4,000,000 Pageviews on my Humble Blog

 It just so happened on December 23 that I was getting close to 4,000,000 Pageviews on my Humble Blog...

What an impressive figure of 3,999,999 around 21:00 o'clock!

Six minutes later it showed this 4,000,000

For whatever reason, my Pageviews for November and December were HIGH...

Not being tracked from my own browser!

For other bloggers that want to track their Pageviews—this Blogger Tip:

In Layout click on Add a Gadget

In Add a Gadget click on Blog's stats.

Mine is showing 'vague print' meaning it is already in use!

Thank You Visitors for Reading my Writing and Viewing here.

It also shows that original content is being appreciated!

How to Force Feed to AUTOMATICALLY Load on Blog List

 For quite a while I've seen several blogs that remained just at the VERY bottom of My Blog List, seen on the right sideline of my blog.

What is a blog feed?

It is a blog feed format that shows us the latest updates from blogs we follow on our side line.

Such links are also great for promoting your own web presence!

BUT—how to get them to work so they DO UPDATE!

At the way bottom of My Blog List there remained several blogs that NEVER DID UPDATE TO THEIR NEWEST POST...

Their Blog Feed remained STAGNANT

Above is an example of how an updated blog feed looks like!

Make sure that you marked to have them sorted by the Most recently updated.

With the Icon—Title—Thumbnail (Blogger at present is not allowing it to show up at ANY BLOG... 😡—Date of last update!

First—you open the stagnant blog feed in order to have their home blog link at hand!

You need to do that because next we go in to Configure Blog List and Delete the stagnant blog feed.

Click on SAVE!

Scroll all the way to the very bottom of your Configure Blog List and click on ADD A NEW ITEM

You now add the removed blog but this time we do it correctly!

By clicking on CONTINUE

DON'T ADD Blog name!!!

After we click on CONTINUE we read:

Feed URL found

We mark Use feed URL and its title and click OK

I've figured out that you cannot click SAVE without first highlighting the Blog URL

Only then the SAVE button becomes clickable.

DONE!

Those that don't yet have a Blog List added, go to Layout

Once inside Layout click on Add a Gadget and select Blog List... 😏

Hoping this will help some of you for updating Blog List on the side bar.

Removed my BLOGLOVIN' Widget and Pageviews Soared!

 Just because a dear blogger friend Ria from It's Me ←(click it) mentioned that my blog is no longer showing up on her Bloglovin'... That made me look at my sidebar and I found out my widget was SICK!

So, my widget is no longer on my sideline as I removed it at once.

On November 7, I noticed that my blog page views soared to 6,325!

AHA... 😡

So, I finally managed to log in and I proceeded to Remove my account.

STRANGE that it says it will not remove my blog from Bloglovin'

Anyway for me Bloglovin' is finito 😉

Did any of you have the same issues?

Dutch Blogger Friend SOLVED Blog List Thumbnail not Showing!!!

Dutch Blogger Friend  Willy from De tante van Tjorven (just click link) has solved the Blogger bug, that has affected many of us... Tjorven's aunt if using the English translator on her side bar a little down.

For Having Thumbnail showing up again on our Blog List on the Side Line:

The trick is that the 1st photo in your blog ought to be inserted under ORIGINAL SIZE!

BUT first you also have to size it down to only 640 pixel by 480 pixel...

It WORKS thanks to this very clever blogger friend!!!

Use the above link for seeing a better tutorial on her blog!

So I want to share it here with others... THANKS A MILLION WILLY!

{How do I add a SHOP Section to my FB Page?}

One of the reasons for my infrequent blogging is that I have focussed a lot on my on line sales.

From my own website Mariette's Back to Basics to my FB Page etc.

Trying to link as much as possible my Social Media, to utilize it fully.

So here I would like to share with you how to ADD A SHOP SECTION TO FB PAGE

So please do have a look here at: Mariette's Back to Basics to have an idea...

How do I add a shop section to myPage?← click this link to get started

On your FB Page, click on Settings = top right, see my picture here above.

This is what you see when you click the pink hyperlink above my FB Page's screenshot...
Don't worry, it also shows how to, when you live NOT in the USA!

To the left on your FB Page, click on Edit Page...

FB Page Templates... 

Before you add the Shop Section, you will have the Standard Template

Standard - Good for all Page types, with buttons and tables to help showcase what's important to you.

Buttons on Page - Buttons encourage people to take actions that you've selected

Above you see all the buttons you have with the Standard Template, Home, Posts, Videos, Photos, About and Likes

On my FB Page I get the i (information) that when I apply this template, all existing Shop buttons and tabs will be replaced... 

Now you will have to select the Shopping Template (shown here above as my Current Template - just click on Edit

You see the difference?

After you clicked on Edit, you will be shown different templates and you click on View Details so it shows like in the image here above.

Shopping - Designed to showcase products and make it easy for people to shop online.

Buttons on Page - Buttons encourage people to take actions that you've selected.

You click on: Apply Template

Shown here above, are all the buttons you have now with your Shopping template!

Shop is added here.

This is how my FB Page is set up.

Next time I will also do a tutorial about how to add Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and YouTube Apps to your FB Page!

Thank you for your visit and enjoy this Advent Season!
