Adding floating buttons (Facebook, Reddit, Pinterest, Twitter, GPlus) to Blogger

Sometimes, the Blogger provided buttons just don’t work. Here, rather than bother with that, we’ll just make buttons float to the right (though they can also float on the left.

Welcome! Have a read and FAQ yourself

What is the point of this website? What are we trying to accomplish? Do we plan to rule the world and if so, will we be good, googly, or evil? The answer to these and other questions, below.

Adding GreetBox to Blogger

Wordpress blogs have enjoyed for quite a while the GreetBox, a plugin that greets visitors based on their traffic source (referrer). In 2009 ClassicTutorials released an adaptation of that plugin for the Blogger platform hosted on GoogleCode. In this article, we'll be looking at implementing that script with customized messages.

Looking at Vlogging

Spurred by the ROTLD announcement I started considering monetizing my blogs. That means, for most of them, a new look and more frequent posting. I started by looking at a few Romanian blogs and even considered vlogging or video blogging.

Fixing Aspire blog template bug

I’ve been meaning for a while to take a look into a blog template based on Aspire bug (I added a widget section that spans the two shorter ones and it’s moved down). Before doing so, I looked at the only blog that has implemented it successfully.

Is buying followers or likes a good idea?

I've recently heard about a "big blogger" - if not in blogging, definitely in volume - who may have artificially inflated his twitter count with fake followers. Intrigued, I decided to take a look at the business of buying fake followers.

Adding the new +1 button is incredibly simple. And since it serves a clear social / marketing / SEO role, we’re looking at the other options for Blogger or Blogspot blogs as well.

Entrecard – drop it like it’s hot

I've recently looked at Entrecard advertising system as a way to discover interesting blogs and to build a community. Sure, there are other community / promotion tools, but they each have their drawbacks.

Moar Refreshments (mai multe piscoturi)!

The Romanian word “piscoturi”, loosely translated as “refreshments,” has become associated with the meagre price deontology or blogger ethics commands on the online advertising market (i.e., “piscotareala”) in that many are willing to sell not only their blog, but their soul and their mother’s soul for a few cookies and a coffee. Being a writer is a job everybody would love to have, except the writers themselves. Few other jobs (except maybe acting or singing) have as many people trying and so few succeeding. Being a blogger is somewhat less glamorous than being a writer, at least not in the traditional sense of the (former) word, as it combines traits of several other fields, such as IT, publishing, PR, but it still has a strong creative component. In this article, we take a look at the Romanian refreshment (piscot) market.

OSS WLW and quitter bloggers

As blogging is dying, those of us who still cling to this habit are occasionally baited by news we'd like to think will come true, only to be proven otherwise. One such news items suggests that Microsoft might release the source code of Windows Live Writer or WLW.

Labels, tags and categories for multiauthor blogs

We were recently asked a question (http://disq.us/mcsma) about multiple users. Here we state a few rules for asking questions on this site as well as suggestions on where else you might find answers.

Windows Live Writer Portable upgrade

I was prompted today to upgrade my portable install of Windows Live Writer. In case you have not heard about it, WLW is one of the few Windows applications that have no equivalent in the Linux world, causing many to keep Windows virtual machine or windows partition just so they can use it. This being the best blogging editor there is, I thought it's a good idea to share this experience (and much more) with you.
