Windows
8 is here to stay, and whatever tweaks Microsoft makes in its upcoming
Windows Blue release, many users find the new interface difficult to
master. There is a manual of sorts, though how anyone would ever find it
is beyond me. It's called the Windows 8 End User Training Brochure.
It's a very handy little resource, a 36-page introduction to Windows 8's
interface and operation. Note: Clicking on the "Windows 8
End User Training Brochure" linked text in the article will take you to
the Microsoft page where you can download it.

Why Your Blog is not Earning Money? Possible Reasons Explained!
Most of bloggers on the internet do blogging to earn some money and support their families. I read on several forums people asking for help on how toincrease earning and why their blog is not making money. So I thought to give some tips to my fellow bloggers. I will discuss in detail why your blog is not earning and what remedies should you take to increase the earnings.
8 reasons you can consider when your blog is not making good money. You can write these 8 reasons in a notepad file or somewhere in a notebook etc to remember that you have to work on these points in the future to increase your earning with your blog. The number of reasons I can assume are below:
#1. More Earning needs more traffic:
Blog traffic is defined as the visitors received by a blog. So the first thing you may be lacking is that your blog has not good number of visitors and that is the reason you are not making money.so, if your blog is having low traffic. This is the first reason why you are not earning from your blog.
#2. Low Click through Rate
If you are Adsense or other ad network publisher you would certainly know that CTR stands for click through rate i.e percentage of people clicking the ads. So the second reason why a blog doesn't earn can be a low CTR(no or low clicks on ads).you will earn more when you have good ad CTR.
#3. Low Cost per Click
If your blog traffic is good and you are having a good CTR, and you are still scratching your head why you are not making money. Then, I guess your blog has a very low cost per click. That is you are earning very low for each ad clicked.
#4. How to increase blog earning
We have discussed the probable reasons why a blog does not make money. But it will not be okay if we stop here. Because we have just found the problems and without looking for solution we won’t succeed. So now I will give you some tips how you can make more money from blog.
#5. Use minimum ads
Many of newbie’s are curious to earn quickly and for that reason once they get adsense approval they straight away place ads all around, and they think they will earn more by doing this.
But No! the cost per click also depends on the number of ads appearing on the blog. If you place two ads on home page you will witness different CPC compare to five or six ads on home page. The ads appearing above the folds carries the highest CPC. So never place so many ads on you blog as it will affect your earnings.
#6. Ad placement matters
Ad placements are the positions/places where you place your ads. It also affects your earnings. Always use ads in prominent places so that it catches visitor eye. And whenever possible place text ads near to your content and image ads in header and sidebars.
#7. Use keywords which pay more
If you have used adword keyword tool. You would have certainly noticed that when you search a keyword there is a little column of average CPC.The average CPC is the maximum amount of money an advertiser is willing to pay for a keyword. So use those keywords which have higher search volume, low competition and high cpc.
#8. Your blog niche?
Well, the blog niches also affect earnings. Usually Entertainment blogs have low earning potential compare to insurance, blogging, making money blogs. So always create a blog in a niche which pays higher.
Buddies, this is my first guest post in my blogging career.I have tried my level best to make things crystal clear. Hope you appreciate my efforts. I am thankful to the blog owner Wali khan for giving me the honor to write for an esteem blog.

Reposition Navigation Buttons in Blogger!
The navigation buttons or links that are displayed at the bottom of each comment section in BlogSpot blogs enable visitors to switch between new and old posts or move from one post page to another ordered by date and time. These buttons become less of use when number of comments increase too much. Normally readers do not even observe the navigation deep down and this results in loss of precious pageviews. I have always emphasized that value pageviews more than unique visitors because it is indeed pageviews that turns into revenue generating page impressions both for AdSense or any other Ad Network. You might have seen the More, Next and Previous button showing inside the top black sticky bar on MBT homepage and post pages. It is really not possible to shift a Post data item to any other widget section in blogger. Doing such results in "Data variable not found in dictionary" error or similar.
We played a work around and used Cascading stylesheet Position properties to allocate fixed positions to these buttons anywhere on the page. This is again a unique addition to Blogger Customization and being implemented for the first time. The tutorial today will not only help you change the position of navigation links but will also teach you to install a custom sticky bar just like the one we are using on our blog. We are pretty sure you will find today's tutorial really easy yet delicious!
PS: Tested with Chrome, Firefox, IE9 & Safari.
STEP1: Adding the sticky bar
First comes first. I have already shared a detailed tutorial on adding a stickybar to blogger. Please first install a stickybar on your blogs and then try step#2 of today's tutorial.
- Read: Create a StickyBar!
Note: The style that I am using on MBT is different from that of the tutorial so if you want a similar color theme then simply copy the stylesheet from MBT source file or let me know to help you.
STEP2:
Now comes the interesting part. What we will do here is simply shifting your current Newer, Older & Home buttons to the top left of the stickybar and replace them with more fancy buttons like the one we are using. Follow these steps:
- Go To Blogger > Template
- Backup your template
- Click Edit HTML and then check "Expand Widget Templates"
- Search for the following CSS classes and delete them all: You will find three such classes or more starting with either #blog-pager or .blog-pager
#blog-pager {
------
}
#blog-pager-newer-link {
---------
}#blog-pager-older-link {
----------
}
5. Now after you have deleted them, add the following code in their place:
#blog-pager {
text-align:center;
}
#blog-pager-newer-link {
position:fixed;
z-index:9999;
margin-left:-320px;
top:0px;
margin-top:5px;
}#blog-pager-older-link {
position:fixed;
z-index:9999;
margin-left:-290px;
top:0px;
margin-top:5px;
}#blog-pager-more-link {
position:fixed;
z-index:9999;
margin-left:-20px;
top:0px;
margin-top:5px;
}@media screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0) {
#blog-pager-newer-link {
position:fixed;
z-index:9999;
margin-left:-627px;
top:0px;
}#blog-pager-older-link {
position:fixed;
z-index:9999;
margin-left:-597px;
top:0px;
}
}
What we did in step4 and step5 was simply replacing your old code with the new one.
6. Next search for the following chunk of code:
Note: You are only concerned with finding the two highlighted codes. The code inside them may look different for your template so just finding these two highlighted tags and then follow step7.
<b:includable id='nextprev'>
<div class='blog-pager' id='blog-pager'>
<b:if cond='data:newerPageUrl'>
<span id='blog-pager-newer-link'>
<a class='blog-pager-newer-link' expr:href='data:newerPageUrl' expr:id='data:widget.instanceId + "_blog-pager-newer-link"' title='Previous'>« Prev</a>
</span>
</b:if><b:if cond='data:olderPageUrl'>
<span id='blog-pager-older-link'>
<a class='blog-pager-older-link' expr:href='data:olderPageUrl' expr:id='data:widget.instanceId + "_blog-pager-older-link"' title='Next'>Next »</a>
</span>
</b:if>
<span id='home-link'>
<a class='home-link' expr:href='data:blog.homepageUrl'><data:homeMsg/></a>
</span>
<b:if cond='data:mobileLinkUrl'>
<div class='blog-mobile-link'>
<a expr:href='data:mobileLinkUrl'><data:mobileLinkMsg/></a>
</div>
</b:if>
</div>
<div class='clear'/>
</b:includable>
7. Replace the code inside them with the following code as shown below:
<b:includable id='nextprev'><b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'>
<b:if cond='data:olderPageUrl'>
<span id='blog-pager-more-link'>
<a class='blog-pager-more-link' expr:href='data:olderPageUrl' expr:id='data:widget.instanceId + "_blog-pager-older-link"'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjADQmW8JV6H_vKjPHcSvU1p1iWh2q9jN4Gva1hLYZ-jrdWoddH14fyyiksgbobypkTAWHdLBjb3JxuQU1rN6n9kbZ8r2j3PUBJFaz_YMNf3p9GrJg19lWcuMsAA8gmhekiWFK5kPfFvUov/s400/more.png'/></a>
</span>
</b:if>
</b:if>
<b:if cond='data:blog.url != data:blog.homepageUrl'>
<div class='blog-pager' id='blog-pager'>
<b:if cond='data:newerPageUrl'>
<span id='blog-pager-newer-link'>
<a class='blog-pager-newer-link' expr:href='data:newerPageUrl' expr:id='data:widget.instanceId + "_blog-pager-newer-link"'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_qa93au7qR1u3iBONng65wqFNUR1hLl5jQgQm7aQNmI-QNdmwkVjgvtjOjKIoGrZDZxiNcnPTzI6b7wc19BiXMcRezTfj-5Hqi0_mF3j6Rs4dBnTkLJ5yKRgGXQ4axqKKelxmG_EJlZUz/s400/Previous.png'/></a>
</span>
</b:if><b:if cond='data:olderPageUrl'>
<span id='blog-pager-older-link'>
<a class='blog-pager-older-link' expr:href='data:olderPageUrl' expr:id='data:widget.instanceId + "_blog-pager-older-link"'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEganfiV3BBNw3lf_IE6tg27GXCJCqk2xYOXqgForNGUxF-HfeMJzn5S7GRTkfkc7JkaHiRd0iLkTE42BR7jjYtX38-R7aegxAsNeKRqFnYCOvXSEo_yv_PhkZe1YxzVy7GFRBc_berW58Ks/s400/Next.png'/></a>
</span>
<b:else/>
</b:if></div>
<div class='clear'/> </b:if></b:includable>
It was that easy!
8. All done! Visit your Blog to see it functioning just fine. :)
How it works?
Previous will display newer posts
Next will display Older posts
More will display on homepage alone.- Button More is responsible for displaying the next set of previously published posts. It will show a bunch of posts depending on the number of posts you allowed to be displayed on homepage.
- The other two buttons will help the visitor to navigate between next and previous page. If the visitor is on your newly published post then the Previousbutton will not show up and Next will show alone.
Everything is operated using conditional statements provided by XHTML 1.0.
If you are looking for read more buttons then do check our Icons and buttons categorythat has been downloaded over thousands of times and found on almost every Blogger blog today: Download from here
