How to redirect blogger blog to blogspot.com address

This is a guest post from Darssh. Darssh is a Blogger, Entrepreneur and Internet Lover.

It is not a new thing since few days that your blogspot.com blog may redirect to a country based
domain. Perhaps it is worldwide. Every blogger blog owner may have the same problem of automatic
redirection. So here in this post, we have a tweak that enables your blog to stay on blogspot.com URL.

Well, first of all let's answer the question. Why a .com redirect to a ccTLD (Country Specific Top Level
Domain) URL may hurt you? This is because according to MR. Search Engine Optimizer's law, you can't
host the same content on different domains. If you are using blogger on your own top level domain,
then there is no point of worry. But if your blog has a .blogspot.com address in its tail, then it may hurt
you.

So, let's get into the answer now. Here is the simplest JavaScript code (Pretty short too!) that you can
use to save your blog from being redirected:

if ((window.location.href.toString().indexOf('.com/'))=='-1') {
window.location.href =

window.location.href.toString().replace('.blogspot.in/','.blogsp
ot.com/ncr/');
}

Place this in the HTML code of your blog and you won't see any redirect further.

Demo

Note:

This code is for stopping .blogspot.in redirects. You need to change it to your own country's TLD.

Animated gif image: How to change size

Posted: 08 Feb 2012 10:59 PM PST

This in response to a question in Uploading animated .gif image to Blogger post which asked: "please tell me how to change height and width of that image?"

The answer is very simple if you just know a little of HTML. To display a picture on the web, an image tag <img> is used. Thus:

<img src="image URL" />
(just concentrate on img leaving aside src if you are not familiar with HTML)

To change the size, just add the attributes width="some number" and height="some number" (Note: the picture will be distorted {aspect ration changed) unless you keep the ratio constant. The task will be made easier if you just add the width attribute only leaving out the height and the height will be adjusted accordingly, or just add the height attribute only.

For example, in the HTML to display the animated gif image in Testing uploading animated gif image (image replicated below),

gif image uploaded direct from Blogger post editor

the following code is used:

<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqf_4Gy9YqFLNf83qi8TpgcSgV5dqP8sQ2fs4OnPc84R4wr4OvFgDQbH2Rpgquu0hle5MmxgeZkGUtB6hJ7HKAsNl5tKHqkH7DVXUsjZRsAebuxVjhFVAxxUwQzr2AB-NLRAAgUQYErdg/s1600-h/starandbird.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqf_4Gy9YqFLNf83qi8TpgcSgV5dqP8sQ2fs4OnPc84R4wr4OvFgDQbH2Rpgquu0hle5MmxgeZkGUtB6hJ7HKAsNl5tKHqkH7DVXUsjZRsAebuxVjhFVAxxUwQzr2AB-NLRAAgUQYErdg/s400/starandbird.gif" border="0" alt="gif image uploaded direct from Blogger post editor"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5108675258397126626" /></a>

Now when I add width="350" to the img tag as shown below (note: just concentrate on img and ignore the rest):

<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqf_4Gy9YqFLNf83qi8TpgcSgV5dqP8sQ2fs4OnPc84R4wr4OvFgDQbH2Rpgquu0hle5MmxgeZkGUtB6hJ7HKAsNl5tKHqkH7DVXUsjZRsAebuxVjhFVAxxUwQzr2AB-NLRAAgUQYErdg/s1600-h/starandbird.gif"><img width="350" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqf_4Gy9YqFLNf83qi8TpgcSgV5dqP8sQ2fs4OnPc84R4wr4OvFgDQbH2Rpgquu0hle5MmxgeZkGUtB6hJ7HKAsNl5tKHqkH7DVXUsjZRsAebuxVjhFVAxxUwQzr2AB-NLRAAgUQYErdg/s400/starandbird.gif" border="0" alt="gif image uploaded direct from Blogger post editor"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5108675258397126626" /></a>

the image is enlarged as in the image below:

Now to make it smaller, the attribute width="50" is added instead as in

<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqf_4Gy9YqFLNf83qi8TpgcSgV5dqP8sQ2fs4OnPc84R4wr4OvFgDQbH2Rpgquu0hle5MmxgeZkGUtB6hJ7HKAsNl5tKHqkH7DVXUsjZRsAebuxVjhFVAxxUwQzr2AB-NLRAAgUQYErdg/s1600-h/starandbird.gif"><img width="50" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqf_4Gy9YqFLNf83qi8TpgcSgV5dqP8sQ2fs4OnPc84R4wr4OvFgDQbH2Rpgquu0hle5MmxgeZkGUtB6hJ7HKAsNl5tKHqkH7DVXUsjZRsAebuxVjhFVAxxUwQzr2AB-NLRAAgUQYErdg/s400/starandbird.gif" border="0" alt="gif image uploaded direct from Blogger post editor"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5108675258397126626" width="50"/></a>

and as expected, the animated picture is now smaller:
