How to Add a Twitter Tweet Button to Your Posts

2011-10-28T21:27:00.000-05:00

When you add a Twitter "Tweet" button to your post, your visitors can easily share your post on their Twitter wall with just a click. It's also a quick and easy way for you to Tweet your own posts. You can add a Tweet button below your Post Title, below the Post, or both. Just follow these instructions. (Even though these instructions are written using Blogger's New Interface, they are still appropriate for the old interface except possibly in the navigation.)

From your Dashboard click on Template from the drop-down menu as shown in the image below. (You can click on the image to enlarge it if you need to.)

From the Template screen, click on the HTML button. A window will open up with some cautionary information. Click Proceed. Don't worry you won't mess anything up. :)

In the EDIT HTML screen, check the box that says Expand Widget Templates.

If you want the Tweet button to appear below the Post Title, find the code that looks like this (or very similar to it):

If you want the Tweet button to appear at the foot of the Post, find the code that looks like this (or very similar to it):
<div class='post-footer'>

The easiest way to find the code is to hold down the CTRL key on your keyboard and press the letter F. A search box will open where you can enter the code you are looking for and it will take you right there in the HTML section.

Once you have located the code, copy the following code and paste it directly below the code above. Be careful to copy all of the code exactly as it appears below. Change the words in blue text to your Twitter User Name. (If you have previously added a Facebook LIKE button using my tutorial, then you can post this code below the code for the Facebook LIKE button.)


<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "static_page"'>
<div style='text-align:left;padding:5px 5px 5px 0;'>
<a class='twitter-share-button' data-count='horizontal' data-related='' data-via='RichGifts' expr:data-text='data:post.title' expr:data-url='data:post.url' href='http://twitter.com/share'>Tweet</a>
<script src='http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js' type='text/javascript'/>
</div>
</b:if>


The pasted code will look like this. The green code is what you look for, the red code is what you paste.

<div class='post-header-line-1'/>


<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "static_page"'>
<div style='text-align:left;padding:5px 5px 5px 0;'>
<a class='twitter-share-button' data-count='horizontal' data-related='' data-via='RichGifts' expr:data-text='data:post.title' expr:data-url='data:post.url' href='http://twitter.com/share'>Tweet</a>
<script src='http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js' type='text/javascript'/>
</div>
</b:if>


Now click the Preview button located just below the HTML field box. Your preview should show the facebook Like button in the appropriate place. If it isn't right just click the Cancel button below the HTML field box and try again. If it is as you want it, click the Save Template button.

The Tweet button will automatically appear on every post.

Now click the Tweet button on this post and share it with your friends.

If you are having trouble or just don't want to do it yourself, I can do this for you for $5.00. Just use the Payment Button in my sidebar and specify what it is for. Be sure to provide me with an active email address to contact you. I will need access to your Blogger Admin to install the code.

Thank you to Karla at Empowering Christian Women for requesting this tutorial.

How to Setup a Navigation Menu Bar in Blogger's New Interface

2011-10-15T16:20:00.000-05:00

You can organize your blog so that your visitors can find specific content more easily by creating a Navigation Menu Bar. Maybe you want to add an About Me page, organize your Bible Studies in one place, or link to your website. I have written this tutorial to help you accomplish this.

If you're not using Blogger's new interface these instructions should still help you but the visual will be different. If you don't know about Blogger's new interface you can read about it on this post.

Creating a Navigation Menu is done in two Parts. Click on any image to enlarge it.

Part 1

1. Go to your Dashboard and on the right side of your blog name, click the drop-down arrow to reveal your admin navigation and select Layout.

2. Click "Add a Gadget" from the gadget located below your Header and above your posts.

3. Select the gadget labeled "Pages" and save it.

Part 2

1. Click on "Pages" in the left navigation bar of your interface.

2. Where it says "Show Pages As" click on the dropdown arrow to select where you want your navigation menu to appear. Your options are horizontal across the top, vertical in your sidebar, or not at all (if you want to remove it later).

3. Now select the drop-down arrow next to the "New Page" box. You can select "Blank Page" which will add a blank new page to your blog, or "Web Address" which will allow you to link to a page on another site. Home is automatically added to your navigation menu and points to the first page of your blog so you don't need to create a Home page.

Blank Page - When you select "Blank Page" a text editor opens up where you can write and publish your page content just like when you create a new post.

    a. Enter your Page Title in the field box at the top. It's a good idea to keep the Page Title short, one or two words is best since this will appear in the navigation menu.

    b. Write your page content in the text editor.

    c. Click "Publish". When you publish your page, it will not appear on your Home page but will appear on a separate page instead. This gives your blog the feel of a website and not just a blog.

Web Address - When you select "Web Address" a window will open with two field boxes.

    a. Enter your title in the first field box.
    b. In the second field box enter the url (website address) to the page you want to link to.
    c. Click "Save"

4. After you have added your Pages they will appear in the Pages section of your interface where you can choose to edit or delete them, or revert the "pages" to draft.

That's it! Your Navigation Menu bar should now appear on your blog.

How to Add a Facebook Like Button to Your Post

2011-09-23T19:52:00.000-05:00

The facebook Like button replaces the previous facebook Share button. When you add it to your post, your visitors can easily share your post on their facebook wall with just a click. You can add a facebook Like button below your Post Title, below the Post, or both. Just follow these instructions. (Even though these instructions are written using Blogger's New Interface, they are still appropriate for the old interface except possibly in the navigation.)

From your Dashboard click on Template from the drop-down menu as shown in the image below. (You can click on the image to enlarge it if you need to.)

If you want the Like button to appear below the Post Title, find the code that looks like this (or very similar to it):

If you want the Like button to appear at the foot of the Post, find the code that looks like this (or very similar to it):
<div class='post-footer'>

Once you have located the code, copy the following code and paste it directly below the code above. Be careful to copy all of code exactly as it appears below.

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "static_page"'>
<iframe allowTransparency='true' expr:src='"http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=" + data:post.url + "&send=false&layout=standard&show_faces=false&width=450&action=like&font=arial&colorscheme=light&height=35"' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:35px;'/>
</b:if>

The pasted code will look like this. The green code is what you look for, the red code is what you paste.

<div class='post-header-line-1'/>

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "static_page"'>
<iframe allowTransparency='true' expr:src='"http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=" + data:post.url + "&send=false&layout=standard&show_faces=false&width=450&action=like&font=arial&colorscheme=light&height=35"' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:35px;'/>
</b:if>

Now click the Preview button located just below the HTML field box. Your preview should show the facebook Like button in the appropriate place. If it isn't right just click the Cancel button below the HTML field box and try again. If it is as you want it, click the Save Template button.

Blogger's New Interface - Dashboard

2011-09-14T00:37:00.000-05:00

Have you seen Blogger's new interface? If you don't know what I'm talking about then you probably haven't seen it. Some of you have probably been using it for a while in "Blogger in Draft".

Now when you sign in to your blogger account and go to your Dashboard, in the upper right corner there is a link that says "Use the New Interface". When you click on it you are immediately taken into a whole new look and possibly a whole new level of confusion. :) Don't worry, it's every bit as easy as the old interface. But if the confusion is too much to handle all in one sitting, you can click on the link that says "Switch Back to the Old Interface" and you will be taken back to your familiar safe place.

Eventually Blogger will push everyone out of the nest so I'm going to do what I can to teach you how to fly now. So if you've decided to brave it, when you first enter the new Dashboard this is what you see. You can click the image to enlarge it.

This is your new Dashboard.

Column 1 lists all of your blogs by name and provides some basic statistics.
If you want to write a new post then click on the pencil image in column 2.
Column 3 offers a drop-down menu with your navigation options.
Column 4 offers a button that will take you to your blog as it is viewed by your guests.
If you have any hidden blogs you can see those by clicking on the "View More" link at the bottom of column 1.
Underneath your list of blogs, where it says "Reading List" is a listing of the blogs you follow and their latest posts.

I will be reviewing all of the settings and options to help you familiarize yourself with the new interface.

How to Use PDF Documents on Blogger - Webs.com Option

2011-09-01T23:17:00.001-05:00

In my previous post I introduced you to DropBox, a public resource for storing documents that you can link to from your blog. Today I want to show you another option, Webs.com. I told you about Webs.com in this article and how you can use it to grow your blog ministry without having to move your blog. One great way you can use Webs.com is to privately store your PDF and other documents for you to use as you like on your blog.

Webs.com is a free website. You can just follow the link to sign-up. The free website does have some limitations, it is free after all. :) I think it may take about a week before you have access to upload files. Not sure about that. I've been using mine for so long I don't remember.

On to the tutorial.

1. When you sign in to your webs.com account it will take you to your Dashboard.

2. On the left there will be a section labeled SITES I'VE CREATED (you can have multiple websites). Click on the VIEW CONTROL PANEL button under your site name.

(Click Image to Enlarge)

3. Click MANAGE PAGES & APPS.

(Click Image to Enlarge)

4. Click FILE MANAGER.

(Click Image to Enlarge)

5. In this section you can create folders to organize your files. You can upload images, documents, and media such as videos. Select the folder you want to store your documents in (or make a NEW FOLDER).

(Click Image to Enlarge)

6. Click SINGLE FILE UPLOADER. (You would need to upgrade your account to use the Multi File Uploader.)

7. Click BROWSE to locate the file you want to upload.

8. Click UPLOAD FILE.

(Click Image to Enlarge)

9. Now you can just click on the file and it will open your PDF in a new tab.

10. Copy the URL (website address) and link it into your blog post or sidebar. Where ever you want your visitors to access it.

If you don't want to wait a week to upload your pdf files, you can gain immediate access by upgrading your webs.com account. Upgrades begin at only $3.75 a month.

What I love about using webs.com is that my files are stored on my own private site and I have access to them anytime I want.

I don't have to install a 3rd party software on my computer and nothing in remotely accessing my computer.

Also, as I've mentioned before, using webs.com provides opportunity to expand my ministry beyond just a blog.
