How do you add pages on Blogspot/Blogger?

good blogger gadgets image

Jacqui

I want to add the gadget addon called "Pages" which gives you a menu of stand-alone pages that a visitor can view.

How do you add and arrange new pages?

Answer
You create a page similar to how you write a blog post. From Blogger click the Posting | Edit Pages tab, then click New Page. (Note: you can create up to 10 pages.)

Once your page is published, you can link to it from the new Pages widget. The Pages widget lets you add links to your pages as tabs at the top of your blog, or as links in your blog's sidebar.

In the Pages widget, you can decide which pages will be linked and in what order they will appear. You can also choose whether you want new pages to appear automatically in the Pages widget by checking or unchecking the box to the left of Add new Pages by default.

Answer
Do you possibly have an empty gadget box above your blog post widget but under your header? If you do, then remove it.

What is the criteria? And what are the steps to take in becoming a gadget/electronics reviewer?

good blogger gadgets image

Ryan

gadget/electronics (i.e. Cellphones, Cameras, Computers, Everyday stuff you would see at best buy.) I'm not looking to just get free stuff I just love new technology I always have to have the latest ant the greatest of everything.... I guess it kind of an addiction.

Answer
there is an urban legend that you get free stuff for writing reviews for publications. it's not true. first of all no reputable publication accepts free merchandise from vendors as that would bias the review to always be "good" so that the merchant would continue buying advertising in the magazine. and if given to the reviewer, that would bias the review to always be "good" so as to keep the freebies coming.

Product reviews are a necessary part of many publications What the ARRL does is purchase the review model and then re-sells it to the membership afterwards. The reviewer gets nothing except for the prestiege for being the first to try a product, and also has to suffer the "cat calls" should he overlook a design fault. to be fair, they do allow the manufacture to respond to problems discovered, and often it means that the model is improved because of the poor review. Other publications contact consumers that have already made a purchase to get reviews. But none offer a free lunch.

It is unlikely that manufacturers would donate products for review by bloggers because the audited distribution of readership would be too small to make it worthwhile. They would expect to get $1000 worth of advertising from giving away a $1000 item, that would require a distribution of 50,000 interested readers.

How can I keep gadgets blogger with new layout?

good blogger gadgets image

blah

how to change my blogger layout, without deleting the gadgets? I just need to find out how to change it to a new one... without deleting the widgets/gadgets? I want to keep all but I want a new layout ? how can I do this? which codes do I need to look for to keep and change? thank you

Answer
It is not possible to automatically keep gadgets when changing to a new template on Blogger. What I usually do to get round this is copy the code in my gadgets to Notepad plus any changes I have made within the template so that it is just a matter of creating a new gadget and copying and pasting the existing code into the new gadget once the new template is installed.

Alternatively you could copy the code within your template but that requires quite a bit of technical knowledge to know what to copy. Basically find any gadgets in your sidebar - look for the widgets below this line <div id='sidebar-wrapper'>. However if you have other gadgets like Adsense for example in the header or body these won't be captured. You would need to find the code for these widgets within the body and header section of your template. This is just as time consuming as the previous method and not as straightforward. The safest method is to systematically copy the codes within each gadget

Is is possible to group together or archive posts in categories in blogger?

Emelia J

Is is possible to group together or archive posts in categories rather than in months or days? I want to make categories for my posts and then be able to visit that category of posts. Is there any possible way of doing it? Maybe I could could group together the tags in my posts? I'm using blogger.

Answer
Do you mean is there a way to show only posts relating to a certain subject automatically? Or by clicking the category? For the second option you can put labels on all your posts by typing them into the Label box when you make a new post (it saves already-used labels).

Then, to display your various categories (labels), go into Settings - Layout - Click "Add a Gadget" - Choose "Labels".

I have a feeling this isn't quite what you were asking; but if you try to further explain, I'll try and change my answer to suit.

How a blogger user can create a new page in his/her blog ?

good blogger gadgets image

Shayan Al.

How a blogger user can create a new aside page that be linked to his/her blog ?

Answer
I had a similar question when I started with Blogger last month. I made an entirely separate Blogger blog - several actually. I wanted to have my articles categorized, and although Labels provide a very basic means of categorization, they don't really make an "aside" page.

Depending on what you need you might be able to get away with just creating an article for this aside page and linking to that article page. If you actually want the aside to be its own blog or even just a static text block in the Blogger template, then you might consider what I did, which was unfortunately a lot of work.

I have my primary blog with "feature articles" and then several mini-blogs with quick tips, news, and such. This is not necessarily recommended because if you use custom templates and widgets it's a lot of work to unify the separate blogs. Also, the standard Blogger search does not work across multiple "mini-blogs."

I had to turn to custom layout modifications to solve those problems. I added a Google search that would search my entire Blogger site and tabs at the top to navigate between the separate sections. If you are unfamiliar with HTML and CSS you could get away with adding a Link List gadget and moving it above your blog content to form a sort of menu.

As icing on the cake, I use my own domain for the blog which allows me to give subdomains to each of the separate blogs (sites.morenp.com, offers.morenp.com, and news.morenp.com). This allowed me to tell the Google search box on my blog to only search morenp.com, which in turn searches all of the entries at once.

The end product works very well - I have added co-bloggers who only have access to one or two sections of the blog, and the primary section remains free of the cluttering smaller articles. I post 1 to 3 mini-blog articles daily so the final product is definitely a success despite the issues.

How do you make a slideshow in the sidebar out of images posted in entries on Blogger?

christinax

Does anyone know how?
I want a slideshow of images from any of my posts to appear all together in a slideshow.
This is on BLOGGER.
Also, you would be an even bigger help if you knew how to make a slideshow out of images from entries with certain labels.
I hope that makes sense.

Answer
The second one....it's still not possible. At least I've never seen such a thing...

But you can do this manually with a "HTML/javascript" gadget from ADD A GADGET.
Use the following code:

<a href="Link to a Post">
<img border="0" src="URL ADDRESS OF HOSTED PIC"/>
</a>

....use more pics in the same gadget....place them one after another..and place some text also.....

Smile!

How does the unboxing the gadgets videos work?

good blogger gadgets image

Pradyumna

I want to know the unboxing gadgets videos' business model and how does it work. Specifically want to know, how do the video makers on youtube channels who do the unboxing of gadgets like iphones, lumia, android phones and tablets etc. 1)Procure the gadget?: Where does the initial money to buy the gadgets come from?; 2) How do they monetize it? I don't see ads on many of their videos; 3) What do they do of the gadgets that they have done with reviewing? Sell them probably?;

Answer
Most of them make no money at all for the person posting the video, but if YouTube gets enough extra site traffic as a result then the poster can get a small amount of money.

Most posters buy the gadgets themselves. Many probably sell them a little later to recoup some money to re-spend on their next gadget, but others are simply collectors who are lucky enough to have a high disposable income. Either way, the poster usually loses a bit of money each time, but almost all hobbies cost money.

A very tiny number of posters get so many followers and upload so many videos that they acquire a reputation as gadget blogger. Those people may be actively cultivated by advertisers and publicists to receive loans of new gadgets or sometimes free samples to review.

To summarise: all but a very few spend their own money to produce those videos and do so solely for the pleasure of it and to satisfy their own egos.
