Adding a blogroll to Typepad

by Tricia

I run some blogrolls of my own on my other sites and I’ve found that a number of people have no idea how to add a blogroll to their site. Even though I haven’t used all of the different types of blogging platforms I’ve learned from my blogroll members how they finally managed to add the code to their sidebar.

To make things easier for you I thought I’d post the instructions for Typepad users here.

Charles from Deuces Stay Wild figured out this one for us:

1. In TypePad, create a Notes typelist.

2. Name your list – perhaps “Wordless Wednesday” or whatever the name of the particular blogroll happens to be.

3. Next you click the “add new item” button

4. Then in the “notes” section you paste the blogroll code – that’s the code that begins with the word script.

5. Next you save the changes.

6. After saving your changes you must go to your edit design page

7. And then to change content selections

8. Once you are on the change content selections you select (check the check-box) your new typelist, which in this case is whatever you just named the new blogroll.

9. Save your changes and you are done!

I don’t use Typepad and as a result if you have further questions I won’t be able to answer them. Sorry. However, if you know of an easier way to add a blogroll to Typepad please feel free to tell me your method.

How to add a blogroll to B2Evolution

by Tricia

Apparently adding a blogroll to B2evolution is a pain in the hinny. I don’t use that blogging software myself, however one of my blogroll list members was kind enough to have helped me out by giving me the instructions.

The first thing that you need to do is got to your Admin area and click on the Templates tab.

  • Then you will need to select:
  • “_main.php – This is the main template. It displays the blog.”
  • Once you are on main.php, figure out where your sidebar is located in the coding. Look for the words “START OF SIDEBAR”
  • Scroll down until you reach the end of the Side Bar Coding which often ends with an href link to B2evolution and a B2evolution image link.
  • Hit enter twice after the end of the B2evolution link code which ends with an ending paragraph code < / p>
  • Then add the following code:

    b2evoinstr.jpg

  • Save your work at that point and check your page. You should have a blogroll or whatever else (image?) that you pasted into the sidebar code area.

NOTE: If you are using a custom design you will need to edit the _main.php file in the folder that contains your skin.

I hope that you’ve found this information helpful. Remember, I do not use B2evolution so I won’t be able to answer many questions on this if you have any. I’m just trying to be helpful.

Promoting your website

by Tricia

Which sites should you be sure to get listed in so that you will gain more visitors? Well, everyone wants visitors and being listed in the search engines won’t guarantee more visitors if you don’t have some half decent quality on your site, but it will certainly help.

Whenever I create a new website I go around to all of these sites and submit my url:

Google: This link takes you directly to the Google add your url page. You only need to submit the index page of your site. If you’ve set up your navigation on your page, created a sitemap on your site or by using Google Sitemaps, Google’s spiders will eventually crawl your whole site.

Yahoo: This link should take you directly to Yahoo’s free submit site page. You’ll need to sign in with your Yahoo I.D. in order to submit your site. Again, you only need to submit the top level page of your site to get Yahoo to begin spidering your site. Alta Vista, and All the Web pull their results from Yahoo’s Overture listings.

Yahoo Site Explorer – I’ve also listed all of my websites and Blogs on Yahoo Site explorer. You can list your site url and your site’s RSS feed in the explorer.

MSN Live Search URL Submission – I’ve found that sites get listed fairly quickly on the MSN search engines when I submit there.

DMOZ – Open Directory Project – A number of search engines pull their search results directly from the listings on DMOZ. Netscape, and AOL are among the popular search engines that now use the Open Directory Project. You’ll need to scroll through the DMOZ directory until you find an area that suits your site, and then submit or suggest your url in that area. It can take a long long time to get listed in DMOZ, but don’t give up hope.

MSN Submit It – get your site listed on MSN as well. I’ve found that when I submit my new sites to MSN they get picked up quickly.

If you have a blog you should submit to these sites as well:

Technorati – If you want visitors this site is one of the best to get listed on if you have a blog. Sign up for an account at Technorati, and then select “Claim Blog” and follow the directions to get your site listed.

The Truth Laid Bare – Another important site to be listed on. Register for an account, and then add your blog. You’ll have to put some code on your site so that the Truth laid Bare site can track your blogs popularity and links in and out.

There are plenty more search engines and blog directories to list your sites in, but these are the ones to begin with, and in my opinion are the ones that are most important if you want to begin getting visitors.
