How to Remove the Blogger NavBar?
 We’re doing many Blogger conversions this month and Blogger has decided to keep the Blogger Navbar intact. (i.e. we can’t switch it off).
We’re not a big fan and wanted to remove it.
Here is how we removed the Blogger NavBar.
- Login to Blogger
- Click on the Template tab
- Add this code to the <head> tag:
<style type="text/css">
#navbar-iframe {
display: none !important;
}</style>
- Click the Save Template Changes button
- You’re done

Save a Tree: Print to a PDF
 Happy Earth Day 2010!
One thing I’ve done to reduce my carbon footprint is to print all my documents to PDF (Portable Document Format).
I wrote about a free program that will print your documents to PDF format. It’s called CutePDF and I recommend it highly.
What can you do to reduce your carbon footprint?

Best SEO Title Tag for Your Business
I just found the best SEO (search engine optimization) title tag for your business:
“Wedding photography San Francisco Bay Area, Napa, Destination weddings”
The text explains what she does, where she does it and what service she provides.
I really like this title tag. Think about how you search for services on the internet. Most likely you’re typing in what the service is and where to find it. I think the last item in the tag should be extra, like the problems you solve.
The title tag is the most important piece when optimizing your website. Google and other search engines examine the title tag first before anything else to figure out what the page is about, so you better have some strong, targeted keywords.
The reason the above title tag is so good, is that it’s concise. A big mistake is to load up this tag with many keywords. This is bad because many of these words will compete against each other and search engines will not index every keyword the same. You may lose rankings because of it. Heck, I’ve seen websites at the top of the search engines with only one keyword phrase. Now that’s targeted.

Convert Your Website Design Files to SEO Friendly HTML Code
MJS Web Solutions, not only designs websites from the ground up, we also can convert an existing design or mockup to SEO (search engine optimization) friendly HTML code.
We noticed, Luna Packaging, a client of ours had redesigned their website, except each page was an image. The design looked great, but Google and other search engines could not index the text, because the text was an image. We notified our client and got the okay to redesign the site by converting the existing design images to SEO friendly HTML code.
 Luna Packaging & Autism Answers Websites A new client of ours, Autism Answers, came to us needing to re-build their website. Each page on their website were also images, not HTML code and text. Again, we converted the design image files into SEO friendly HTML code.
Now each website is:
- much faster to download
- easier to maintain
- And being index by the search engines.
Is your site one big image? If so, it’s not getting the traffic it deserves.
MJS Web Solutions offers a full variety of website services that are focused on enriching your customers experience and getting traffic to your website.
