So I start focus developing my lyrics blog. I post everyday like crazy for that lyrics blog. Sometimes I post in my SEO blog 3 times in 1 month, but not every month. Because I thought the competition in SEO is harder. Blogspot can't beat website. So I focus in lyrics blog. Then the traffic to lyrics blog increase. I start using ads network to monetize my blog. Not many ads network accept blogspot. My traffic peak at January 2013 when Girls Generation released I Got A Boy album. But at the end of January, Google image change layout, so my traffic for February 2013 was drop. It takes many months to make traffic from Google search the same as Google image. Then at 3rd quarter 2013 the traffic start to hit the wall.

So actually it's impossible to get $1727 in 1 month from my lyrics blog. But it comes from my SEO blog that I don't care about (12 posts in 8 months). In fact I don't place ads at all in that blog. So where it come from? In May 2013 I made post about adsense alternatives. I put referral link in that post, and many people join. And then in December 2013 I got this:

How to Add a Background Image using the Blogger Template Designer

If you have a background image that you want to upload, then follow these steps:

1. Log into your Blogger account and go to Template, press the Customize button on the right side. Once the Blogger template designer has opened, you'll see the Background option on the left - click on it:

2. Now click on the box below the Background image title and it will open a window from where we can select a default background image. On the upper left side of this window, click Upload Image and select the image you would like to use from a location on your computer.

Note that you should use a JPG, GIF, or PNG image that is no more than 300k in size. If your image is too large, then you can use the Kraken.io image optimizer to make the file smaller.

3. After you've uploaded your image, click 'Done' and you'll be taken back to the background menu. Here you will see additional options like: Alignment, Tile and Scroll with page:

• Alignment: change the position of the background image to start either horizontal (left, center, right) or vertical (top and bottom);
• Tile (Repeat): if you want a small background image to fill the page, choose to repeat (tile) horizontally and/or vertically; 
• Scroll with page: the box is checked by default, this means that the background scroll along with the page contents. If you want the background picture to not move as the page is scrolled and stay exactly where it is, uncheck this box.

4. For a background image with plain color in the middle for content, you might want to remove the main and header background. Navigate to Advanced > Backgrounds and type the word transparent inside the Main Background and Header Background box:

5. If the background is smaller than the content area, we can fix this using CSS. Scroll down and click on the Add CSS option, then paste this CSS code inside the box:

body {
background-size: 200%;
}

.body-fauxcolumn-outer .cap-top {
background: none;
}

Note: to change the size of the background, modify the 200% value in red.

Once you're happy with the results, press the 'Apply to blog' button and enjoy the new background for your site.

How to Change Background in a Custom Blogger Template

Sometimes the above options might not appear in some custom Blogger templates if the body.background variable hasn't been defined. In this case, we will need to access the HTML of the template:

1. Go to Template, click the Edit HTML button and click anywhere inside the code area. Press the CTRL + F keys to open the Blogger search box:

2. Paste or type the following tag inside the search box and hit Enter to find it:

]]></b:skin>

3. Immediately before the ]]></b:skin> tag, paste one of the following code snippets:

For a large background image:

body {
background-image: url(IMAGE-URL.png) !important;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center top;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-size: 100%;
}

Note: the no-repeat value prevents the image from repeating either vertically or horizontally. Use background-repeat: repeat-y if you'd like the image to repeat vertically, or background-repeat: repeat-x if you want it to repeat only horizontally. To increase the size of the background, change the 100% value.

If using a repeating pattern, add this CSS code instead:

body {
background-image: url(IMAGE-URL.png) !important;
background-repeat: repeat;
background-position: center top;
background-attachment: fixed;
}

4. Open a new tab and upload your background image to Blogger or an image hosting site, and copy the URL of your hosted image to your clipboard. If you don't know how to do it, please take a look at this tutorial.

After you copied it, replace the text highlighted in blue from above with your image url.

5. Finally, Preview the template to ensure that the background image appears as you want, and press the Save template button to save your changes. That's it!

Using the 8 sites listed above, you have a wide range to choose from when creating a site that really represents you. Given the right tools, designing you blog can be a fun hobby to enjoy that can spark your creativity and improve the quality of your writing. With such a large selection, the hardest part of setting up your new theme will be finding which one you like best.

How To Add an Instagram Widget in a Blogger Blog

If you're not familiar with Instagram, it's a photo-sharing network that can be downloaded to your smart phone as an application. Think of it as Facebook without the status updates. By developing a simple service that does one thing, and does it well, Instagram has become one of the most prominent photo sharing apps on the market.

The great thing about using Instagram is that it's not just for individuals. Businesses and non-profits alike can take advantage of this service to share their day and passions with their dedicated customers and fans. These fans number nearly 200 million active users a month, and approximately 7.3 million new daily posts. That's an astonishing number of potential new customers available for you to capture.

By adding Instagram on Blogger as a widget, you can unleash a new visual aspect of that site and allow visitors to go beyond just words on a page. With the convenience to carry the application around on your smartphone wherever you go, you can snap pictures, apply filters, and upload that content to your profile. From the profile, a widget specially designed for Instagram on Blogger would translate that data and display the image on your site. Even those visitors that aren't members of Instagram could benefit from such a service.

It doesn't matter what you are sharing. Whether you're the type of person that loves to share pictures of your dinner with the world, or business owner that loves showcasing their brand in everyday life, Instagram can work for you. Adding Instagram on Blogger as a widget also offers an incredibly accessible tool for stock photos to use in new posts.

This guide will explain how to add an Instagram widget to your site with step-by-step instructions. The design of your new Instagram widget is entirely customizable and will allow you to modify the background color, font, and how the widget is actually displayed on the site. When you're finished, you'll find that the Instagram widget will blend together effortlessly with your current theme and make your Blogger site truly stand out from the rest.

How to Add An Instagram Widget in Blogger

1. To get the Instagram widget, access the Intagme website here: http://www.intagme.com/

2. Type in your username > select Grid or Slideshow:

3. Select the Thumbnail size of your images (100px is the default) and choose if you want a border around your Photos or not

4. To change the Background Color, simply click on the empty box and pick your favorite color

5. If you want to show the Sharing buttons on your widget, select 'Yes', otherwise, click 'No'.

6. Once you're satisfied with the widget, press the "Get Code" button and copy your code.

7. Log into your Blogger account and select your blog > navigate to Layout and click on the "Add a Gadget" link on the right side:

8. In the pop-up window, scroll down and click on the "HTML/JavaScript" gadget:

9. Paste the code that you got from the Instagme website into the content section and press the 'Save' button to save the widget.

10. Click and drag your widget if you want to change its position and press the "Save Arrangement" button on the upper right side.

And that's it! Now you have your very own Instagram widget on your Blogger blog to share new photos with visitors, and provide just a glimpse of your life when you're away from the computer. To change or add any of the photos that are displayed in the widget, you'll have to go directly through the app itself, or log on to your account via Instagram's website.

Once you're ready to show off your new work, let all your customers or fans know by posting a Facebook link to the site or a tweet about the changes and asking them to follow you. Just make sure that you've added a few photos before making the announcement, so that they have something to look at. After they access your widget, they can like your new photos and interact with you in entirely new ways.
