Blog Equator : Tutorial Blog

A couple of months ago I asked readers to share which blog tools they use the most in some of the following areas. The suggestions were a nice start but I’d like to see the list expand as I’m certain there are more blog tools and services out there.

Please note that I’ve decided not to add ‘hosting packages’ to this list and am attempting to keep it to products that directly help bloggers blogs improve rather than more general organizational/business products. Lastly I’m not including actual blogging platforms - if you’re interested in these and how to choose between them you might like my Choosing a Blog Platform post.

Thanks for correction mr. naga

You have to be more user friendly with your readers. For instance in this post, you wanted to give out the code for link exchange, but you have given the code in a image file. Which means, no one will ever know the code and they cant add them to their own blog.

Your previous post about the social network plugin, your codes in notepad are not readable. Try downloading and you will get a lot of boxes. And trust me its not a decoding problem.

I'm sorry for unconvenient, I've repaired social network plugin in this post.

There is no necessity to have subscribed blog to no of these services, rather, the connections are indeed so that the user subscribes it and has at the hand your Link yes considers it of utility.

Now we are going to see like putting them:

1.Go to Template -> Edit HTML -> Tick into Expand Widget Templates

2. We looked for the following code:

3. That line with the following code replaces:

</div>

4. Now it looks for the code:

]]></b:skin>

And right above it sticks the following thing:

.rsociales ul {
display:inline;
margin:0pt !important;
padding:0pt !important;
}
.rsociales li {
background:transparent none repeat scroll 0%;
display:inline;
list-style-type:none;
margin:0pt;
padding:2px;
}
.rsociales img {
border:0pt none;
float:none;
margin:0pt;
padding:0pt;
}
.rsociales-sobre {
opacity:0.4;
}
.rsociales-sobre:hover {
opacity:1;
}

Ok, I hope This post help you.
