What would you thing if someone ask you, what are the criteria of good template. The answer can be a million, but here I will mention a few of it. The most important things in good template is your layout. Is your layout user friendly? Most of successful blogger have user friendly as an example, http://www.problogger.net/ and http://www.johncow.com/. Did you realize beside nice looking layout, what is the similarly of this two blog? Most of the advertisement or a service offered by them is on the top of the page. On the right of the page, they put the links or page navigation and direct advertisement in their blog. There must be a reason why the blog navigation and advertisement or any money maker program is on the right side. Most of us is right hand side and left handed is only minority. The possibility easy to click is 70- 80 % must be in the right side of the page because most people is right handed.

Another thing very important to determine the criteria of good template is page process loading. Just imagine what you will do if the page you trying to open very slowly. You will leave that page and search another page. If you wish visitor of your page read the post in your blog, then thing again to create or choose a template that loading easily and fast. Trust me; it will help you increase your blog performance.

Third thing is, color combination in your blog. If your page or blog have a good color combination plus beautiful design, I believe you already have done one of the basic thing to be a professional blogger. Just ask your self, if you still didn’t satisfy with your template, try to search the best template on the internet. There is a million good and beautiful template in the internet, it’s totally free. Send a little bit of your time to search good template and try to learn how it made. I believe soon or letter you will come out with your own template. I also still learn hoe to create a good template. Here is a few tips how to select a suitable color for your blog.

Happy = Yellow Inexpensive = Brown
Pure = White Powerful = Red (tomato)
Good Luck = green Dependable = Blue
Good tasting = Red (tomato) High Quality = Black
Dignity = Purple Nausea = Green
Technology = Silver Deity = White
Sexiness = Red (tomato) Bad Luck = Black
Mourning = Black Favorite color = Blue
Expensive = Gold Least favorite color = Orange

So in designing your page or blog it's important to know what colors mean.

I made a conclusions here, the criteria of good template are:

1.Nice looking
2.User friendly
3.Page easy and fast to loading.
4.Colour of your blog.

I want to start blogging. What should I do fist? This is my first question come into my mind before I start blogging a year ago. Starting point is very important for you to begin something new in your life. Blogging also can be one of your sources of income, but your blog must be outstanding. There is many bloggers out there made a great income from their blog. How they make it? There is many way you can generate income from your blog, such as do review, google adsense, selling services, direct advertisement and many more. I didn’t want to discuss how you are getting money online for now, because I also did not get a good income from my blog.

Blogging is how we can share our knowledge, experience, expertise, felling, and idea with our readers thru internet. Why blog is more popular than web page to share information?. It because blog is very easy to use and all contain presented up to five posts in a page. Come to the main question, what I need to start blogging? Before start blogging, you have to think what the main topic is or contain of your blog. This will lead you to come out with your blog title. If you interested about car, you can make a blog about car and select title related to car. After you came out with your blog title and now is the second level, create a blog. What you need in a blog?

Here is my answer:

1. A great template. ( Many nice template available in the internet and its free, just use it)
2. Recent comment ( it important for you to response to your reader)
3. Recent posts ( tell your readers what new in your blog)
4. Chat box ( provide a space for you and your reader to chat)
5. Top commenter ( Help you to show who give a most comment in your blog )
6. Link list ( very useful to exchange link)
7. Blog Archive ( This can help your reader to check previous posts)
8. Adsense ( put any advertisement in your blog, who know your are lucky and make great money from your blog)

I hope my answer will give you an idea how to start blogging.

It not a joke, it very real.. blogger now available in malay. You can see picture attached with this post. Malaysian you should glad, blogger had give attention to us by providing blogger in our language. I believe blogger now are growing very fast in their development. Did wordpress provide malay? So far I never heard wordpress provided in malay, if it have please let me know. Yes I do agree that most of blogger now using wordpress because this blog engine can run in a localhost. I highly suggest blogger development team will allow us to run in a localhost. My felling says that blogger will give more impact in blogging scenario in a few months, it because more and more function coming out. Good luck blogger aka blogspot.

* Here is my main point, why blogger very famous. Blogger open the way for his user to earn income compare to the other blog engine.

In the top of the Internet Explorer 7 window, in the same line as your tabs there is a Tools menu item, left click the little arrow pointing down then left click Internet Options.

Left click the Programs tab in the window that appears.

In the second section of that tab is Default browser.

Left click the button to make Internet Explorer the default browser.

Some of you might didn’t notice that there is a different for www.domain.com or domain.com. Nowadays, most of the internet user didn’t use www in front the domain. Easier for the users to access the web by just typing the domain name in the address bar without www.

What actually the different? The different is some of the search engine will assume the www and non www web page is different. It might be affect your web ranging in the search engine result. If your webs stay on the top, the chance you to make money or get notice by your visitor are very high. So, it up to you either you still want to stick with www or moving into www. The decision in your hand.

Most of the hosting provider had automatically set the redirect the www page to non www page. What should you do if your hosting provider didn’t redirect your www domain to non www. You can do the redirect from www to non www domain. For example; http://www.abc.com to http://abc.com. Just use the script below on your .htacess

########## Redirect non-www to www version of site
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule (.*)
http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

I had mentioned before that I will come out with my own tutorial how to change image header in blogger. This tutorial will change image header for K2 Blogger Beta Template as I had promise. After download the theme to your local computer, unzip it and open that file with any text editor. My advice is open it by Word pad to see and understand the source code better. To change the image, just find #headr. If you had a problem to find it, you can use Find function. From the menu, click Edit and then Find, enter #headr. Now you need to find where is the image URL see example below,
#headr {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
position: relative;
height: 200px;
background: #3371A3 url('http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7994/1253/1600/K2.jpg') no-repeat bottom center;
}
Just copy and paste the url in the address bar of your browser and you can see the image file. Define that image size or just save that image into your computer. Create your own image and make sure the image size is exactly same as the original. Upload your image to the internet and do not forget the URL of your new image because you need to change the old image URL sown as below.

#headr {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
position: relative;
height: 200px;
background: #3371A3 url('http://your_new_imahe_url_image.jpg') no-repeat bottom center;
}

This screen shoot will might help you for a better understanding.
