Fix Your Themes CSS File

Filed Under (Blogging Advice, Wordpress) by Randy Bragg

Where Is My Style.CSS File  

If you don’t have some ftp software, you need to get some. The software will allow you to transfer data easier than using your site server. Go to CNET.com for ftp software, as evaluation basis, so if you like the software, go buy it. After you get it go to your site’s theme and copy the style.css file, double click on it and away you go.

 Software Used To Edit Style.CSS 

The program I used to edit my format of my site is Microsoft Development Environment. Copy and paste the style.css file to your computer and double click on it. If you don’t have the software you can go find some freeware at CNET.com.

What Am I Looking At 

After opening the file you will notice that there is a list of HTML tags, the first one is an asterisk, and this is going to give you some of the functionality for the main page, like changing the colors of you background in the sidebar. As you go down you will notice that there are tags to click on for the rest of the site. Go through each one and see what’s inside. You have a lot of power at your finger tips, so be careful.   

How Do I Get It Back In My Site  

Copy and paste the file and put it back in to the Themes category. I suggest before you start to tweak you style.css file that you back it up first. If you mess your site up you can restore it with the back up file, as I had to do at least ten times. It will ask you if you want to replace the existing file, say yes and in she goes. Go see what changes you have made.

Dangers Of Buying Links

Filed Under (Blogging Advice) by Randy Bragg

Everyone wants to get a higher page rank from Google no matter what they have to do, even if it means buying links. When you buy or sell links Google gives you a penalty for doing so by giving your site a lower page rank. The way Google looks at page rank is by how many quality links you have with sites with established links that are not bought or sold. Some sites will give you the opportunity to buy a service where they will publish your article for a price. This will get you some link power when you give them your article you put three or more link backs to your site in the article. When these sites are found out by Google then they are marked by Google as link sellers, and it gives them a bad name. You can build good links by emailing sites that have your same interested and swap links. It’s hard work, but if your searching for link power then you have to work for it….

Link Back Trail

Filed Under (Blogging Advice) by Randy Bragg

I’ve noticed that there are many sites with link backs in the 100 thousands; this seems to me to be a great challenge to me. So many times I have tried to create an atmosphere that would try to lead new bloggers to a linking exchange. Free links backs and giving away free stuff seems a successful tool, only when used with mass advertisement. This comes only when you have the money to pay for that advertisement, or using the free avenues that allow you to broadcast your new link plan or giveaways.  Asking for a link back doesn’t always work if you don’t actually link back to that individual’s site. I have experienced putting a link on my site and not getting a reciprocal link for that sites owner. This is very trying when you are trying to get good link backs to your site.  
Getting on MyBlogLog and blasting everyone with all your junk info or new articles that you have is one way, sooner or later they will start to ignore your ramblings, like I have. Then you can try to comment on as many bloggers so that they will at least see your sites name.  Go to Google and type in Link Back blogs, you will see that there are a ton of blogs that offer this out stretched hand. It’s time to start going from blog to blog and assuring the blog owner that you have linked back to their site. Then you wait to see if they will follow through with their part of the deal. This is a good way to get some links, just a time consuming way around it.  


Then there is sites that offer to put your site on 1000’s of directories to increase your link power. They do for awhile, they just drop off after a few months for more obligation to their site and new sites to submit to…
