how to get site links on google search

Sitelinks ,what are they

The small subheadings  that are shown below a website’s main URL in Google's search results are called Sitelinks. These provide shortcuts to the most important pages of your site; they help potential visitors easily find what they need and navigate your site in a timely manner. Sitelinks not only provide easy nav  into your site’s structure and bring information and options up front to users, but they also expand your seo  and click-through rates. 

setting site links up

first you need a webmasters account on google,if you have then log in, setting up a Google Analytics and Google Adwords is a good idea too. Even if you use thirdparty seo services they are good  for the project too

You Get Sitelinks!

First you need a Sitemap (.XML). If you don’t have one, you can create a sitemap manually or by using third-party tools. A simple solution is to use this XML generator:http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/.

As an example, here's a portion of sitemap: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<urlset

      xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"

      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

      xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9

            http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd">

<url>

  <loc>http://wwwtechknowblogging.com<loc>

  <changefreq>weekly</changefreq>

  <priority>1.00</priority>

</url>

<url>

  <loc>http://www.techknowblogging.com/blog/</loc>

  <changefreq>weekly</changefreq>

  <priority>0.80</priority>

</url>

After completing your sitemap and downloading from XML-Sitemaps.com, upload the sitemap.xml file to your site. By now, you should be able to typehttp://www.yourwebsite.com/sitemap.xml in your browser and see the sitemap you just created . Now, follow these easy, Google instructions for submitting your sitemap into Webmaster Tools, go to Webmaster Tools and click Optimization  Sitemaps. , click "Add/Test Sitemap," and enter the sitemap URLif you are a blogger user Use http://YOURBLOGNAME.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500 as your blogger sitemap

Almost done...

You must know: As of now, Google automatically generates your sitelinks using an algorithm or bot – you do not have direct control over what links appear below your main URL. However, you can demote(remove) sitelinks in your Webmaster Tools account if you don’t feel a specific URL is a good "shortcut" candidate. For demoting a link, go to Webmaster Tools > Configuration > Sitelinks and enter the URL in the  text box.

you'll need traffic and seo

But sad news is there is  no guarantee that your sitemap will generate search engine sitelinks. You need to make sure that your "site's internal links are good” Manybloggers suggest that sitelinks are generated from a combination of website authority (i.e. inbound links), traffic, and branded keywords. At the very least, make sure that your site’s link structure is clean and sensible. Also, take time to mark up the contents of your pages to help Google decide which internal links to showcase.ping your links and posts improve seo and get your site linked

last words....

Sitelinks are indeed important and viral for a blogger its your turn now to make it up till you get your important sitelinks under your site in google organic search!

How to add distributions to Berryboot manually

When you’re using the included BerryBoot images,as I described in my last post such as Raspbian and Puppy Linux, installation is a easy job.In order to import a Linux distribution into the BerryBoot, you need to optimize that distribution for SquashFS. first get an image of that distribution.in three ways you can get it done:

•  First,the easiest way to do is to get optimized images from the BerryBoot that has not been officially added to the installer yet you can open here.SquashFS optimization is not necessary here.

• Second, in Raspberry Pi optimized images that are available for general download but are not optimized for BerryBoot yet, you can simply get the image.

• third, in the case of distributions such as Raspbmc that requires an use of installer tool to download everything directly to the RPi and go from there, you need to create an image of the SD card that you installed it into

• In addition to the .IMG file you will need the access to a Linux machine( like maybe Linux powered desktop,  Linux Live CDon a computer, or even the copy of Rasbian on your RPi),  to use the SquashFS tool. There simply hasn’t been a consistent port yet, so we’re going to keep things on and simple by using SquashFS on it’s indigenous platform.
• If the distribution doesn’t have SquashFS installed already (like Raspbian doesn’t be with it before), therefore you must enter the following command at the terminal to get a copy of it

sudo apt-get install squashfs-tools

• To convert the the .IMG, plug in an SD card or USB device in which the file exists, into your Linux machine. I am going to consign to the image file as NewBerryBoot.img in the commands. Open the terminal and run the following command on the .IMG:

sudo kpartx -av NewBerryBoot.img

The kpartx command creates the device maps from the partition tables,  with the –av switch, it will add the mappings and operate at length so that we can read the output. The output should look something like:

 add map loop0p1 (252:5): 0 117187 linear /dev/loop0 1

add map loop0p2 (252:6): 0 3493888 linear /dev/loop0 118786(or 4)

• The 2^nd  larger partition, loop0p2, is the one we are in. In your image, the loop will maybe different (i.e. loop3p2), so copy the name for the next commands. Then Enter the following commands:

sudo mount /dev/mapper/loop0p2 /mnt

sudo sed -i ‘s/^\/dev\/mmcblk/#\0/g’ /mnt/etc/fstab

sudo mksquashfs /mnt converted_image_for_berryboot.img -comp lzo -e lib/modules

sudo umount /mnt

sudo kpartx -d NewBerryBoot.img

• These commands makes the partition, and edits the file systems table in the original partition,then optimizes the image with SquashFS (except the lib/modules which are shared in the distributions on BerryBoot), and then unmounts and deletes the partition mappings.
• Plug in the external media that holds the .IMG file into your Raspberry Pi unit or attached USB hub. Boot into your Raspberry Pi with the original BerryBoot SD card. At the boot selection menu, press Edit menu to open the BerryBoot menu editor.
• To add your .IMG file, click and hold the Add OS button as shown below

• Select ‘Copy OS’ from USB stick, and you’ll see a file selection dialog box
• After selecting your .IMG file and Opening it, wait for a moment as the .IMG is unpacked and installed. After that, you’ll see the BerryBoot menu editor with a new additional

Poof done!!, here are the ways you can download or create an .IMG file to load into BerryBoot

1. Download from the official(not included) BerryBoot repository list,
2. modify an existing .IMG with SquashFS, or your own .IMG from a SD card install and then modify it with SquashFS.

 It is possible, for example, to create a .IMG of a Raspbmc installation but according to the project’s mind Sam Nazarko, converting it to SquashFS stops the upgrade system.

Convert Wordpress themes to Blogger templates

Don't you think there are a lot of awesome treats in wordpress themes and not so much in blogger templates well i bet this post is going to convert awesome Wordpress themes to Blogger templates,

Steps to convert......

• Choose the theme and get inspired.....

choose the theme which you would like to convert to blogger template, make sure choose a good one and with light graphics to start with,think about it and get inspired of design,get rid of themes with lot of stuffed things.

• Understand the structure from inside.....

before converting a theme you must have idea of the basic structure of the template you are going to convert into,the actual structure of any themes are not exactly the same. But, by the basic structure, you can design a template, and change it into a different structure.Some parts of the theme structure are obvious from what you can see on most blogs: the headers, posts and footers sections. there are some sections that are not visible on the computer screen, but important HTML-wise to convert a WP theme into a practical and proper working template.

 A theme structure on the whole, contains blocks of pieces that looks like this

• Start with a plain generic template of blogger..

start with the normal template if you are not a proper coder of xml,first start modifying body,then everything

• Get the grip of the graphics......

download the graphics in the theme and keep it online somewhere(host it)

dont miss a thing in it!

• Tweaking the css.....

This is the crucial part of converting - setting how your template looks like after converting. By this time the widths of all the pieces inside the CSS code should have been set. you need to know about tweaking the CSS code that it's a  process - it's a process of refining that always repeats back and forth until its completely looking like the theme. start from the top, Assuming that you're starting from an existing template, at this point you don't have to worry much about customizing the body, outer-wrapper, and content-wrapper, except the width

•  Setting up the size.....

Setting up the template size is one of the first things you need to do when converting to blogger template.Setting the template to have a fluid size, which means the width changes with the browser or screen size.Setting a fixed template size:To set a template width, you actually have to set the width of a few large containers. 

Here is a sample code showing you all the container widths that are set to make sure the template width is properly set body

 #outer-wrapper {                                                                                                              margin: 0 auto; /* to shift to the screen center */min-width: 700px;max-width: 700px; }                                                                                                      #content-wrapper {min-width: 700px;max-width: 700px; }                                    #header-wrapper {min-width: 700px;max-width: 700px; }                                      #main-wrapper {min-width: 400px;max-width: 400px;                                         .sidebar {padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px;min-width: 180px;max-width: 180px;         #sidebar1 {.....}#sidebar2 {.....}                                                              #footer-wrapper {min-width: 700px;max-width: 700px; }

•  Making your template a three column...

change or add sidebars is simply tweaking the XML code directly from the edit html page . So the Body section at the end of the code won't be shown cluttered with detailed algorithms for widgets and post data. by tweaking the two column code by looking at this piece of code can do the job

<div id='content-wrapper'>
<div class='sidebar-wrapper'><b:section class='sidebar' id='sidebar1' preferred='yes'></b:section></div><div id='main-wrapper'><b:section class='main' id='main' showaddelement='no'><b:widget id='xxx' locked='false' title='Blog Posts' type='Blog'/></b:section></div><div class='sidebar-wrapper'><b:section class='sidebar' id='sidebar2' preferred='yes'></b:section></div><!-- spacer for skins that want sidebar and main to be the same height--><div class='clear'> </div></div> <!-- end content-wrapper -->

 finally by choosing colors and quick checkup your wordpress theme is converted into blogger template! its your turn to make it, comment below about your views 

Multiboot your raspberry pi with berryboot

what is raspberry pi?

the raspberry pi is fantastic little computer that is capable of doing all sorts of tings,unfortunately it supports only one operating system at a time,in this tutorial we can boot as many Raspberry Pi operating systems as you want 

What is Berry Boot?

BerryBoot is a boot management tool for the raspberry pi that makes your experience more crispy in functionality. The benefit of it is that it allows you to boot up as many as Raspberry Pi operating systems off the SD card. the Berry boot configuration toll allows you to download additional Raspberry Pi optimized distributions, current disributions are berrywebserver(Webserver Bundle: Lighttpd+PHP+SQLITE)

Berryterminal(LTSP/Edubuntu thinclient), puppy linux and so on.....

In addition to the distributions included, you can also add your own Linux distributions.

download here BERRYBOOT

Getting started;configuration....

• after downloading the installer and extracting the contents of it to your SD card, it’s time to start the config. Insert the SD card in your Raspberry Pi unit and plug in the power cable to boot it up. You will see boot process and then you’ll arrive at the GUI of the configuration wizard 
  
• adjust the video output (select or deselect overscan based on whether or not you see the green calibration bars at the top and bottom of the screen). Set your  connection to wired or Wi-Fi. then set your timezone and keyboard preferences.
• After configuring the network connection, you will be asked to select a disk
  
• The default is the SD card. If you want to install the distributions to an attached flash or USB HDD, attach it now. Once you see the disk you wish to use ,select it and press the Format button.
• After a minute, you’ll be directed into the Add OS menu where you can select the first (of many) operating systems you want to install to your BerryBoot card. After selecting it, press OK to start the installation process.
  
• Once the image has finished downloading and installing,  the BerryBoot menu editor will appear,
• in the menu editor, you can perform a variety of functions. You can add another operating system or remove existing ones and set the default operating system. You can edit the properties of the individual images to change the name and the memory location. You can replicate the operating system. You can backup the entire SD card or individual operating system installs to an external storage device.

• All those features are really awesome, what we’re most interested in now is adding an additional operating system. Click Add OS. This will return you to the Add OS menu we were in just a moment ago—we’re going to add OpenELEC to our BerryBoot system now. Make your selection and hit OK.When the installation of the second operating system image is complete, you can then select the one you wish to be the default and click the Make default button. We’re opting to make Raspbian our default operating system:

                                 

• Now, we’re ready to exit the editor and try the multiboot process. click on the Exit button on the menu bar. A moment later you will be directed back to the main BerryBoot menu poof ! done now install multiple boots and use 

Note:If you set a default operating system, it will be automatically counting down to boot it. If you didn’t, it will be idle, for you to select which operating system you want to boot into. The default timeout for the boot menu selection is 10 seconds.
