How to Use Static Pages

Professional looking blog is always an ambition of a newbie blogger. As a newbie blogger  you should utilize static pages.  Before when I make my About, Contact, Privacy Policy, Disclaimer and Search Result Page, I used to treat them as post not as page. So when I make a sitemap in my blog, those documents appeared as one of my posts published. And that looks very unprofessional so I made another research  with  other professional blogs and I had found that  they are using pages with the items I’ve mentioned above. Today, I will share to you simple steps in making pages of your blog. Please follow the steps below.

Step 1. Go to Blogger Dashboard >> Click Pages (not post)

How to Apply for Google Adsense and Get Approved ( A Newbie Must Follow)

Adsense is the number one advertising company across the internet. For this reason many bloggers want to be their ads publisher but the the problem is it is not as easy as what others are thinking. In order to win the heart of the Adsense team who will manually evaluate you and your blog you should follow some basic rules.
Below, I will share to you the ten (10 ) basic tips/rules which I have used when I applied for an adsense publisher.
how to make adsense approve


Publish Quality and Original Content


As per experienced as a newbie blogger, it is quiet hard to make such kind of content. You don’t know how start and end a certain post. But as a newbie blogger you should spend a lot of time in conducting a research studies in the web in order to power your self with the necessary informations. As time passes, you could accumulate many useful informations that are essentials to make such content that are rich in quality.

Age Matters


Entering business online requires a specific legal age which is 18 years old and above, so if you are not yet on this particular age bracket you better not to try because 100% you will not be approved.

Your blog age is an important aspect as well. In Asia like China and India, it requires for around six (6) months in order to get approved with adsense. Furthermore, six (6) months with 50 to 70 quality posts. But in order to double the chance of getting approved, much better if you apply with 100 -120 quality posts.

Use Accurate Informations in Filling the Adsense Application Form


Be true in putting your data in the said form like your name,  complete address, contact number and the like.

Copyrighted content must be avoided  especially if it doesn’t contain any attribution link from the source.


This is another thing which a newbie must face for duplicated content is NOT  SEO friendly.
Adsense  team hates those sites who copy other content and publish it in  their blogs. This is a ground for disapproval. Much better to make our own post and be original in our writing styles.

Be sure to have at least 30 well written  posts from your and  use SEO friendly words. Don't use idiomatic expressions in stressing your ideas be always natural in your mode.

Don’t link your site to any pornographic or  liquor, smoke, gambling or any adult content sites.


This is an important thing also for adsense restricts the placement of ads on gambling sites  and pornographic content. See adsense policies here.

Well Constructed Pages like About, Privacy Policy and Disclaimer.


You may use the links for help in constructing your Privacy Policy and Disclaimer Page.

Sufficient Blog Traffic


There is no specific blog traffic required by Google adsense in order for them to approve your application but as a personal advice, see to it that you’re blog is receiving 200 - 250 visitors a day.
Your store will be useless if nobody visits and buy goods from it.

Avoid Autogenerated Content


Those type of contents which are crawled  by robots from other sites and indexed it in you blog. This type of technique is unfair to other bloggers who spent many hours just to polish one (1) post in a day.

Custom Domain


Applying for adsense without custom domain name is also a ground for disapproval from Google adsense. You have to use top level domain like .com .org .net. Don’t apply for Google adsense if you have sub domain name like .blogspot.com. But as  an experienced, if you want to apply for adsense on sub domain name then you have MUST publish NEW CONTENTS in your blog .

Pray to God


Irregardless of what is your religion, ask God for help! I think this the best tip from all tips that I have read, wrote and used so far.

After reading this post try to assess your blog if  the above tips are being applied or used then try another shot to apply to Google Adsense.
Hope you make it NOW pal!

Horizontal Drop Down Menu With Sub-Tabs In Two Columns In Blogger

A drop down menu  can be observed in many blogs but if you make it it in an outstanding way your blog is in the spotlight from the rest of other blogs throughout the web. In this tutorial I will share to you a special type of dropdown down menu which I have learned from helplogger wherin its sub-tabs are displayed in two columns and is also made with CSS, and the good things is we will not add  any scripts on it which is the cause of your slow blog loading . Another feature is that the sub-tabs when arranged in two columns are not very long, so it will be neat and less space along.

Step 3. Click on the "Add a Gadget" link just under your header image From the Gadget's List, select "HTML/JavaScript" option.
Step 4. Copy and paste the code below and paste it in the blank page.
Note: Replace the "Title" and "SubTab" title section of this widget with your own.
<div id='btttab'>
<div id='btttopwrapper'>
<ul id='top'>
<li><a href='http://YOUR URL HERE.com'>Tab 1 Title Here</a></li>
<li><a href='http://YOUR URL HERE.com'>Tab 2 Title Here</a></li>
<li><a class='submenucol' href='#'>Tab 3 Title Here</a>
<ul>
<li><a href='http://YOUR URL HERE.com'>Sub Tab 3.1</a></li>
<li><a href='http://YOUR URL HERE.com'>Sub Tab 3.2</a></li>
<li><a href='http://YOUR URL HERE.com'>Sub Tab 3.3</a></li>
<li><a href='http://YOUR URL HERE.com'>Sub Tab 3.4</a></li>
<li><a href='http://YOUR URL HERE.com'>Sub Tab 3.5</a></li>
<li><a href='http://YOUR URL HERE.com'>Sub Tab 3.6</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a class='submenucol' href='#'>Tab 4 Title Here</a>
<ul>
<li><a href='http://YOUR URL HERE.com'>Sub Tab 4.1</a></li>
<li><a href='http://YOUR URL HERE.com'>Sub Tab 4.2</a></li>
<li><a href='http://YOUR URL HERE.com'>Sub Tab 4.3</a></li>
<li><a href='http://YOUR URL HERE.com'>Sub Tab 4.4</a></li>
<li><a href='http://YOUR URL HERE.com'>Sub Tab 4.5</a></li>
<li><a href='http://YOUR URL HERE.com'>Sub Tab 4.6</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a class='submenucol' href='#'>Tab 5 Title Here</a>
<ul>
<li><a href='http://YOUR URL HERE.com'>Sub Tab 5.1</a></li>
<li><a href='http://YOUR URL HERE.com'>Sub Tab 5.2</a></li>
<li><a href='http://YOUR URL HERE.com'>Sub Tab 5.3</a></li>
<li><a href='http://YOUR URL HERE.com'>Sub Tab 5.4</a></li>
<li><a href='http://YOUR URL HERE.com'>Sub Tab 5.5</a></li>

</ul>
</li>
<li><a href='http://YOUR URL HERE.com'>Tab 6 Title Here</a></li>

</ul>
<br class='clearit'/>
</div>

Replace 'http://YOUR URL HERE.com' with the URL of your post. or you can just put a # sign  on it.

To add as many of the main tabs as you need,  just copy the entire code below for the main tab for each additional tab you want:
<li><a href='http://YOUR URL HERE.com'>Tab 7 Title Here</a>
<ul>
<li><a href='http://YOUR URL HERE.com'>Sub Tab 7.1</a></li>
<li><a href='http://YOUR URL HERE.com'>Sub Tab 7.2</a></li>
<li><a href='http://YOUR URL HERE.com'>Sub Tab 7.3</a></li>
</ul>
</li>

Step 5. Now let's go a step further and add the CSS style in our Template. Back to Blogger Dashboard, go to Template > Edit HTML
Step 6. Search for the tag ]]></b:skin> and just above it paste the code below.
/* Horizontal menu with 2 columns
----------------------------------------------- */
#btttab {
width:940px;
height:37px;
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #666666, #000000);
background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0.00, #666666), color-stop(1.0, #000000));
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(gradientType=0,startColorStr=#666666,endColorStr=#000000);
border-bottom:1px solid #666666;
border-top:1px solid #666666;
margin:0 auto;padding:0 auto;
overflow:hidden;
}
#btttopwrapper {
width:940px;
height:40px;
margin:0 auto;
padding:0 auto;
}
.clearit {
clear: both;
height: 0;
line-height: 0.0;
font-size: 0;
}
#top {
width:100%;
}
#top, #top ul {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
list-style: none;
}
#top a {
border-right:1px solid #333333;
text-align:left;
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
padding:10px 12px 11px;
font:bold 14px Arial;
text-transform:none;
color:#eee;
}
#top a:hover {
background:#000000;
color:#F6F6F6;
}
#top a.submenucol {
background-image: url(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3katXD-qvB1ZA8UleU4J_HKzoMO88CoL_MpUrP9w4YFTwE4ur3b4utAkB7nODa38klAIyHFPx-hPB5mxoSze_sGS_VEmeinTlgWW_mupdOHqQZvWONExPqnX6hBZqjLIwWYqCCayZL8g/s1600/arrow_white.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
padding: 10px 24px 11px 12px;
background-position: right center;
}
#top li {
float: left;
position: relative;
}
#top li {
position: static !important;
width: auto;
}
#top li ul, #top ul li {
width:300px;
}
#top ul li a {
text-align:left;
padding: 6px 15px;
font-size:13px;
font-weight:normal;
text-transform:none;
font-family:Arial, sans-serif;
border:none;
}
#top li ul {
z-index:100;
position: absolute;
display: none;
background-color:#F1F1F1;
margin-left:-80px;
padding:10px 0;
border-radius: 0px 0px 6px 6px;
box-shadow:0 2px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.6);
filter:alpha(opacity=87);
opacity:.87;
}
#top li ul li {
width:150px;
float:left;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#top li:hover ul, #top li.hvr ul {
display: block;
}
#top li:hover ul a, #top li.hvr ul a {
color:#333;
background-color:transparent;
text-decoration:none;
}
#top ul a:hover {
text-decoration:underline!important;
color:#444444 !important;
}

Step 7. Now find (CTRL + F) this line: It will also have some little lines or codes beneath it like the below:
.tabs-inner {
  margin: .5em $(tabs.margin.sides) $(tabs.margin.bottom);
  padding: 0;
}

.tabs-inner .section {
  margin: 0;
}

.tabs-inner .widget ul {
  padding: 0;

  background: $(tabs.background.color) $(tabs.background.gradient) repeat scroll bottom;

  -moz-border-radius: $(tabs.border.radius);
  -webkit-border-radius: $(tabs.border.radius);
  -goog-ms-border-radius: $(tabs.border.radius);
  border-radius: $(tabs.border.radius);
}

.tabs-inner .widget li {
  border: none;
}

.tabs-inner .widget li a {
  display: inline-block;

  padding: .5em 1em;
  margin-$endSide: $(tabs.spacing);

  color: $(tabs.text.color);
  font: $(tabs.font);

  -moz-border-radius: $(tab.border.radius) $(tab.border.radius) 0 0;
  -webkit-border-top-left-radius: $(tab.border.radius);
  -webkit-border-top-right-radius: $(tab.border.radius);
  -goog-ms-border-radius: $(tab.border.radius) $(tab.border.radius) 0 0;
  border-radius: $(tab.border.radius) $(tab.border.radius) 0 0;

  background: $(tab.background);

  border-$endSide: 1px solid $(tabs.separator.color);
}

.tabs-inner .widget li:first-child a {
  padding-$startSide: 1.25em;

  -moz-border-radius-top$startSide: $(tab.first.border.radius);
  -moz-border-radius-bottom$startSide: $(tabs.border.radius);
  -webkit-border-top-$startSide-radius: $(tab.first.border.radius);
  -webkit-border-bottom-$startSide-radius: $(tabs.border.radius);
  -goog-ms-border-top-$startSide-radius: $(tab.first.border.radius);
  -goog-ms-border-bottom-$startSide-radius: $(tabs.border.radius);
  border-top-$startSide-radius: $(tab.first.border.radius);
  border-bottom-$startSide-radius: $(tabs.border.radius);
}

.tabs-inner .widget li.selected a,
.tabs-inner .widget li a:hover {
  position: relative;
  z-index: 1;

  background: $(tabs.selected.background.color) $(tab.selected.background.gradient) repeat scroll bottom;
  color: $(tabs.selected.text.color);

  -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 $(region.shadow.spread) rgba(0, 0, 0, .15);
  -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 $(region.shadow.spread) rgba(0, 0, 0, .15);
  -goog-ms-box-shadow: 0 0 $(region.shadow.spread) rgba(0, 0, 0, .15);
  box-shadow: 0 0 $(region.shadow.spread) rgba(0, 0, 0, .15);
}


Step 8. Delete the code above until you reach the code :
/* Headings
----------------------------------------------- */

Step 9. Replace the  code that you have removed above, add this one:
#crosscol ul {z-index: 200; padding:0 !important;}
#crosscol li:hover {position:relative;}
#crosscol ul li {padding:0 !important;}
.tabs-outer {z-index:1;}
.tabs-inner {padding: 0 0px;}

Step 10. Save the Template and you are done pal!
