This tip explains how to generate and submit blogger site map to Google webmaster tools:

Before doing this,let me say what are site maps and how they will help us.The reason we use them is,they will help Google bot to crawl,index pages of your site and tell you if there are any problems when they try to index it.It also helps you to know,how many pages exactly are indexed,and what people searched in the search engine to visit your site.

3.Next,it asks you to verify your site.It is just to confirm whether you are the owner or not.

CLICK on the 'verify your site' link.Next,
4.There are two ways to verify your ownership but, there is only one way for the blogger users to add a meta tag.

5.Copy the meta tag.

Now,sign into your blogger account>click the layout button>Edit HTML and paste the meta tag just after the head tag and save the changes.

and click the verify button in the Google webmaster tools and there will be a confirmation message saying that you have successfully verified.

Now,you have to submit a site map for Google to crawl your site.Go back to the Google webmaster dashboard or (home) and click the 'Add' link which is next to your blog name and in the Site maps column.Then,you see this,

Follow those steps to show your logo/favicon in blogger

1. Create a favicon, from a image/logo that you like then with Favicon from Pics convert it in .ico file.

Slined Mod 2.0 Blogger Template

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 6 Mar 2009 14:53:00 +0530

One of the best four column blogger templates that was built for wordpress by Dandyna and is now available for blogger thanks to Jack Book who ported it.
This template looks extremely futuristic and would probably suite an electronic music or game blog the best. Of course don't leave it up to my judgement if you like this template you can go ahead and download it.

It has a big space for the header image or blog title with a neat set of links that form the navigational menu above it. There is one sidebar on the left and two on the right hand side.

The template has the colour black as its primary color while it has neon strips running on top of the headers of the sidebars and navigational menu. Its a lovely template for a blogger who has a lot of content to showcase, if you like you can go ahead and download it!

The Four Column 02 Template

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 6 Mar 2009 14:52:00 +0530

Am glad to have another good four column template on the blog, searching for them is rather difficult but Gosu Blogger just gave us a new one.
The O2 2.0 is originally a three column blogger template but now we have an additional column added to it on the left hand side.

The rest of this template remains the same except the fact that the post date has been removed by Gosu because of an error in the template but that doesn't stop it from being a gorgeous template.

There is just one little issue with the template, in Opera the extreme right hand sidebar header sticks out of the body, it does not look like an error actually it kind of looks quite neat, like an additional feature.

The dominant colours of this template are white and blue, and has a lot of sections even when it was in the three column version. Now you have another full section to add more functions to your blog.

Neosapien

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 6 Mar 2009 14:50:00 +0530

The Neosapien is an attractive template originally designed for wordpress by wpdesigner and ported to blogger by blog and web.

This is a nice template, although you might find the image to be rather big for your blog. It can be customized of course and replaced with your own header image.

If you have not yet noticed this template is a four column template. It has the main menu buttons above the header image, there is a small sidebar on the left. Its quite narrow, you can probably have your labels in there.

The sidebars on the right consists of one fat sidebar and one thinner one. If you see the template has one red stripe going across it, this feature is also repeated in the buttons above the header.

This template can be used by bloggers who have a lot of content to showcase. I feel if you could customize or move this blog to a higher resolution you would be able to make use of the space even better. You need to use the following code to modify the menu buttons in the header.

Zinmag Tribune, a 4 column template, has two navigation bars, the top one above the header can be used to put your contact, home, archives links etc. While the one below the header has a dropdown menu to put all your categories and sub-sections.

The header is simple with the subscribe to your feed option on the right side of the text. A useful feature on Zinmag Tribune is the content scroller, where you can place your featured content or top posts. Below it is a content glider, which is quite appealing. When you hover on the image, the headline and a small description of the post appears at the bottom, and of course your readers can glide through your latest content.

Then are four boxes to add more content and each one has the expandable post feature enabled, and after that is another mini-post section, Zinmag Tribune definitely has lot of features. The top of the sidebar has video section too, so all your favorite videos can be uploaded here. A regular feature on many blogs is an ad section to put your sponsors or display ads.

Kubrick Blogger Template

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 6 Mar 2009 14:40:00 +0530

Four column templates are not really easy to find for blogger, so when you come across a four column made by someone who's from your hometown Goa. Created a four column template for download it makes it a rather strange coincidence.
This template is based of the Kubrick blogger template and is rather simple, its creator Derek Cordeiro has mentioned that it might not be perfect but and may have a couple of bugs, but if you take a look at the demo, it works flawlessly.

A four column template is recommended for a blog that has a lot of content to showcase, if you are not sure if you would require so many columns I suggest you look for a well made three column template instead.

Although with a bit of customization, especially the header image this template will manage your blog space quite well. The date script has been picked up from Jack Book so the same time stamp format changes need to be done.

Overall its a nice clear cut template that needs a header image that would suit it.

It has 2 navigation bars above and below the header. Then comes the featured post section, where you can have a top post with an image, and provide links to rest of the featured content, a good feature to keep your readers engrossed.

The main column is simple with labels appearing under the post. Now moving on to the sidebar, Alpha has a Feed section to give two options to your readers, namely subscribe by mail or feed, below that is ad space. The sidebar branches into 2 columns to display the rest of your content.

If your blog has lot of content, then you should consider Alpha, although its a single colour template.

Ele blogger template is brought to you by Inspired Spark and converted to Blogspot by Girly Blogger.
This two column template has a simple look and design with rounded corners, something which many bloggers prefer. The header has a flowery design with the menu bar overlapping the header. Below the customised menu you can place your Adsense ads.

The main column has a standard format, you can alter the size of the date stamp, I feel its too big. While at the bottom of the post appears the author name, which is not clearly visible, labels and comments.

The sidebar has the RSS and technorati buttons nicely tucked in and two ad slots below it, while the rest of the layout is pretty much the same. Blog Archives if you notice, has a dropdown unlike the regular style. If you have a personal blog, then Ele template is a good choice.

Blak Magik

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 6 Mar 2009 14:34:00 +0530

Designed by Productive Dreams, the Blak Magik theme has been converted to blogger by Ipiet. Its one of those themes which has minimal design but is yet attractive.

Blak Magik is a 2 column template with a neat and simple layout comprising a dark wooden background. The header can be customised to fit in your image, and there also top links included in the right side of the header, which also has the RSS button and seems like a slightly flawed hover on display. Below that is the menu bar on the left that has a simple hover on color change and a neatly designed search box.

The main column is simple but the comments icon is quite interesting; the number of comments appear as a splash. Then you have the headline below that is author name, labels and date stamp. Each post area has been divided with a nice design that makes it quite prominent.

The sidebar can be used to create your labels section, archives, about me page etc. All the sections have a wooden header, while the footer allows you to place some stylish links on the bottom right. Blak Magik template is meant for bloggers that are not looking for too many features in their template, but a stylish design.

Zinmag Primus

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 6 Mar 2009 14:25:00 +0530

Another fantastic addition to the collection of Blogger templates, the Zinmag Primus was originally designed by Jinsona Design and ported to blogger by Falcon Hive.

The Zinmag Primus template is an update from the Zinmag Remedy, the Zinmag Remedy had a manual click slider for the featured content this has an automated version with a start and stop button.

The template features two dropdown menus with categories and sub categories, located above and below the header section. The header section consists of the blog title and an advertisement. Under this is the feature post automatic slider and then the template is divided into the main cloumn and sidebar.

The sidebar starts off as a single column and is divided into two section later on, while the footer has four columns! The template comes with a twitter button and a tag cloud in the sidebar.

Apart from this the template lacks icons and has a sort of minimalistic design which ofcourse will help load speed, but the feel of it does not match up with the beautiful header section. I would personally tweak the design of this template a little bit before I use it. But its wonderfull no doubt, go ahead and download it!
