Blogelina's Blog Makeover (or Set-Up) Package Only $79 ($285 value)

Today, August 29th, is the official launch day for Blogelina's brand new Blog Makeover & Set-Up Service.

Tanya @Blogelina is a wonderful resource for all your blogging needs. I can't even begin to tell you how many great tips I've gleaned from her site.

Now, Tanya wants to take the "stress, headache, and time investment (not to mention the cost) out of setting up or making over your site" by doing all of the hard work for you! 

This is what Blogelina will do to get your new blog look up and running:

• Set you up with a free year of Deluxe Web Hosting ($80 - included in this package, if you need it)
• Install WordPress on your domain (if you have already – domain purchase not included)
• Install your choice of Studiopress themes ($80 – included in this package!)
• Install 10 important plugins to keep your site running smoothly ($50 - included in this package!)
• BONUS! The Basics of WordPress e-book ($25 – included in this package!)
• BONUS! Access to 40+ WordPress video tutorials ($50 – included! We don’t leave you hanging when it comes to using your new site)

That's over $285 of value for only $79 for a limited time! (regular price will be $99) That means it would cost you more to do the makeover yourself than to allow Blogelina to do it for you!

This service is good for both established bloggers wanting to stand out from the crowd and take their blogs to the next level and those just getting started with blogging that want to begin on the right foot without all the guesswork.

Your Opinions...Please?

My husband and I have been talking about the future of our blog and what direction we should go. We do have a goal to use our blog as a way to help & bless others, but also be able to supplement our monthly income either through sponsorship or review/giveaways of products we use.

So...

How can we make this blog helpful for you? If you've been around awhile, what types of posts do you like? Which ones turn you off?

What would you like to see us blog about? Families, faith, natural living, great products, deals, crafts, healthy eating, etc.?

We'd REALLY like your input as we look to make our blog more helpful to you and meet our own goals as well.

Please, leave us a comment or email us at a_heart4home @ yahoo . come (remove spaces).

Learn how to publish your blog's button with a text box for the button's html code. Hundred's of bloggers have had wonderful success with this simple tutorial!

Blog Button with Text Box for Code

I'm sure you've seen lots of blogs that have a button like this with a scrolling text box underneath that houses the button's code. This makes it easy for other people to place your blog's button on their blog and link effortlessly to you.

Although this is relatively easy, it was difficult to find directions that worked and were easy to understand. To place a button with a text box for code on your blog you need to have a button saved on the Internet (we use photobucket) and the following code. (This code has been tested for Blogger.)

In Blogger under Layout, choose to add a gadget. Choose HTML/Javascript. In the title box, type something like "Get My Button". Now simply copy and paste the code below into the text box. Replace the colored information with your blog's information and your button's web address (for more information on how to get a web address for your button click here). Save and position the button where you want it. Save your changes and view your blog.

<center><a href="http://YOUR WEB ADDRESS/" target="_blank" title="BLOG TITLE"><img alt="BLOG TITLE" src="http://IMAGE WEB ADDRESS"/></a> <center>
</center>
<center><textarea id="code-source" rows="3" cols="13" name="code-source"><center><a href="http://YOUR WEB ADDRESS/"><img border="0" src="http://IMAGE WEB ADDRESS"/></a></center></textarea></center>

Make sure that there is only one http:// before your web address and before the image web address. If you copy and paste you may need to delete an extra http:// in order for the code to work. 

You can adjust the height and width of the text box by changing the values after the rows= and cols= places in the code above.

Here's an example of what the code will look like with the information filled in.

Add here's what the gadget section should look like on your blog.

Now, go add a button to your blog so all your readers can place it on their blogs. While you're at it, why not get our button?

What to know how to leave an embedded link in a comment?

Please, let me know if this post was helpful to you. If it doesn't work, please, double check the code to make sure you haven't accidentally deleted something. Still need help? Leave us a comment and we'll try to help you figure out the problem.

Many people have asked how to do this in Wordpress. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no idea since I've only used Blogger. Sorry, guys!
