That Is The Solution Of Your Blogger Missing Gadget Features

If you are experiencing problems with the Add a Gadget features not showing up in the layout screen of your Blogger Blogspot Blog then read on as I have found the solution to this annoying problem.

The other day I discovered to my horror i had lost the option to Add a Gadget in the layout screen of all my blogs in Blogger. Typically it couldn't have happened at a worse times as i had just planned to sit down to write some new posts. I looked in the Blogger help section for the solution but could find no reference to the problem.

I eventually found the answer, after about 10 minutes, buried in the Blogger Help Group section. I thought I would therefore post a short tip for anyone out there looking for a quick answer to the loss of the Add a Gadget function from the Layout Screen.

Clear Your Browser's Cache:

When the Add a Gadget feature is missing from your layout screen and you have tried refreshing it probably means you need to clear the cache of your Browser. In Internet Explorer 6 you would go to the Tools menu and choose internet options from the drop down menu. In the dialog box that appears select the General tab and then click on the Delete Files from the Temporary Internet Files Section. Once done close the dialog box and refresh the layout screen in Blogger. With any luck you will now be able to see the Add a Gadget option once again. For other Browsers follow the directions in the browser's help section on clearing the cache or check out Blogger Help Article about clearing cache.

Feedjit monitors traffic to your site and ranks it based on popularity and relevance against the traffic received by other feedjit users in your local area. There is a choice of 4 different widgets. Live Traffic Feed, Live Traffic Map, Re commanded Reading, and Page popularity. Each of these widgets has different functions.

How to Add a Feedjit Live Traffic Feed Widget Gadget to Blogger:
Visit Feedjit
Select Live Traffic Feed.

Click on the Customize it link under live Traffic Feed. This will allow you to enter colors to match the theme of your blog. If you are in doubt I have found that the easiest method to get the custom colors of a site is to go to the Layout > Page Elements Screen in Blogger and click on Add a Gadget and then Adsense. From the configuration screen that pops up you can get the colors of the background, border, title, URL, Text. If you use these same colors in your Feedjit widget it will blend in with the rest of your site. You can preview your widget to make sure it looks as you would like it before adding it to your blog.

To automatically add the widget to Blogger select the Click to Add to Blogger link and follow the instructions. Or to manually add it which I myself prefer right click the code in the box under the heading Live Traffic Feed and Select copy.

1. Navigate to Layout > Page Element in your blog if that page is not already open.

2. Select Add a Gadget in the sidebar and then HTML/Javascript.

3. Paste the code by placing the mouse in the box and right clicking and selecting paste.

4. Save the widget and then using the drag and drop feature of Blogger move it to your desired location. Note HTML/Javascript widgets are best placed after your other widgets for faster loading.

5. Save Template.

6. Click on view Blog to view your newly created Feedjit widget.   

 Click on options in the Feedjit widget and then Ignore My Browser otherwise the widget will record your visit each time you view you blog. The option on the widget will now changes to Stop ignoring me which you can reverse by clicking on the link again. If you use more than one browser you will need to tell Feedjit to ignore you for each browser.

To Get This Feedgit Got My Live Feed Widget and click the Get Feedjit and Make your own Feedgit any put HTML in your blogger.

Breaking News: Another Upgrade to the Etsy Search

Guest Blogger AmbientLights.etsy.com:

As per this previous blog article, we let you know about Etsy’s awesome new search functions. Etsy told us that there would be even more coming soon and some of it is here already!

Now, when you do a search from the regular search bar or in the Advanced Search, once you get your search results, underneath the price filter on the top left there is a drop down box that allows you to filter the results by “Ship to Country”.

Once you select the “Ship to Country” it will only show you the results for items that will ship to the selected country, and it will also include items with “Everywhere Else” shipping. You can change the country at any time or click the red “remove” under the selected country to show all item results again. The selected country will clear itself when you leave the Etsy site.

And there's more!! The much awaited, desired, asked for, sought after feature… Sort your search results by “Most Relevant”! (Are you doing the Happy Dance, too?!)

You can use the drop down box (“Sort By”) on the top right of your search results page to select “Most Relevant”, “Price High to Low”, “Low to High”, etc or use “Most Relevant” as a option in the Advanced Search. It's seems to save your chosen method of “Sort By” similarly to the “Ship to Country”. Unless you change it, your results for each search will be listed in your chosen method of sorting until you change it or leave the Etsy site.

In my opinion, “Most Relevant” returns more accurate results than the previous method of searching. I’ve played around a bit with it and now if you search for “Scrabble Tile Pendant” you don’t get the collage sheets for Scrabble tile pendants so much. So it works!!

Etsy says this is just the beginning! They will continue to fine tune both of these search functions as time goes on. One other thing you may be interested in knowing is that the “Most Relevant” search will be improved in the future by altering the listing process some, although there is currently no change to the listing process.

Both of their search functions have been long awaited by many Etsians and will most definitely be an invaluable tool to many buyers and artisans alike.

We'll be sure to keep you posted on new Etsy search functions and features as they roll them out. These are some exciting times in Etsy Land!
