1) Firstly, you need an account at Neobux. Register an account and log in.


Enter your username, password, secondary password (optional, depends on your registration) and verification code. Click "send".

2) Once inside your account, look at the top of the website.


If advertisements are available, there will be a green box with a number (indicating the number of ads available, normally 4) beside "View Advertisements". Click on it.

3) After that, you'll see boxes that represents each available advertisement.


A yellow star below the box indicates that it's not clicked for the day yet. A gray star indicates that the advertisement was already clicked. It refreshes daily, so it's advisable to log in daily to view the ads.

To view a particular advertisement, click on the box.

4) Then, click on the red dot that appears at random locations within the box.


It's usually a red dot, but since it's Christmas when this screen shot is made - Neobux changed the red dot to a Christmas ornaments. Still works the same.

This method is obviously to prevent bots and requires a human interaction.

5) After clicking on the red dot, a new page will appear on the browser. That's where the advertisement website loads.


The loading of each advertisement will take about 30 seconds or more, depending on content of the website.

Wait for the progress bar to be covered with yellow. While waiting, do not view other advertisements. It's supposed to be viewed one by one.

6) After the progress bar is completed, you'll see an advertisement validation.

Getting a Domain or a Web Hosting, or Both

Difference between getting a domain or a web hosting, or both.
Why purchase a custom domain name?
Why purchase a web hosting?
Can I just purchase a custom domain for Blogger?
Why purchase a custom domain and a web hosting?
Explanation of getting a domain and a web hosting.


---

Why purchase a custom domain name?

You purchase a domain because you want your website or blog to have a better link address. Unlike having a totally free blog on Blogger.com or Wordpress.com, where you're given a sub-domain like "abc.blogspot.com" or "abc.wordpress.com".

Getting a custom domain is basically about making it cooler, and probably shorter without the "blogspot.com" and "wordpress.com" extension. That means you get to have "abc.com" or "abc.net" etc.

---

Why purchase a Web Hosting?

Getting your own web hosting means you're having your website hosted, but with a fee included. You can pay it monthly, or yearly depending on your preference. However, sometimes it'll be cheaper if you pay yearly.

When you're on Blogger.com or Wordpress.com, you're actually hosting your blog on their site. Furthermore, it's free-of-charge and you don't have to worry about the hosting issues. You'll only be given the blogging interface and you blog, that's all.

But when you're on an external web hosting, you'll need to download a blogging platform (Wordpress is the common one), install it on the web host, set up your database, redirect your domain and blog.

---

Can I just purchase a custom domain for Blogspot?

Yes you can. If you have a blog on "abc.blogspot.com" and you purchase "abc.com", both links will bring you to the same blog/website.

In fact, you can purchase it via Blogger itself. Read: How to buy a custom domain for Blogger.

In this case, there's no new blog or old blog when you've only bought a domain for your Blogger.com blog - it's actually the same. Just the address has changed.

---

What about purchasing a domain and a web hosting?

For this matter, you'll have to host a self-hosted Wordpress (or your preferred blogging platform) blog, unlike Wordpress.com and Blogger.com.

If you get a web host, downloaded and installed Wordpress, it's a new Wordpress blog. (Click here to download Wordpress from Wordpress.org)

Don't worry about leaving your old Blogger.com blog posts, because you can import your old entries - there's a function in Wordpress that allows you to import entries from other blogs.

After you've gotten yourself a web host, "abc.blogspot.com" and "abc.com" (or any new domain) are two DIFFERENT websites.

Take note: Wordpress.com and Wordpress.org are not the same.

---

Simplified Explanation

Blogger with added domain = Same house, new address. But still use the old address.
Migrate to self-hosted Wordpress = New house, new address. Old address will bring you to your old home.

How to customize Facebook Like Button?

3) To change the font, change "arial" to either "lucida+grande", "segoe+ui", "tahoma", "trebuchet+ms" or "verdana". Decide which is suitable for you.

4) To change the colour scheme, change between "light", "dark" or "dark". It represents the background colour your blog uses. If it's light colours use "light", if it's dark use "dark" and "evil" is somehow the same.

You want to add a permanent signature or a picture at the end of each of your blog post, here's how.


Firstly, go to Dashboard > Design > Edit HTML. Then click Expand Widget Templates.

Search for this code:

<data:post.body/>

You'll need to include the signature below this code. There are 2 types of including signatures - Text and Image.

---

Signature 1 - Text

Then write your signature text below the <data:post.body/> code, and preview it so that you can make adjustments.

If it appears on the line right after the blog post ends, you can include <br/> before the signature text so that there will be a space between them.

That's it if you just want to have a text signature at the bottom of each of your blog entry.

---

Signature 2 - Image

You want to have an image as your signature, you should add this code below the <data:post.body/> code instead.

<img src='http://imagelink'/>

Replace the http://imagelink with your signature image URL link.

By default, it's aligned to the left.

To align it to the center, use this code.

<center><img src='http://imagelink'/></center>

To align it to the right, use this code.

<div style='text-align: right;'><img src='http://imagelink'/></div>

Remember to replace the http://imagelink with the your image URL link.

Preview, make adjustments with line break code - <br/> - if necessary. Save it and you're done.

---

If you want the image to have an invisible background, meaning that you just want the signature image/text to be displayed only without the background - you'll have to create one for yourself (with Photoshop) and save it as .png or .gif file without any background layer.

Blogger New Commenting Feature

Blogspot has a new feature implemented again - this time it's a new feature for comments.

Now you can manage the comments received on your Blogger blog. It will be with one of the tabs with the other navigation, such as Edit Post, Settings, Designs and Monetize.

Here's how the navigation bar look now.

With the commenting feature, now you can easily check on published comments, comments that are awaiting moderation and spam comments.

To be honest, it's almost like Wordpress now - except Wordpress has a "Trash" are once you deleted a particular comment, probably just in case you want to recover it back.

But when you delete comments on Blogspot, that cannot be undone.


This is how the "Published" section look like - with complete information such as comment author, commented blog post and the date.


Comments "Awaiting Moderation" section. It's self-explanatory.


And lastly, the "Spam" section. Haven't gotten any in my spam inbox right now, hopefully it works against automated spam comment bots.

Take note: It's not implemented on all blogs, yet. Only a handful of blogs has this feature - probably all will have it in the near future.

Where to purchase custom domain for Blogger?

Firstly, head to:

Enter the domain address you desire and check on its availability by clicking on the blue button beside.


Take note: Your readers won't be left behind!


So there's no need for your readers to change your link on their blog roll because it will be automatically redirected to your new domain.

After checking its availability, you will redirected to a new page with information regarding the domain.


If you noticed below, there's a phrase "Powered by GoDaddy.com" or "Powered by eNom". These 2 are the domain registration partners of Google. Click on "Learn more" to switch between them. I would suggest GoDaddy.com.


Then, continue with the registration.

Enter your domain name information and remember to check "Automatically renew my registration every year" if you want to keep this domain.


Follow the rest of the instructions and it's pretty simple. Do remember to have your credit card/debit card ready as well.
