In var color = "# FFFFFF"; adjust the color of the flash, in this case are white but you can change the color you want, I recommend that you only be a contrasting color to the bottom of the blog so you can see.

How to create a blog on Joomla CMS

9:44 PM | Labels: article, Blog, cms, Joomla, Web

Every person who has decided to create a blog, there is the question: on what it create? There are many blog platforms (LiveJournal, Blogger.com, Ya.ru, etc.), which is completely free to create and start blogging. However, these platforms have some drawbacks - very bad adjustability, strange ads on the pages of the blog, or even impossibility of monetization, etc. Therefore, many bloggers (including myself) go towards the establishment of standalone blog. In this case, you have to pay for hosting, as well as install and configure the engine, but the result is usually worth it - you have almost no way constrained by functional and part of your blog, and monetize a blog is usually much simpler.

So, suppose you decide to create a standalone blog.

The first thing to do - is to take care of the domain name and hosting for a future blog. I advise to use the services of proven recorders (eg, RU-Center or REG.ru), or to register domains through the host. Well, as a host I highly recommend TimeWeb - I use their services for many years and happy as an elephant - they provide a quality service at a very reasonable price. By the way, and the domains they can buy much cheaper than directly from the registrar, besides paying the hosting for a year they'll give you a bonus domain for free.

What kind of CMS (content management system, or just the engine) to use?

From the title of the article easy to guess, I'll talk about creating a blog on a free CMS Joomla, but in fairness mention yet of a pair of engines.

First - Wordpress - is the most popular blogging engine. This is understandable - Wordpress-functional as it is sharpened by the creation of blogs. However, for all its popularity and functionality, Wordpress is very greedy with respect to the server resources, which means that if your blog becomes popular, then you have to switch to more expensive options for hosting services (for example, to place the site on a dedicated server).

The second engine, which I would like to mention - it MaxSite CMS, which is the antithesis of Wordpress-y on the part of the load on the server. It is very easy blog engine, which is quite suitable for a simple blog. However, this engine developed by one person, and to date has such a rich set of extensions as the more popular CMS.

Here we must note that the main reason that I took as a basis for his blog CMS Joomla, and not Wordpress or another CMS - this is what I used to work with Joomla, made her a great number of sites (already difficult to count exactly how many) . Therefore, the article could not be better suitable for such as "accustomed", as I do, the more so that after the completion Joomla works great as a blogging engine.

However, even novice users can use this article as a guide, especially as it is for them written almost all of the introductory part and a section on installing Joomla.

And one more remark kratenkaya before the technical part.

To date, the latest version of a Joomla 1.6. However, she came out recently, and therefore is not as stable as its predecessor version Joomla 1.5. In addition, for the same reasons for Joomla 1.5 has many more extensions. Therefore, in this article, I consider the creation of a blog on Joomla 1.5. However, with sufficient dexterity, you can apply the same principles and for more recent versions of the CMS.

So, doing a blog on CMS Joomla. Where to start?

In general, for there are specific Joomla components for blogging, but I suggest you go a bit the other way. Joomla - is primarily a CMS to publish articles, and it itself is a great engine for your blog. But in the set from scratch for a full Joomla blogopisatelstva lacks some things - comment systems, tags, social, buttons and other details. And I suggest to use as the basis for a blog "native" component for creating articles in Joomla («com_content»), and all what is missing - install and configure.

Installing Joomla

At this stage the detail will not, I think you can handle.

If you choose to use hosting from TimeWeb, you can install Joomla with just one click directly from the control panel account.

Problems should not arise in the event that you decide to install Joomla manually. Joomla installation process is described in great detail on many sites, you should be able to find lots of material on the subject. Also, if you have at-least the minimum experience with installing a CMS, then installing Joomla you probably right - step by step wizard will help even the complete novice. I can also advise address in which case the assistance to Russian-speaking forum Support Joomla, this is a very friendly community that is happy to help newcomers.

But now, the most important - on the extensions that will turn your website into Joomla to turn it into a full-fledged blog. All the extensions described below you can see the work on this very site (at least at the time of writing). All the considered extension of free (as herself Joomla).

The very first thing is to have - a component of comments, which will allow visitors to comment on your blog entries. The best comments component for Joomla. Set it as easy as any other extension for Joomla. You can also install a module that will display on the site given recent comments.

The next thing that distinguishes a blog from other sites - a system of tags.

But the best part of tags for Joomla in my opinion - this component is very easy to install and configure. Together with the component supplied modules, which allow you to display the site's most popular tags, most-read tags, as well as a random set of tags.

Buttons social networking site for

It's time to add to our blog a little sotsialschiny. You want your visitors to leave links to your blog on social networking sites and services? Very well, proceed.

Search "social" extensions for Joomla took me a long time. Despite their abundance, good of them not so much. Wanted something nenalyapistogo and accurate, but at the same time noticeable. In the end I found what I was looking for and found in his blog several extensions of this series, which wonderfully complement each other.

The first thing I advise you to place - this module «Ya.Share». How does this module to work, you can see at the top right of this page. «Ya.Share» allows users to publish a link to the page on services such as, VKontakte, Twitter, Facebook, LiveJournal, My World, FriendFeed, Classmates.

The second recommended me, "social" extension - this plugin «VagrantWeb Social Buttons», see the work that you can at the very bottom of this article. He publishes a few buttons, but they are sufficient in my opinion. The first button allows you to post a link to current article on Twitter, and also displays the number of users who have already published such a link. Next - standard button "I like" on Facebook. Finally, the third button allows you to post a link to a service Google Buzz.

If you have an account on Twitter, on which you want to tell your readers, I recommend to also install the module «FollowMe», which is displayed on your site in the form of cute birds in one corner of the page (I have it at the bottom right). This little bird - a reference to your account on Twitter (my account name you specify in the module settings).

Also, if you prefer, you can install the module TweetXT, which will show a tape of your latest tweets (I have this module is not installed).

Other useful extensions for Joomla

And now a word about the extensions that will be useful not only for the blog.

Plugin Page Navigation Titles instead of the faceless text of the previous and next pages show the names of articles of neighboring notes. This will be useful both for users of the site, and in terms of search engine optimization.

Plugin JUMultithumb - will create thumbnail images in the announcements of articles, as well as in the articles themselves show in beautiful full-sized lightbox image. I advise you to use version 2.5. There's a sense it is true that the development of plug-podzabroshena, and on JED be removed.

Update: Thanks to the discussion in the comments to this article, decided to allow blog readers to subscribe to the RSS-feed not only through an icon in the address bar of your browser (which is present in Firefox and Opera), but also directly from the site. At the same time decided to switch from the standard Joomla-vskogo RSS-mechanism for FeedBurner. So please those who read me via RSS, to register in your RSS-aggregator new address of my feed.

RSS feed for the site

So, for the convenience of tracking statistics on visitors to encourage you to follow my example, to register at «FeedBurner» (registration is not necessary if you already have an account with Google), and create in this service RSS feed for your site.

To make the address bar and Firefox-and Opera display FeedBurner-ovsky feed instead of the standard, you need to start off a standard feed for all the items menu. This is done in the settings for each menu item in the advanced settings. Then you can go two ways - either to install and activate the plugin RSS in URL Bar, or manually register in the site template between and following line

Naturally, instead of the text in italics, you need to substitute your data.

As we already explained in the commentary, just links to the feed in the address bar is not enough because not all browsers support this feature.

Digging into the Joomla I found a good plugin «ITPSubscribe», which allows you to display on the pages of articles blochok that displays not only a link to the feed, but also the form to subscribe to notifications of new articles by E-mail. This form will only work if you use a RSS-feed from FeedBurner. How does this blochok, you can see on this page directly below the article.

That's it.

Very little body movement - and your website with Joomla turns into a full-fledged blog.

How to make the intro to blog

8:48 PM | Labels: article, Blog, HTML, Intro

When you think the first time make sure you blog comes to mind more style Web page with some sort of welcome screen, but then you discover that a Web page is not the same as a blog, and even a blog has too many positive points in favor of a sudden there who want to use these elements of sites to your own blog, this is the case of presentation or intro screens.

Although there are many methods to do some of these require you to create a html document that will be displayed as an introduction, however this is not recommended when trying to position the blog. So experimenting a bit I designed a method by which we will not use additional pages to not affect PageRank, and to avoid damaging the position or be penalized by Google will not hide the contents of the blog, only use two layers, one being the content I'll blog a very low z-index, and one that will be the intro to another z-index but higher, this will make Google bots can read the blog content without problems.

This intro to the blog is simple but can have more items if they wish, it will be at the discretion of each individual, so soon I will only display an image as a button to enter and background music. And attention, which will only be on the cover of the blog to not be annoying to readers, so that when operating on blog posts or pages of the intro is not visible.

Now let's see how to put it first enters Layout > Edit HTML and look for this label:

<body>

Or if you use a template from Blogger Templates Designer then find this line:

Just below either one of them adding:

<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'>

body {margin:0; padding:0; overflow:hidden;}

.entrar, #navbar-iframe, .navbar {display:none;}

.BlogOculto {z-index:-100;} #Intro {z-index:5000;}

#Intro {text-align:center;

background:#000; /* Color de fondo de la pantalla */

position:absolute;

width:100%;

height:100%;

overflow-x:hidden;

}

p.btnEntrar a {

font-size: 16px; /* Tamaño de la letra del botón */

font-style: italic;

font-weight: bold;

text-decoration: none;

color: #1C1C1C; /* Color de la letra del botón */

background: #ccc; /* Color de fondo del botón */

padding: 6px;

border: 1px solid #2E2E2E; /* Color del borde del botón */

border-radius: 6px;

-moz-border-radius: 6px;

-webkit-border-radius: 6px;

}

p.btnEntrar a:hover {position:relative; top:1px; left:1px;}

</style>

<p class='btnEntrar'><a href="javascript:void(0);" onClick="document.getElementById('BlogContenedor').className = 'quitarIntro', document.getElementById('Intro').className = 'entrar', document.getElementById('ElementosAudio').innerHTML = '', document.body.style.overflow='auto' ">Entrar</a></p>

</div>

</div>

</b:if>

And then find the and above it add this:

</span>

Is that all? Yes, that's it, now we're just going to customize it.
In the first code we've added are marked in green as the color aspects that will have the intro, the font size of button, button color, etc.

Then where it says the image URL you can put the URL of the image of the logo in your blog, a welcome picture or other image. The text of the 'Login' button can be changed by anyone else, then I have indicated in bold, or if you want you can replace the button for an image, simply delete the text enter and put in place an image code:

If you do that then you should remove the border and background color of the button marked in green.
But it is VERY IMPORTANT that if you change the text or if you put an image in place, DO NOT change the code purple is around.

Any item to be added to the intro should go before where it says End of intro or content Start of content after the intro. Intros regularly do not have much a matter of presentation and that the less things have improved.

Wherein said margin-top: 200px is the distance that will intro elements over the top of the screen can be changed to another value.

I've put a background music using a YouTube video that I just put in zero values for width and height to make the player invisible. If you want to put background music also then change the ID XXXXXXX the video you want to.
If you want to put a Flash SWF file player code removed (only gray) and instead put the SWF code. But beware, should be removed only what is in gray.
If you do not want to put audio, or even a flash file you can remove the gray or leave it.

If your blog has music that plays when you enter the blog I recommend that you take off the autoplay, otherwise you will hear in the intro of the blog. Similarly, if you have a video or flash gadget at the entrances or within the template will have to follow the steps in this post for the video or gadget is not overpowered.

As a final point, when you go to Layout | Page Elements will also see the intro, but if you click on Login you will see everything as usual.

And now, it seems that's all, enjoy it:)

Obtain seo-links via Twitter

4:07 AM | Labels: article, Blog, SEO, SMO, Twitter

Today found in the English speaking internet fresh and interesting article on how to get back seo-links by publishing posts on Twitter. A good idea in encouraging the development of new goodies, so I immediately ventured to translate it into Russian.

Author of the article - Joshua Odmark

Original - How To Use Twitter As A Content Distribution Network

From the standpoint of the developer, Twitter, thanks to the tremendous capabilities of its API looks promising application. Any malicious hacker could download one of the many libraries Twitter, connect to the API, to unload the popular topics and use them to user accounts invaded by uninvited spam tweets.

But let me explain, or better to quote Superman: "By the great force attached great commitment." Twitter is essentially gave each developer a huge opportunity by opening access to its API. Perhaps you will say that every API has this quality. Nevertheless, having a huge audience and a huge amount of content, Twitter at the moment ahead of the rest. At least until then, until Facebook API does not do his quest (if they do).

From the standpoint of business, API and Twitter's term, in the cunning use it to distribute their content.

How do I link it with search engines?

Several months ago I wrote an article on a topic that has attracted considerable attention and was protsitirovanna more than 100 tviteryanami that is not so much in rasvnenii with other popular articles published on the Internet. But then there was something shocking.

With the button «retweet» the service Tweetmeme I could get a short link that is used for its publication in Twitter. I also spread the story, using their own short link. Having the two links, one created on the site and another, created by his own hand, I set up Google Alerts so as to monitor the activity of citation of both.

If we consider a variety of Web applications, desktop applications and clients for Twitter and, accordingly, a variety of ways to publish tweets, it becomes clear that the short reference when quoting will be changed and thus prevented my attempt to trace their fate on the Internet. To counteract this, I installed a script that checks each day searching Twitter API to quote my article. Then I gathered up all the links it finds tweets. If the link is flashed more than once, I began to watch her in various ways, including Google Alerts.

Idea was to identify every trace left of my article on Twitter. Fortunately, now, quick links are used mainly for Twitter, which allowed me to avoid the potential impact on these other sites.

What I found - a huge opportunity to get back links using Twitter.

Twitter = content distribution = backlinks

You may recall that a link to Twitter are not important for seo, as the service uses the attribute «nofollow» for all links and this is true. Many of my friends who advise companies on search engine optimization litter theories that even if the link is present, this attribute, it still conveys some weight, though not great. True or not, I do not know. But valuable links from citations tweets are not seo-links.

The value of Twitter's API is that it provides free access to your content to millions of developers around the world.

Let's play. You - a cunning marketing specialist, and I - very inventive programmer. You do not know me, and I you.

Say you have published information about Google Wave on a corporate blog and asked his young assistant to publish a Twitter link to your article.

Immediately after your specialist will post a link, I'll make a request via Twitter search API (the beauty of real time) on the theme «Google Wave» and received in response to your tweet. Since I am a collector of content, my clever little script will copy your tweets from Twitter into my local database, Spars link to the post in your blog, and remove the shortened link. I will take the title of your article and publish the results on its website.

Visually, the resulting tweet like this:

JoshuaOdmark: Is Google Wave the next best thing? We think so ... http://9mp.com/Yxe

And the result on my site will be the following:

Google Wave Drips With Ambition. A New Communication Platform For A New Web.

And here is the link back ...

Of course, this is a fictional situation with some conditions, but you see how you can get a link back to using Twitter. The key is to keep your tweets published in the largest possible number of third-party applications. You can achieve this by extracting as much as possible retweets their posts. Each retweet - the ability to get at least one back link. But always remember that nobody likes spammers. Be honest and respect the rules for using Twitter. Retaining your existing subscribers continue to seek new and create avtoritetty account that in the future will justify itself.

Twitter is now one of the most popular companies in the world, as evidenced by its capital. Therefore, focus their work on obtaining a permanent benefit, creating quality content, while continuing to find interested subscribers, and backlinks from retweets will naturally!

And there will be only to observe an increase in search traffic ...

Domain falls on Yandex

11:52 PM | Labels: article, Blog, Search engine, SEO, SMO, Yadex

When you have many domains, it may happen that some of them will be mirrors of other domains. The reason for this may be the same plugs, including those that are loaded by default by your host. You can also send the domain in the mirror, he unsuccessfully sticking particles.

Once I discovered that a couple dozen of my domains has been the mirror of one of my sites that resulted from inaccurate account settings. It was then that I decided to try a little experiment to withdraw them from the mirror.

For each domain, I created a website consisting of a white page, which has not even had a title. On one, however, for a joke wrote a hot letter requesting Yandex unstick domain. All domains are stuck to different ip. And then, just over a month and domains safely peel from each other and from the site, which they were mirrors.

One would think, cheers! Yes, hurray, but not quite, though it is also fixable. Most likely, because the pages did not have titles, and generally they do not, add them to the index through addurl Yandex does not work - says that the site is banned for indexing and allows to read information about what can cause this error: incorrect settings page or search engine spam. Although that page, in which the title was, and the text was also a (reference to Yandex), also banned for indexing. Maybe domains have gone to the baths? But for what? In general, it is yet to be tested, using a pair of such domains at the sites and see whether they will be included in the index.

But, if I understood correctly, to peel a domain, you must create it on site and put down on him external links, then Yandex though not forget, but forgive and return the domain of life index.

Recently read a blog of a man who "goes to work in the Internet", a note on the 11ti reasons to start a blog. He divides them into two categories - tangible and not. Consider this post, and I was like the text will express their opinion (in italics) on certain items. So, for the first (non-material) are the reasons:

1. The idea - explaining the idea, posting it, understand and accept it in some new forms, which in turn generates new thoughts and ideas. This perpetual motion itself for ideas.

2. Friends - The Blog is used to explore new and helpful people, sometimes when it turns out to potential customers. For customers it's certainly the case if a professional blog.

3. Writers' tendencies - when I want to express their thoughts, ideas, share them with people. If you have something to say, then why not.

4. Samopiar - making their names on the Internet, gather like-minded people. It is only logical!

5. Content - such as verification of the theory, that if you write interesting posts, all the rest (readers, popularity, name and money) will follow. In our real-world mercenary is certainly more like the idyll, but you never know.

More material reasons. It even does not seem to reason and direction for the incomes for the blog. Generally when you create a blog, many may even not to think about this and come to this eventually. I've personally at this stage plan to simply create a quality blog with interesting and useful information, to organize more or less stable club readers and friends, and will continue to be seen.

Thus, the basic ways of earning on the blog (cite only a list without comment):

1. AdSense - contextual ads, money goes for clicks from visitors, the method is very simple, but poorly effective for RU and UA blogs.

2. Advertising - selling seats for text and banner advertising.

3. Referrals - advertise different affiliate programs, signing himself refealov in parallel, from the activities of which you are interest. The complexity of ways that one must first achieve the most success in a particular program, and then promote it.

4. Services - can offer their goods and services, such as "will set the mood and the WordPress site for a small fee" or a "For Sale samopisny script for a simple shop."

5. Custom office - all in principle understandable, it is possible to do both independently and through the system (sites), offering to write reviews of the order.

6. Sale of options - can recoup hosting, for example, more promoted resource, the more expensive price for reference. Again, there are special services for this.

I had found another note on the question of "why are all still start a blog. The author, describing the reasons, along classifies blogs. My comments are in italics.

1. Blogs related to the profession. Such blogs are usually created by programmers and other IT-specialists, where you can meet and share helpful tips from the conference and throughout the network, to share their own best practices, as well as interesting details from his experience. My blog, in principle, fit this description most accurately. As for me the most interesting blogs.

2. Blogs of privacy. These blogs, perhaps the majority. I generally tend to share the "diaries" and "blogs", although in fact the concept is very similar. In my understanding, "Diary" - this is the personal notes, that is more oriented for themselves - an analogue of a paper diary, too, some of their own for some reason are. In general, useful information in these blogs are very few, can be used as communication with friends and associates.

3. Blogs problematic. Here the authors present their clever ideas on various occasions. IMHO, a very dubious point in the classification, several parallels to personal diaries.

4. Blogs-compilations. It publishes links to all sorts of things from all over, often without copyrights. The author suggests that it is something like "create your own corner of the network, but as for me, the usual splog (spam blog). Although the book collection of discord, if it is a quality blog - it's just a godsend!

5. Blogs travelers and explorers. In many such blogs resonate with paragraph 2, as they are based on personal experiences of those who lead them. Usually such blogs exist during their stay in the author described the country, and then quietly closed. Also a very specific kind of blog, according to me. Want to add except that there are photo-blogging, which publishes the only (or mostly) pictures some. Here is a format well suited to the variety of blogs.

6. Blogs related to training. This is a blog for people who practice their skills in a particular teaching - foreign languages, trainings, etc. Here you can upload some tutorials, custom development, links to interesting resources.

Of course, this classification is rather conventional, but for informational purposes quite amiss. For more information on the types of blogs you can search on Wikipedia. Causes of the creation for each individual person has his own - for whom an outlet or a testing ground for some own experiments, some attract customers, shares his thoughts and earns his apartment.

By the way, often on the sites pages have a page of type "about the author" or "on the blog, where people sometimes indicate the reasons that prompted them to create your own blog.

Popularize blog Livejournal

One of the key issues in creating a blog - it's choice of platform and location for a future project. It is particularly difficult to do this if you are a beginner blogger and still really can not sort out the features, capabilities and benefits of various options. Not a new topic, I once talked about choosing a hosting for your blog, where readers told a couple of different options for placement and the reasons - if you're new, be sure to read the article. One of the platforms to create a blog is a service Livejournal (Live Journal). This is one of the most popular blogging system in runet, has a very large audience and all the necessary features for blogging. I propose to consider it a bit more detail.

So, Live Journal or the people LJ. Themselves write about themselves developers, this social is united in itself as politicians to businessmen, housewives and journalists. Quite possibly, but a characteristic feature of all the blogs of these people is the "personal" (sometimes even "personal") color publications. So, historically, that Livejournal bolchaya some people talk about some personal moments of life, thoughts, impressions and experiences. Very rarely you can find a strictly thematic blog telling and serious things. Therefore, even if LJ and brings users various spheres of activity, the publications themselves, this manifests itself is not very strong. That is unlikely that a politician will write about the adoption of the Decree, a businessman torn about the deal. Exceptions, in principle, can be, but the probability of their extremely low.

In general, the platform Livejournal increasingly used to reference it is "personal diaries". If you plan to do the same - without the personal thoughts register Learn and create your own blog. LiveJournal also include virtually the most accessible system for the blog:

* First, is free;
* Second, do not require special technical knowledge to work;
* Third, the management of the diary is very simple.

After creating an account you will be able to publish new posts to your personal blog, Livejournal friends with other participants, read, comment on their blog, and more.

Then he offers to customize its blog. Once logged in, Livejournal at the top of the page will find a special menu from which you can manage your LJ and do many other settings.

For example, in the "Profile" you will be able to edit all information about themselves, indicate interests, communication methods, see their friends and the users of LiveJournal, who are friends with you, download and manage avatars, photos. You can also view the statistics of visits to your blog.

The fact that the service Livejournal also has a paid account with a few more available options and opportunities, such as lack of advertising, more avatars. In general, yes even for novice bloggers, would be enough for an ordinary account, without any material cost.

Perhaps the most significant feature of LiveJournal can be called the Community. They allow multiple bloggers unite for various interests. We can say that in this case realized the possibility of a collective blogging, that is conducting a joint project by several authors. In communities can be rangers, moderators, members or ordinary readers, each of which established their rights of access. General community in Livejournal quite unique in its kind option for blogging platforms, which can be recorded in the asset system.

There are, of course, Livejournal many other features and details. This can be said for a long time, but the best way to learn them - to test the practice. If you as a blogger and the future author of all the opportunities Learn satisfied, then we can try to create a blog and start to take him.

Again I would like to focus readers' attention to the fact that when choosing a blog platform should clearly understand the objectives and purpose of your future project. As mentioned above, Livejournal is ideal for conducting "personal diary" of life, communicating with friends and associates. Learn options for setting up though and there, but full freedom of managing online diaries, alas, it will not succeed. Therefore, for the "techies" and want to create professional blog theme I would suggest looking for other platforms. This, of course, also write a bit later.
