Blogger tips and tricks
My first Blogger Tips and Tricks post received such a positive response that, I have decided to make this a monthly feature. I know sometimes HTML codes and blogging, in general, can make you feel like you’ve just taken a trip in the Tardis..but my wish is to make it as simple as possible for you.
Update: I noticed when copying the code from this post the quotes are fancy and can mess with code. Please replace them before using code.

 1. Placing Images Side by Side on my Blog. 
Blogger tips and tricksBlogger tips and tricks

This is a simple way to place them side by side.
Access the HTML side of your post and type the following code:
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<img alt=”” src=”image url image 1″ width=”180″ />
<img alt=”” src=”image url image 2″ width= “180” />
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

In the highlighted blue area you will need to place the web-hosted URL of your image. You can use Photobucket(this is what I use and it’s free), Flickr etc to house these images. What?? how do I do that?? It’s easy, download image desired to your computer. Set up an account with web-based photoshop such as Photobucket. When you are logged on, upload pictures from your computer by selecting upload and following directions. Then click save and go to your albums. Under the photo, you will see a direct link, copy and paste that URL into the red area above, repeat for the second image. In the blue area select the width you want the photo to be.
2. Want them to have clickable links????

<center>
<table cellpadding=”0″ cellspacing=”0″>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><a href=”url address to website”><img border=”0″ src=”url image of picture” /></a></td>
10px;”>url address to wrbsitel”><img border=”0″ src=”url image of picture” /></a></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
</center>
  • To add to your post, go to HTML side of composing and copy and paste this code into the post.
  • copy and paste the link site URL in the red area.
  • In the blue area copy and paste your image URL. Remember it must be an image stored online, for example, Photobucket or Flickr. (be sure and size them the same)
  • Repeat for each image.
  • The 10px  is the distance between images and you can change that number to suit your needs.

4. Can I do more than 2 side by side images? 

Yes you can, for more images, simply add more code surrounded by ( <td style=”padding-left:10px;”>  and </td> ) Make sure you add them before the tag ( </tr> )
  • <td style=”padding-left:10px;”> paste 2nd link url here“><img src=”paste 2nd photo url here” border=”0″ /></a></td>
5. Can these codes be used in my side bar?
Yes, just be sure to re-size images to fit the width of your sidebar. On blogger, go to add a gadget and use HTML code. Copy and paste the codes we used above.
Tips:

1. Commenting on other blogs:

Be sure to set up accounts with all comment systems that include a link to YOUR blog. (ie. Comment Luv, blogger, Disqus, WordPress, twitter.) I get comments and would love to reciprocate..but if I cannot find you easily I cannot comment.
I know it’s a pain, and I know it takes time to set up profiles but you will see an increase in comments to your blog..trust me. Choice a username and icon to use for all profiles. This will make you recognizable!!! You can use the same password to make it easier to remember. Add your blog and twitter link to this profile. Market yourself everywhere you go.
2. Images in your sidebar 

To all the bloggers with pictures in your sidebars that hang out over the edges..you can use PhotobucketFlickr etc to re-size those images to fit within the sidebar. You can also resize your side bar by customizing your template. For Blogger, go to Template, customize, adjusts widths and play around with it, till you get the look you want.
Good Luck and if you have a problem..email, tweet or facebook message me 🙂

THINKING THROUGH OUR FINGERS Writing, to me, is simply thinking through my fingers. – Isaac Asimov Menu SKIP TO CONTENT Search Advanced Critiquing: Using Facilitative Feedback OCTOBER 24, 2014 / THINKINGTHROUGHOURFINGERS Erin’s post yesterday offered a great primer on  effective critiquing . Today, I want to build on her ideas to offer some specific strategies toward becoming an outstanding critique partner. One of the most rewarding parts of the writing community is the support writers give each other, often through feedback and critique. I have been humbled and awed by the generosity of my fellow writers, time and time again. But critiquing can be intimidating, particularly if you’re new to writing. It’s scary to give your precious words to someone else. It can be even more daunting to try to respond to someone else’s words–especially when you’re not sure what to say. Or how to say it. That’s precisely what this post is for. In my other profession...

While they may be fellow writers, there’s no rule that says they must be. The main criteria for a beta reader is that they are widely read in the genre of your story, they know what they like and don’t like, can make a guess as to why they have either reaction—and aren’t afraid to tell you. A fellow writer is going to give you plenty of opinions about metaphors, punctuation, cliches, and grammar, which is why they’re more likely to fit the bill as a critique partner than beta reader. A beta reader isn’t an...
