Google Blogging Tip # 100: Google Blogs, Substituting a Picture for the Title on a Post

Q) I have tried repeatedly to add an HTML Code within the 'Title' bar of Google blogspot Blog 'New Post' and cannot get it to work. I want to substitute a Picture for the Title on my Post. I have seen this done on other blogs.
How do you do this?

A) Google blocks the use of HTML and JavaScript within its Title Block for Posts. To avoid using the Layout, and 'Edit HTML' function, there is a simple way to accomplish this. Just don't use the 'Title Bar' at all. Also, do not use the Link Bar if you have it enabled.
Place your picture at the top of the empty block where you would add any text, pictures, or video. I believe this will accomplish what you are trying to do. I recommend the picture image be 375 pixels wide x 55 pixels high.

Google Blogging Tip # 99: How to Perform Maintenance on Your Twitter Page

Q) My Twitter Page is a mess. I am Following more people than are Following Me. How can I clean up my Twitter Page and get rid of all the dead beats to make room for legitimate Followers I want to add?


A) Twitter makes this quite hard for their users. First at the moment as a Twitter Page user you are only allowed to have 2,001 Tweets you can follow. However, there is no limit to the number of people who can follow you.
Fortunately, there are some third party software providers that can clean up your Twitter Page account. I experimented with two. One didn't work for me at all.
I found that using Tweepi is the best approach.
Email Inquiries: 24

Just click on the Link and it will take you to the Tweepi Page.
First I have laid out a step by step illustration to walk you through how to use Tweepi and what each step will look like till you're finished.
If you have a high number of people you are following on your Twitter Page, say between 1,500 to 2,000 this process may take about an hour to complete. So allow enough time.

Link:
Tweepi Home Page

First sign-in to your Twitter Page and see how many people your are Following and how many people are Following you.




This is Tweepi main page. Slect 'FLUSH.'

Note: Once in do not use any of the option or settings other than what is shown in the pictures below.



This will take you to the Tweepi Flush Page.



You will get this next widow...
From here you must sign-in to your Twitter Account.




You are now connected to Tweepi Clean-up and your Twitter Page.
When getting started with Tweepi clean-up, which they call Flush, make sure you allow the blue bar to load all the way.
Just above the Blur Bar you will see the number of Followers you need to get rid of. Then the column to the far right, under 'Friend' you will see 'You're Following User.' At the top far right column, check the box 'Follow' all the boxes under 'Follow' should have a check mark. Next simply go to the bottom of the page and click on 'UNFOLLOW.' At this point, by default you will be loading 20 Followers at a time. If you click on the bottom box 'Tweet This' Tweepi will load 40 Followers at a time. It will put a tweet on your Twitter Page automatically but it saves a lot of time.










Here Tweepi is processing getting rid of the pages you no longer want to follow. Do NOT interrupt the process.






Tweepi has 'Unfollowed' those unwanted Tweets. Remember this has to be done repeatedly of 40 Twitter Followers per Tweepi page until completed. Use the 'Next' page function and Tweepi loads it automatically. Again wait for the Blue Bar to load all the way, and check Follow on ALL. Then UNFOLLOW to get rid of them. Just keep doing this until Tweepi has cleaned up your Twitter Page.




How your Twitter Page should look when you are done cleaning it up with Tweepi.




Important Note:
I suggest running Tweepi once per month to clean up your Twitter Page.

Q) Can you tell me how to create a Google 'Profile' without creating a Google Blog?

Google Blogging Tip # 94: Resolving Google Blog Issues with Post Editor

Q) Google Blog has two Post Edits found under 'Settings'; one is the 'Old' format and the other is 'New' format. Can you tell me how to upload movies from my desktop or computer file folder using the NEW Post Edit Format?

A) Explanation for Problem-
If you have a Google blogspot Blog and it is more than year a old you probably haven't even noticed that Google offers two settings for the Post Edit function (Adding a New Post to your Google Blog). New Blog owners will notice because some templates default to the 'New' format shown as Updated Editor, under Settings, at 'Select Post Editor.' Anyone can update their Blog to the new setting.
The problem with the 'New' Post Editor the functions are more like something you find in a Word Text file such as Microsoft Word. They do have a place to upload pictures, same as the old format. The problem is they have omitted the Icon Function to upload a movie / video. You can still copy and paste online videos such as YouTube, LiveLeak, etc. You can also link to a video post online and the video will function, but if the link is removed or lost the video on your blog is gone.
Google is still developing this New Format, but they have to be aware that the Icon for uploading a Video is not there.
My guess is that they omitted it on purpose. There can be several reasons for this, among them are:
1) Google doesn't want to be involved with someone uploading property that belongs to someone else, even though videos usually embed their owner's name and URL Address so credit s given.
2) Bandwith and data storage are the main reasons I am sure. Videos take up a lot of storage space and with millions of Google Bloggers all over the world, this becomes very costly. Remember your Blog is Free!
3) Google owns YouTube and wants t promote its use.

Solving the Problem-
In the interim, use the old editor (original) Post Edit Format if you upload videos from your computer. You can switch back and forth for now between editor formats.
If your video/movie is an original, then upload it to YouTube or another service similar to YouTube like LiveLeak.
Eventually Google will have to make a determination to either add a video icon for uploads or not, but the new Post Editor Format will become the norm with no option.
For long term, if you do not want to create a YouTube like video, then you may have to use another Blog or Social Network that allows video uploads.
See pictures below for further clarification.

Google Blogging Tip # 92: Adding a Social Community to Your Blog or Website

Q) Is there an alternate for Google Friends Connect that I can add to my Blog or Website?

A) I have added The BlogFrog as an additional social community to one of my Google Blogs. Try this as one option, it's easy to install and use. It seems to work well as a supplement to Google Friends Connect. You can have more than one Social Community Network on a Blog or Website.
Click on the LINK to start the installation of The BlogFrog:
The BlogFrog

When you go to The BlogFrog Website you get a page that looks like this.
Just select 'Sign Up.'



Once you click on 'Sign Up' this pop-up window appears. Here add a valid email address, your name (no spaces) - I used 'theblogguy', then create a password (write in down, you will need it later on).
Then just click 'Done.'


Next - you get a new pop-up window that looks like this.
At this Step, you ADD whatever Blog or Website URL Address you want BlogFrog to be installed on.
If you have Twitter and Facebook you can add them as well.
I chose only to use my Google blogspot address: http://blogsiamfollowing.blogspot.com/


Another new pop-up window appears....
When you get here, your almost done setting up BlogFrog. Just continue to the install.


At this step, you may want to use the default codes, you can change these later.
There are two ways to install BlogFrog, I chose the one on the left. I would copy and paste both codes into a word text file so you can opt out of one and replace it with another later if you would like.





Now Copy and Paste the code into your Blog or Website.
For Google Blogs, Follow these steps:
1. Sign-in to your Google Blog.
2. Go to 'Layout.'
3. Select 'Add a Gadget.'
4. Select 'HTML / JavaScript.'
5. Copy and Paste the BlogFrog Code.
6. Save, view your Blog. Then go back to Gadgets and move your BlogFrog Community to the desired location on your Blog sidebar.

For Websites, Copy and Paste the JavaScript Code from BlogFrog and place it where you want your new community to appear on your web page. This goes between the BODY and /BODY.



After you install BlogFrog, and move it to the desired location on your Blog sidebar or within your Website, this is how it will look. You can then invite others to join your community or they cam add you to theirs.


Here is an example of of how it should look on a Google Blog when you are done.
Look at the sidebar, at the bottom of my Blog, Blogs I am Following.
