How To Post HTML Code In Blogger Comments Form?

PS: This Post is an experiment and not a new one

While writing tutorials or asking a question, sometimes it becomes very necessary to post html and javascript codes in your blog comment forms powered by Blogger. You have seen many authors posting HTML effectively but when some of you try to do it, you get an error. This is because Blogger Comment form doesn't support direct posting of HTML and JavaScript. In order to help you to do that we will need to change/encode the same code into a text and then post it effectively without any error. The Tool below will help you to change HTML characters to simple text, which could be easily inserted in your blogger template and comment form. You can also use it to convert your adsense code into an embeddable form. It converts special characters in this way,
  • '<' becomes '&lt;'
  • '>' becomes '&gt;'
  • '"' (double quote) becomes '&quot;'
  • ''' (single quote) becomes '&#039;'
  • '&' becomes '&amp;'
THE HTML ENCODER: Start Converting Now!

Add A Smooth ‘Back to Top’ Button
There’s a plethora of tutorials out there that teaches you how to add a smooth ‘Back to Top’ button on your Blogger blog but most of them involves editing the HTML code of your current template, which I don’t like doing. That is why I chose the simplest method that Rahul from helperblogger.com and others like him used, and that is to make use of Blogger’s ‘Add a Gadget’ feature.

Choosing Brilliant Images for Your Posts

Choosing Brilliant Images for Your Posts

Why read the book when there’s the movie available? Probably that’s what most people think in getting instant info about a topic so selecting an image for your post is essential in attracting more visitors in your blog and get them more interested.
An image is a useful tool to help your readers follow easily on what you’ve written, so here are some tips provided by James Adams to select the best image needed for your post.
  1. Relevance. Add images that are relevant to your post but don’t go overboard by adding pictures just for the sake of adding one. Make it straight forward just like the texts you’ve made.
  2. Copyright. Keep in mind that not all images are available for others to use. There are copyrights on the net and in print. To be safe, it’s better to use your own images or find one
That provides free use. There are sites that offer free use of images. If you will be using an image coming from another site, email or contact the owner and ask for permission to use.
  1. Editing. Edit your pictures before posting it. If the file is too large, make some adjustments. Having a clean image gets the point straight to your readers better than an unclear one. There are many great tools for editing an image, one is the popularly used Photoshop. There are also alternatives if you don’t have Photoshop. You can also use Gimp which is free.
  2. Avoid. Consider other user’s net speed connection, so you may try to avoid selecting images that may have loading factors. You don’t want your readers get turned off when browsing your site and it loads slowly because of some animated images.
  3. Include. You may have to include images that are better to use and have unique illustrations. Familiar image loses its weight since people have seen it already on other sites, so look for something that associates well and relevant with your work.
