      Pages are a key way to highlight important information pages on your blog and are not published in the blog timeline. 
WordPress has a default feature of creating pages and was a great debate to choose between wp and blogger , similarly other blogging platforms , and Blogger was lacking in this essential feature for a long time.

Adding Breadcrumb Navigation to Blogger

                 Many forums have breadcrumb which lets you navigate from one label to another , similarly even wordpress has plugins for that one , its even possible in blogger [ blogspot blogs ] by tweaking blogger template which is one of the best blogger hacks and recommended for all . However , on the main page of my Blog there is no breadcrumb, because that is Home but as soon as you click on a particular blog post or on a label or an archive entry, you will see how the breadcrumb will be automatically visible on top of the page :
Browse » Home » Tutorials » Adding Breadcrumb Navigation to Blogger
Below is a step by step walk through which I have aimed at beginners so that anyone reading my blog will be able to follow the instructions , so here is an easy piece of code to add breadcrumbs !
Step 1:      Save your template by going to the Layout tab, and click Edit HTML.
Download your template as an XML-file and save it on your PC . If anything goes wrong, upload it again and your blog style will be same , no damage to blog posts will occur just there can be messing up of widgets and abnormal design can occur mistakenly !

Step 2:
       Expand the widget template

Step 3:
         Scroll down through your expanded widget code and look for this code :

<b:includable id='main' var='top'>
<!-- posts -->
<div class='blog-posts hfeed'>

<b:include data='top' name='status-message'/>

<data:adStart/>


Step 4 :
Now our job is very simple , just replace the gap with below code , it should look like this

<b:includable id='main' var='top'>
<!-- posts -->
<div class='blog-posts hfeed'>
<!-- disable default status message
<b:include data='top' name='status-message'/>
default status message disabled -->
<b:include data='posts' name='breadcrumb'/>
<data:adStart/>

You have to add the RED code in between gaps on 3rd step !

Step 5 :
Now , Immediately search for <b:includable id='main' var='top'>
and add this code above it !

<b:includable id='breadcrumb' var='posts'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.homepageUrl == data:blog.url'>
<!-- No breadcrumb on front page -->
<b:else/>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
<div class='breadcrumbs'>
Browse &#187;  <a expr:href='data:blog.homepageUrl' rel='tag'>Home</a>
<b:loop values='data:posts' var='post'>
<b:if cond='data:post.labels'>
<b:loop values='data:post.labels' var='label'>
<b:if cond='data:label.isLast == &quot;true&quot;'> &#187;
<a expr:href='data:label.url' rel='tag'><data:label.name/></a>
</b:if>
</b:loop>
&#187; <span><data:post.title/></span>
</b:if>
</b:loop>
</div>
<b:else/>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;archive&quot;'>
<div class='breadcrumbs'>
Browse &#187; <a expr:href='data:blog.homepageUrl'>Home</a> &#187; Archives for <data:blog.pageName/>
</div>
<b:else/>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;index&quot;'>
<div class='breadcrumbs'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageName == &quot;&quot;'>
Browse &#187; <a expr:href='data:blog.homepageUrl'>Home</a> &#187; All posts
<b:else/>
Browse &#187; <a expr:href='data:blog.homepageUrl'>Home</a> &#187; Posts filed under <data:blog.pageName/>
</b:if>
</div>
</b:if>
</b:if>
</b:if>
</b:if>
</b:includable>
<b:includable id='main' var='top'>

Step 5 : 
Its better to add CSS to the skin 
Search for  ]]></b:skin>

and add this code above  it


<b:skin><![CDATA[/*

....

.breadcrumbs {
  float: left;
  width: 590px;
  font-size: 11px;
  margin: 5px 10px 20px 10px;
  padding: 0px 0px 3px 0px;
  border-bottom: double #EAEAEA;
}

....

]]></b:skin>


Step 6 :
Your job is over , don't ever forget to SAVE YOUR TEMPLATE !

SEO Benefits of a Breadcrumb :
        Anchor text such as labels tells search engines about the subject of the linked page and thus its very helpful in optimizing SEO. Search engines view a breadcrumb with a text link to relevant keywords in the post as important. Apart from improving the navigation of your blog adding a breadcrumb has many cool uses , hence its better and recommended for bloggers to add and improve navigation of a Blogger Blogspot blog by adding breadcrumb navigation as  Google treat anchor text links as important.
So it really helps ! Also , A breadcrumb displays the visitor's location within a blog. The advantage of a breadcrumb is that it provides shortcuts to enable visitors to quickly get around your blog by jumping from one part of your blog to another.

Disable Right Click copy on Blogger

                             You must have surely noticed , that some most of the blogs/sites do not allow their visitors to select posts or copy using right mouse click while pointer is on content. Right clicking after selecting pops with many option like copy , paste ,cut etc and  on any browser its very useful tool but some people use this in very bad way and simply copy-paste whole article without changing words or even without giving credits or backlinks to the original author , and if you want to too protect your blog from copycats then , you may surely want to make click right disabled on yourblog  to protect you text, images hotlinking etc .
So , this post explains how to disable right click on blogger (blogspot blog) or any other webpage using a html or javascript code :

          To setup this tool in your blog arrowDownload this notepad file
and
Sign in to your blogger dashboad > layout > Add a Page element > html/javascript
and simply paste da code and Save

              Its not a fact anymore that , most people visit your site to read information and more than that percentage of people come to your site to steal your work , images ,etc. By using this cool Javascript , it will be very useful for the site and blog owners to minimize the possibilities of the content direct copying to other posts but there are still some ways to beat this hack , which very few people know about it twisted
But still , If you want to protect your images  you can add a Watermark(logo) of your sitename but theres nothing we can do about blog post neutral
Now check your blog after adding and saving Template , you wont be able to select content , just links !
And when you select all with CONTROL + A and then copy and paste , the thing pasted will be just links , archive titles and not full blog posts or images ,
Enjoy biggrin

Optimise page title for search engines

       Its better to Optimize page title as title plays a vital role for high search engine rankings . By default there are only few limited boring templates for blogspot users and your Blogger Blogspot blog does not have search engine optimised title tags. So if you are using same template then , this can put your blog to lower rankings even if you have rich content compared to other blogs that have inbuilt SEO blogging platforms like Wordpress , Joomla etc as these are likely to be placed more highly in search engine results.
                  The title tags of your blog are ordered by blog name first followed by the title of the post. Search engines like Google and Yahoo gives more importance to the first words of a title blog post . Heres how to tweak blogger template to optimize blog posts titles in search engines :

Go to Blogger >> Layout >> Edit HTML
Put a tick on Expand Widget Templates check box and search for the following code
    <title><data:blog.title/></title>

Replace this code with the following code
    <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
    <title><data:blog.pageName/> |<data:blog.title/></title>
    <b:else/>
    <title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title> </b:if>
         Save your template.Thus through a simple tweak to your template , this will rectify this problem by simply reversing the position of the blog name and page title significant and good rankings can be gained in search engine results.
        If all your site pages are indexed by Google then if you google any specific blog post then this will be the manner of the result. Navigate to an individual post. You will see that your page title is now first followed by your blog title. A pipe symbol separates the two .
Note the order of the tags:
Blog Name | Post Name

Yahoo MEME : Newly launched Micro Blogging Website


Yahoo has silently launched Yahoo Meme neutral which is a Twitter like micro blogging website with more or less additional features.
Yahoo had quietly launched its microblogging product Yahoo Meme eek , in Spanish also previously launched a Portuguese language micro-blogging product, Yahoo Meme, that drew similarities to Twitter and Tumblr .rolleyes

A “meme” is commonly known in the web as some kind of content that spreads fast and draws everyone’s attention.
Yahoo MEME offers you a clean looking Interface like Twitter but comes along with few additional features which Twitter fans have always been looking for.

Quick Features :
  • Things have to be quick , easy and simple to do
  • You should be able to share whatever kind of content you publish or find in the web
  • Your posts should get around without you having to be a part of any specific social network
  • You keep the credit for your discoveries and creations
  • You should easily find what’s drawing everyone else’s attention
Like Twitter and Tumblr, you can
search other people’s public accounts
and
follow
them, with updates from these users appearing in your stream.
You can also ‘Repost’ anyone’s entry, similar to the ‘Reblog’ feature that’s integrated into Tumblr.
All you can add to your blog – apart from the content – is a title, a 100-character description and an avatar. You can also create a comment thread underneath the content you post, which was a feature that was missing when we reviewed Yahoo Meme previously.

Yahoo also recently launched Yahoo Know Your Mojo, a site that claims to tell you what kind of “social mojo” you possess by analyzing your Tweets, but actually it just shows big ugly filthy worse pipeline moving which looks that it will never stop which displays something which i didnt got !
Yahoo hasn’t had the luck even with social networks recently, with its Indian social network, SpotM, shutting its doors shortly after its launch ,closing of yahoo 360 and yahoo briefcase !

  • Yahoo meme seems to be a strong new rival twisted to twitter in future because of its Image , videomp3features.
  • In MeMe you will get 2000 character to share but in twitter you will get only 20 character.
  • Meme is a micro blogging start up from Yahoo which is in alpha phase and people can register on the basis of invitation only sad
  • But if anyone has already an account , they can invite upto 7 email idz !
To create account in Yahoo Meme ,
just go to http://meme.yahoo.com/home/ in this page you will see the option “i want in” in the enter your email id they will send invitation mail within 2 days !



Update :
Now this service is not invite based , everyone can register ! :D

You can see an example of yahoo meme profile page : Yahoo meme profile page
and Follow me , i will too follow back ! razz
even on twitter : @ajinkyaforyou

It was nothing surprising that Yahoo closed Yahoo 360 ,a social networking site , on 13th july ,and that too didn't create any buzz due to inflammability ;)
