Customization

I will be using STYLE 01, to sight and example on how you can customize your blockquote.

.post blockquote {

margin : 0 20px;

padding: 20px 60px 80px 20px;

background : #FEE4E3 url(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIVUpfM_iyTrRvvSsUDyjM9gLcUhQHrZO2OnpHYObeCnwCZuklg1UfxLBwFErKEVMdBhVshsmxWI4RorvtEKZoBHlmoVrZdZxNnDhNf9lNOh9IVkoWRjdMzSzBcMVpqAjTxSLykeqwcum9/s1600/rb+style+01.png) no-repeat bottom right;

font: 18px normal Tahoma, sans-serif;

color : #000;

border: 1px solid #DDD;

}

.post blockquote p {

margin: 0;

padding-top:10px;

}

20px 60px 80px 20px represents top, right, bottom, left distance of of the text from the blockquote border.

#FEE43E represent the background color of the blockquote and the link highlighted in green is the url of the ribbon that is included.

18px represent the font size, normal is the font style and Tahoma, sans-serif is the font type.

Click SAVE TEMPLATE when you are done with your editing.

Now in your post editor when you are composing a new post and you were about to add a blockquote, simply shift to Edit HTML mode and paste the code below in the content box

<blockquote><div>Enter Your Quote Text Here</div></blockquote>

Replace Enter Your Quoted Text Here with your quoted text.

Done!

Hope you can now customize your blockquote? questions or suggestions are highly welcome and share this post with friends/followers.

Add a Paypal donate button in Blogspot blog 2013

Paypal has
now become the biggest way of receiving and sending money online, Paypal
provides a wide variety of tools to help you earn more and one is the
donation button, you will get to know how to easily add a Paypal donate
gadget in Blogger.

If
you are running a non profit organization or just a blog then you might
want to add a donation button to increase your income and get donations
from people without messaging each and every single person. Paypal
donation buttons can be very helpful as i said that you can just put up
it on your blog and website and any person that likes your blog or work
can donate you for your work to keep on.

Demo : You can see on the right sidebar.

The reason i
have put 2012 in the title is that there are many tutorials online
about adding a Paypal button but they don't work now and many people
don't get a proper answer about adding the feature on their blog or
website.

Adding the donation feature

The adding
process is as easy as copying and pasting, no need of any coding
language. Please follow and read each and every step carefully to avoid
any misunderstanding.

Setting up your Paypal

Note : If you haven't yet signed up for Paypal then do it here http://paypal.com

We were
having difficulties receiving Payments in Personal Paypal account, so
you have to make your Paypal account Premier in order to receive
donations. Upgrading your account to Premier is absolutely free.

Login to
your Paypal account -> On your account dashboard you will see the
account type you have, if Personal is mention there, click on it and
upgrade to Premier. That's it.

Generate the donation button

In many old
tutorials you may have seen that you need to log into your account to
get to a page where you can create the buttons, but Paypal interface and
system has changed since the way to get a button is also different.

Paypal
provides a free tool with which you can create a button, you just need
to enter your details, that's not more than your Paypal email id and the
organization name you want your donation received as.

Note : I suggest you to log out from Paypal while creating the button.

Go to this page and click on 'Create button' link https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_donate-intro-outside

Now when
you are on the page with Paypal button creating tool you will see a
drop down menu with different options (button type) choose Donations
from the drop down.

Put your organization name and donation id (it's optional)

If you
want a more customized button then you can use the customization
options, you can put your own image instead of the normal donate button
(optional)

Choose
the currency. If you want a fixed amount to get donated from the donors
then you can choose the 'Donors contribute a fixed amount.' and enter
the amount.

The last and the most important step is to enter the email id for your Paypal

Skip Step 2 and 3 there and click on 'Create Button' and you will get the HTML code for your donate button. Copy that code.

Next is to add the code for Paypal donate button into your blog's sidebar.

Add the code in your blog

We are going to simply add the code into the blog by an HTML/JavaScript gadget. To do that go to your Blogger Dashboard -> Layout -> Add a gadget -> Select HTML/JavaScript from the list -> Title the gadget and in contents paste the HTML code you got from the Paypal donation button generator.

Save the gadget and that's it.

Tip : You can add the donation button HTML anywhere applicable, for example inside the posts.

Tip : If you want to add the gadget below your posts then this tutorial[click to open] will help you.

Yeah ! That's it

Wasn't it so
simple ? Adding a Paypal donation button could be so easy with a latest
tutorial. I will be publishing another tutorial on custom Paypal donate
button, subscribe to our feed to get the updates.
