A blog post permalink with all your main keywords always ranks better than any normal permalink. You can do this on Blogger as well as WordPress. Simply follow these guidelines. In Blogger, simply publish your latest post with only the main three keywords (not more than three) in the title. Then edit the post to change the title and content to the original post. That's it. In WordPress, you can directly edit the post permalink, but I saw that you need to wait a moment before this editing feature is enabled. It comes as a short snippet below the post title. Simply click the 'edit' button and change the permalink to remove prepositions and add any non-appearing keywords.

Several of my friends enquired me why I am keeping all my font styling inside the post and not in my external CSS Stylesheet. Here is the answer. I have been seeing consistently that out of hundreds of RSS feeds that I have in my reader, it's CW that looks the best. It has the just the exact font style and color that I want. When I have my font style clearly defined in each post, it gets transferred to my RSS feed. On the other hand, external stylesheet doesn't have any effect on feeds. Therefore, all normal feeds will look stale in their universal Arial 10 pt font and bold headings on feeds though they may have individual styles in their blogs, while mine will be the same at both places. I use Verdana 10 pt for body and green color with slightly larger font size for titles. All these will be visible in the RSS feed, making mine very cool on the eyes; you will notice this difference from other professional blog RSS feeds. Therefore, my advice is you not use external stylesh...

Recently, a reader queried me this little doubt. How do I show the HTML/JavaScript codes on my Blogger posts? So, I decided to post it as a tidbit here. Your HTML code has tags, enclosed in angle brackets (< and >). All you need to do is replace these angle brackets with these: In place of < , use &lt; and in place of > , use &gt; . Keep everything else the same and publish your code, it will be shown as code itself on the published post. Example: In place of this code: <a href="http://cutwriting.blogspot.com">CW</a> you will use: &lt;a href="http://cutewriting.blogspot.com"&gt;CW&lt;/a&gt; Copyright © Lenin Nair 2008

If you are using the popular tweak in Firefox browser, to detect Nofollow links right from the page itself (nofollow comment links are shown in special font and style), detailed here , then you need this post. I found that there are a few new comment systems, such as Disqus comments , that may show the comment links as normal links. So, you may think that the blog is DoFollow, while it is actually NoFollow. These systems use a JavaScript code to enable comments. So, make sure you check the source code of the page to see if any of the links is displayed in the source at all before commenting for link juice. An example of the blog that uses this is marketer, Jim Kukral's . With this, I am starting this new little post category, Blogging Tidbits, which, as opposed to Blogging Tips, will have lightweight tip posts. Copyright © Lenin Nair 2008
