How To Make Money With Advertising: Desember 2010

What a month for the updates division!

This is a FIRST in the 11-year history of RHD!

In the month of December, we did 274 updates to our client's web sites. EVERY SINGLE update done in the month of December was done on the same day that the client requested it. And, to even add to the level of customer service, this was done with only 2/3 of our web division working ha ha...since Carole is out on maternity leave.

So many of our clients comment how much they enjoy working with Christa, Jessica and Carole in the web division. These three ladies make it their personal goal to do each and every update with accuracy, speed, and their own personal touch. They take so much pride in doing a good job for our clients.

As you know, we make customer service a priority here. We feel much of our success is the fact that we are top designers, but we do it with a friendly attitude, high level of service, and the "customer is always right mentality."

Watch for more info on our updates report for 2010 and our "guess the updates" contest coming soon.

Add a Comments Counter Button to Blogger Blogspot

In this Blogger tutorial (Blogspot tutorial) you will learn how to add a comments counter button to Blogger (Blogspot) to show off the number of comments each of your posts has received.

A comment counter button (bubble) will have the effect of encouraging visitors to comment on your Blogger blog and also help to highlight the credibility of your articles.

Installing this Blogger hack to add a comment counter button only takes a few minutes. The changes needed to add the comment bubble to Blogger while not difficult do involve adding a small snippet of code to your Blogger template in two places. For this reason I strongly urge you to back up your Blogger template before attempting this blogger hack.

Blogger Tutorial Difficulty - easy to medium

How to Add a Comments Counter Bubble to Blogger
A Step-by-Step Walkthrough
The following steps will insert a fully clickable comments counter button on the same line as the post title in Blogger. The comments counter is right aligned by default.

Log in to Blogger and the blog you wish to apply these changes to
Select Design > Edit HTML
Click on Download Full Template to back up your template before you make any changes
Check the Expand Widget Templates box
In the CSS Styling section of your Blogger template and just before the ]]></b:skin>

padding-top:10px;
}
Now find the following block of code using CTRL key + F

<b:includable id='post' var='post'>
<div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template'>
<a expr:name='data:post.id'/>
<b:if cond='data:post.title'>
<h3 class='post-title entry-title'>
<b:if cond='data:post.link'>
<a expr:href='data:post.link'><data:post.title/></a>
Copy this code block:

<b:if cond='data:post.allowComments'>
<a class='comments-button' expr:href='data:post.addCommentUrl' expr:onclick='data:post.addCommentOnclick'><data:post.numComments/></a>
</b:if>
Insert as follows:

<b:includable id='post' var='post'>
<div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template'>
<a expr:name='data:post.id'/>
<b:if cond='data:post.title'>
<h3 class='post-title entry-title'>
<b:if cond='data:post.allowComments'>
<a class='comments-button' expr:href='data:post.addCommentUrl' expr:onclick='data:post.addCommentOnclick'><data:post.numComments/></a>
</b:if>
<b:if cond='data:post.link'>
<a expr:href='data:post.link'><data:post.title/></a>
Save template and then view blog to admire your new comment counter badge.

Tips and Troubleshooting

If you prefer you can replace the button image I have provided with your own image. You can find other buttons easily enough by doing a Google search with a term like "speech button icons".

Upload your button to a hosting service such as Photobucket and change the URL address of the image in the CSS styling section. The following example will render a smaller blue button. Note I have reduced the font size to accommodate the change. You may need to play around with the settings to get the font sizing right for your image.

.comments-button {
width : 48px;
height : 48px;
background : url(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGjca28lzCdaDgWcn00HTV2Mnw2O7PPcDIdfr7XDz-dytWXq26_-tkusYkhiRu_D6fvReFB89_GkLlkvhAnDhiQ9_F_oZbY9FLzQV0GMw5JQPyZ92tqp3Tf3KI68W_6ZcJPiHIiaL4ynR4/s200/comment-counter-bubble-2.png) no-repeat;
float : right;
font-size : 14px;
margin-top : -15px;
margin-right : 2px;
text-align : center;
padding-top:10px;
}
If you want your comment counter to be left aligned instead of right you will need to change the CSS styling from float:right; to float:left;

In today's Blogger tutorial I have covered how to add a comments counter to a Blogger blog (blogspot blog) that will appear to the right of your blog post title. A comments counter is a way to encourage visitors to comment and is a way of showing off the credibility of your blog posts. Good luck! Any comments about installing this blogger hack are most welcome.

How to Change Bullet Point Style in Blogger (Blogspot) Lists

In Part 1 of this three part series of Blogger tutorials I discuss how to change bullet point styles of lists you may want to include in Blogger posts. This first Blogger tutorial deals with unordered lists and how these can be styled using CSS in Blogger (Blogspot). The second part of these tutorials will deal with ordered lists while part 3 discusses bullet point changes you can make to your sidebar, footer and menus.

Today you will learn how to:

change the style of bullet points in unordered lists
add bullet points to unordered lists if they are absent
add an image instead of a bullet to lists in your Blogger posts

This tutorial is rated easy and is designed so that even Blogger newbies can make the changes they want to their Blogger template. Changing the bullet point style involves changing the CSS styling in your Blogger template (Blogspot template). Join me as I walk you through this step by step guide.

How to Add Bullet Points to a Blogger Post
If you are still using the old Blogger editor you will need to add bullet points manually to any unordered lists you create in Blogger posts. If you are using the new editor the work is done for you. Either way though this is the type of code that generates unordered lists:

<ul><li>Create your own list markers in Blogger</li>
<li>Create unordered lists in Blogger</li>
<li>Create bullet points in Blogger</li>
</ul>

Any text can be placed between the two <li></li> tags. Simply copy this list into a Blogger post and substitute your text for mine and you will have an unordered list.

Circular Bullet Points
Circular bullets (also known as markers or discs) are displayed in Blogger by default whenever unordered lists appear. This means that whenever the <ul></ul> tags are used in Blogger posts a leader dot or disc will appear before each line of text denoted by <li>. (Note I will discuss ordered lists <ol></ol> tags in part two of this tutorial).

An unordered list in a Blogger post using the <ul></ul> tags would appear like this:

Change Bullet Point Style in Blogger
Add Bullets to Blogger
Changing the look of unordered lists in Blogger

We can make lots of changes to the look of these filled discs or filled circles by changing the CSS styling in Blogger. For instance we can have squares, or we can choose to have no bullet point at all. Here's how.

To Add Square Bullet Points to Blogger (Blogspot)
The following code will replace the filled circle bullet points with squares instead:

Login to Blogger if not already logged in
From the Dashboard go to Design >Edit HTML
Back up your template
Find the posts section of your CSS stylesheet which will be before ]]></b:skin> tag
For the following default Blogger templates eg "Simple" add the following CSS code to the post section like this

.post ul li {
list-style: square;
}
Save template and view blog post to see the circular bullet points have been replaced by square ones

To Add Circle Bullet Points to Blogger (Blogspot)
To add unfilled circle list markers or bullet points to Blogger posts do the following:

Follow steps 1-4 as per square bullets
Add the following code to the posts section of the CSS stylesheet of your Blogger template by entering the following code:

.post ul li {
list-style: circle;
}
Save the changes to your template and view a blog post to see the empty circle bullet points

How To Indent Bullet Points in Blogger
There are two ways to increase the indentation of list style markers or bullet points.

Using the Inside or Outside Element
The indentation of bullet points can be varied using the "inside" element. By default the list will be "outside" unless the "inside element" is used. The following code shifts the indentation of the list further to the right.

.post ul li {
list-style: circle inside;
}
Custom Indentation CSS Styling
It is also possible to add custom indentation styling to lists. For instance here I have added a 2.5em indent using the following code to the circles example:

.post ul li {
list-style: circle;
margin-left: 2.5em;
}

How To Replace Bullet Points with an Image in Blogger (Blogspot)
Sometimes you may prefer to have an image list marker or icon instead of a bullet point. You will need to host your image somewhere such as a free image hosting service eg Flickr or Photo Bucket. Follow the steps below to replace bullet points in your Blogger posts with an image

Follow steps 1-4 as per square bullets
In the CSS styling of the posts section of your Blogger template and before the </head> insert the following code:

.post ul li {
list-style: url("http://URLaddressofImage.gif");
}
Replace URLaddressofImage with the URL address of the image you have uploaded to an image hosting service. Note in most cases the file will have a .gif extension. If the extension is anything other than .gif you will need to change this too.
Save the changes to your Blogger template and navigate to a post page to see your image list marker installed

How to Remove the Bullet Points from Blogger Posts
If you are going for a minimalist look you may prefer to have no bullet points in the lists in your Blogger posts. In this case:

Follow steps 1-4 as per square bullets
In the CSS styling of the posts section of your Blogger template and before the </head> insert the following code:

.post ul li {
list-style: none;
}

How to Remove or Change the Blog Title Border in Blogger (Blogspot) - Minima Template

In this Blogger tutorial I discuss how to change the blog title border color or remove the border in a Blogger template (Blogspot template) by changing either the CSS styling of the border manually or by using the Blogger Template Designer feature.

Lots of bloggers have updated their Blogger template to the new default series of Blogger templates for 2010. There are however many of you who are still using the default Minima template from 2006 (and there are lots of good reasons to do so) so this tutorial is for you and anyone else who is using a custom Blogger template based on Minima.

You will learn how to change the border styling around the blog title to suit your individual requirements. You can either change the border color or remove the border altogether. If you want to remove the border around images in Blogger posts (Blogspot posts) then please refer to my Blogger tutorial How to Add, Change or Remove the Border Image in Blogger Posts

Remove or Change the Blog Title Border in Blogger (Blogspot)
There are two simple ways to remove the border around the blog title in Blogger. We are going to hide the border rather than actually remove the code that creates it by making the border color transparent. I will also show you how to change the border color.

Method 1 discusses how to do this using the Blogger Template Designer while Method 2 describes how to change the blog title border manually by changing the code.

Method 1 - Using Blogger Template Designer

Log in to Blogger
From the Dashboard go to Design > Template Designer
Go to Templates > Advanced > Border Color
Choose the down arrow color picker to activate the color palette window
Choose transparent which is below the color palette to remove the border around the blog title completely. You now will see the blog title border disappear. Or choose a new color from the color palette to change the color

Remove Blog Title Border
Change Blog Title Border Color
Click on Apply to Blog to save your changes

Method 2
If the Blogger Template Designer is not working on your template for some reason you can tweak the code in your template to remove the border around the blog title

Log in to Blogger
From the Dashboard go to Design > Edit HTML
Back up your Blogger template
Find the border color variable which will be near the top of the template code
Change the border color value to transparent to remove the border altogether so that your code now looks like this:

<Variable name="bordercolor" description="Border Color"
type="color" default="#ccc" value="transparent">

or change the value to a color of your choice eg

<Variable name="bordercolor" description="Border Color"
type="color" default="#ccc" value="#ff7f00">
Save your template and view your blog to see that the border around the blog title has been removed or changed color

Tips and Troubleshooting
Below are some tips to help you further customize the blog title border width. You can either remove the inner border, thicken the outer border or thicken both borders around the blog title in Blogger.

To change the width of the border around the blog title in Minima change the following:

#header {
margin: 5px;
border: 1px solid $bordercolor;
text-align: center;
color:$pagetitlecolor;
}

to

#header {
margin: 5px;
border: 10px solid $bordercolor;
text-align: center;
color:$pagetitlecolor;
}

This code increases the border width from 1px to 10px
To remove the inner border around the blog title in Minima change the code to the following:

#header {
margin: 5px;
border: 10px solid $bordercolor; (remove this line)
text-align: center;
color:$pagetitlecolor;
}
To increase the width of the outer border around the blog title in Minima change this code

#header-wrapper {
width:660px;
margin:0 auto 10px;
border:10px solid $bordercolor;
}

In this Blogger tutorial you have learned two methods to change the color of the border around a blog title in Blogger blog (Blogspot blog). I have also shown you how to increase the size of the border width. This tutorial applies particularly to the default Blogger template Minima but also is relevant for any blogger using a custom Blogger template based on Minima. Good luck!

November Updates Report

Each month I like to brag on the wonderful ladies in the RHD web division, and this month is no different. We like to keep our clients (and potential clients) informed of our quality of work in web updates to help illustrate the huge commitment we have to providing the best customer service in the business.

In the month of November, our web division handled 414 update request, that's an average of about 20 per day. 95% of all updates were completed on the same day the client requested them. The average turnaround time was 45 minutes. Of the 5% of people that didn't get their update done on the same day, they were done on the very next day, and all of these were all ones sent in over the Thanksgiving holiday when we were closed. So technically, they were done on the very first day we opened back up.

There's a lot of things that help make RHD the best in the business. First of all, our design quality is tops.

Best of the Barns 2010 Awards

We are really excited to announce a new, fun project being produced by RHD....BEST OF THE BARNS! The Best of the Barns Awards is an online contest where YOU get to vote for your favorite products, services, hobbies, and anything else livestock related.

Here's how it works.... Each year we will be hosting the Best of the Barns awards program. This year there are 30 categories ranging from Livestock Friend of the Year to Best Way to Kill Time at the Barn. The questions are tailored to the national livestock show industry, but most of the focus is on cattle and hogs.

For the first year, we determined the categories from a consensus of our expert consultant panel, who helped us create the categories and questions. So, if we missed something, feel free to write it in. For future years, we'll be happy to add any categories or responses that our fans suggest.

So here's how you vote! In the style of modern reality shows, you can vote a few times. First, you can complete the entire survey at once by visiting http://www.bestofthebarns.com/ and clicking on the online survey link. Only one response per computer. We will also have voting going on daily at the RHD facebook page. Each day we will post one of the categories and our fans can "LIKE" the choice they want to vote for.

Voting is open December 1-31. Results will be tabulated and announced in January. The winners in 2010 will receive a winners media kit including logos and other tools to use in their marketing campaigns.

So feel free to share the news with your friends and let's honor those who are the BEST OF THE BARNS in 2010!
