Google Blogging Tip # 71: Googles NEW Profile Settings
Q) Should I select the message Google has included in my Blog called 'Email Notifications ?'
A) It won't hurt anything if you do. It does NOT change anything on your BLOG or how it functions. It simply allows Google to send you Emails on issues Google thinks is important about Blogging. If you say yes, you can opt out of these emails by selecting 'Email Notifications' under Profile, and unchecking the box, then save your settings. You can also do the same to opt in to getting these email notifications by checking the box and save your settings.

Google Blogging Tip # 70: Setting Up Your Blog Gadgets, Part 27 - Adding Google Website Search
Adding 'Google Internet Search from within your Blog.'
Reference: Google Blogging Tip # 51: Setting Up Your Google Blog Gadgets, Part 21 - This Gadget allows people to SEARCH items within your Blog.
Q) I loaded the Google Blog / Site Search Gadget you provided on Tip # 51 but it only searches what's within my own Blog. Can you provide me with the code so people can SEARCH the Internet from within my Blog?
A) Yes, but I don't recommend this Gadget because anything that departs a viewer (visitor) from your Blog distracts them from your Blog, i.e. they probably wont return.
Note: This will appear on your Google Sidebar (column).
Steps:
1. Sign-in to your Google Blog.
2. Select 'Layouts.'
3. Select 'Gadgets.'
4. Select 'JavaScript / HTML.'
5. Copy and Paste the code from The Blog Guy's Web Page.

Reference: Google Blogging Tip # 51: Setting Up Your Google Blog Gadgets, Part 21 - This Gadget allows people to SEARCH items within your Blog.
Q) I loaded the Google Blog / Site Search Gadget you provided on Tip # 51 but it only searches what's within my own Blog. Can you provide me with the code so people can SEARCH the Internet from within my Blog?
A) Yes, but I don't recommend this Gadget because anything that departs a viewer (visitor) from your Blog distracts them from your Blog, i.e. they probably wont return.
Note: This will appear on your Google Sidebar (column).
Steps:
1. Sign-in to your Google Blog.
2. Select 'Layouts.'
3. Select 'Gadgets.'
4. Select 'JavaScript / HTML.'
5. Copy and Paste the code from The Blog Guy's Web Page.
6. Save, View Blog, go back make changes as desired.
7. Move the Gadget to the desired location.

Google Blogging Tip # 68: HTML Tip
Using an HTML Code for 'Spacing or Ending a Text.'
This is a simple HTML Code that really comes in handy.
Q) I have a website. I do a lot of TEXT posting and the sentences or paragraphs don't always appear as I would like them to when I publish the site to the Internet. What can I do to fix this?
A) There are a couple of alternatives but the simplest method is to use the 'break, space, or return function' It is one of the most often used HTML Code.
The Picture shows the HTML Code. It is NOT case sensitive.
Some uses are:
- Break a sentence or paragraph where you want and start a new line.
- Separate picture images.
- Increase the spacing between items such as paragraphs or links.
- For Blogs, many people don't like the way the post is so close to the comments, backlinks, etc. once the post is published. Using this simply technique will leave a space between the end of your post and the Blog's automated system postings.
Example, I will use it here and you can see that a space exists between the Post and the Labels.
--->I have received a lot of emails about using Google AdSense after people sign-up for it. To answer your questions properly, I had to sign-up for Google AdSense myself. I am playing around with the different types of AdSense Ads you can use. Once I get a feel of what works best I'll publish some Tips on 'How to ADD Google AdSense Ads to your Blog or Website.' Please be patient.
