To make your blog more exciting, more marketable, and better-positioned amongst the search engines [higher search engine rankings through SEO], you need some javascript.
Special effects (involving text font, size, color and other glowing, throbbing, or typing simulations, scrolling copy, colors changing, moving images, buttons, built-in gadgets and widgets) will support increased traffic to your blog, increased backlinks, increased leads [whether you are marketing a newsletter, membership subscriptions, a product, a service or a book...even if your blog is e-commerce-oriented] ) will increase the appeal, stickiness and length of the average visit to your site. Your blog will look more professional, with fantastic results, and your effort will be minimal.
Most free javascript resource sites are designed for websites and require a bit of dabbling about in the netherworld of your template, or inserting different bits of code in either the head or body of your blog. I would just as soon perform cardiac surgery on myself with a salad fork.
There is, however, one site where you can get terrific javascript which can simply copy and paste right onto your blog (in the HTML "zones") or even, in some cases, into your posts.
The site is http://www.javascriptfreecode.com/index.htm, and it is the greatest mini-utility ever created for bloggers who enjoy writing but do not want to 1) learn to do any coding or programming at all, and 2) don't want have to run crying to some neighborhood know-it-all, some "geeks for hire" service (those folks are incredible, but not always the best company), or, worst of all, strike a deal with a webmaster to upgrade, manage or otherwise fool with your blog -- often at great expense.
http://www.javascriptfreecode.com/index.htm is the best quick-code-in-a-flash fix. I would suggest that you visit the site, look over the entire menu of "special effects," and then chose one or two to put into the HTML zones of your Blogger or WordPress blogs. Experiment a bit.
While the menu of scripts is limited, they are almost all functional, and they are almost all completely ready to simply copy and paste.
They do ask that you give them some honorable mention on your blog, but it is unobtrusive, and actually kind of cute. I'll give them some credit. Watch closely:
JavaScript Free Code
That's pretty much all that there is to it. Enjoy it and spread the word to all of the other bloggers out there. Our numbers are growing!
To the blogosphere....and beyond!
Faithfully,
Douglas Castle
