Hi, okay, another video from mat4.com, what we are going to do now is show you how to add my blog log or add a blog to my blog log and add the widget to your blog. Okay, to give you an example of what I mean, here is my blog called blog tactics and if I scroll down somewhere in the side bar we have which one it is it is this one here, my blog log we have a whole bunch of people that have visited us who are also in my blog log. The reason we want to do this, a few reasons first of all we got a back link from my blog log. We also get that sense of social sites so that people see the other people are visiting the site to give social proof then are more likely to get back because they can see that other people are visiting it but it will also will get you more traffic from my blog log itself believe or not unless that you go to my blog log account. I have already logged in.
If you knew you will need to create one of this. It is owned by Yahoo so you will need to have a Yahoo account which is about a pain but you are going to go through that so you will set up the Yahoo ID and account then you can set up your my blog log account. Okay, this is my camp as I said first thing I need to do is click on add site or blog that I offer. You can see that I already have a few in here, I had been a member for three or months and some of these sites had been set up quite recently. But, you can see I am already getting paid to use and readers on my blog log for this particular blogs so as I say it will bring in traffic.
So, we click on add site to the icon of Arthur and I will just quickly fill in these details and now as you actually type in blog site name it will also fill out this field here.
Now, the idea really is you want to use some keywords in here, let us put face back application which is what this blog is about. Now, once this is filled in you may not want that in there as well so you can always edit that and just have it as shorter version. I am trying to get some keywords in the blog name if you can. Okay, so fill these details and click on add blog and it will refresh and takes some moments too.
Okay, it will try to automatically detect the blog platform that you are on, if that is not correct you can just choose from the drop down list wherever it maybe a little bit on 2.31 I do need to update my word press. Click on add blog site again once confirm the details. Now, this bit of code we need to put in to certain place in the blog. This is what is going to detect other than my blog log visitors when they come to your site.]
Okay, so you need to copy this, so she will highlight it all and click on copy. Now, it needs to go between the open tag and the body close tag which are these two tags here. Okay, so we need to go to our blog and log on and go to the admin area and go to presentation and theme editor and then choose to edit the header and the header basically to edit that you click on header here. Now, we then need to scroll up and down here to find the first the body tag. This is the open body tag. The closed body tag probably will not appear in the header it will be in the different file here. But this is the one that you are looking for and you need to paste that a bit of code after that tag. So there we go, paste it in after that.
Now, click on update file that is not bit done it is not easy to do just make sure that it goes after the first body tag. You then go back to my blog log and then get up date and go to the Tag K community which will take a second or two to update.
