Add Your Blog Sitemap to Google Webmaster

This video tutorial describes how you can add your blogspot.com blog to Google Webmaster Tools using an XML sitemap.



Add Your Blogspot Blog Sitemap to Google Webmaster Tools

Step 1. Open the Google Webmaster Tools website at google.com/webmasters and click "Add a Site" button to submit your Blogger blogger.

You can either type the web address (URL) of your blogspot.com blog or even a self-hosted blog where you are using the Blogger platform with your personal domain.

Step 2. Google will ask you to verify that you are the owner of this blog. Just copy-paste the meta code to the clipboard and then paste* this information into the template of your Blogspot blog.

*You should switch to the "HTML" version of your blog template and paste the code just below the tag.

Step 3. Go back to Google Webmaster Tools and select "Sitemaps" from the right sidebar. Now click the "Submit a Sitemap" button.

Step 4. Type atom.xml?redirect=false and submit. Once the clock status icon changes to a green tick, your Blogger sitemap has been successfully submitted to Google for indexing.

* If you are using FeedBurner for your Blogger RSS Feeds, the redirect=false parameter will force Google to download your Blogger feed and not the FeedBurner feed.

How to Download Contacts from Facebook To Outlook Address Book

Facebook users are not too pleased with the "walled garden" approach of Facebook. The reason is simple - while you can easily import your Outlook address book and GMail contacts into Facebook, the reverse path is closed. There's no "official" way to export your Facebook friends email addresses or contact phone numbers out as a CSV file so that you can sync the contacts data with Outlook, GMail or your BlackBerry. Some third-party Facebook hacks like "Facebook Sync" (for Mac) and "Facebook Downloader" (for Windows) did allow you to download your Facebook friends' names, emails, mobile phone number and profile photo to the desktop but they were quickly removed for violation of Facebook Terms of Use.

PhishTank Detects Phishing Websites by Digg Style Voting

OpenDNS, a free service that helps anyone surf the Internet faster with a simple DNS tweak , will announce PhishTank today. PhishTank is a free public database of phishing URLs where anyone can submit their phishes via email or through the website. The submissions are verified by the other community members who then vote for the suspected site. This is such a neat idea as sites can be categorized just based on user feedback without even having to manually verify each and every submission. PhishTank employs the "feedback loop" mechanism where users will be kept updated with the status' of the phish they submit either via email alerts or a personal RSS feed . Naturally, once the PhishTank databases grows, other sites can harness the data using open APIs which will remain free. OpenDNS would also use this data to improve their existing phishing detection algorithms which are already very impressive and efficient. PhishTank | PhishTank Blog [Thanks Allison] Related: Google
