Add Music To Blogger
There are many ways to add music to your blog. The most common and easy way is to embed it into your blog and add it as a HTML/Javascript widget via the "Add a Page Element" in the Layout.Here I show you all how to add music as background on you blog..
You will first have to find a music file that is already hosted on the web, or if you have your own music file stored in your computer, upload it into a file host and then get the URL of the file. I actually always use geocities to get url for my favourite song..If not, you also can get the url from the mp3 hosting such as http://www.freemp3mail.com. You need select the artist the the song, then you will provided with the url for that song.
<script>
<!--
//specify FULL path to mp3
var musicsrc="http://your song.mp3"
if (navigator.appName=="Microsoft Internet Explorer")
document.write('<bgsound src='+'"'+musicsrc+'"'+' loop="infinite">')
else
document.write('<embed src=\"'+musicsrc+'\" hidden="true" border="0" width="20" height="20" autostart="true" loop="true">')
//-->
</script>
change that http://your song.mp3 with the url that you already upload or found over the internet.
the second way, you use this coding.. :
<embed src="http://your song.mp3"
width="150" height="40" autostart="false" loop="false">
Same with the previous code, change with the url that you already upload or found over the internet.
Besides that, there are other ways of adding music to your blog. For example, you can use this site SongSpots™.com to generate a script for putting into your post (the player will only appear in that post) or the Page Element (the player will then appear in all pages of your blog).
SongSpots™ are customizable flash-players that will play (i.e. stream) the song of your choice on almost any webpage that you can edit yourself, such as your blog, your online network profile, or your own homepage.
To get SongSpots™ you simply log in to Sonific.com, search for, preview and select a song you like, generate and copy the player code, and drop / paste it into any suitable input field on your desired target site, such as the 'new post' box on your blog, the 'description' field on your photo site, the 'about me' space on your social network profile, the html editor on your website wizard, and so on. The exact process varies for each site, so Sonific offers a constantly increasing number of SongSpots™guides to the most popular sites and services. The guides can be found here and they are also displayed when you get the code for your SongSpots™.
Once you have put the SongSpots™ code on your website, and have re-published it, the music you selected will be available for playback on your site. Of course, the player can be set to start automatically or not as you see fit. The visitor can start/stop the playback, change the volume and find out more about the artist. All your SongSpots™ can be saved in the MySongSpots folder, allowing you to change songs very quickly, or to just collect your favorite songs for later use.
The easiest way :
First, find a song you like and click 'Use'. Then, describe and configure your SongSpot and click on 'Activate'. Your SongSpot is now ready to be used. Select and copy the code and add it to your site. You can find instructions for the most common sites right by the code or on the Supported Sites page. You can also check out the General User Guide and the Step-By-Step Guides for the most common sites.

Add Youtube Videos On Blogger
Unregistered users can watch most videos on the site; registered users have the ability to upload an unlimited number of videos. Related videos, determined by the title and tags, appear to the right of the video. In the site's second year, functions were added which provide the ability to post video 'responses' and subscribe to content feeds for a particular user or users.
Just Follow This Method :First, you need go to YouTube Site and choose that video you want put on yor blog. Or maybe you can use any video that you already upload to YouTube.
After that, look for the box directly to the right of the video. There will have the code for embedding video. Go to the line marked Embed at the bottom of this box. Click inside the code box next to the word Embed. All of the code text should automatically be highlighted. If not, you'll need to select it. Copy this code. You can copy by right-clicking on your mouse and selecting copy from the drop-down menu.
Example of YouTube Embed Code :<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/F-yDAX6FZqQ"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/F-yDAX6FZqQ" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>
Next, you need to paste this code into your blog. Login into your Blogger account. Select the edit HTML tab, and paste the code you copied from YouTube. It is important to make sure you have the HTML tab selected first. You can paste the code by right-clicking and selecting paste from the drop-down menu.
hat's it. Press the post button and then preview your blog, to make sure everything works. When readers look at your blog, they'll see the embedded video, and they can click on the play button in the center to view the video.
It is possible to modify the HTML code so that the video automatically plays as soon as it is loaded, instead of making the reader click. However, I don't recommend this. It is rude to readers who don't expect video, and it can really drag on users who have slow connections.

Add Metacafe Videos On Blogger
Metacafe is a media and video sharingcommunity on the internet. Metacafe users upload and share thousands of new videos every day. Metacafe offers a desktop application, mainly targeted at users who are "video addicts" and download many of the videos every week. The desktop application is capable of downloading high-quality media to the local computer while the computer is idle.
Metacafe features user generated videos, humor videos, Internet videos (memes) and viral ads as well as sports and news-related media. Some of the other features on the site include flash games and sound clips.
Items on Metacafe have an ‘Embeddable Player’, allowing you to play the item directly from your blog/website. This feature works with various forums (MySpace, Blogger, Xanga, Friendster) and any other site which allows posting embedded tags (HTML code).
The five most recently viewed blogs/websites will be displayed underneath the item.

The tab will expand:
Either click the “Your Blog Here” link, or check the “Feature my blog/website here.” checkbox:
Fill in your blog’s name and the URL of your personal blog (e.g. http://tarantula-videos.blogspot.com/). Now, copy the content of the “Embeddable code” textbox (click on the textbox -> right-click -> copy) and edit your blog/website. Blogger.com interface is displayed in the example below:
Make sure that you are in HTML entry mode, paste the text and save it.
By clicking the “Show advanced options >>” link, more options will appear:
Note that if you wish to change the advanced options, you must do so before pasting the embeddable code.
If you do not want a link to your blog to be displayed, you can simply copy the embeddable code from the “Embeddable Player” textbox underneath the item:

Add Favicon To Blogger
The original means of defining a favicon was by placing a file called favicon.ico in the root directory of a webserver. This would then automatically be used in Internet Explorer's favorites (bookmarks) display. Later, however, a more flexible system was created, using (X)HTML to indicate the location of an icon for any given page. This is achieved by adding two link elements in the section of the document as detailed below. In this way, any appropriately sized (16×16 pixels or larger) image can be used, and although many still use the ICO format, other browsers now also support the animated GIF and PNG image formats.
Most modern browsers implement both methods. Because of this, web servers receive many requests for the file "favicon.ico" even if it doesn't exist. This may annoy web server administrators by creating many server log entries, and unnecessarily loading the disk, CPU, and network. Another common problem is that the favicons may disappear if the browser's cache is emptied.
Originally, Internet Explorer only used favicons for bookmarks, which created a minor privacy concern in that a site owner could tell how many people had bookmarked their site by checking the access logs to see how many people downloaded the favicon.ico file. However, since newer versions of Internet Explorer and most other browsers also display the favicon in the address bar on every visit, that concern may no longer be relevant.
First you need to create a neat favicon from this site : http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/
After you've created a neat favicon, it's time to add it to your site. To do so, follow the below simple procedure:
Upload the generated file ("favicon.ico") to your site. Verify it's there by typing http://mysite.com/favicon.ico in the browser's location, where "mysite.com" is your site's address.
Next, insert the below code in the HEAD section of your pages, at the very least, your site's main index page:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" />
example of complete coding:
<head>
<b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" />
<b:skin><
If you don't have a photo hosted somewhere already, you can first post a picture to your blog. Once you've done that, switch the post editor into Edit HTML mode if it isn't there already. (If you posted the picture from your cell phone or through another service like Picasa, you'll need to first log in to Blogger so you can edit the post that was just created.) Now copy the photo's URL (by choosing the Copy command from the Edit menu or the right-click menu).
Finally, paste this URL into the "Photo URL" field in your Profile:
Then click Save at the bottom of the page, and you're done. If you don't want to keep the picture as a post on your blog, you can delete it. (Just don't delete the associated picture when it gives you the option.)
But remember this:
- The image must be 50k or smaller in size.
- If you uploaded the picture through Blogger as described above, you'll notice that for every image in "Edit HTML" mode, there are actually two links. The first starts with "<a href=" and provides a link to the full-sized image on its own page. The second starts with "<img style=" and links to the image you see on the regular blog page. For some images, the first link will be over the maximum 50k limit. We recommend copying the second of the two links.

Add AdSense On Blog
AdSense is an ad serving program run by Google. Website owners can enroll in this program to enable text, image and, more recently, video advertisements on their sites. These ads are administered by Google and generate revenue on either a per-click basis. Google is also currently beta-testing a cost-per-action based service.
Google utilizes its search technology to serve ads based on website content, the user's geographical location, and other factors. Those wanting to advertise with Google's targeted ad system may sign up through AdWords. AdSense has become a popular method of placing advertising on a website because the ads are less intrusive than most banners, and the content of the ads is often relevant to the website.
Currently, the AdSense uses JavaScripts code to incorporate the advertisements into a participating site. If it is included on a site which has not yet been crawled by the Mediabot, it will temporarily display advertisements for charitable causes known as public service announcements (PSAs). (Note that the Mediabot is a separate crawler from the Googlebot that maintains Google's search index.)
Many sites use AdSense to monetize their content and some webmasters work hard to maximize their own AdSense income. They do this in three ways:
- They use a wide range of traffic generating techniques including but not limited to online advertising.
- They build valuable content on their sites which attracts AdSense ads which pay out the most when they get clicked.
- They use copy on their websites that encourage clicks on ads. Note that Google prohibits people from using phrases like "Click on my AdSense ads" to increase click rates. Phrases accepted are "Sponsored Links" and "Advertisements".
To use AdSense, first of all...you must have the AdSense account. If you not have yet the AdSense account, you can apply Adsense from here : https://www.google.com/adsense/. Then choose the blog that you want to put AdSense on, and go to the Template > Page Elements tab. You can get there by clicking the "Layout" link on the dashboard, or clicking the "Template" tab from the posting or settings page of the blog.
Once you're there, click on one of the "Add a Page Element" links. Choose the one that corresponds to the area of the page that you want to contain your AdSense ads. The "Choose a New Page Element" window comes up, from which you can select the AdSense option.
The next page you see will have an AdSense sign up page. If you're new to AdSense, go ahead and fill it out to create an account. If you already have an AdSense account, click the "sign in" link instead so you don't accidentally make an extra account.
Once you've signed in or created or account, you'll get the configuration screen. Use the menus to select a format, and one of our preset color templates. If you want more control, you can also enter colors of your own choosing by typing the hex codes in the spaces provided.
If for any reason you need to switch to using a different AdSense account, click on the "Switch to a different publisher ID" link at the bottom.
When you have things the way you want them, just save your changes and go see how it looks on your blog. Come back to tinker with the settings any time by clicking the "edit" link for the AdSense unit on the Page Elements tab.

I know you will think remove Blogger Navbar illegal or not..
Is removing the Blogger Navbar legal ?
The Terms of Service for Blogspot.com do not mention anything about Blogger Navbar but it does state a word about the discontinued Blogger AdBar which was previously displayed on freely-hosted Blog*Spot blogs.
By creating your BlogSpot Site, you agree that Pyra has the right to run such advertisements and promotions.Since it is not mentioned explicitly in the Terms of service, it remains doubtful if removing and hacking the Blogger navbar is any violation of the Blogger terms of service. Lets say we are not "removing the navbar" but only "hiding the navbar" or we could even re-position the navbar to the bottom of the blog. Get rid of the blogger nav bar.
You also agree that you will not attempt to block or otherwise interfere with advertisements displayed on your BlogSpot site via JavaScript or any other means. Doing so is grounds for immediate termination of service. The manner, mode and extent of advertising by Pyra on your BlogSpot Site is subject to change.
