Add Scrollbars to Blog Widgets

2011-10-04T12:20:00.000-07:00

Add Scrollbars to Blog Widgets

This tutorial shows you how to create widgets or boxes with scrollbars. When the contents in the widget exceed a certain specified height or width, there will be a vertical or horizontal scrollbar to enable users to read the contents that overflow or exceed the box area. This scrolling element is especially useful for our Link List or Labels widget which may be very lengthy. It reduces the total height of the widget and yet allows readers the option of scrolling through and viewing the entire content. We shall discuss how to customize the template design to include the scrollbars and the various modifications that can be made to the stylesheet.

The “overflow” style property

Let us first explain what the code is about. We use the “overflow” property to create the scrollbars in CSS or the stylesheet. There are several values that can be assigned to it, although not all are useful for our purposes.

1. overflow:visible

This is the default value. The extra content is either rendered outside the box or the length of the box is extended to include the extra content. Don't bother to use this in Blogger blogs because you will see the contents of the widgets overlapped like this:-

2. overflow:hidden

This will cut off the extra content that overflows and there will be no scrollbar to the box. It doesn't serve our purpose as well.

3. overflow:scroll

The content is clipped but there will be scrollbars at the sides.

4. overflow:auto

We like this attribute. Basically, it tells the browser to display a scrollbar only when necessary i.e., when the content overflows the width and height settings.

Scrollbar in All Widgets

Now that we know what the code does, we can apply it to our template. If we have many widgets in our sidebar, we can specify a fixed height for all the widgets. Carefully planned, our layout can look very neat since all the widgets will have the same height.

Login and go to Template -> Edit HTML. Insert this piece of code. For easy reference, we have added it under the /* Sidebar Content */ :-

/* Sidebar Content */ .sidebar .widget{ height:200px; overflow:auto; }

In our example, we applied a height of 200px to the widgets. This can be changed to other values. Look at both sidebars. Notice the neatness and symmetry. Be careful though if you have AdSense Ads in the sidebars. It is against AdSense TOS to cut off the Ads and put scrollbars to their Ad Units.

Scrollbar in Widgets of One Sidebar

Let us assume for our discussion that you have modified your template to include an additional sidebar using our Three Column Template guides. We may have all the AdSense Ads in one sidebar and we want to add the scrollbars into the widgets of the other sidebar. The style that can be inserted into the template will be this:-

/* Sidebar Content */ #newsidebar .widget{ height:200px; overflow:auto; }

Or this:-

/* Sidebar Content */ #sidebar .widget{ height:200px; overflow:auto; }

depending on which sidebar your widgets are at. Preview the template and if it is what you want, save the Template and refresh your Blog.

Scrollbar in One Widget only

We can add the scrollbar only to one or several of the widgets. To do that, we must first know the ID of the widget. When we are at Template -> Edit HTML, scroll towards the bottom of the template code. You will see something like this:-

In this example, we have added a Link List Page Element into our Sidebar and the ID for this widget is “Linklist1”. If we have more link lists, the IDs will be “Linklist2”, “Linklist3” and so on. Also, we have inserted a HTML/JavaScript Page Element and the ID is “HTML1”. The third widget we added is a Label list and the ID is “Label1”. Look at your template and identify the widget. Take note of the widget ID.

With the ID, we can now add the overflow property into the stylesheet under /* Sidebar Content */:-

/* Sidebar Content */ #Label1{ height:200px; overflow:auto; }

This will add the scroll-bar to the Labels widget only without affecting the other widgets. Insert the relevant ID of your widget into the portion shown in red.

Scrollbar in All Widgets except One

A further variation is to add scrollbars to all the Widgets except one or two. As mentioned earlier, AdSense widgets should not have scrollbars and it might be your intention to have scrollbars in the rest of the widgets.

Follow the guide above to insert scrollbars into all the widgets. After that for the ones that you do not want scrollbars to appear, specify a bigger value for the height:-

/* Sidebar Content */ #AdSense1{ height:600px; }

For example, if your AdSense unit is a 160x600 Vertical Wide Banner, put the height of the widget as 600px. Since the contents fit nicely into this size, the scrollbars should not appear. Change the widget ID accordingly to point to the widget that you want to exclude and adjust the height value.

Scrollbar for Links and Labels

We need scrollbars usually for Label lists and Blogrolls created using Link lists because these are usually lengthy. You may have noticed that using the above codes, the entire widget is included in the scroll. Supposing we want the title to remain static and have a scrollbar only for the links or labels, we can insert a code as follows (remember to enter the relevant ID into the part shown in red):-

/* Sidebar Content */ #LinkList1 ul{ height:200px; overflow:auto; }

Scrollbar for Blog Posts

Should you want the scrollbars for each of your blog posts, scroll to where you see this code and add the portion (shown in red):-

.post { height:200px; overflow:auto; }

Scrollbar for text within Blog Posts

Perhaps you might not want to have scrollbars for all the Blog Posts, but only for a piece of text within a Blog Post. You can follow the steps in this guide to insert scrollbars to text within the post.

Scrollbar for Long Text

If you have a long piece of text like those found in the usual Terms of Service, User Agreements, Rules, Privacy Policy, etc., scrollbars will be very useful in minimizing the text area and yet allowing readers to view the full contents.

Under Template -> Edit HTML, /* Sidebar Content */ , define a class as follows:-

.scrollingtext { height:200px; width:200px; border:0; overflow:auto; }

What we have done is to specify that the text will be contained in a box with scrollbars automatically added if the text overflows the 200px x 200px area. The values of the border, height and width can be changed to suit your needs.

We can now type the text. This text can either appear in a Blog Post, or as an element in the Template. If it is in a Blog Post, after you have typed the TEXT in the Post Editor, switch to “Edit HTML” mode and insert these tags (shown in blue):-

TEXT

The TEXT can be inserted directly into the template via Template -> Page Elements -> Text. Similarly, if you have typed it in the rich editor mode, you can click the “Edit HTML” link at the top right corner and insert the above tags.

After publishing the post or saving the page element, you will be able to see the TEXT within a box and the scrollbars automatically inserted.

Animated banner with Rotating Headlines

2011-10-04T11:39:00.000-07:00

Animated Banner with Rotating Headlines

This article is about creating a nice looking banner that incorporates rotating headlines of your 5 recent Blog articles. If you have submitted your Blog to different Blog Directories, you would come across some which ask for your banner. It is nothing more than a picture to represent your Blog.

Nonetheless, a nicely designed banner can attract more visitors and add a touch of professionalism to your Blog. I am not a graphic designer and I believe you can produce much nicer pictures. There are also GIF animator softwares on the net which will help you create a moving image, blinking text, and so on. What I intend to do here is to share with you alternative ideas on how you can create your own unique animated banner.

Look at this example I made for my other blog. Notice how the titles of the 5 recent posts, taken from the site's feed, are rotated in the banner. Instead of a plain image, the headline animation adds life and attracts readers who want to read...

This is done through a popular feed aggregator service called Feedburner. If you do not have an account with them, go to their main page, type in your Blog URL and follow their instructions to create a free account. Even if you have subscribed to other feed services like Feedblitz, there is no harm having more service providers publicize your Blog for free.

Once you have successfully created an account, you can browse through their services and tools to pick the ones that you like. Here, we shall talk only about their Headline animator. Go to “Publicize” tab and “Headline Animator” to create a new animated banner.

The instructions given by Feedburner are pretty simple to follow. The first thing you need to do is to pick a “theme” which can be their standard black and white backgrounds, or their dynamic and seasonal images. If you merely want to test the outcome, pick any of the schemes. The normal banner size is 468px x 60px and you may want to use this for a start. After that, choose the colors, font size, and position the title, date and headline. Click “Activate” when you are done. They will generate a HTML code for you to copy and paste into your template.

Sample headline from feed

Psst! You can drag title, date and headline to re-arrange on the canvas above!

and save as:

While this may give you a banner that contains the headlines of your posts, it does not give you a unique identity. If you have the time, you should try to create your own banner image. For instance, if you have a nice picture that you like, crop it or resize it to 468px x 60px using a photo editing software. If you don't have one, you may try Google's Picasa or search the net for other free softwares. If possible, leave a clear background somewhere for the date and headline. Save the image in the .gif (not .jpg) format. A background image can look like these.

The image will have to be uploaded onto an image host. There are a number of free hosts available on the net. You can read about using free hosts like Google Page Creator and Google Groups. We have also a rather comprehensive list of free Image Hosts and File Hosting Services in our article on Manage Blogger Image Storage Space. Check out those sites and choose one that is fast, reliable and enables hotlinking to the uploaded files. After uploading the image file, take note of the image URL.

Go back to Feedburner's “Publicize” tab. This time, under the “Theme” select “Provide your own background”. You will be prompted to enter the “Image URL”. Again, you can adjust the positions of the title, date and headline by dragging them to the desired positions. Click “Activate” once you are satisfied with the layout and obtain the generated HTML code.

Log in to your Dashboard, go to Template ->Page Elements -> Add a Page Element and choose “HTML/JavaScript”. Copy the generated HTML code, paste and save. If you want to use this banner for publicizing your Blog in blog directories or advertisements, your new animated banner URL is your Feedburner feed address with a .gif extension. If you are still unsure, the banner URL for this site is:-

http://feeds.feedburner.com/saradaga4friends.gif

The portion in red is my feed address. If I enter the above banner URL-

Add Images or Icons to Sidebar links

2011-10-04T11:31:00.001-07:00

Add Images or Icons to Sidebar links

Sidebars are sometimes crowded with lots of text. There are many ways to make some of the items stand out. In my case, I decided that I will add icons next to the links, to differentiate links from normal text. I will also draw a thin line after each link. To be consistent, the color of these lines shall be the border color.

Note: This is the style we used for our Minima template. Since each type of template has its unique margin, padding and style settings, this guide may not apply to these other templates. You can try to adapt this to your template. Preview the change, and adjust the margins and paddings. Often, a bit of experiment with these values will do the trick. If they still don't look satisfactory, do not save the template.

First, scout around for a picture that you would like to use. In this site, I have used an arrow image. You can use any photo editing software to reduce the image size to about 9px x 9px; I used Google's Photo Editing Software Picasa.

After having an image, upload it onto a free server. You can read about using free hosts like Google Page Creator and Google Groups. We also have a rather comprehensive list of free Image Hosts and File Hosting Services in our article on Manage Blogger Image Storage Space. Check out those sites and choose one that is fast, reliable and enables hotlinking to the uploaded files. Take note of the URL of the Image file.

Go back to “Template” tab and click “Edit HTML”. Scroll to look for the following lines:-

.sidebar ul { list-style:none; margin:0 0 0; padding:0 0 0; } .sidebar li { margin:0; padding:0 0 .25em 15px; text-indent:-15px; line-height:1.5em; }

Replace them with this:-

.sidebar ul { list-style:none; margin:0 0 1.25em; padding:0 0px; } .sidebar ul li { background:url("URL OF IMAGE FILE") no-repeat 2px .25em; margin:0; padding:0 0 3px 16px; margin-bottom:3px; border-bottom:1px dotted $bordercolor; line-height:1.4em; }

Remember to insert the URL OF IMAGE FILE into the code.

If you don't want the line at the bottom of every item, delete the border-bottom code (shown in green) or change the value to 0px.

Preview to see if you like the layout. If it is fine with you, Save the Template.

10 Best key board short cuts for WINDOWS 7

2011-10-03T07:21:00.000-07:00

Working with keyboard shortcuts adds speed and confidence to your work. It also gives you an opportunity to prove yourself as a computer guru in front of novices. Even though there exist keyboard shortcuts for all most all kinds of computer activities, we remember and practice very few of them. In most of the cases, we remain unaware about the very existence of such keyboard shortcuts. Even if we come across some of them, we forget them soon owing to non-practising them regularly. In order to inspire you using keyboard shortcuts, here is a list of 10 awe-inspiring keyboard shortcuts for Windows 7. The shortcuts listed below are unique to Windows 7 and amazing to learn.

1. Shift+Right-Click. It adds new ‘Send to’ options. If you simply right-click on any program icon, you will find ‘Send to’ indicating a number of limited options. However, if you use the keyboard shortcut Shift+Right-Click on a program, you will find presence of expanded options along with the ‘Send to’ menu.

5 BEST TIPS TO SPEED UP YOUR TORRENTS

2011-10-03T07:19:00.000-07:00

I’m quite sure everyone reading this already knows what a torrent is. If you don’t, a quick search on Google for “What is a torrent” will give you the answer, and if you are in a hurry, here’s the short version: a torrent is basically an improved version of Peer-to-Peer, where you copy and share files directly from other users’ computers, instead of a central location like a web or ftp server. There has to be at least one computer dedicated to managing the transfers, called a tracker.

When you want to copy a file from a torrent, the tracker gives you the addresses of all other people that have that file, and manages your upload and download speeds (for example, those who upload at a higher speed, can also download faster, and downloading from the same country is usually also faster). So, you must give/upload as much as possible to get the highest download speed.
For a long time, torrents have been associated with illegal activity and cyber piracy, as the first ones to use them were people who shared movies, music, programs and other copyrighted files. Even now, most of the torrent users are doing this (whether that is good or bad for the copyright holders is another question).
But that is not the only way torrents can be used. Big and small companies are starting to realize that it is much more effective and cheaper to let their users host what they share, instead of keeping it on their servers, which can always go down due to overload or other technical problems (take for example Microsoft’s servers when they released the free test version of Windows Vista and 7, or CrunchyRoll’s frequently-inaccessible online-TV streams).
A few TV companies already started streaming their shows via torrents (although in a bit more complicated setup, which uses advanced copyright protection techniques). The Open Source community has been doing this for a few years now (users download software & operating systems like Ubuntu and OpenSuse via torrents), as they simply don’t have the money for the insane bandwidth they’re using.
So, as you can see, there is a future for torrents, and it’s most probably not going to fade away like P2P. If you are using or planning to use them, here are a few simple but powerful tips to help you get the highest download speed possible. They are a bit technical, so I assume you know your way around a computer (plus, the images should help a lot).

1.   Use local trackers. If your torrent has a tracker in your country, you should use it. Even if your speed is the same whether local or international, a torrent will always download faster from people who are closer to you physically. If you are in Germany and use an US-based tracker, the peers’ information must first go from all around the globe to the US, and then come back to you over trans-continental cables, which will always be slower.
2.   Use tracker aggregators. There are a lot of services that search other torrent sites and gather all torrent trackers in one place, so you get the maximum number of peers possible for a torrent. This of course, will increase your download speed. Some of the best are ScrapeTorrent.com and IsoHunt.com.
3.   Decrease the number of active torrents. You should download/upload no more than 5-10 torrents at the same time (depending on your Internet connection speed; I found the best setting to be equal to your download speed, i.e. if you have an 8Mb/s connection, you should set it to 8, if 5Mb/s then 5, and so on). Too many active torrents will result in too many connections to other peers, which will slow down the total download and upload speed. Here’s how to change the setting in uTorrent (the best torrent client for any operating system, in my opinion):

Go to “Options->Preferences->Queueing” and set the “Maximum number of active torrents (download or upload)” to a number that equals your download speed (see explanation above).
4.   Adjust the number of connections. Adjusting the total number of connections will increase your download speed, but can decrease it in the very rare cases when you download from a lot of peers who have a slow upload speed. This is why you need to find the best setting, not too high, not too low. By default, most torrent clients play it safe and set a low level, which makes torrents start slow and never reach the maximum speed.
I found that setting it according to your download speed gives the best result (and you don’t have to poke in the dark trying to find the best setting). So, for an 8Mb/s connection, you should set the “global maximum number” to 800, “Max number of peers per torrent” to 80 and “Max number of upload slots” to 8 – basically, 100, 10 and 1 for every Mbit you have. This may sound complicated, but it really isn’t. For example, here’s how to do it in uTorrent:

Go to “Options->Preferences->Bandwidth”, notice and set the three values in the “Number of Connections” category.
5.   Set the upload speed to 60-75% of the maximum. This is a very good trick which works miracles. Theoretically, you should be able to upload and download at your maximum speeds, but in reality, if you reach the limit of your upload speed, your download speed goes down considerably. This has been noted by a lot of users all around the globe. Those who are affected are using ADSL modems, so the problem is most probably related to that technology.
If you have a 100Kb/s upload limit (which would amount to about 1Mb/m), you should set the global upload rate to 60-75Kbit/s to get the highest download speed. And if you really care about the other peers, you can set (at least in uTorrent) an alternate, unlimited upload speed to be used when you’re not downloading anything. This would be the best compromise.

To adjust the setting in uTorrent, go to “Options->Preferences->Bandwidth” and set the 2 values for “Global Upload Rate Limiting”. Zero means Unlimited, and I found the Automatic setting to be either too high or too low, so I prefer to do it manually.
That’s about all I can say. If you follow these tips you WILL get the fastest download speed possible. Also, I’d recommend getting uTorrent, it’s free and it’s the best client I’ve ever seen.

How to turn off sticky keys in Windows 7

2011-10-03T07:15:00.000-07:00

Turn Off Sticky Keys in Windows 7
Several new features which are incorporated in Windows 7 which is the new release of Microsoft are:

Windows Media Player.
Windows Media Center.
Windows Gadget Platform.
Sticky Keys.
Windows Search.

When sticky keys are pressed they will lock certain keys.
Some people such as gamers who have a continuous habit of pressing several keys in a row at the same time get tripped up when sticky keys turn on automatically. The main aim behind introducing this feature is to help the people who are suffering from physical disabilities. To turn off sticky keys in Windows 7, you can do it in two ways:
You can make use of the keyboard shortcut to turn it off –

It may happen that you may have turned on sticky keys and activated it, and then you can turn it off quickly by pressing both the SHIFT keys on the keyboard at the same time. This method is called as keyboard shortcut method.

Go to the control panel option and turn it off from there –

You can also deactivate sticky keys via control panel where you have to first click on the start button followed by click on the control panel option.
Then choose the option named “ease of access” followed by change how your keyboard works.
In the window locate where the heading “make it easier to type” is present.
You will find check box beside it, remove check mark from the box present next to the turn on sticky keys”.
If no check mark is present in the check box next to this option, sticky key is not on.
If you want to permanently disable sticky keys, then you must uncheck the box named “turn on sticky keys when shift is pressed five times “.

Window 7 will prevent the sticky keys to turn on automatically in the future.

This will prevent Google chrome to keep DNS info in their cache. Most of time it is unnecessary if you have a good connection of at least 256kbps or more. It is recommended only for slow dial up connection or Mobile users who actually spend a lot f time in DNS query during browsing. to disable this select tools menu of Google Chrome and select “Options.” In the next window, go to the “Advanced” tab and uncheck the “Use DNS preload ….”

Disable anti-phishing filter
If you are advanced web user and you know how a phishing site look like or you know how to prevent from them you can disable this option. But if you are not at all comfortable working without phishing filters or don;t want to take risk you should keep it as it is . Disabling this not only saves your CPU time but also save your Internet bandwidth. This option can also be disabled from Tools Menu > Options > Advanced.
Removes navigational data regularly
All of the browsers cache the Navigation data and other info for faster access to web pages you frequently visit. But if your cache size is big or it contains very old pages which you hardly visit once or twice in a month it will start performing negative for you, as web pages will load faster but they Browsers perform worse when navigation data is saved. So it is important to remove navigational data frequently. To delete this in Chrome, go to Tools menu and choose the option “Remove navigation data” and choose “Delete data for this period” and not the option “All”. So it will remove old data and will keep recent data do this once in a week at least.
Disable Useless function which we don’t use normally –

To options that are mentioned below you need to edit the properties of Chrome shortcut which you are using to start the browser. To Change it, right click on the Chrome icon and choose “Properties.” this will open a windows with the “Shortcut” tab, in this tab there is a box called “Destination”. You have to change things in this box itself.
E.g. To disable Java box,

if you are using Windows Vista it should go like this — : “C:Users\AppDataLocalGoogleChromeApplicationchrome.exe -disable-java”
and if you are using Windows XP: “C:Documents and Settings%username% Local SettingsApplication DataGoogleChrome.exe”

The options which we are adding after the full path of chrome can be used one after the other leaving a space between. You don’t need to write the entire path every time you are using a new options. Here are the option which can be used -
Disable-dev-tools – This will disable Developers tool which is not used by a normal user for sure.
Disable-logging – This will disable looging of browser activity, This log files are useful only in case of Crash or Other error which prevent you from using browsers. if you are experiencing any such problem and need to know the reason you can enable this option. but in general you don’t need these log files. By disabling this you will certainly save CPU RAM and Hard disk space.
Disable-metrics-system – This option will disable gathering of Usage Statistics data. This is used by Google and we don’t need it any how so you can safely disable this option.
Disable-metrics-reporting – If you disabled Metrics system there is no point in keeping Metrics reporting On, as there won’t be any data to send across. Disable it for sure.
Disable-java – Java on the web is rarely used these days and it greatly slow downs your browsers performance. If you not running any online application which uses Java or Java Applets you can safely disable this feature. This will prevent you from playing number of Online Java Games though. (like Yahoo Games)
Disable-java script – This will disable all kinds of JavaScript from being run on the web pages you visit. This is not recommended at all as most of the sites these days are using some kind of JavaScript, to display pages. By Disabling JavaScript you will not be able to see these site properly and they will behave improprly. This is why disabling JavaScript is not recommended.
Disable-plugins – This will disable all plugins including Flash player and other media player. After applying this modification you won’t be able to see a lot of media sites properly including YouTube. If you understand impact of disabling this go ahead and do it otherwise don;t use this option.
Disable-images – This will disable all images on all Webpages you browse, if you are using low bandwidth conection like GPRS or Dial Up it will be very useful for you as it will save a lot of bandwidth for you. This will make your browser an text only browser. So be sure you need it that way before making these changes.
Google has not given much of customization options to it’s chrome users. But Tips mentioned above are quite useful in improving response time of your browser. and some of these are good for saving bandwidth as well.
Well this was all about Optimizing Google chrome but if your entire PC is running slow look at following software recommendation by pchijack team, I am sure you will love them too –

CREATING AFTER THE JUMP SUMMARIES

2011-10-02T07:52:00.000-07:00

Creating 'After the jump' summaries

After the Jump is a feature which lets you create expandable post summaries in your blog posts, so longer posts appear as an intro with a link to Read More
Creating jump breaks in your blog posts can be easily done right from the post editor, without the need for any HTML changes. First, decide where in the post you want to create the jump break, and place your cursor in that position:

Once your mouse cursor is placed at the jump point, simply click the Insert Jump Break toolbar icon:

Clicking the icon will insert a grey bar at the cursor point, illustrating where in the post your break will appear. The bar can be dragged though, so you can always re-position it after insertion.

If you don't use the new post editor, you can still insert a jump break in Edit HTML mode by adding where you want to position the jump break.

Once you are set on the jump break's location within the post, you are ready to publish your post. After publishing, you will notice that the Read More link is placed where you set the jump break:

Blogging Tips and Tricks

2011-10-02T06:42:00.000-07:00

SEO for blogs/blogger and SEO for websites both are different and social elements endorsement into the blogging technology and mostly the blogs are not placed by buying link into any other sites while the websites are more about buying links and also search engines likes the natural links not buying links. SEO for blogs is much better than SEO for websites because by the blogs users find latest and updated information so thats why if you search any query then you could see that most of the blogs will come on to the top pages and search engines gives priority to blogs and search engines index new pages in blogs faster than websites so if you are a blogger/begginer then you should read SEO for begginers as the following.

***Before reading SEO For Blogs I would suggest you never try to use illegal SEO techniques for your blogs, more about this issue read Black Hat SEO To Avoid For Blogs.

      If you are a blogger then you have to be some knowledge about SEO for your blogs. If you want to become a long term blogger.Yes I know content is the king in SEO Technology and I will give our first priority to quality content for SEO for blogs which is the beginner part of SEO but it is not enough for SEO optimization. I have seen many blogger blogs with quality content, have positions in SEO at the bottom of search engines result pages who deserve on the top positions in search engines. They have written good articles but the authors have failed to understand some basic SEO strategy while writing the post which can bring it on the top positions.

    You see my blog is ranked very highly in different search engines for some keywords let's take my mostly used keyword for my niche as "clickable images in blogger" just google it! or take "blogger tips and tricks", "hide gadgets in blogger" and one thing you should know this blog is new and at the writing of this post I did not create more backlinks to my blog. I have done some experiment in SEO optimization and a lot reading from forums, blogs and ask to professionals SEO bloggers and make my own strategy for SEO optimization. So what we utilize for optimizing my blog I will share with our visitors.

   I think a lot of users in the blogging want to know more about SEO Technology and I have realize it. I have published around 35 articles related to blogger tutorials and then I published an article related to SEO and then what? In only one week this SEO article got most traffic than the other existing post. So I realize that users want to know more about SEO for blogs and I have decided that I will try to post our experience of SEO optimization with this blog.

   Basically what I done for this blog for SEO and what will I do in the coming days for SEO and what is my experience about SEO I am writing about it. I would like to say to beginners blogger that never use wrong way to getting top ranking in SEO for blogs because it may be you get top positions for some days but it is not for long term and if you caught by search engines by doing any wrong techniques then you could be banned in search engines. So I highly recommended before knowing SEO for blogs read and avoid the wrong ways of SEO for blogs to getting the top positions in search engines by clicking on Avoid Black Hat SEO Techniques

So when I did think about SEO for my blogs so firstly I have divided it into two parts. One - which is totally depends upon me that is On Page Optimization of blogs and the second - which is also depends to others that is Off page optimization. So read both method to click on it.

On Page SEO Optimization for Blogs
Off Page SEO Optimization for Blogs ( Soon! just after 20 hour)

Mass Spectrometry and Genomic Analysis

* Publisher: Springer
* Number Of Pages: 149
* Publication Date: 2001-10-31
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0792371739
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780792371731
* Binding: Hardcover

Product Description:
The human genome project is set to revolutionise health care and medicine in the near future. The genetic make up of each individual gives clues as to the genetic factors that predispose one to a particular genetic disease. Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), single base changes in the nucleotide DNA sequence of individuals, are thought to be the main cause of genetic variation. By comparing patterns of SNP allele frequencies between disease affected and control populations, disease associated SNPs can be identified and potential disease gene(s) located. These types of study necessitate genotyping of thousands of SNPs which requires the use of powerful, high throughput, systems of analysis. Mass spectrometry is fast becoming the preferred technology for this type of high throughput analysis.
This book contains a collection of descriptions of some of the most outstanding advances in the field of mass spectrometry from which, I hope, the reader will be able to learn both the principles and the most up to date methods for its use in genomic analysis. It covers the general principles of the technologies and more in depth detailed descriptions for more academic reading and information.
Audience: Whether you are a student, a post-doctoral researcher or experienced MS user, this book will be a stimulating addition to the analytical arena of mass spectrometry and genomic analysis.
