'What's in a name? That which we call a roseBy any other name would smell as sweet.' -- Romeo and Juliet (II, ii, 1-2)What’s in a name? Well, pretty much everything. An identity is directly connected to a name. Shakespeare was being philosophical when he wrote the famous dialog quoted above. You may indeed call a rose a skunk and it would still smell as sweet. However, that would create confusion, not to mention that a lot of people would disagree with you.When it comes to naming a website or blog, the name is a primary determining factor of the site’s potential popularity or success. For instance, if you have a website or blog that focuses on children's toys, you obviously should not name it as adult-toys.com...

If you are planning to have a Roman holiday this Christmas, you might end up being frustrated in finding Rome accommodation (pun intended). Rome is one of the busiest cities this time of year.

Have you ever wondered how to host your Blogger/Blogspot HTML template codes? Well, there is the option of posting them on your blogsite or website. But then, in order to do this, you must first have to change the arrow brackets of the tags so that they can be displayed as texts.

For details regarding this, you may read this related post: Displaying HTML Tags. After replacing all the arrow brackets, you can then post the template codes on your site.

| Menu Bar with CSS Definitions |
| 2007-12-12 02:40:00 |
(Related Topic: Adding a Menu Bar)Menu bars are the basic navigation tools of a website. Menu bars allow the visitors or users of a website to conveniently navigate from one page to another. Without the menu bar or any other navigation links, all the contents of a website have to be placed on the front page. This would be tantamount to printing a whole book as a long scroll rather than the more practical leaf-page format. The menu bar is comparable to the index or table of contents of a book. It allows the readers to find the particular page or contents that they want. Thus, the need for scanning the whole book is eliminated.Even blogsites may need menu bars for easy navigation. For instance, this blogsite features a simple menu bar located at the top portion of the header area. This menu ...

As the name implies, this style sheet is a layered style sheet. This means that different formats can be implemented using different attributes. CSS is an extension of the HTML language. CSS allows generalized formatting of a web document without the need for individually tagging each element. Basically, CSS provides the general formatting for the texts, graphics and layout a HTML document or web page.You can consider CSS as some sort of generic formatting tool that is much similar to the formatting tools of word processors.

Depending on your skills and creativity, there is virtually limitless range of design variations that you can implement. Unlike other blog hosting services, such as Wordpress, Blogger does not require you to pay fees to modify the templates. However, there is a downside to this. Blogger does not provide readily available professional looking templates, such as three-column layouts or templates with built-in navigation bars. Consequently, if you want to modify the Blogger template and extend its functionality, you either need to download templates from other site or directly edit your own template.

If you like your blog posts to be truncated without actually eliminating a single word, then the "collapsible post" option is the best option for you. This option allows your blog post to be partially displayed on the main page of your blogsite. In this manner, only the first paragraph or selected paragraphs will be displayed. Some blog readers do not have the patience to scroll down on your blog posts to find the articles that are interesting to them. The collapsible option allows your readers to conveniently scan your main blog posts. Your readers will be able to read the rest of the post by simply clicking the "Read More..." link at the bottom of each article post. In my Much Ado About Nothing blogsite, I have used the "More Blasphemy..." link. You can actually customize this link by ed...

On the other hand, when it comes to blogging, most people want to be noticed. Nonetheless, it is not as easy as it may seem.
