Animated Label Cloud Widget

  As a blogger, your aim is to make a blog that is stylish, cool with modern looks but not too outstanding as it may make the blog seem plain again, right? If you don't, then you must be a new blogger! Basically, that is the aim to keep traffic flowing stably and nicely, also helping you to remain your visitors and make them permanent visitors.


  One of the interesting stuff to put in your blogs are widgets, which are sort of like ornaments to your blog. I explained a bit on that before, you might want to check it out. http://arts-inmylife.blogspot.com/2010/08/widgets-websites.html

   Anyway, one of the most famous widgets is the animated label cloud widget, which looks like mine on the left sidebar of my blog. See how it works? The tags hover around the space with no sequence, making it look stylish. The problem is, most people think it looks hard to make that cool thing.


WRONG!
  
  That's why, I am here today to teach you how to make it! This is much different than the other 'copy-and-paste' or 'click-to-add' kind of widgets. This includes a much more complicated step, which is the HTML codes.




Let's get started!
  Firstly, start of by logging in to your blogger account, then click on the 'design' tab, and then the smaller tab called 'Edit HTML' 

   Before you do anything else, click on 'Download Full Template' as a backup set of HTML codes.

  Then, search for the following line:

  How to search? Just click 'Ctrl' + 'F' and a small tab should come out at the top-right corner of the webpage to insert text. Type in the letters one by one until you find it (for me, I didn't have the 'sidebar' so mine was 'main'. Just find the nearest possibility available.)

  Straight away after that line, copy the code from http://www.bloggerbuster.com/2008/08/blogumus-flash-animated-label-cloud-for.html

and paste it there.

Then, preview your template. Works? Good! Then save your work. After that, you should be able to see it in your page elements, so enjoy moving it around anywhere you like.

How to Promote Your Blog for Free!

As a blogger, I'm sure most of you are trying to get traffic flowing into your blog. This is quite difficult in the beginning if you do nothing as a new blog is not widely visited. To enhance your blog's traffic and performance, here are a few tips I can share with you people out there:


Facebook Posts
  Facebook as a social website? Yeah, or so they say. Of course, sharing your link with your friends onto their walls is kind of helpful, it increases your traffic tremendously. I tried it before, my daily views became from 0-10 to 40-90. But of course, this has a bad side of it.


  Every friend who has a Facebook account and saw your posts will say that you spam and they'll hate you for that. If you don't care, well, good luck!


Twitter
  Have a twitter account and plenty of followers? Well, tweet-ing about your blog is helpful too! It has the same effect as Facebook posts, but you have to have a lot of followers to let it have a tremendous effect.


Emails
  Once again, another simple yet effective way to enhance traffic. Sending emails to introduce your blog can help a lot!


Link, link and MORE links
  Linking your blogs to other blogs, videos or other sources can let the whole world see your link. Commenting on other people's blogs or websites and linking your blog, especially famous blogs, can really help.


  Obviously, letting public see your blog link ain't a crime, so why not try it? As long as you don't spam irrelevant comments, its not bad at all.


Put your blog on search engines
Putting your blog on search engines such as Technorati, Google and others makes your blog searchable on these search engines, thus increasing your traffic too.


Install a blogroll
A blogroll is like what I put on the lower right side of my blog, a list of other people's blogs. Saying that these are your friends blogs can bring traffic to your friend and yourself. Simple, yet effective socializing way.


Add comments bar in your blog
Allowing people to comment on your blog makes them give you ideas to improve and to communicate with them. This makes the people who comment permanent visitors to your blog and even followers.


And, the last, but most importantly,
Write well. Writing well is the most important aspect in attracting readers to your blog. That's why they are called readers in the first place!
