Web Tools For Your Blog

Have you visited and read other blogger's blog? If you have noticed, some blogs do have extra web tools or add ons to their web pages. I'm sure you have read some blogs with calendars, clocks, statistics, some quotes, guestbooks, shout box or anything that makes their blogs more beautiful, aside from the blog content of course. Some blogs do have these colorful banners, advertisers or tiny buttons. All of those including the advertisements are extra web tools.

I have mentioned in my previous post, most bloggers now adays are earning extra income from their blogs. You've seen banners and advertisement in their blogs? that's where the earnings comes from. Income are not really thousands of dollars, but they do help and not all bloggers are lucky to have these streams of income from blogging. It helps stretch the tight budget. Many bloggers do not want to commercialized their blogs. It is your choice if you want to or not.

I will post about this money in blog later. In the mean time, lets focus on the add ons or the extra tools you can add to your blogs. As I have said, if you do not have any idea about HTML codes, you do not have to worry because all you need to do is copy the HTML code provided and paste it somewhere in your blog template. I will also discuss later about blog template, so you would know where to paste this codes.
