Tools for your blogger blog/site.
Many of you know that I have my website on blogger. When creating my site I ran into obstacles that almost caused me to not go through with hosting my blog on blogger.
Like...
How will I add a contact form?
How will I add a flash gallery?
How can I design a professional looking header so my blog can stand out?
How can I add a mailing list?
Unlike wordpress, Blogger doesn't have widgets for these things. If they do then I did not look hard enough but I'm pretty sure I looked HARD.
So while doing my research for contact forms I came across This form is VERY easy to use and very compatible with blogger. Alot of escorts use this on their website. When a clients fills out my form it shoots straight to my email in less than a second and it's ABSOLUTELY FREE!
Flash galleries- So I was reading one of my favorite How-to escort books and came across a flash gallery called Simple viewer. Simple Viewer IS free to use and it is compatible with blogger but IT IS VERY COMPLICATED, At least to me it was. You should use Slideroll. Here is the link >>> . This was very easy for me to use. You can also post your new flash gallery anywhere!
For my professional header I couldn't find anyone I could trust so I asked Kylea here on sw to design one for me. She was free that day after remitting payment ($50-$100) I had some amazing headers and banners within minutes. On blogger you have to upload the banner as a picture not as html. I can PM you examples of mine if you want.
For a mailing list, I used bravenet.com. I pay for the premium services and its an awesome awesome tool for building your fan base.
Hope this helps.
xoxo,
KaylaM

Re: Tools for your blogger blog/site.
Good post girl.
So I googled my name and found that this website pops up first. I'm most likely going to cancel my name here and create a new one so that all my post don't show up under my current screen name. My question is does anyone know how to get there website to show up first on google searches. I want ppl to link to my website instead of here or anything else that my current screen name is listed on.

When I had my first blog it was on the first page of google because I did a great job optimizing my site.
It is called Search Engine Optimization. There is no way to have guranteed placement on google ...
well you can but you'll be looking at thousands of dollars. The simple ..easiest way is to learn SEO
and master it. Here is a great article on icammodel on SEO

That has a lot to do with Keywords and SEO ( Search Engine Optimization), and SEM ( Search Engine Marketing). ... I have to do a lot of that for when I freelance write...I will try to see if I can get more information on that.
Re: Tools for your blogger blog/site.

I highly recommend icammodel's tutorial.

It's easy to get on the first page but being the first on the page isn't :)
and it's there because you did a good job ... :)
Re: Tools for your blogger blog/site.
my best advice? stop using blogger! ugh! its so ancient! use tumblr or wordpress :)
Re: Tools for your blogger blog/site.
Hiya,
My blogspot... I've worked very hard on, I have some connections who have helped make my banners, and done the templates or whatever for me as well. The only, thing i've done was add the "Pages" you will find this under ur "settings." I decided, to use blogspot cause in terms with me it was more user friendly, and easier to navigate and use or what not, instead of using wordpress. I'm currently in the works of making my own website, but i'm going to have someone design that one for me.
Its a project (meaning, it does take to to build in). The context on my pages, I did all of that myself!
You can feel FREE to check mines, out so you can get an idea on how to set up things...

It's really not that "ancient". Wordpress is not for everyone and tumblr? really? no client of a high end escort would even take that shit seriously. So it depends on what you do in this industry. :) I love my blogger blog and so does my clients. It's not about what's in but what works.

This.
Blogger might be considered "ancient" to some but it sure gets the job done and you don't need to host it on your own like you do a wordpress blog. You don't have to host wordpress either BUT most people host their wordpress blogs on their own. Being an escort myself, I agree with what you say about tumblr Ms Kayla, it's all over the place and clients are used to a certain style. It is not a must that everyone has a wordpress blog.
Re: Tools for your blogger blog/site.
heh... Yeah I don't know the whole deal with wordpress but blogger is less confusing to me.
Re: Tools for your blogger blog/site.
I hate wordpress even though my escort blog is currently on there, I prefer blogger too
Re: Tools for your blogger blog/site.
This is gold! Thank you so much.
