Writing HTML Code on your Article

Hi. This is a very simple tips but it's very usefull to apply. Well, if you have a blog about computer/ internet like mine, you must be ever write an article that enclosed a HTML or JavaScript code. But, unfortunately when you post it, your written code doesnt appear as you want. Oppositely, it appears as a gadget/ preview that has been translated to HTML language. Don't worry, because here I will give you a nice trick to avoid it. Here they are...


For example, you want to make an article titled "How to Add Clock Gadget on Blog". Then, of course in your article, you'll enclose the HTML/ JavaScript code that should be copied by your reader. But, when you agree to publish it, you'll see that your code has changed into the real gadget (in here is clock gadget). So, the reader won't be able to follow your tips, isnt it..??

This simple thing should be mentioned by some blogger. Because of that, here i have some trick to enabling visitor's HTML copy-paste. They are:


1. Using http://centricle.com/tools/html-entities/

This site can change (encode) your HTML code into other code that can be appeared as text in your post.

Firstly, go to http://centricle.com/tools/html-entities/
Then, you'll get the following preview:


In there, copy and paste your HTML code into the field. Then, click Encode.
After that, copy and paste the code into your post. Finished.

2. Using text area.

Text area is used for putting some text, include HTML code, so that it will be in different place and will be able to be copied by your article readers.
To make Text Area is very easy. Just copy and paste the following code:

<div><form name="copy"><div align="center"><input onclick="javascript:this.form.txt.focus();this.form.txt.select();" type="button" value="Highlight All"> </div><div align="center"></div><p align="center"><textarea style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 144px" name="txt" rows="100" wrap="VIRTUAL" cols="55">YOUR_HTML_CODE</textarea></p></div></form>

Then, change the text: YOUR_HTML_CODE , with your HTML code.
To change the width and height, just set the number on: "WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 144px"

Then, publish your post.


Finally, just try one of the trick above. I have used those way to show HTML code in my article and it works. :)

P.S: If you have another better way, please give some comments below.

AND...NOW, I KNOW...!!!

Complete Tips about How to Increase your Blog Traffic

Wanna your blog/ website becomes popular and get many visitors...??? Well, you need to read this article completely and apply it. I'm sure that your blog will be visited by many people. Check my tips here...


How to increase your blog traffic until can reach 1000 visitors in a day?

Wow, that is the dream of all bloggers and website owners in this world...!!! (Include me...) :p
Then, how is the way? Indeed, many ways to increase blog traffic or reproduce our blog visitors. One of them that is very important is as you need a lot of article and regularly make a post, a lot of hanging out, blog-walking, and signing up to social bookmarking, continue to build internal links and external links.

How to get a 1,000,000 or hundreds visitors in a day is not an instant thing. But, if you have a strong want, it won't be so difficult. Here are my tips to increase your blog traffic:

1. You must have a lot of articles on your blog. You can see some succes blogs that have high traffic/ visitors. Why? Because they've got a lot of articles, until it reaches above 300, 400, and 500 articles. So add your articles continuously, because the quantity is also important. If you can't produce qualified articles (made by yourself), you may do all the copy-paste. But remember, you should keep the posts with it's own sentence, don't outright copy-and-paste from an article which is made by someone else.

Tips for a true blog post:
If you do not have an idea to arrange an article/ post, just see the article of others. Then, arrange it by your own sentence. So it will be not trully caught that you do copy-paste and it's not detected as duplicate content by Google. But if the idea is from the other people, you need to enclose the source. Respect the owner, OK?

2. Socialize by doing Blog-walking. Don't be lazy blogger if you want to have a lot of visitors. You must often go around, greet other bloggers and comment on their blog. Do this everyday if you can. Many bloggers that high traffic is not due to Google's donation, but because they were diligent to do Blog-walking.



Blogwalking Tips: Make a list of blogs that you visit, so it will be easy to visit again. Or you can use your blog link exchange box. Enter a list of friends - friends who are often active blogs blogwalking and to be able to reply to your blog. Example of mine: http://nandafirstboy.blogspot.com/2010/07/friends-blog_22.html

3. Submit your blog address to blog directories. Here I provide a list of blog directories whose the process is very easy, and most of them straight to approve our blog just in a minutes. They are:

Social bookmarking submit tips: Please submit to 12 social bookmarking above for EACH new articles you publish, the benefits is for your new article quickly will be indexed by Google search engine and get traffic. Imagine if a blog article you have the 12 backlinks from Social Bookmarks, so if you have 100 articles on your blog, then it's got 1200 backlinks. Wow...!! It's cool, right?

5. Build internal links. While writing a post, I recommend you to build internal links. Internal links build links that lead to your postings to another. So, if you write an article about "How to Increase your Blog Traffic", put in your link of your related blog article in your sentences.

Benefits:
1. If your post has not been indexed or missing from Google, it can be indexed again in this way
2. And also the post gets a free link.
3. Giving info to the readers that such posts exist.


Then, my other tips are:

* Submit to the article submission, I suggest: Goarticle.com and Qassia.com because the process is super easy.
* Create dummi blog, if it can be as much as possible. And enter your blog address there also it's feed.
* It's better to oftenwrite a hot topics, such as Hot-News in your country. Also make it become controversial. This is also an effective way to bring your blog traffic.
* And if you have more budget, buy a link and buy reviews.
* Create a review for other bloggers and call the link when you write blog posts, to make friendship with them. You'll get a reply for review, more over if your friend's blog has lots of visitors. It will be very profitable.
* Be a blogger who accommodating and friendly and even better making your ownself as an asking place.l
* Learn to write well and communicativey, because blogging is a writing activity.
* Be a blogger who is sensitive to social conditions, if there are any issues that occur both on the internet and in the real world, then please join or post a comment for it, but in a wise and clever way. It is good to attract the masses.
* Don't be a blogger who knowingly and quasi-good, if it's found out that you are bad blogger, it will be dangerous for your image. Your name and your blog will be bad too.
* Submit your blog as well to social networking website, such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. Also submit to the 2 that dofollow social network, they are:
1. www.zimbio.com (example: http://www.zimbio.com/account/articles)
2. www.squidoo.com (example: squidoo)


After all of 16 tips above, all I recommend to you is these points:

1. Adding more article
2. Submitting each article to social bookmarking
3. Blog-walking


But if you do everything, the result will be much better.
