There are many people who consider that Blogger is a much stable
platform than Wordpress, that’s why many people are using Blogger as a
blog solution. My opinion is that both are great platforms but I do
prefer self hosted Wordpress because is fully customizable and also you
can do whatever you want.
This list will help you to transform your Blogger blog in that type of blog that you like.
1. Remove the Blogger Top Bar

Source: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/top-10-blogger-hacks-and-tips/Hey MakeUseOf! I thought I would share with you what I have learned
about Blogger’s Blogspot blogging platform over the last 8 months or
so. I jumped into the new Blogger almost immediately after its beta
launch and then I wanted to customize it – You know, make it my own.
So I went out looking for how to do it. And here is that wisdom I
uncovered. Consider it a gift from me to you. Poor old Blogger gets a
bad wrap, namely because people do not know how to manipulate it. I
hope this article helps you guys out and if you have any others please

1. Removing The Blogger Bar

didn’t really go with my template and I already had a Google search bar
integrated. So I went on a mission to remove it and de-bloggerify my
blog. I searched far ...

difficult. Most of the times you will want to display a limited number
of posts on the Homepage while displaying a larger list for the
categories, archives or search results pages, and this is not p...

Is it legal to have adsense ads in iframe ?
The terms only mention that you cannot frame your visitors after they click on an ad link and in the policies state that no Google ad may be placed on any non-content-based pages.
If you put the ads in iframe then probably they won’t find any content in order to serve any relevant ads. But, what if you make the ads look outside of the iframe ?
document=parent.document;
I don’t think it would violate their terms and conditions but to be sure I send an email to the adsense team:
<blockquote>To the Adsense Team,
I have looked in your terms and the policies on the adsense help site
but I can’t seem to find this info anywhere.
I have a site with a very old CMS installed on that does not let me
use anything other than iframe to display the ADS, changing the whole
CMS was out of the question, so I thought about the following solution
with my little experience with j...

HTML doesn't have an element that allows to insert a figure with a caption.
It was once proposed (see HTML3),
but never made it into HTML4. Here is one way to simulate such a figure
element:
<div class="figure">
<p><img src="eiffel.jpg" width="136"
height="200" alt="Eiffel tower">
<p>Scale model of the
Eiffel tower in Parc Mini-France
</div>

Then in the style sheet you use the class "figure" to
format the figure the way you want. For example, to float the figure to the
right, in a space equal to 25% of the width of the surrounding paragraphs,
these rules will do the trick:
div.figure {
float: right;
width: 25%;
border: thin silver solid;
margin: 0.5em;
padding: 0.5em;
}
div.figure p {
text-align: center;
font-style: ita...
