When bloggers that are using Blogger
have more than one JavaScript library (jQuery, MooTools etc) on their
blogs, sometimes they get weird conflicts and sometimes they don’t if
they are very lucky!
Yesterday however was not the lucky day for one of my visitors. She had stumbled upon my pure CSS-based emoticons for Blogger
tutorial blog post and wanted to have those similar emoticons on her
blog. She had perfectly followed my installation instructions but to her
dismay, those pure CSS-based (made possible jQuery) emoticons failed to
appear on her blog and she came back to me for some answers. Today, I’m
going to provide some for her! :)
Why sometimes we get conflicts with our jQuery plug-ins?
Let me quote something from jquery.com:
The jQuery library, and virtually all of its plugins are
constrained within the jQuery namespace. As a general rule, "global"
objects are stored inside the jQuery namespace as well, so you shouldn't
get a clash between jQuery and any other library (like Prototype,
MooTools, or YUI).
That said, there is one caveat: By default, jQuery uses "$" as a shortcut for "jQuery"
Yes, the culprit that caused all those weird conflicts is indeed ‘$’!
Thankfully, such conflicts can easily be resolved by calling upon the jQuery.noConflict() method. Let me show you an example.
How to solve Blogger’s jQuery conflicts with jQuery.noConflict
In my pure CSS-based emoticons for Blogger tutorial blog post, the
JavaScript code snippet that causes conflicts to one of my visitors is
the one shown down below.
<script type='text/javascript'>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.post-body, .comments').emoticonize({
//delay: 500,
//animate: true,
//exclude: 'pre, code, .no-emoticons'
});
})
</script>
To solve the conflicts once and for all, just replace the whole code snippet shown earlier with the following down below.
<script>
var $j = jQuery.noConflict();
// Use jQuery via $j(…)
$j(document).ready(function(){
});
</script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery('.post-body, .comments').emoticonize({
//delay: 500,
//animate: true,
//exclude: ', pre, code, .no-emoticons'
});
})
</script>
Pay attention to those marked in red and green. The one marked in green is where we call upon the assistance of the jQuery.noConflict()
method and it is must be placed right AFTER you call upon your
JavaScript libraries (in your Blogger template) and BEFORE the code
snippet that is causing the conflicts. The ones marked in red
are where we replaced those conflict-making ‘$’(you would understand
better after comparing the BEFORE and AFTER versions) with ‘jQuery’.
To my visitor
that is having problems with her pure CSS-based emoticons jQuery
plug-in, you may now save your Blogger template and enjoy your new
emoticons. :)
Even though the examples shown earlier are to help one of my visitors
solve conflicts that are caused by her pure CSS-based emoticons jQuery
plug-in, the lesson that you have learned here today can also help you
resolve conflicts created by other jQuery plug-ins. I strongly recommend
bloggers that are fond of using JavaScript libraries (jQuery) on their
blogs to read and master other noteworthy techniques that they can also use to resolve conflicts between their jQuery plug-ins and other JavaScript libraries.

There was a time when
Twitter wasn't a popular form of social media.
Quite a few people would have had a
Twitter account prior to it being
popular, and perhaps never used it. Its popularity these days as a form
of social media has seen more users than ever before jump on the Twitter
bandwagon.
Twitter is excellent because it allows you to give short and sharp
pieces of information to potential customers. In this day and age, when
our attention spans are extremely short when it comes to looking at
things on the
Internet,
Twitter is perfect, and whether you are new to Twitter or a seasoned
pro, there are plenty of benefits to be had for your business.

Many companies now have websites, be it a small website that just shows
their location and contact details, or a very large information based
site, or all singing and dancing shopping cart solution with thousands
of items available to order online.
Yet, many companies are reliant on their web designer or a web
development company to keep these sites up to date and implement changes
that a customer may want them making to their site. Now this is not
down to the web company just wanting to make more money, it is down to
the fact that a little knowledge can cause a lot of damage, and if you
had full access to your site then with a few misplaced clicks, you could
cause terrible damage to your website, which your web design company
would then have to charge to put right. So, most websites are limited in
how you can update them for a good reason.

Anyone who has kept a blog for some time or who writes for a living has
likely experienced that feeling of no inspiration. There’s absolutely
nothing left in the tank – even all the rubbish ideas have been used up
and you are left feeling unmotivated. It is at this point that sometimes
blogs can get abandoned, as constantly thinking up new ideas is hard
work and tiring.
My first stop when I get to this stage is usually Google News. Just
having a read through some of the top stories can trigger a hook to link
one to the theme of your blog,
and if you optimise properly, you could even get on top of some of the
traffic for that particular story. It is easier said than done, however,
and there aren’t always big stories around that are relevant.

Sitting most of the day is not good for your health. Experts say it is
better to stand rather than sit while you go about your daily work. This
usually means raising your computer monitor to eye-level, and elevating
the keyboard and mouse to a height that is easy to use from a standing
position. This has led to the growing trend of creating “standing office
workstations.” However, there are other things bloggers can do to
counteract the effects of sitting all day.

Keyword research is one of the fundamental parts of any search engine
optimization strategy. Before you start trying to get to the top of the
search rankings, you have to decide which search terms you want to rank
well for. Ideally they should be relevant to your topic, so searchers
find what they were looking for, popular enough to bring in a good
stream of traffic, but not so competitive that ranking well is
impossible.

PageRank or PR is by far the most common measure of the quantity and
quality of links leading to a particular website. It usually appears as a
whole number from zero to 10, with all new sites starting off at zero
and only the biggest of the giants getting the full score. Google.com
has PR10 but Youtube.com only gets PR9.
A well-established, reasonably popular blog that has put some effort
into publicity and link building might end up with a PR3 or PR4 homepage, but for anything beyond that, a long-term, focused campaign usually has to be mounted.

A lot of online entrepreneurs seem to be having trouble finding
potential customers who will buy their services or products nowadays.
Well, the main reason behind this problem is the fact that most of these
entrepreneurs do not generate a lot of leads through their blogs.
Although having leads on social networking pages is good, blog leads are
actually much more powerful in the online world.
1. The first thing you need to do in order to generate blog leads would
be to find out who your target audience will be. After all, they are the
ones who will influence your work in the long run. So, before starting
your marketing campaign, try to figure out who you want to market to,
and think about their problems and goals.

Just about anyone can blog. But not everyone can blog well. There are
several factors that go into setting your blog apart from the millions
that are out there competing for attention. Here are 5 tips that you can
use to make sure that blog stands ahead of the crowd:-
1.
Self-host
Self-hosting your own website is one of the easiest ways to give your
blog more credibility. It’s a lot easier for readers to remember a
website that is
www.yourblogname.com over
www.yourblogname.blogspot.com.
It also shows that you take your blog more seriously than someone that
is utilizing a free blog site. And these days, it’s relatively cheap to
host your own domain name. HostGator, Dreamhost, and Bluehost are three
hosting companies that charge you about $10 a month (or less!) to
self-host your website.
