Poll-a-rama

How-To: Make Your Blog dofollow & Remove the rel=nofollow Tag

If you are new to blogging, you may not have heard of the term dofollow. This term relates to how google and other search engines scan (aka crawl) your site. Search engines can follow any link on your webpage through to another site. This 'following' helps the page that is linked to, because it shows that there is another, unrelated website that is linking to it. The dofollow blog or website is nice to find on the web if you are trying to market your site. If they allow you to post comments with a link to your site you can get free links to your site and potentially more traffic and advertising revenue (we'll talk about advertisers later.)

By default Blogger adds a nofollow attribute to links posted in the comments section. I'll show you how to disable this and allow search engines to help your followers out with more traffic and a higher page rank!

Here are the steps to add a signature to your email:

Tutorial: How to Change Your Blog's Favicon

I'm sure there are many of you that have noticed the cute little blogger icon (aka favicon) in the address bar of your web browser . There is a fairly simple way to go about saving an image like this to your blog, and I'll share it with you today!
The first thing you need to change your blog's favicon is a favicon. There are a couple of sites that have free favicon generators.
