Submit blogger sitemap to yahoo

submit your blogger sitemap to Yahoo.By submitting your sitemap to yahoo, they will index your web pages in yahoo search engine and provide you with detailed information related to your blog like which pages are linking to yours,popular pages in your site and you can submit and track feeds for your sites. Also,you have the choice to delete any URL of your blog if you won't want to index certain pages of your site. Submitting your site to yahoo is easy and give your web pages more exposure.
All you need is a YAHOO ACCOUNT(ID).However,you don't need an yahoo ID to know the information like how many pages are indexed,etc.But,if your blog is a new one or no pages in your blog are indexed(type your blog URL in yahoo search and see to check whether your web pages are indexed or not), then you want Yahoo id to submit your sites,feeds,etc.

  • Click on the 'Sign in' link which is at the top of the page,see the screenshot below(If you don't have a Yahoo id, you can get one here) and sign into your account.
  • Type your blog URL in the box provided as shown in the below screenshot.Don't forget to replace the 'yourblogurl' with the original URL of your blog and click on the 'Add My Site'

After adding your site,you need to Authenticate(Verify your ownership).


There are two ways to verify your ownership.One is to upload a file to the root directory of your site which can't be possible in blogger.Another one is to 'adding a meta tag' which is possible and the only way to verify ownership for blogger.First,copy the meta tag..


Next,sign in to your blogger account>Edit html and paste the metatag below the head tag and SAVE THE CHANGES,look at the screenshot below. 

                                        
Next,you will get a message saying that 'Your site is pending authentication'

Note:Don't remove the meta tag,they will re validate your ownership by checking your ownership regularly.
Next,go back to the 'Site explorer home', and check the box next to your blog URL and click on the Manage button.    

 
Type rss.XML or atom.xml in the box provided.It helps yahoo to discover more of your site content via your rss or atom feeds and to index your blog pages quickly whenever your blog is updated.Next,click on the add feed button.

How to Delete Your Gmail Account

Naturally you must be logged into your GMail account in order to be able to delete it. If you can't login you can't delete the account; it's that simple. This prevents just anyone from deleting your account.
"... there's no 'undo': once you delete your email account it's gone forever and cannot be restored."

Start out by logging in to your Gmail account and click on Settings:

Once you're there, go to "Accounts and Import":


Part way down the resulting page in the section labeled Google Account settings, click on the link labeled Google Account settings: Read what they say:


 That's the default setup: Gmail, iGoogle and Web Search history. click on "Edit" next to My Products... at the top of that list:



The resulting page lists your options:



Now you can finally see what's going on! The question is: do you want to delete your Gmail account, or do you want to delete the entire account and all Google services?
I'm going to assume the latter, though if I'm wrong, you can see what to select here. I click on "Close account and delete all services" and get this long, complicated survey:


 Ya really want to proceed? Check all the boxes, enter your password again and click on "Delete Google Account", and...


Done....

How to Set Up Google Webmaster Tools on your blogger

Adding Google Webmaster Tools is just as essential as adding Google Analytics. The 2 go hand in hand. With Webmaster Tools you can do a variety of things such as:

1)Submit an XML Sitemap
2)Set Crawler Access
3)See internal site links
4)See Top Search Queries
5)See keywords that earned a clickthrough
6)See external links to your site (backlinks)
7)View site errors in including crawl errors

Get an account with Google (its free) or use an existing one. Then go to the Google Webmaster Tools home page: www.google.com/webmasters/tools Log in and click the add a site button. Type in the URL of your website and click add.


Once you have clicked add your site you will be taken to a Verification Screen with a Meta Tag you will need to insert into the code of your blogger.

Alright, now we need to open a new window and navigate over to our Edit HTML section of our blog. (DO NOT CLOSE THE PREVIOUS WINDOW, OPEN A NEW ONE. Yes, you can get back to it, but just leave it open for this tutorial 
1) Go to http://www.blogger.com/
2) Sign-in and go to your blogs control panel.
3) Click on "Template" (Callout 1 in the graphic below)
4) Then click "Edit HTML" (Callout 2 in the graphic below)
 
Now that we have both our verification code saved from before, and we are in the blogger "Edit HTML" section of the blog we wish to get more information on, we can place the verification code.
1) Find the "" tag in your template. (Callout 1 from the graphic below)
2) Place the code you copied from Webmaster Tools directly below the tag. (Callout 2 from the graphic below)
3) Scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Save Template"
 
Now with the Verification code properly placed and saved we can complete the verification process.

How do I install ERD Commander 2000?

Winternals Software has released a new version of its Em
erg ency Repair Disk (ERD) software. This new version, ERD Commander 2000, has many great features and great new ways to deploy the utility.

The previous version, ERD Commander Pro, created a set of

Windows NT start up disks; however, ERD Commander 2000 lets you create boot disks or a bootable CD-ROM or install ERD Commander 2000 to the local hard disk (like the Windows 2000 Recovery Console--RC).

To install the new version of the software, simply perform the following steps:

  1. Go to the directory to which you downloaded ERD Commander 2000.
  2. Double-click e2ksetup.exe.
  3. Click Next.
  4. After reading the license agreement, click Yes.
  5. Specify a destination folder and click Next (by default, the destination folder is C:\program files\Winternals\ERD Commander 2000).
  6. Click Next to the program folder name, then click Next again.
  7. The system will copy files and registry entries, and the Setup Wizard will start.
  8. Click Next when the license agreement appears again.
  9. Select the type of installation, and click Next.
  10. The system will ask for the location of the i386 folder of a Win2K installation (Professional or Server). Specify the appropriate location, and click Next.
  11. If you have any special SCSI drivers, the system gives you the chance to add them; after you do so, click Next.
  12. You can now set a password to access the installation. Set a password (this step is very important if you've chosen to install ERD Commander 2000 on the local hard disk, but it is also an option if you are creating a bootable CD-ROM), and click Next.
  13. Click Next to create the disks/files.
  14. Click Finish.

If you selected to create a bootable CD-ROM, you need to perform a few more steps. You will have a folder with the following items in it:

  • i386 folder (contains the files used for the console)
  • BOOTSECT.BIN (the file you will use as the boot sector for the CD-ROM)
  • cdrom_is.5 (for Win2K Server) or cdrom_ip.5 (for Win2K Pro)

To create the CD-ROM, start your CD-ROM burner software, and specify the following settings:

  • Use ISO 9660 file system (Not Joliet)
  • Include Hidden files
  • Include System files
  • Disable Version Numbers
  • Set as bootable CD_ROM
  • Set boot sector image to BOOTSECT.BIN
  • Set Media Emulation to Custom
  • Set Load Sector Count to 4
  • Set Load Segment to 07C0 (hex)
If you were using Golden Hawk CDRWIN software, your main screen would look like the one shown in Figure 1, and you would click Advanced Options to set the bootable parts.

Click here to view image

One really neat feature of the new version is that it takes only two steps to change a password.

  1. Use the following command to connect to the registry:

    C:\> registry

  2. Use the password command to change the password:

    C:\> password [username] [new password]

I highly recommend this new version. The old version saved my neck a number of times, and this new version is even better. You can purchase ERD Commander 2000 for $349. An upgrade to ERD Commander Pro is available for $49. ERD Commander 2000 operates on both NT 4.0 and Win2K. For more information, visit the Winternals Software Web site.

Anything you put above the tag <span class="fullpost"> will be the teaser text. The main body of your post needs to go in between the <span class="fullpost"> and </span> tags in order for the “read more…” link to work properly. See image below:



Publish or preview your new post to see your newly created "Read More..." works on your blog.
