Speed Up Your Blog To The Top Google Pages

Speed up your blog from now on if you want your blog will be on the top of google's search pages. I choose to change my blogger template to W3C valid template and offcourse it's improve the loading speed. Google said that loading times / speed of the website or blog will effect the site or blog position in Google.

Matt Cutts who works for the Search Quality group in Google suggested http://code.google.com/speed to improve our blog performance. If loading times effect the search result, than the heavy blog that used many images, animations, videos and also music will be down to far. I don't know how far the effect since my blog loading speed is very good (I check with the Google Code: http://code.google.com/speed/page-speed/ and I get 86 from 100).

So, what about you?

Blogger Template W3C Valid

After using a good graphic template for several months, I choose to change the blogger template. Simple and more important is W3C valid. Start from blogwalking, I arrived at one blog that very simple layout and I see the 2 unique widget (W3C valid and CSS valid). I realize that I'm a newbie at blogging, so I search the information about W3C valid and why it's important as a standard. You can find the information from wiki.

I start looking for the free W3C valid and there is so hard to find the template (I know HTML and CSS but I'm not an expert to create the template). Finally I find a simple one from this site. Even the valid W3C only the main page but there is enough for me. I add the another widget that very important to me (twitter and RSS) from the Edit HTML (I insert the widget from page element and I got error after that so I choose to insert it from Edit HTML). Right now, I'll try so hard to fix another W3C and CSS error.

You can visit this site to check your blog valid W3C or not. You can see that a big website like yahoo and google also have an error. Confuse? Than find the answer.
