With several months experience working with html code on my Blogger blogs looking at this site again with fresh eyes I now see where a lot of things can be placed on this site without uploading everything as a file. There are many things that simply cannot be uploaded as a file anyway that actually can also be embeded onto a page or on your profile. I am no expert in html code or website making – that should be obvious because I don’t know the proper terminology for such things. Although it is still a trial and error lifestyle being a member of this site my endeavour to help others with their profiles has become a big concern and obsession with me. I guess this is why I have begun making video tutorials for this site, and why I wrote up the entire FAQ by myself. Paul Fanning just added it to his website template.

I have over 100 video tutorials I plan on making for this site but whether I will make them all is another story. Some of them I will turn into tutorials just like this one and they will become blog posts. I am considering deleting my current blogs and replacing them with an alienufosightingsvideo blog devoted to helping people with html codes, etc. You know the sort of help blog I’m referring to, right? Well, it’ll be like how to add certain html codes to let’s say add a side panel to your blog or something silly like that or how to add certain functions to help improve the look of your blog or profile. Everybody wants to have all their stuff out there and recognized by the bigger rating providers (like Google or Alexa) and have all their content searchable and indexed. You can achieve that on this site but it does take time to achieve.

Blogging is never one of the easiest things to do on any site least of all this one. At first glance the blog page is dull, unchangeable and well, pretty lifeless if you ask me. The same can be said about a standard profile page but at least you can swap widgets about and edit them but it’s still pretty much the same though. Boring!

So let me turn that frown upside down and share with you the many ways of improving, altering, and adding content to your profile or blog that will make you a lot happier. This blog is all about just that!

Let’s say you want to share your profile with someone on Facebook, or be able to email a friend or yourself a copy of your profile page. Most people, when they come to this site do not usually add other things to their profile except for the basic information required to build a profile, if anything at all. Some people still don’t know how to do the most basic functions on this site and that is fine. I guess that is what I am here for. But as the only member who sees so much potential and the most actively involved with wanting to help improve this site I must say that there is so much you can do with your profile once you know how and it can be made to be as active and prominent as any other popular website. Ok, it’s not the most perfect website for a social network site at the moment and the little problems that do arise on this site you can simply go around most of the time. They are not major problems to really be concerned with or stress over.

Sharing your profile with another person or website is probably one of the easiest things to do in the world. It doesn’t involve skill as such – even a monkey could do it. Below is the code for a “Addtoany.com” share button. It is one of my favourite all time buttons to have on any of my profiles anywhere. It is a simple button that has multiple functions as well as an email function built into it, so you can email anyone, even yourself, the entire page you place this button on. Well, in reality, that is the plan but what you end up with in an email to yourself is just a link to your “whatever” page you added the share button to. That’s frustrating and defies the whole point in sending an email in the first place. I’ve come up with a better solution for emails which I will discuss in another blog post. You can post the page on Facebook, MySpace, or numerous other profiles. Here’s the code for the share button:

<a href="http://www.addtoany.com/share_save?linkname=&linkurl=http://www.alienufosightingsvideo.com/pg/blog/bluelights><img src="http://static.addtoany.com/buttons/share_save_171_16.png" border="0" width="171" height="16" /></a>

Below is what the button looks like once added to your page. As you can see if you hover your mouse arrow over the button a lot of options are displayed. As the button suggests you can either share content or save content.

To add this button to your profile simply highlight and copy the above button code, or go to the www.Addtoany.com website and choose your own button, style and size you want to add to your profile. Don’t worry, you do not need to register and the button code is entirely free. I’ve tested the button out on numerous profiles and it works, even on this website. The code must be copied either way! Then go to your alienufosightingsvideo profile page and click on “edit profile”. In the “about me” section click on the “HTML” square button at the top of that section. When the html pop-up box appears scroll down to the very bottom of all the text and/or code and on a new line at the very bottom right click your mouse and select and click on “paste” in the drop down mouse menu. The share/save button code is then pasted into the html box. You only then need to remove my URL http://www.alienufosightingsvideo.com/pg/blog/bluelights and replace it with your own url. You can also adjust the width "171" and make that number smaller, as well as adjusting the height "16" to make it bigger or smaller to suit your needs. Then just click on update and the share/save button will appear in the profile editor section right at the very bottom of the “about me” section. Simply click on “save” at the bottom of that page to add the button to your profile page. It’s that easy!

So, where can you put this share/save button? Well, where do you want to put it? You can add it to a blog post or to your entire blog. You can add it to a page, to your profile page. You can add it as a comment along with a text or video comment. The possibilities are endless really!
