How to Display Author Profile in every Blogger Blog Post

If you are an author of any blogger blog and write articles on various topics, you may would like to show your name and profile photo with some introduction in each blog post.

By default Blogger BlogSpot Blog displays the only name of post author with link to the blogger blog author profile (if not linked to Google+) at the end of each blog posts. But, many bloggers want to display their name at the top of every article and a short author bio with image and name below each blog post.

However, if you have customised your blogger template or using third party downloaded free blogger templates then it may be possible that the author profile is not working for your blog. So, please read this article very carefully and enjoy the right to show your name with intro in each article/posts.

• How to show Author Profile Name on the top in each blog post

1. Sign-in to your blogger account and click on your blog name or go to the dashboard.
2. Click on Layout tab menu from left sidebar
3. Click the Edit link of Blog Posts widget.
4. Now, check the Posted by option box under Post Page Options and save the widget.

You may change the words “Posted by” with the words you want to display like “Written by” or “Author” etc.

• How to shift the Author name from bottom to top of blog post

First of all visit your blog dashboard and navigate to the layout option and then click on Edit link of Blog Posts widget which is the biggest one among other blogger gadgets.

Now, scroll down to see arrange items and then click and drag the author (posted by) box just above the Post Body.

However, if the above process not working for your blog or you want to show a customised author name with image then use the following tricks.

• How to show Customised Author Profile Name on the top in each blog post

Go to the Edit HTML template of your blog and search for ]]>

 and paste the following CSS codes just above/before it.

/* code begin */

.swt-author {

background-color: aliceblue;

font-weight: bold;

border-top: 1px solid #321;

border-left: 2px solid #000;

border-right: 2px solid #000;

border-bottom: 1px solid #123;

overflow: auto;

}

.swt-author name {

display: inline-block;

font-size: 15px;

float: left;

text-align: center;

margin: 5px;

white-space: nowrap;

}

.swt-author name a {

font-style: italic;

color: #fff;

background-color: #000;

padding: 12px;

padding-top: 1px;

padding-bottom: 2px;

/* code end */}

Now, search for

class='post-header-line-1'/>

You will see the same line in two places of your blogger templates. Don’t worry the first one is for mobile templates and the last one is for desktop templates. Therefore just below/after both the lines paste the following HTML codes so that all visitors will be able to see the author name.

<!—Custom Author Name by www.superwebtricks.com -->

<div class='swt-author'><name> Author

<a expr:href='data:post.authorProfileUrl' rel='author' title='author profile'>

How to Get a Google Voice Phone Number

Google Voice is a free service that allows people to choose a local number for voice mail and calling purposes. You can link your Google Voice number with your cell phone number and/or land line, so that you receive a call on all your phones and easily forward calls to transcribed voice mail when you are unavailable. Follow these directions to get a Google Voice phone number and start to use your account.

Part 1 of 4: Log into Google

1. 
   
   
   1
   Go to www.Google.com/voice. Sign into your Google account. All of Google's products are now unified, so you will use the same username and password you use for Gmail.

   • If you do not use any Google products currently, then you will want to create a Google account. Go to accounts.google.com/NewAccount to enter your information and sign up.
2. 
   2
   Wait for the prompt on the Google.com/voice site that says "Set up your Google Voice Number."

   • If the prompt does not appear, click on the link that says "Get a Google Voice Number" on the left hand side of the page.

Part 2 of 4: Choose a Google Voice Number

1. 
   1
   Click on the "I want a new number" button in the first set up prompt.

   • You have the option to set up the Google Voice account with your mobile phone number. That will keep you from being able to use some of Google Voice's features. You can always use your Google Voice number in conjunction with your mobile phone number.
2. 
   2
   Enter your zip code or area code to find an available local number. Click "Next."

   • If no phone numbers are available, enter a nearby zip code. Some large metropolitan areas do not have local phone numbers available.
   • If you are starting a Google Voice account in order to make free phone calls within the US or Canada, you can choose a phone in the zip code where your most-called family members or friends live. People who use land lines can call your Google Voice number free of charge, and it will ring on your cell phone number.
3. 
   3
   Choose your number from a list of numbers when you find a zip code with available phone numbers. Click on the circle next to the number and choose "Continue."

   • Remember that you must pay to switch your number in the future, so choose well.

   Enter the number of your choice. Select what type of phone it is.
3. 
   3
   Find the confirmation number on the next prompt screen. Click the "Call Me Now" button to verify it. Make sure your other phone is nearby so that you can answer it.

   • The confirmation allows Google Voice to ensure that you are using a forwarding phone that belongs to you.

   Answer the phone. Type in the confirmation number when prompted.
5.

   Continue following the prompts to set up your personal voice mail message.One of the main advantages of Google Voice is that it offers digital voice mail with transcription so that you can get voice mail messages on your Gmail account.

   Add your credit card information under the "Billing" tab. This is only necessary if you want to make cheap international calls. You can check the rates for calls to foreign countries before you call.

How to Fix Problems with a MacBook Pro AC Adapter

When you buy an Apple MacBook or MacBook Pro, a power adapter comes with the system. Depending upon the model you have, you may have an 85W adapter or a 60 W adapter. You can use the adapter to charge the computer or to run it from a wall outlet. While these adapters are durable, they might start getting problems with time. Some adapters might get quite hot when you use them and some won't charge the unit. 

If you have a faulty Macbook Pro AC adapter, the easiest solution is to get it replaced by a brand new adapter. You can buy it from the Apple Store or an authorized reseller. Resellers often offer the best prices. 

Before buying a new 85W Magsafe power adapter, you may want to check whether you can fix the problem. Here are a few things you should do.

Unplug the adapter for a while. Apple adapters have a tendency to get very hot. Because of this reason, they come with a temperature sensor. If it overheats the sensor will shut it off. 

Some wall circuits may have excessive voltage spikes and drops. If they occur, the adapter may find it difficult to manage them. These spikes may cause the over-voltage protection circuit of the adapter to shut off. So unplug the unit from the computer and the wall. Put it in a well-ventilated area for about 10 minutes. This will most probably fix the problem. 

Poor cabling is another problem that affects adapters. Dirty contacts and broken cables can both prevent the adapter from working properly. Check the contacts to see if there're any obstructions. 

Apple provides an extension cable or a small plug with the adapter. Try using this to see if you can get the adapter working. Make sure that the indicator light is glowing green or amber. If it is charging the battery, it will glow amber. If it is not charging, but supplying power, it will glow green. Blinking lights or red lights almost always indicate a problem. If you find blinking lights, you should consider resetting your computer's system management controller. 

If none of these issues solve your problem, you will have to buy a new AC power adapter. You can find excellent replacement adapters at dvwarehouse.com. DV Warehouse is an authorized Apple reseller that offers the best prices on Apple products and Mac Parts at a Discount.
