Been going round in circles on this - I'm building a simple blog of my various art videos, music etc. SO I want more of a website and less of a blog so consequently I want to hide the Blog Posts and Popular Post widgets from the landing page.
I'm using the contempo blogger theme. By default the Blog Posts and Popular Posts widgets are non removable but you can go into theme - edit html and change locked from true to false and indeed visible from true to false. Click save and in layout it is all looking good but as soon as you load the blog back they come. Something is clearly reloading them - any help much appreciated.
If you need a different landing home page then use the conditional tag.
<b:if cond=’data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl’>
Your content here
</b:if>

So I have been working on a news page for website using Bootstrap Studio (I am new to all of this, only have been using html, css, and a tiny bit of js), and I was just creating individual html pages for each article and manually adding them to a list of articles on a news page. I started looking into it and found the a CMS may be a perfect solution so that I dont need to manually create these pages and can just "create" them in a CMS and somehow import them to my website.
So here is my goal, I want to just have some "recent News" blocks display the most recent articles image and title, as well a dedicated "news" page that displays every article. Also, I want the articles to be displayed on my website, as opposed to linking to an external page.
Is this at all possible, and if so, where would be the best place to start.
I appreciate any and all advice.
If your website is primarily a blogging styled website, my recommendation would be to convert your HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files over to WordPress.
There is a free template called HTML5Blank which allows you to completely style your site with your own HTML and CSS.
Here is a great tutorial.
I've created a blog site that (for now) is strictly written in HTML and CSS. On the Home page I'd like to be able to create links to additional blog articles on the Archive page - not just links to the Archive page but to specific blog articles but I'm not sure how to do that. Any help appreciated Thanks.
Archive post title
Use an href as suggested above like so
That Posts Title
Since I don't have server-side software, I think I've figured out a work-around without having to create multiple pages. I will give the title of each blog entry a unique id attribute. Then the links will simply be Title of Entry. I think this should work without having to create a multitude of pages.
I'm creating a Shopify store for a client who does not obviously know coding. He will need to update content on the website (and I have coded some pages with certain layouts (in the html part of the content) so when he types his content it often breaks our design)
As an alternative solution, I'm thinking of using the blog feature.
I know Shopify lets us create a page with only a certain blog, but what it does is show up in the URL - as a ...blog/cocktails.
That is not good for the end user, because I merely want it to be a page that calls the blog articles from this blog. I'm unable to find a way to do it.
I tried replacing blog.content with blog['cocktail'].content and etc..
but it didn't do anything.
Alternatively are there any suggestions how you can design a page and let clients add their own content just by typing (for instances where its a list of recipes for example)?
I think it would be best to create a custom page template same as blog page.
It will solve your all problems(i think) because first your url problem will be solved by it user has to just assign a template from backend.
Second one most important user can update its content from backend and it will not disturb your html.
If you still have problems just customise html and css.
I hope it will help you.
My site has two basic types of pages:
A list page, with lists of items. Each item drives to #2, a detail page.
The detail page. One piece of content from a section, like "News" or "Blog Posts". Sometimes, these detail pages are paginated, e.g., "Page 1 of A Long List".
I'm very confused about how rel=next/prev is implemented.
Should I be using prev/next for showing Google that a page is "Page 1 of All Blog Posts" and "next" is "Page 2 of All Blog Posts"? Or should I exclude them from my list pages?
For single-page detail pages, should I be using rel=prev/next to link to the next and previous detail pages from the set?
For multi-page detail pages, I know that I should link pages with prev/next tags, but what should the last page have? It would seem that using next/prev on the last page of a paginated detail page could be misleading to crawlers.
Thanks!
It may be you don't need to do anything at all. If the content within the series tends to stay put, the URLs are numbered, etc., Google's probably working it out for itself.
Don't use prev/next between single-page pages. The idea with prev/next is that a single piece of content which stretches over multiple pages is treated as a whole, so applying it to single-page pieces of content, even if they can be considered as part of some group or set, would be to their detriment.
First page in a series only has the "next" tag, last page only has the "prev" tag. All the rest have both.
And incidentally, if your pagination is done with parameters, you have an alternative in that you can use Google Webmaster Tools to inform Googlebot how to handle your pagination.
If you find anything confusing in the article(link below) than just let us know. And if you completely understand the article and the article about "view all"(link in the article) than I think your problem is solved.
Pagination with rel='next' and rel='prev'
I want to add a facebook-like "Wall" to my site, but to make it useful, I want members to be able to enter an external web site URL just like facebook, Linkedin and others do, and I need my site to extract a thumb and page description and display it in the member's feed on their wall. I know facebook tries to use OG tags, and I am not quite sure how LinkedIn and others do it, so my question is:
Are there any PHP or javascript libraries out there to grab, interpret and return the most likely image/description for any random web URL so that I can display that on the member's "wall" wthin my site? I have seen that there are plenty of RSS feed libraries, but I want it to work with any random web page and have it go to work as soon as the member clicks on the "Post" button to add it to their wall.
I know facebook does it immediately when a URL is added to a post, even before the post is published, but I don't need it to work that immediately.
I highly recommend trying out embed.ly. You didn't mention what type of platform you are using, but embed.ly has plugins for Wordpress, Joomla and Drupal, as well as developer code for javascript/jQuery, php, and a couple other languages. You can view it all here: http://embed.ly/docs.
You'll need to sign up for an API key, there is a free version, and if you need to embed more than 10,000 links a month you can start paying.
On a WordPress site I'm developing right now (not open to public, sorry!), I had a similar problem where I need to allow users writing posts or managing the home page to enter a link of just about anything, from static web pages to blog articles to videos.
I followed the instructions on the tutorial page and the functionality I needed was there. -- looks like I don't have enough reputation to post more than one link, but the path is
/docs/tutorials/jquery in the embed.ly site.
