them to my blogs. Eventually I found a very simple and effective plugin that will display AdSense Ads on a WordPress Blog, the download instructions are simple and you can soon get ads in your WordPress blog posts using this plugin.

The new Blogger ‘layout’ with widgets seems to be in use by a number of bloggers and I have been leaving plaintive notes on other people’s blogs asking how they made the transition without having a nervous breakdown. I am now in a dilemma, as a number of ‘paid to blog‘ sites ask bloggers to use the new Blogger widgets as part of the display process. I am seriously considering setting up a wordpress blog as an alternative so I will be touring some wordpress blogs to check them out.

It is accepted that comments at other people’s blogs can produce a surge of relevant visits to your own sites, but new bloggers are wary of being accused of ‘spamming’. I find that on my dog’s blog other bloggers – canine or otherwise – visit and leave friendly comments. On business oriented blogs poeple are a little more guarded in their views. If you work on Blogger, your comment will automatically include a link to your profile, however I find it easier of people include a direct link to their blog or site so that I can see it in one click. That’s my view anyway.

I was pleased to get a message over at Kevin the Collie’s Blog from Peter, who had noticed that a hyperlink in Kev’s profile was blending into the background. The font was defined in the stylesheet and I had given up trying to change the colour as Blogger does not always make these things easy. But Peter, whose site is called ‘Blogger for Dummies’ patiently explained a simple way to change the font – even this dummy managed to do it. Thanks again, Peter.
