My heart is mourning!I always have this problem with my pagerank.I was granted a PR2 early this year when all of a sudden it got shut down to zero last 3rd of June or so.Why am I still being cursed like this?Is this some kind of cycle that leads you nowhere?I've submitted a reconsideration way back in June and in no time Google promptly gave it to me back-I was very glad then that I smiled all day-but now! they've taken it away to me again! for the second time? I must admit that I've copied and pasted some of other people's articles but I made sure it is no follow though, but linked to them.I've failed to no follow the links on the post Neopets Daily Dare which I posted last night and what do I have now?The worse than ever page ranking I've ever had! N/A!If I had my Pr to zero last time this time google reverted it to Not available and is subjective to their supplemental rules,I think so.
Just when everything is getting better like my blog traffic increase,I'm currently top30 at Topblogs,I'm glad that every minute I always have visits,I earn a dollar a day at adsense; these Google pagerank checker people will always have to shut down my google page rank.No matter what PR my blog has it doesn't really matter for me-well because I do not have paid links,payperposts and all those make money online websites you hate!And I think I have ridden along with those websites you really hate.WHY?WHY?WHY?I even change the title of this blog from simply bluerivenfire to The Google Trender -and if you'd ask me why the answer is because I thought you like my blog for you quickly gave to me my Pr back last time, and you indexed my website though not so often but still i have this post you've indexed and all and lastly I so love google trends!
If you have given me the same mercy with those people who has begged for you to give their Pr's back last June.I hope you will also give me the same mercy by the time you'll read my reconsideration request. Just tell me what do I have to do! what have I done wrong!
The official Google Blog has posted a blog post confirming the rumors about their new operating system called Google Chrome OS.The Google Chrome OS download.What is google chrome OS?
Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks. Later this year we will open-source its code, and netbooks running Google Chrome OS will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010. Because we're already talking to partners about the project, and we'll soon be working with the open source community, we wanted to share our vision now so everyone understands what we are trying to achieve.
Speed, simplicity and security are the key aspects of Google Chrome OS. We're designing the OS to be fast and lightweight, to start up and get you onto the web in a few seconds. The user interface is minimal to stay out of your way, and most of the user experience takes place on the web. And as we did for the Google Chrome browser, we are going back to the basics and completely redesigning the underlying security architecture of the OS so that users don't have to deal with viruses, malware and security updates. It should just work.
Google Chrome OS will run on both x86 as well as ARM chips and we are working with multiple OEMs to bring a number of netbooks to market next year. The software architecture is simple — Google Chrome running within a new windowing system on top of a Linux kernel. For application developers, the web is the platform. All web-based applications will automatically work and new applications can be written using your favorite web technologies. And of course, these apps will run not only on Google Chrome OS, but on any standards-based browser on Windows, Mac and Linux thereby giving developers the largest user base of any platform.
Google Chrome OS is a new project, separate from Android. Android was designed from the beginning to work across a variety of devices from phones to set-top boxes to netbooks. Google Chrome OS is being created for people who spend most of their time on the web, and is being designed to power computers ranging from small netbooks to full-size desktop systems. While there are areas where Google Chrome OS and Android overlap, we believe choice will drive innovation for the benefit of everyone, including Google.
We hear a lot from our users and their message is clear — computers need to get better. People want to get to their email instantly, without wasting time waiting for their computers to boot and browsers to start up. They want their computers to always run as fast as when they first bought them. They want their data to be accessible to them wherever they are and not have to worry about losing their computer or forgetting to back up files. Even more importantly, they don't want to spend hours configuring their computers to work with every new piece of hardware, or have to worry about constant software updates. And any time our users have a better computing experience, Google benefits as well by having happier users who are more likely to spend time on the Internet.read more. . .

In your early days on blogging you're probably used of spending a lot of time refining and tweaking your layout with CSS and adding/removing widgets for your template to load quickly & to make it presentable for your readers. I know that you've been into a lot of websites where you can find free professional blogger templates to download and all. It’s tiring, isn't it?

Stop encompassing to those crappy websites coz we will bring to you the Top 10 Professional Blogspot Templates you can download for free. Don’t worry, it's simple! Infact you're just a click a way from these must-have blogspot templates.
Blogspot users while on the search for blog templates will often choose the wordpress-converted-to-blogger themes. So I have decided to make Daily Inspired, which is SEO friendly top our Top10 of the week.
As far as I'm personally using this template on my good-for-nothing blog there are lots of reason why this template is a must-have template for blogspot users. First is because it's SEO friendly, you can insert HTML/texts on the template which google spiders will likely to crawl and in that way you'll have more than just the keyword you inserted on your meta tags. It Allow search engines top your article in the first 10 entries on the Google SERPS. Second, It's Adsense Friendly -You don't have to insert a lot of Advertisements to your site just to gain exposure this template will automatically duplicate your adsense ad on the sidebar inside your post article below your post title.Third, it's easy to tweak, have you noticed that I've added a bg image on the background to blend in with this month's celebration? Season? Whatever? Fourth and the last, it's basically because it looks clean, simple, and professional and loads very quickly.
I've once used Arthemia before but I then switched into another because of some problems with the flotation of the sidebars as I was inserting a Widget via Xml.But just recently I dropped by BloggerStyle's and eureka! they've updated Arthemia.It's extremely widgetized that you don't have to mess up with the codes.The Tag-Cloud is provided.Now the navigation or should I say tabs has a drop-down system for your categories.They have this headline and featured content portion that will caught everyone's attention.If you're blog is a mixed of everything you must have at least five concentrated categories -with the new arthemia they have this portion where in you can make those five get noticed.The portion is considered to be a sub-navigation but unlike the main nav this has a unique mouseover effect.
I was astound by it's features I like the two tables below the featured content the most.It has thumbnails which is something that will likely to attract most of your readers.And the description beside the thumbnail will hang and intrigue them and lull them to click the read more link even thought that's not what they're after.
It's unique and I've tried it here.Among all of it's features one is eye-catching and that's the slideshow area
where you can add your desired post and this time you can manage all feature in just one click.

Days before Michael Jackson's death a cancerous lesion was removed from his nose, biographer Diane Dimond and an unnamed family source tell the new issue of Us Weekly.
"Last week, I had two real sources call me and say he's getting surgery right now for removal of skin cancer off his nose," Dimond told Us in an interview on June 26. "This is not a man who suffers pain well. He likes painkillers. So he got some from here, he got some from there -- who knows how much."
Jackson suffered persistent insomnia in recent months, sources tell Us."For the past 15 years, Michael always slept until 3 or 4 in the afternoon and was up all night," a source tells Us Weekly. "When he started rehearsals for the tour, it totally screwed up his system."
Jackson, the source adds, began adding stimulants to his daily drug regimen in order to rise earlier. Cherilyn Lee, a registered nurse whose specialty includes nutritional counseling, told the Associated Press Tuesday that she repeatedly rejected his demands for the drug, Diprivan, which is given intravenously and induces sleep.
She said she received a strange phone call from a Jackson staff member four days before the singer's death that made her fear that he somehow obtained Diprivan or another drug.
"He called and was very frantic and said, 'Michael needs to see you right away.' I said, 'What's wrong?' And I could hear Michael in the background..., 'One side of my body is hot, it's hot, and one side of my body is cold. It's very cold,'" Lee said.continue reading here. . .

When Bloggers are asked WHY DO YOU BLOG? the first probable answer you might get in response is TO EARN MONEY.Some says IT'S THEIR PASSION, TO EXPRESS & SHARE THOUGHTS and FEELINGS, IMPART THEIR KNOWLEDGE, FAME & PROFILE, or SIMPLY FOR FUN.All of those are arguably accepted but primarily it's because of MONEY -or maybe Not if you're asking a hypocrite then.
People blog to add some income while having fun. - that could be the most accurate answer but still Money comes first before anything else on blogging, even before fun.I suppose, almost every blogger started with blogs of the diary kind but when they first heard of Make Money Through Blogging kind of stuff their blog evolves from a personal-diary-like blog into either an Entertainment or a niche blog perhaps.With the used of an Online Money Making Venture commonly known as Google Adsense they were able to earn while blogging.I'm a firm believer that a blogger with the intent of making money rarely do make much at all.Money alone as your aim isn't healthy.Then you must tie Fun and Money together and other factors as well. In that way you will be compelled to be professional, take care of your readers and do well on your Adsense earnings.But then again Money is the number one reason of why many blogs are created and why you keep your blog(s) going.
Adsense is very popular among bloggers and I know it's really hard to earn that much with the platform we(most bloggers) are using (Blogspot); especially on our first couple of weeks on blogging.Blogger(Blogspot) is undeniably the leading free-hosting blogging platform and without any SEO skills everything you've been doing to make money will be unproductive.But I'm not suggesting you to migrate to WP just yet.Why?
First, It is very obvious that you signed up for Blogger simply because it's totally for FREE!why waste your money with WP(I'm not saying Wp is just a waste, as a matter of fact many probloggers attained success using Wp but there are also those Wp blogs trashed in the dumps).You don't want to end up like that do you?I'm a spendthrift myself but I couldn't afford to buy a domain and host my blog on those exceptionally high-priced hosting sites-instead I'm taking(using blogspot) this as a challenge.No matter what I'm gonna end up with -I won't regret any in terms of money.
Second BLOGGING PLATFORMdoesn't really matter!! IT'S YOU.If you're being discouraged by the phrase "You can never make money with Blogger " then think again.It's not just the blogging platform
that makes money, IT'S YOU (well, don't take it literally).It's undeniably you the whole time.All you need is some motivation and focus.
Last,THERE ARE SO MUCH WORLD TO SEE IN BLOGGER! Well, you could word it that way but I'm really talking about the ALTERNATIVES we Blogspot users can learn,take advantage of and be proud of.Of course, you must have SEO skills or some in order to maneuver these alternatives.Allow me to introduce to you BLOGGER HACKS -some says the advantage of Wp is that it has Plug-ins that allows your Adsense - Click Through Rate up.It might sound complicated but you can certainly get your CTR Up ! only that it doesn't come in the form of Plug-ins nor in the form of Widgets -It's IN THE FORM OF CODES.If you're a web enthusiast and familiar with Blogger you can take advantage of and learn from this and if in case you're not! Don't worry this won't be as unnerving as you expects it to be.As a matter of fact you will just have to search for a particualar code on your html template (which may depend on the kind of hack) and replace it with a new set of codes.Sounds easy right?Let's start it with the most powerful Blogger hack that'll boost up your Adsense Earnings!
Placing Google Adsense Inside the Post on Blogger
The Ad placement matters the most -Place your Adsense ads on areas where they can be easily seen, like on top or below the posts title in that way, you will be giving your ads more exposure, thereby increasing click potentials.But flaunting your Ads also has a disadvantage.It can only generate clicks when your readers are interested and this may depend on the ads relevance to what you have written.So therefore, I'm suggesting you to blend it with your theme -some people will think the ads are links part of your article,this means more chance of misclicks.
In blogger,when you're using Adsense as a widget and you chose the option SHOW ADS BETWEEN POST the default position of your advertisements are place below the post or worse below the post line footer.And it isn't always a good place for a good result in terms of revenue so with the Help of the Blogger Hack Antonio Lupettiarticlulated you can now place the ad on top of your post below your post title.Eureka! Below you can see the suspect code you can find in the post's footer.
<b:if cond="'data:post.includeAd'">
<data:adend/>
<data:adcode/>
<data:adstart/>
</b:if>
The suspect code led to the discovery that you can actually play with the ad placements.Thanks to Antonio.
Now to PLACE ADSENSE inside your post!Simply follow these steps:
Choose SHOW ADS BETWEEN POSTon your Adsense Widget.
Go to Layout -> Edit HTML and check the box on the upper right side.
Now press CTRL + F and find this code:
<p><data:post.body/></p>
4. After locating, place this set of codes before the code above:
5. This time, let's do it my way -it's not that Eureka! though but as I was experimenting(say playing) with the adsense codes above I happen to place it exaclty below the article.And that's one of the best places where you can add an Ad.Below the article before the Related Posts.
Of all this is the number 1 Bloggerized Wp Template Blogspot users will surely download in pronto! It's Adsense-friendly and will totally boost up your Google Adsense Earnings-spell SEO?
I don't know why but does it really matter how your blog looks? These days I've really been in to a lot of trouble while customizing my blog template.I've spotted a perfect magazine-like blog template for my blog which is said to be a premium WPtemplate.And that is the "Daily Inspired" created/converted/bloggerized by Antonio Lupetti of Woork.I downloaded it for free then applied it to my blog and I really love it.
Though it's already a pro & clean template,I did everything I can just to make it look more appealing, professional and so that it'll load quickly.With my Html and Xhtml skills, I edited some of the bgcolors,html & xhtml,of course the url for anchor text links(provided with YOUR-URL-HERE),then photoshop-ed personalized images for the logo and welcome note,added some useful widget and even tried burning another feed at feedburner for the recent comments and lastly used Google Adsense to add some income in my blog.I was so happy with the result but I ended up grieving- It took me a lot of time that I forgot to nofollow the links so Google shut down my pagerank, I thought.Anyways I'm still happy with the result but whenever my eyeballs come across the gray 0 pagerank button on the sidebar I always get anxious.So I decided to remove it and all.Let's not talk about it okay?I'll be posting my struggles with retrieving my PR back -as soon as I can send Google a request.
I have so many plans that I don't know where to start -like messing up with the tags so that I can insert the url of my desired category on the navigation bar(As you can see,I haven't done anything on the nav bar) another is to edit the logo -I don't feel like it after receiving a comment saying it's way too grungy for a blog like mine and last is that I wanted to use JSquery or Ajax slideshows on the Home Page area.I would also like to make a horizontal marquee-ed blogroll under the Welcome Note.
Daily inspired is a highly customized blogger template and I must admit having knowledge with HTML,xHMTL,JS,CSS & of course BLOGGER is an advantage,so if you don't you'll prolly have problems.I'm still a student and I think I only have enough knowledge to work this thing out.I know I can -but it'll take some time.Even though I'm not yet finished with my template -I might as well share to you some tips and tricks to make your Daily Inspired template level Up!
Now if you happen to like the Template -LET'S CUSTOMIZE IT!!
Let's start it in the special section of the template where you can add some Html codes.
Simply find this code:
<!-- START[Home Page Section]-->
Don't forget CTRL+F to find it at ease!And simply add your Html codes below the code given above.
THE NAVIGATION BAR is one of the most important part of your blog.It allows your readers to easily access the pertinent information in your blog/website.It can be divided into parts we usually call TABS.Simply find this comment "
<!-- NAVIGATION BAR LINKS -->
" and add the URL of your post or it can be the url of a particular label.
One thing you'll notice on my Home Page is that only the post titles are shown -Its good to know that Antonio has already provided that.If in case you didn't like the theme and you also wanted to show only your Post Titles on the homepage heres how [Go Here].
The best thing in the these template is the Adsense code location.Don't worry you don't have to insert such codes -it's already provided when you download this theme.Antonio Lupetti changed the Adsense code location.When you're using Show Ads Between Post in your Adsense widget where ads are placed below the post -but with his code it can be placed under your post title which means you can blend it with the theme to lull the eyes of your readers.I recommend you of blending it with the theme and in just two days you'll improved the number of clicks/CTR like what I just did.
That's all for now! What can you say about my new template?
