Thats too many questions ;)

1> Change the font in this section of your blog.

.post h3 {
margin-top: 0;
font: normal bold 130% 'Lucida Grande','Trebuchet MS';
letter-spacing: -1px;
color: #666699;
}

You can add your desired font before "Lucida Grande". :)

2> You can look for how to add "Read More" links in your posts here

3> Integrate RSS feed ???

I think Blogger does that. You can click on the RSS icon in your FF address bar and see that.

4> Diggs are votes given by Digg.com members. The more diggs you recieve, the better are your chances of getting to the Digg frontpage. For a post to be digged, they have to submitted to Digg first.


Do I get paid for this long answer ? :D

After copy-pasting this code in my template at the position where I found it,
I previewed the page but nothing changed, the font of title was like that it was before.
What has gone wrong in this ?
2> You can look for how to add "Read More" links in your posts here
Cant find the place where I have to apply the code, its messy. I m confused!
3> Integrate RSS feed ???

I think Blogger does that. You can click on the RSS icon in your FF address bar and see that.
I mean how can i generate feeds for my contents on the blog?
(i.e. Feeds for my visitors)
4> Diggs are votes given by Digg.com members. The more diggs you recieve, the better are your chances of getting to the Digg frontpage. For a post to be digged, they have to submitted to Digg first.
You mean I have to submit the post first & then show up the DIG button & then what?

1. > You need to add the font yourself. For example if you want your titles to be displayed in Georgia.. try this code..

.post h3 {
margin-top: 0;
font: normal bold 130% Georgia,'Lucida Grande','Trebuchet MS';
letter-spacing: -1px;
color: #666699;
}

2> You will have to do that yourself ! Its a long time since I stopped using Blogger.

3> Why do you need to generate feeds when Blogger does that ? :-|

4> Then you do not need to do anything. :p Your visitors need to digg the post.

5> Trackbacks ?? Blogger does not have them...

To know about trackbacks see: *www.haloscan.com/help/TrackBack

And visit *www.haloscan.com/ to implement Trackback in Blogger.com blogs. Blogger natively does not support Trackback but haloscan can do that.

Enable feeds ?

I am repeating : you already have feeds for your visitors... at *tech4sure.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default What more do you want ? :confused:

For trackbacks, read the links Navjot has given. :)

I mean if i am a visitor of my blog, where should i click to get subscribed to the feeds (like many have buttons for subscribing)

Oh, you mean you need some RSS buttons...

You can get some at FeedBurner or simply add a subscribe link to your sidebar pointing to your feed. This will help your visitors.

That depends on blog by blog. If blog implements nofollow attribute for link of comment, then it can't be counted as backlink and if it does not use nofollow attribute on links on comments then it can be counted as a backlink.
 

navjotjsingh

Just view the source of post page and check on the link of comment for this

<a href="link" rel="nofollow" >

If nofollow is mentioned it means it will not be counted as backlink and if its not there then it can be counted as a backlink.

nofollow tells search engines not to follow this link via comment link. So search engines don't give any value to such links with nofollow attribute.

Digg: If a person submits your post to Digg.com and then afterwards people rate your post by digging(pressing the digg button) and your post gains popularity.

Trackback: Told above.

Feeds: Told n times in this thread. What did you not understood?

Wordpress.com does not allow you to add your own ads which blogger.com does.

Unless you have your own hosted wordpress blog, blogger.com is better in monetizing terms.
