I got too many wide space in between the post body(solved)
I got too many wide space in between the post body, does anyone know how to get rid of them? 
Finally I moved my blog to http://www.theusefulblog.com
Today I decided to use the domain theusefulblog.com for my blog and use Wordpress to host my blog instead of Blogger. I decided not to use tipspedia.info since .info domain kinda sucks. I bought a very cheap web hosting from CirtexHosting which is only $2.50 a month or $24 a year. Despite its low price, I found the service is excellent, it gives you 5000 MB Storage, 100 GB Bandwidth, PHP, CGI, MYSQL, and 5 Email / FTP Accounts in the basic plan, it’s almost never down and its support is also excellent, and it has Live Support where they answer your questions very quickly, the email support is also very fast.
After I created the host and installed WordPress on it I started to migrate the old posts from Blogger to WordPress. Because my Blogger was beta I can’t import it directly, I had to import its post’s RSS to the new blog, after importing I found the timestamp was off by seven hours I had to change them back one by one by hand, I also had to type the comments in one by one again since I don’t know how to import them from Blogger to WordPress 
. It took me about three hours to do all those…. Finally I finish migrating by putting the customization I had from Blogger to here and pick a theme for my new blog.
Right now I just don’t know how to change the top menu for this K2 style TrueBlue, the links over there are not obvious enough,
if anybody know how to make it look better please tell me about that by leaving a comment here.
How to flip sidebar to left and post body to right in Blogger
In Blogger Beta you can move the widgets up and down, but you can’t flip the post body to the right or left of the sidebar. Here’s an easy way to do that without widgets.
To move the sidebar to the left find the section main or main-wrapper and change float:left to float:right, then find the section sidebar or sidebar-wrapper and change float:right to float:left. To move the sidebar to the right just do the opposite, change float:right to float:left and float:left to float:right.
After flipping them you might want to flip the backgrounds as well, and fine tune the layouts to make your blog look well.
Here’s the picture of the template TicTac Blue with the sidebar on the left:
Today I switched my blog to Blogger Beta
I liked the new Navbar very much, now on its right side you can see your email, make new post and customize your blog. The Navbar’s codes are also friendlier for the search engines and other content targeting programs like adsense since it’s loaded inside the iframe, and it doesn’t have any hidden texts like “Notify Blogger about objectionable content. What does this mean? Blogger · Send As SMS” that confuses the search engine. Next time when I google my blog the result’s description will show the contents of my blog instead of those hidden texts.
Something about Blogger’s template format and tips to show html code in posts
Did you know that Blogger.com’s template is just a special HTML file with some special template tags in between? That means you can customize your blog just like editing a web page.
That gives you the maximum flexibility to customize the blog’s design. You can add and change anything you want from top to bottom. To learn more about the template tags and what they do please visit http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=42095.
I found it useful to put <meta name=”description” content=”<$BlogDescription$>”> into your template’s <head> section, so that search engines will show your website’s description in their result instead of some stupid message like “Notify Blogger about objectionable content. What does this mean? Blogger · Send As SMS · Get your own blog · Flag Blog · Next blog” if you have NavBar on.
If you want to put HTML codes in your blog to let others copy you can’t paste them directly in the Edit Posts window, it will give you some error message, here’s a way to get around it:
- Copy the codes you want to paste into the post and paste it into a HTML editor (like FrontPage)’s design section.
- Check the source code of the contents you just pasted, you will notice that the symbols “<”, “>”, or others became &??; now you can copy those codes with &??; and paste them in the posts, although you still see &??; now, when you published your post the &??; will become the appropriate symbol again when it show in the blog.
Note: You can’t get away with it by putting the unmodified codes inside the text box, Blogger’s editor still won’t let you save it even if you do that.
