Free Premium Blogger Templates - Zinmag Tribune

I recently came across a beautiful template namely, "Zinmag Tribune Template". This template has almost all the features that a professional website contains. The only problem is that, it will be really very difficult for the newbies to understand the template. However, the people who have some knowledge about HTML will have a lot of fun with this template. Take a preview of the template below:

This template was originally designed by Jinsona Design but was converted by Falcon Hive for blogger use. The template basically offers two headers, one will include the name of your blog with various subscriptions(RSS, Email, Comments), while the other will have short description of posts with photos at the top(Content Glider). This avoids the inclusion of recent posts widget. You may also include your popular posts in that place instead of recent posts.

The right sidebar has slots for 125x125 ad placements. Even you may put a 250x300 ad there instead of a you tube video as seen in the preview. The other widgets on the sidebar are self explanatory. Now, coming to the body of the template, you have got enough place to expose your content to the visitor. There are 4 slots to show your content, each enabled with expandable post feature.

Apart from all this, Zinmag Tribune Template also includes a bottom column that is divided into three so that, you can put your miscellaneous things there, say blog directories icons or recent comments or your profile information. It is up to the blogger to decide what he wants. With all these beautiful features, I recommend you to try this provided you have some better knowledge about HTML or else it is better you stick on with your default blogger template.

Show more than 10 Recent Posts in Blogger

One simple method to keep your visitors stay in your website is to add a recent posts in the sidebar of your blog. The visitor is exposed to more content in your blog. This can easily be done in blogger by adding the "feed widget" with the default post feed as given below: http://yourblog.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default

Replace "yourblog" with URL of your blog in the above line. Now, with the above described method you can add only 5 recent posts but what if you want to expose more content to your visitor. So, Use Feedburner's BuzzBoost to increase and cuztomize your recent posts. For this, you first need to create a account with FeedBurner and then burn your feeds. It is very simple to do.

After you burn your feeds, follow these simple steps:

1. Navigate to "Publicize" tab from the dashboard for the feed you have burned now.

2. Look in the left sidebar to find a tab namely, BuzzBoost. Click on that.
3. On the BuzzBoost page, you can find many more options to customize the look of your recent posts widget. These options are pretty self-explanatory. Your widget will be some what like this if no options(no tick marks) are selected.
4. Once all this is done, you need to activate this option. You can find a "Activate" button at the bottom of the post. Click that and activate. Now, you can get the HTML for your recent posts widget.
5. Insert this code in your blog. I mean navigate to "Layout>> PageElements" from the dashboard and click on " Add a gadget". Select "HTML/JavaScript" and paste the code. Save it. That is it!! View your blog!!!

LinkWorth Review

I make it very clear that this post is not a sponsored post and it is just my view on LinkWorth. This site is really worth joining for all the new bloggers, provided they have some good traffic and monetize their blog as per the requirements of LinkWorth. There is no minimum requirement for your blog to get approved by them. So what do I mean by LinkWorth requirements? I mean you need to insert few keywords that will make money through LinkWords(Click here to find the secret with LinkWords).

LinkAds
This method is just to display a Text Ad as per the request of advertiser. You earn money just to display that link for a period of time. It is so simple but it is really difficult to get LinkAds deal, simply because the advertiser will expect his post published on a good traffic site and not on a new site(that too with blog spot domain).
LinkPost
This is simply a paid post. You need to publish a post in your blog about the advertiser site and once it gets approved from LinkWorth, you earn money. I will explain about this in my later posts. Even this method is quite difficult.
LinkWords
This is the best method as far as I know which will help you make a lot of money quickly. However, you need some good traffic to your site(Learn how to improve your traffic). Once you mention the keywords as per in this link(LinkWords Secret), you can easily make money.

LinkWorth does offer a lot of money making opportunities like LinkInTxt, LinkBB, LinkMura, LinkDir, LinkArt, LinkPress,etc... Their minimum payout through PayPal is 25$. You can achieve this easily within 2 months. I will post my Payment Proofs once I receive my payouts from them. They have also announced in their recent blog posts that they will soon be bringing out banner ads. Join Now

Make Money with Ask2Link

This post features about Ask2Link- a new site that helps you make more money from your blog. I prefer you to join this one provided you are banned from various other alternatives that I provided. My ratings for the various alternatives of Google Adsense will be LinkWorth(best), Adbrite(best), Bidvertiser(better) and then this one(Ask2Link) will stand as better while Project Wonderful will stand as the last one.

You may check out the reviews for each one of them here - LinkWorth, Adbrite, Bidvertiser, ProjectWonderful. This new site(Ask2Link) attracted me because it is an effortless job to make money with your blog provided, you have some good Alexa Ranking(less than 2,000,000) or a Google page rank of 1 (Click Here to improve your page rank). You just need to sign up with their program and provide a space for the advertiser to put his Text Ads and you earn money. There is nothing like Pay-Per-Click.


Why Ask2Link? Firstly, there is no minimum payout. The moment you make some money, you can get the payment on the first of next month through PayPal. Secondly, you see non-intrusive static text links with your blog. So, it means your blog will not be completely covered with text ads that will distract the user who is reading your content. Lastly, simple site navigation and user control is provided for all the publishers. Site submission and various other processes are user-friendly. Moreover, they accept both word press and blog spot domains.

I hope the above points truly hold good for this site. However, I am not sure if Google will be ban your page rank when you advertise text links through site. So, bloggers who feel page rank is more important, it is better you stay away from this site but those who want to make money some how from their blog, they can always join such programs to add a little cash into their PayPal Account.

How to change your Blogger Logo?

What is blogger logo or favicon? : It is a small icon that gets displayed once you open a webpage. You may find this in every site you visit. I feel you must change this logo to your choice, simply because if someone bookmarks your page, then rather than the default blogger logo, it will be your logo that is saved in their bookmarks. This is the blogger logo or favicon that we are talking about:

This post features on changing the default blogger to a blogger of your choice. You can create your own logos with Banner Maker Pro software or with Photoshop or even simply with Microsoft Paint. We design professional banners and logos for various websites and blogs, visit "Our Services" page to get one designed by us for your blog/website. After you design your logo, you need to format the size to 16x16. This can easily be done with Adobe Photoshop. Once all this is done, make sure you save your picture in ".ico" format. (For example - "myicon.ico")

After your logo is ready for display, you have to upload it to some site. You may use ImageShack for uploading the picture. After you upload the picture, you will get a link to that picture. Copy that link and save it in a text file.

1. Now, go to your blogger dashboard. Navigate to "Layout>>Edit HTML". Make sure you back up your template before doing any changes.

2. Search for the following code using "CTRL+F"

</head>

3. Now, paste the following code above the line mentioned in step 2.

<link href='http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/3879/micon.gif' rel='shortcut icon'/>
<link href='http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/3879/micon.gif' rel='icon'/>

4. You may replace the above link marked in blue with the link. to your image. Save your template and have a look at your blog (address bar) now.

The new blogger dashboard - Blogger In Draft, supports adding the same feature in one click.
