How to add a "Email me" link on your blog?
Adding the "Email me" link to your blog/webpage is very helpful for the visitors who want to contact you.It increases the interactivity between the visitors and your site and make them come regularly.
Hi Kranthi! I will write the email address directly like abc@gmail.com and ask visitors to contact me.So,why to add these clickable links like"Email me" ?
There are plenty of problems if you show your email address directly on your site as SPAMMERS find your email address easily via search engines,and other sources.
So,by adding this type of links will hide your email address and If your visitors want to contact you,they will click on it.If the visior want to sent to you via another source like yahoo,google,etc they will simply copy the email address(in the outlook express) and email you.
On clicking the links,WINDOWS OUTLOOK EXPRESS will be open by default.
So,how to add the "Email me" link?
There are two types of ways to do it.One is text link and another one is image link.
Text Link:
Suppose,your email id is abc@gmail.com ,here is the code you have to add
| <a href="mailto:abc@gmail.com">Email me </a> |
Don't forget to change the email address in the above code to your's.If you want another anchor text(not "Email me"),you can change it.
Image link:
Suppose,if you want the visitors to email you by clicking on an image like the below one
First you have to upload your picture to some image hosting services.They will give a direct link for the uploaded image.Take a note of it.
In this example, the direct link for the uploaded image is http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc286/7kranthiswaroop/thenvelope.gif and your email address is some abc@gmail.com ,the code you have to add is
| <a href="mailto:abc@gmail.com"><img src="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc286/7kranthiswaroop/thenvelope.gif" alt="Email me" width="120" height="57" border="0" /></a> |

Continue reading »If you don't know what meta tags are, and the importance of adding meta tags, here is the detailed article on how to add them to your blogger(blogspot) blogs or any website.
Adding meta tags is very important if you want to get some good traffic from search engines like google,yahoo,msn,etc,especially the meta description part is the most important one.
If you don't know what meta tags are,Meta tags are the tags which describes your site and tells the search engines what your site is all about. Adding meta tags is an important factor in Organic Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Meta tags allows search engines to index your web pages more accurately. In other words,Meta tags communicate with the search engines and tells more information about your site and make your webpages index correctly and accurately.
Here is an example. This is what I got when I typed 'Blogger Tricks' in the Google Search Engine.
As you can see in the above screenshot, " Blog about Blogger Tips, Blogger Templates, Widgets, hacks, Blogger Tricks,etc. " is the meta tags description which I added to my site.
You have to add two meta tags to the head section of your blogger template. One is the Meta description which describes your site and another one is Meta Keywords which tells about your site keywords(what your site is all about).
Here is how to add meta tags to your blogger(blogspot) blog:
1.Sign in to your blogger dashboard>Select the 'Design' link[see the screenshot below]
2.Click on the 'Edit html' tab
Here is the code you have to add
<meta content='DESCRIPTION HERE' name='description'/>
<meta content='KEYWORDS HERE' name='keywords'/>
<meta content='AUTHOR NAME HERE' name='author'/>
DESCRIPTION HERE:Write your blog description
KEYWORDS:Write the keywords of your blog
AUTHOR NAME:Write the author's name(Your name)
{ UPDATE : }
Now..You don't need to do it manually.. I created an automatic Meta Tags Generator to make this process easy for you!
Just go to this page and Enter some basic information like keywords,description,etc.. It will automatically generate you error free, effective Meta tags. Once done, copy that code and follow the next step.
3.Add the above code just after this [Look at the below screenshot]
<b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>
Don't forget to add description and keywords.
and save the changes.
IMPORTANT:
Many people are just filling the meta description with keywords. DON'T DO THAT. Google and other search engines will ban your site from the search engines list if you repeat your keywords too often. Make sure you don't repeat any keyword more than 3 times.
That's it!You have successfully added the metatags to your blogger(blogpsot) blog.If you want to check whether you added the meta tags correctly or not,just type 'meta tags analyzer tool' in the google and you will find so many sites which can check whether you have added the tags correctly or not.

Adding a favicon to the blogger(blogspot) blog:
For those who don't know what Favicon is 'Favicon is a small icon(image) displayed at the beginning of the address bar of the browser.It is also called Favourite Icon,Pageicon and urlicon.
The main advantage of creating and using favicon is ,it makes it easy to find your blog or site when someone favourited or bookmarked your site/blog among several other sites.
Most of the people use 16*16 pixel favicon(you can also use 32*32 pixel favicon) with ".ico" format.But,you can also use gif,png(image formats) aswell.
So,ready to create a favicon?
Updated:
I created a Free Favicon generator tool which will save lot of your time. Just go to this page and upload any image file (JPG or GIF or PNG or BTM) and it will automatically convert it to icon file and you can save it to your desktop.
Next, you need to upload it to some host. There are lot of free hosts available to host .ico files and with hotlinking enabled.. Just do a quick google search.
Once you upload it to some host. you get a direct url to the favicon file..
Ex:
http://howshealth.com/favicons/bt.ico
Next, Skip the below part and go to Next step..
{SKIP THIS PART- ITS OLD} {start}
All you need is a program to create a favicon in (.ico) format.If you haven't a program to create in .ico format,No Problem....you can also use png or gif format.If you have Photoshop, or any other programs like that,open it and create a 16*16 image and save it as .png or gif format [look at the below screenshot below] or there are so many online sites which can create a favicon for you,just search by typing'free online 16*16 icon generator' in google.They ask you to upload a picture from your desktop,and they convert it into 16*16 .ico file.
So,Now your icon is ready...You are just a few steps away from creating a beautiful favicon for your site...
Now,go to Google Page Creator
and upload your icon file by clicking on the upload link(look at right side) and browse the file and note down the url of the file by clicking on the file.[see the screenshots below]
{SKIP THIS PART- ITS OLD} {end}
Now,go to your blogger dashboard>layout>Edit html[look at the below screenshots]
and look for this code(it is at the top the template)
<title><data:blog.pagetitle/></title>
and add the below code just after the above one[as shown in the below screenshot]<link href='ICON FILE URL' rel='shortcut icon'/>
<link href='ICON FILE URL' rel='icon'/>
and replace the 'ICON FILE URL' with the url of your icon file.(like 
That's it! Now you can see a beautiful favicon in your blog.
Fee free to add the comments.....and doubts(if any?)
Before doing this,let me say what are sitemaps and how they will help us.The reason we use them is,they will help google bot to crawl,index pages of your site and tell you if there are any problems when they try to index it.It also helps you to know,how many pages exactly are indexed,and what people searched in the search engine to visit your site.
Let me explain the detailed procedure on how to submit your blogger sitemap to google.
1.First,go to google webmaster tools and sign in with your gmail account.

Add your blog url(ex:kranthitips.blogspot.com).Don't add with http or www.
3.Next,it asks you to verify your site.It is just to confirm whether you are the owner or not.
CLICK on the 'verify your site' link.
Next,
4.There are two ways to verify your ownership but, there is only one way for the blogger users to add a metatag.
5.Copy the metatag.
Now,sign into your blogger account>click the layout button>Edit html and paste the metatag just after the head tag and save the changes.
and click the verify button in the google webmaster tools and there will be a confirmation message saying that you have sucessfully verified.
Choose 'Add general web sitemap' from the dropdown menu and type rss.xml or atom.xml next to your blog address as shown below
or
and click the 'Add General Web Sitemap' button.6.That's it.Now your sitemap is successfully submitted to google.Check 2 or 3 days after and you will see the detailed statistics of your blog(indexed pages,any errors,etc.)
