How To Set Up Your Blog!

Below I have a video and some links to videos that will help you actually create a nice blog.  
Take some time now and familiarize yourself with how to create a blog.

Watch This Video on getting started.



Now, if you are not webmaster savoy and know little about html, the next series of videos will get you a working blog.
  • HOW TO AD A BACKGROUND TO YOUR BLOG

  • AD A NEW BACKGROUND TO YOUR BLOG

By all means type into your favorite search engine, free blog backgrounds.  You will have many sites and choices. Save some of your favorite sites on your desktop or favorites.

  • GET RID OF TOP NAVIGATION BAR - This is the blue bar at the top of your blog.  It is of course optional to get rid of this but, if you notice someone can click on next and be taken away from your site.  I think it looks more professional and less cheesy to get rid of it, but your choice.

#navbar-iframe {display: none! important;}
The line above is a copy of the line used to make that navigation bar disappear.

  • CHANGE OR EDIT HEADER

You want to change the header - even if its just to a  nice picture, this will help contribute to the look of your blog. On the other hand you may chose not to have a header. 
You may chose to create a banner to place there:
  • AD BANNER/HEADER

Keep in mind - I am giving you some tools to help you make you a good blog, but you can still do additional research via search engines and youtube to continue to find other tools. I only want to steer you in to right direction.

  • EDIT/ADD TO SIDE BAR - The side bar is that column to your left or right on your blog site.

I personally used all these tools to create this site and others.  Someone who does not know a lot about websites or html can follow the instructions from the videos and make something happen.  As far as those of you who already know this stuff. Sorry, you might me bored right now.  The marketing stuff is coming hold your horses. I will get to that.

Your blog should take some thought on your part.
I know what you are thinking you have clicked on blogs - ranked on page 1 or 2 of google that look really ratty.  You don't have to be like them.  Have your blog looking decent.  Do not leave it plain.  Find a nice back ground.
Rule of thumb, keep your site clean and easy to understand.  That will go a long way.  Have fun with it but keep it professional; no teddy bears or crayons.  Leave that for your blog about books for kids and toys.  Your choices are endless so don't get stuck.  Make your decisions and move on.

AMAZON IS LETTING US GO!

This is an actual letter from AMAZON.COM to all California associates Title:  Notice of Contract Termination Due to Potential New California Law Hello, For well over a decade, the Amazon Associates Program has worked with thousands of California residents. Unfortunately, a potential new law that may be signed by Governor Brown compels us to terminate this program for California-based participants. It specifically imposes the collection of taxes from consumers on sales by online retailers - including but not limited to those referred by California-based marketing affiliates like you - even if those retailers have no physical presence in the state. We oppose this bill because it is unconstitutional and counterproductive. It is supported by big-box retailers, most of which are based outside California, that seek to harm the affiliate advertising programs of their competitors. Similar legislation in other states has led to job and income losses, and little, if any, new tax revenue...
