The Beginning
Making an Adult Blog
While there are NO steps to the process set in stone there are a few basics that make it easier.
1-Decide the type of blog you want and the niche or niches you want to promote
2-Get a blog address. This can be done by installing wordpress at your host or by clicking HERE and name your blog to fit your niche chosen in step 1
3-Find a few sponsors that have sites in your chosen niche. At least three different sponsors is reccommended to start unless you are doing a multi-niched blog (then one sponsor with many sites will do). See sponsor link above.
4-Create Meta Tags for your blog. Don't know what those are? Check the articles under the link Meta above.
5-Read everything you can concerning SEO and ask questions on the AWG Forum. Also see SEO link above for some interesting insights.
6-Go to your sponsor sites and get what you need to add a few posts to your blog.
The above is VERY basic and just the beginning. As you progress along you will have a few hundred questions concerning everything from promotion/traffic to trades. But now you have a blog. Fine tuning it is where the fun begins.

Coyote over at AWG wrote this fantastic and very helpful article about putting banners and images into your blog.
There have been a number of topics posted about how to fix graphic elements added to a blog. Although this article was written to show how to add more boxes to your blog, you could use this technique to help solve the banner image problems. Before you begin, it would help to understand the default layout of your blog template. After that, you will see how easy it is to change the way you want it to appear. If you already understand the template layout, then you can skip to the next section.
The purpose of style sheets is to remove the presentation layer from the content layer. This means that you, as a writer, only need to be concerned with writing your content, while the designer is concerned with creating an aesthetically pleasing presentation. You get to perform both tasks, but it is made easier for you by incorporating style sheets. Don't be hesitant about changing style settings. The easiest way to learn it is to do it. -- Sounds just like a sex talk show.
There is a great help page about how the blog templates are configured. Read a csstut first. It will illustrate the layout and describes the CSS attributes for the different items within your blog. You may want to open the page in a new tab for reference while reading this article. I apologize up front for being long-winded.
I hesitate to add a disclaimer here because there isn't anything that can break from its use. But I do want to let you know that the information presented here is based on the default templates. If you have already modified your template, then you will need to adjust the sample code accordingly. I have used this technique for my blogs so the code does work. If you mess something up, you can always revert back to the default settings. [soapbox]I dislike calling HTML 'code'. It's not code, it is a markup tag system derived from GML/SGML back in the IBM BookMaster and DrawMaster era. There. I've done given away my age. [/soapbox]
To begin, select a blog you want to modify, and select the following menu options:
Looks - HTML templates - All templates The "All templates on one page" page is displayed. You can scroll down to see each area of the template. We'll be using the following sections on this page: <br> The second box, "The CSS codes" The third box, "HTML code just after <body>" The fourth box, "HTML code for the layout table" The seventh box, "HTML code just before </body>" These areas contain the CSS settings and HTML elements used to define the overall layout of the blog.
The default blog templates come in two content styles, a two-column format, and a three-column format. We aren't concerned about what is contained within each area at this time. We will get to that later.
If you look at the 'Choose template' menu option, you can see that all blog templates contain the following areas, depending upon the template you chose. These areas are:
Header - This is normally where you site title is displayed. Left Side - This is where the box options you selected (See Box Move) are displayed down the left-hand side of your blog. Right Side - This is where the box options you selected (See Box Move) are displayed down the right-hand side of your blog. Note: The Left Side OR the Right Side may not be displayed in the two-column format. Which side depends on the selected blog. For example, the template 'Iceberg' has a right side and no left side, while the template 'Old Iceberg' has a left side and no right side. Center - This is where the content of your blog is displayed. Your blog entries are displayed sequentially down the center of your blog. Footer - The information in the footer is displayed at the bottom of your blog.
You can reference the csstut page to see the Left Side, Center, and Right Side (shown in red), and the Header/Footer in the background.
The blog templates use HTML element tags to control the size, position, and containment of the CSS elements. In this example, I will use a three-column layout for demonstration. Note that a two-column layout will use the same method; it just won't have either a Left Side OR a Right Side. It will, however, have one of them.
The following is an HTML three-column layout. I have removed some parameters and other tags for clarity. You can see the complete content in the "All templates" page. The HTML to accomplish the three-column layout looks like this:
html code
/* Defined in "HTML code just after <body>" section. <DIV align="center"> /* centers the entire blog on the screen <TABLE width=770 border=0><TR><TD> /*sets the table width to 770 pixels. /* Defined in "HTML code for the layout table" section. <TABLE> <TR> <TD> <DIV id="navleft"> /* The boxes selected for display on the left side [COL_LEFT] </DIV> </TD> <TD> <DIV id="content"> /* All your blog entries are contained here [COL_MAIN] </DIV> </TD> <TD> <DIV id="navright"> /* The boxes selected for display on the right side [COL_RIGHT] </DIV> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> /* Defined in "HTML code just before </body>" section </TD></TR></TABLE> </DIV>
One important element that you should consider changing is defined in the "HTML code just after body" section. Specifically, you may want to change the TABLE width attribute to width='99%'. Having the value 770 means that the entire width of your blog is hard coded to 770 pixels. This was done to make sure the blog will display on an 800x600 resolution monitor. This is all well and good, but it doesn't allow for expansion for those who use a higher res setting. More importantly, it limits you on the sizes you can define for the content displayed on the left and right of your blog. If you prefer additional white-space on the left- and right-hand side of your blog, try setting the width to 95% or 90%.
Note: Do NOT use a width of 100%. Previous IE versions specifically, and some other browsers, don't display all content correctly if the initial table width is set at 100%.
The default three-column template uses the following style settings (See the second box, "The CSS codes"
:
#navright{ width: 200px; }
#navleft{ width: 200px; }
#content{ margin:0px; }
The '#' indicates any HTML element with an 'ID' parameter, the name 'navright' is the ID value (e.g., DIV ID='navright' ), and the width value is defined as 200 pixels. This is effectively setting the width of the TD element to 200 pixels. However, if the image you place on the left side is 240 pixels wide, you may see the overhanging 40 pixels 'bleed' into the center content area. Older browsers couldn't handle this appropriately. Thanks to the war between Nutscrape and Internet Exploder for these wonderful features.
You may be thinking, "That's what I need to change!". And you would be partially correct. You do need to adjust the width of either the left- or right-hand side to accommodate the largest width item you want to display. However, you should also know that you must take into account any margin or padding settings. So, the result for a 240px-wide banner with a containing box (See .boxbody, first entry) padding of 10px (padding + margin) on the left and right yields 260 pixels. This will allow your 240px-wide banner to display un-altered within the box.
Note: Most banners that you download from your sponsors are default sizes. For vertical banners, these sizes are 468h x 60w or 80w. Which corresponds to the horizontal banners 468w x 60h or 80h. There are other larger sizes that are becoming more accepted, again, due to users with higher resolution settings. I strongly recommend that you stick with the standard sizes for the sake of the old-timer and his CRT.
Now, before you go and start changing the #navleft width value, you might want to make another width setting change so that your blog will expand and contract on the browser resize event. To make the center section expand or contract you can specify the width in two places: in the #content style attribute, or in the table data (TD) tag. The following HTML code (excerpt from above) illustrates each setting.
html code
... <TD width='100%'> /* Set the width parameter here... <DIV id="content"> /* All your blog entries are contained here [COL_MAIN] </DIV> </TD> ... OR ... #content{ margin:0px; width:100%; } /* or set the width parameter here. ...
You can make this change in either location. It is entirely up to you. Just make it in one location and not both. It won't hurt having it in both locations, but that leads to sloppy coding practice, and we don't want the 'wrath of twan' upon us.
One thing you may notice from the style settings and the structure of the blog layout is that you can create your own box to contain items and provide your own styles without affecting the existing blog settings. An example might help explain this.
Let's take the 240px-wide banner and place it in a user-defined box on the left-hand side of our blog. The first thing you should do is define what you want the box to look like. For this example, let's say we do not want a border around the box, and we want it to appear transparent (i.e., the page background shows through).
copy the existing styles for a box in order to create our own box.
In the second box, "The CSS codes" section, immediately below the last .boxbody{...} entry, create a new line and type the following:
.boxbanner{ border: 0px; margin: 5px 0px 5px 0px;}
and press Enter.
Note: The '.' denotes a class where the '#' denotes an ID. Its the difference between DIV ID='' and DIV class=''. See the w3c docs for more information about CSS.
Now, go to the fourth box, "HTML code for the layout table", and enter the following where noted. Make sure to change the values to the appropriate values for your sponsor and source url of your image.
html code
... <TD> <DIV id="navleft"> /* The boxes selected for display on the left side [COL_LEFT] </DIV> /* Enter our user-defined box here. <DIV class='boxbanner'> <A href='destination' target='_blank' title='title'> <IMG src='location' ALT='alt'> </A> </DIV> </TD> ...
Our user-defined box will display below any content on the left-hand side of your blog. You can define other style settings for this box, such as a different background color, or border type. You can also place any content within this box you want your visitors to see, and, you can copy and paste as many of the user-defined boxes as you want on the left- and right-hand sides.
If you want to add a user-defined box to the top of your blog, simply create another style (e.g., .boxbannertop) and locate the following entry in the third box, "HTML code just after " section:
html code
<div align="center"> /* Insert boxbannertop box here <DIV class='boxbannertop'> <A href='destination' target='_blank' title='title'> <IMG src='location' ALT='alt'> </A> </DIV> <table width='770' border=0><tr><td> ...
To add a user-defined box to the bottom of your blog requires a little more effort. See the seventh box, "HTML code just before " section. The default template HTML code looks like this:
html code
</td></tr></table> </div>
These HTML tags are 'closing' the main TABLE tag and DIVision tag as specified in the third box, "HTML code just after body" section. In order to add content at the bottom, there are three things you should consider:
Do you want the content to align with the center content of your blog?
Do you want the content to align with the width of your blog (sides + center)?
Do you want the content to span the width of the browser window?
The one you choose determines the method to use. Regardless of your choice, you should create a style, say, .boxbannerbottom in the second box, "The CSS codes" section like we did before. Each of these options is explained below.
If you want to display content that spans the width of the center content of your blog, then you need to add the following HTML tags in the seventh box, "HTML code just before /body" section.
html code
</td></tr> <tr><td width='100%'> /* Insert new Table Row (TR) and Table Data (TD) tags. /* Insert boxbannerbottom box here <DIV class='boxbannerbottom'> /* Add whatever content you want displayed. <A href='destination' target='_blank' title='title'> <IMG src='location' ALT='alt'> </A> </DIV> </td></tr></table> </div>
If you want to have your user-defined box span the total width of your blog, then you need to add the following HTML tags in the seventh box, "HTML code just before /body" section.
html code
</td></tr></table> /* close the previous TABLE, but not the DIV. <table width='770' border=0><tr><td> /* Insert new Table after previous table. /* Insert boxbannerbottom box here <DIV class='boxbannerbottom'> /* Add whatever content you want displayed. <A href='destination' target='_blank' title='title'> <IMG src='location' ALT='alt'> </A> </DIV> </td></tr></table> /* Close the new table. </div>
Finally, if you want to have your user-defined box span the width of the browser window, then you need to add the following HTML tags in the seventh box, "HTML code just before " section.
html code
</td></tr></table> </div> <table width='99%' border=0><tr><td> /* Insert new Table after previous table and div. /* Insert boxbannerbottom box here <DIV class='boxbannerbottom'> /* Add whatever content you want displayed. <A href='destination' target='_blank' title='title'> <IMG src='location' ALT='alt'> </A> </DIV> </td></tr></table> /* Close the new table.
Note: In the above options where you create a new table, you could build a complete page within its confines if you so desired.

Getting Started
To begin, select a blog you want to modify, and select the following menu options:
Looks - HTML templates - All templates The "All templates on one page" page is displayed. You can scroll down to see each area of the template. We'll be using the following sections on this page: <br> The second box, "The CSS codes" The third box, "HTML code just after <body>" The fourth box, "HTML code for the layout table" The seventh box, "HTML code just before </body>" These areas contain the CSS settings and HTML elements used to define the overall layout of the blog.
Default Layout
The default blog templates come in two content styles, a two-column format, and a three-column format. We aren't concerned about what is contained within each area at this time. We will get to that later.
If you look at the 'Choose template' menu option, you can see that all blog templates contain the following areas, depending upon the template you chose. These areas are:

Right Side - This is where the box options you selected (See Box Move) are displayed down the right-hand side of your blog. Note: The Left Side OR the Right Side may not be displayed in the two-column format. Which side depends on the selected blog. For example, the template 'Iceberg' has a right side and no left side, while the template 'Old Iceberg' has a left side and no right side. Center - This is where the content of your blog is displayed. Your blog entries are displayed sequentially down the center of your blog. Footer - The information in the footer is displayed at the bottom of your blog.
You can reference the csstut page to see the Left Side, Center, and Right Side (shown in red), and the Header/Footer in the background.
HTML Elements
The blog templates use HTML element tags to control the size, position, and containment of the CSS elements. In this example, I will use a three-column layout for demonstration. Note that a two-column layout will use the same method; it just won't have either a Left Side OR a Right Side. It will, however, have one of them.
The following is an HTML three-column layout. I have removed some parameters and other tags for clarity. You can see the complete content in the "All templates" page. The HTML to accomplish the three-column layout looks like this:

I strongly recommend that you stick with the standard sizes for the sake of the old-timer and his CRT.
Changing your blog settings
Now, before you go and start changing the #navleft width value, you might want to make another width setting change so that your blog will expand and contract on the browser resize event. To make the center section expand or contract you can specify the width in two places: in the #content style attribute, or in the table data (TD) tag. The following HTML code (excerpt from above) illustrates each setting.

Tips n' Tricks
One thing you may notice from the style settings and the structure of the blog layout is that you can create your own box to contain items and provide your own styles without affecting the existing blog settings. An example might help explain this.
Let's take the 240px-wide banner and place it in a user-defined box on the left-hand side of our blog. The first thing you should do is define what you want the box to look like. For this example, let's say we do not want a border around the box, and we want it to appear transparent (i.e., the page background shows through).
copy the existing styles for a box in order to create our own box.
In the second box, "The CSS codes" section, immediately below the last .boxbody{...} entry, create a new line and type the following:
.boxbanner{ border: 0px; margin: 5px 0px 5px 0px;}
and press Enter.
Note: The '.' denotes a class where the '#' denotes an ID. Its the difference between DIV ID='' and DIV class=''. See the w3c docs for more information about CSS.
Now, go to the fourth box, "HTML code for the layout table", and enter the following where noted. Make sure to change the values to the appropriate values for your sponsor and source url of your image.
html code
... <TD> <DIV id="navleft"> /* The boxes selected for display on the left side [COL_LEFT] </DIV> /* Enter our user-defined box here. <DIV class='boxbanner'> <A href='destination' target='_blank' title='title'> <IMG src='location' ALT='alt'> </A> </DIV> </TD> ...
Our user-defined box will display below any content on the left-hand side of your blog. You can define other style settings for this box, such as a different background color, or border type. You can also place any content within this box you want your visitors to see, and, you can copy and paste as many of the user-defined boxes as you want on the left- and right-hand sides.
Creating boxes for the top of your blog
If you want to add a user-defined box to the top of your blog, simply create another style (e.g., .boxbannertop) and locate the following entry in the third box, "HTML code just after " section:
html code
<div align="center"> /* Insert boxbannertop box here <DIV class='boxbannertop'> <A href='destination' target='_blank' title='title'> <IMG src='location' ALT='alt'> </A> </DIV> <table width='770' border=0><tr><td> ...
Creating boxes for the bottom of your blog
To add a user-defined box to the bottom of your blog requires a little more effort. See the seventh box, "HTML code just before " section. The default template HTML code looks like this:
html code
</td></tr></table> </div>
These HTML tags are 'closing' the main TABLE tag and DIVision tag as specified in the third box, "HTML code just after body" section. In order to add content at the bottom, there are three things you should consider:
Do you want the content to align with the center content of your blog?
Do you want the content to align with the width of your blog (sides + center)?
Do you want the content to span the width of the browser window?
The one you choose determines the method to use. Regardless of your choice, you should create a style, say, .boxbannerbottom in the second box, "The CSS codes" section like we did before. Each of these options is explained below.
If you want to display content that spans the width of the center content of your blog, then you need to add the following HTML tags in the seventh box, "HTML code just before /body" section.
html code
</td></tr> <tr><td width='100%'> /* Insert new Table Row (TR) and Table Data (TD) tags. /* Insert boxbannerbottom box here <DIV class='boxbannerbottom'> /* Add whatever content you want displayed. <A href='destination' target='_blank' title='title'> <IMG src='location' ALT='alt'> </A> </DIV> </td></tr></table> </div>
If you want to have your user-defined box span the total width of your blog, then you need to add the following HTML tags in the seventh box, "HTML code just before /body" section.
html code
</td></tr></table> /* close the previous TABLE, but not the DIV. <table width='770' border=0><tr><td> /* Insert new Table after previous table. /* Insert boxbannerbottom box here <DIV class='boxbannerbottom'> /* Add whatever content you want displayed. <A href='destination' target='_blank' title='title'> <IMG src='location' ALT='alt'> </A> </DIV> </td></tr></table> /* Close the new table. </div>
Finally, if you want to have your user-defined box span the width of the browser window, then you need to add the following HTML tags in the seventh box, "HTML code just before " section.
html code
</td></tr></table> </div> <table width='99%' border=0><tr><td> /* Insert new Table after previous table and div. /* Insert boxbannerbottom box here <DIV class='boxbannerbottom'> /* Add whatever content you want displayed. <A href='destination' target='_blank' title='title'> <IMG src='location' ALT='alt'> </A> </DIV> </td></tr></table> /* Close the new table.
Note: In the above options where you create a new table, you could build a complete page within its confines if you so desired.
Conclusion
We've shown that you can add more boxes than what is available from within the current template. These user-defined boxes could be used to display hosted picture galleries, movies, GOTDs, or your own content. The only drawback to the methods presented here is that you edit the content from the Looks -HTML templates - All templates menu rather than within the boxes themselves like you would from the Options - Boxes menu.ORIGINAL POST GET ALL HTML CODE BLOCKS THERE

Key Tips For A successful Blog
Most of the veterans out there likely won't find much use for this thread but I mainly just wanted to help the newbies who might be interested in learning more about blogging.
First of all keep in mind that launching a successful blog is not necessarily as simple as some may think. You need to remember that each day thousands of new blogs are launched which means more and more competition. So, you want your blog to stand out above the rest. I hope this thread is helpful.
Choose A Good Sponsor
You will need a good reliable sponsor such as Method Cash which frequently adds new fhg's and has plenty of fresh content for webmasters to promote. Affiliates can also trade hard links with the Method Cash hosted blog network through this script here and be credited for each sale that is made through the traffic you send.
Enhancing Images
Enhancing your images can greatly improve CTR (click through rate) and sales. Below is an example of an image I enhanced and you can see what a huge difference it makes. If you are not sure how to enhance images like this check out this tutorial here which guides you step by step how to achieve this.
Use Long Descriptions And Good Keywords
For the best results you will want to use long descriptions to entice your surfer to want more and you will need to include keywords that will get you listed with the search engines. I highly recommend Wordze which has many great keyword research tools and can tell you how popular certain words or phrases are and how often they are searched. It can be tricky but if you can find a popular keyword that doesn't have many results on the search engines this will increase your chances of being listed on the first results page.
Submit Your Blog To Directories
There are several adult blog directories out there which can help you gain exposure and traffic to your blog(s). I've created a text file with a list of blog directories that I know of and you can download it here. There are many more which aren't on that list but that is enough to get you started. Blog directories can help your blog(s) get spidered by the search engines but be sure to have at least 5-10 posts before promoting your blog because first impressions last forever.
RSS Feeds Via Email
Offering your subscribers an email version of your RSS feed can easily double or triple your amount of readers therefor increasing overall sales.
Blog And Ping
Once you've written a blog post you can gain more exposure to that post by using free pinging services such as Pingoat and Feed Shark.
You might ask "What exactly is a ping site?". Pinging services frequently scan blogs for updates. When you notify these services, by sending a PING, your newly updated blog gets published. So basically, instead of waiting days or possibly even weeks to be indexed by SE's, using PING services gets your newly published content indexed instantly.
