Arrange your Comments Avatar with CSS in blogger

Showing the profile image in blogger comments is being popular now a day. But, it comes to have many problems based on CSS code. Many of them are searching for good CSS based codes. As I have got some problem like there is no extra place for profile image avatars. Look at the below screenshot.



 Playing with CSS and having some fun I have a trick for that. Now, look at this solved problem.

Isn't it cool? Of course it is:)

Now how to do it.
First of all Go to Blogger > Settings > Comments and enable “Show profile images on comment” as before.

In your blogger's Edit Html section search for the following code in CSS area.

    #comments-block
    width: 580px;
    float: left;
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
Search only #comments-block for easy (Press Ctrl+F). Now you have to customize that CSS. Change the width 580px to 545px (The width must have different according to your template) and float: left; to float: right; or you can change it's width according to your template.

Now go to Blogger Layout >Edit HTML and backup your template. Don't forget to check "Expand widget templates". And find the following code:


Or if you haven't find the above code, try to find this:


 And finally you found it? Ok then replace it with this.


Now again find this line in code: ( You can find this code easily press Ctrl+F)


And replace it with below codes.










Now Just Go to blogger edit/Html and find for ]]> tag and place the below css codes before it.
/* Avatar */
.avatar-image-container img {
background:url(http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/ad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536?s=35);
width:35px;
height:35px;
}
Of course you can just edit the image link, height and width in above css codes as you like.

And save the template, you are Done! :) Look at my comments how it looks as better than before.
I hope your problem is solved like mine. If you have still some problem leave your comment I will try to solve it. Feel free to ask questions.

Warning: Do Not Turn your Blog to "DoFollow" Blog

“Do follow” is the opposite of “No-Follow”. Wordpress blogs, by default, use the HTML nofollow attribute on links that point away from the blog. This no follow attribute comes into play with the posting of blog comments. The no-follow tag tells the search engines NOT to follow the link to any other web sites. And I suggest you to don't turn your blog to Do Follow Blog. It will be really bad to your blog. Why to turn blog to "DoFollow" blog?
Removing rel="nofollow" will bring the bad flood to your blog SEO and your pagerank. After that you can't find your page indexed in google. Making a blog a dofollow badly divides your PageRank amongst all those who come to comment and leave a link to your site. It turns a blog into a spam spot because people will comment on your blog and spam respectively (non-stop). Not only that Yahoo and Live search, you can't even get them to index your site properly much less quickly. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) can't get you properly and none of you can find your post in Search Engine. I am experienced about it.

Now I am going to tell you my story. My previous blogs Get Blogger Tricks (I changed its domain to blogspotter.co.cc) crawler rate was high. When I post something in that blog, Google can crawl my posts in just less than 2 minutes(For the proof see this post). In that time my alexa rank was increasing tremendously. But now...It is so bad. Neither my blog url is in google nor my pagerank is saved. My blog is not indexed in Google Search. I lost lots of visitors from google and other source. It all happen because rel="nofollow" attribute was removed. I can't believe that removing just a attribute can create this type of flood.

Dofollow Social Bookmark services will  decrease your PageRank and you will loose traffic. So, do it or not at your own risk. I am just giving you a simple information.
Now I have changed my blog's url and name Get Blogger Tricks to BlogSpotter. I hope google will index my blog soon.
Note: It just happen to my blog or your blog also have same problem, I don't know. But I know that I can solve your problem as mine.

Upadted: My blog url is now listed search engine. Thank God!!! :) 


Also see this, google is crawling my blog faster and faster. Look at this.








My latest post Making Flash website using free service. I have check that post's URL immediately in google search after posting that article. It just takes a minute to crawl my blog. It is really cool. My crawler access is going faster.

Create a stunning 3D push button

Nowadays, we can see 3d push buttons nearly everywhere. Most of them are achieved via JavaScript. The main problem of using these scripts is that there are greater chances that they might get blocked by the browser. And with the advent of many ad blockers it has become a serious drawback. In this situation, the CSS comes to rescue. Thought we can’t create 3d push buttons as professional as created by using JavaScript, we can create a basic 3d push button with the help of CSS.



The main CSS commands you’ll need are:
    a.pushbut {

    color:#26a;
    display:block;
    border:1px solid;
    border-color:#aaa #000 #000 #aaa;
    text-decoration:none;
    width:8em; text-align:center;
    height:2em; line-height:2em;
    background:#fc0; font-weight:bold
    }
    a.pushbut:hover
    {
    color:#26a;
    background:#ffd633;
    position:relative;
    top:1px;
    left:1px;
    border-color:#000 #aaa #aaa #000
