Everything About Automatic Redirection Domains On Blogger

 
Google takes effect a change that had been announced for a little over a month. Now, if you have a blog with domain. Blogspot.com, when someone reads from Spain will see it as [your blog name]. Blogspot.com.es the same blog, viewed from Argentina, will [your blog name]. Blogspot.com.ar

All about redirecting domains
The aim of Google with this change is simply to allow the application of local laws of each country regarding possible violations blog content. Although you as blog administrator you are in Spain, the content of your blog can be censored if such legislation violates Argentina. In that case can be locked to the readers of that country, remaining accessible to the rest.

For more information on this change please see the official documentation. For they have their own domain. Com,. Org,. Net this change does not affect them.
The country redirect the reader function is automatic and does not need to do any change in your Blogger settings.

Although in practice the blog administration 'work does not affect us as we continue going through this change of domain Blogger by country, brings with it some problems that you list them later.

From the point of view of marketing communication and the best thing is that your business cards continues to feature the url of your blog generic ie www. [Nombredelblog]. Blogspot.com

I have seen fit to inform you of these changes and to gather in this post resources and ideas that can be giving solution to different incidents. Here are the highlights:
Problems with the buttons on Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin counters to zero
The first sign of change by country domain is that social buttons show a zero. This is because everything that has been shared so far pointed to blogspot.com and not the new. Blogspot.com.es (Spain). If the code of your social buttons trickBlog've obtained, follow these steps to resolve this issue:

    Go to the Template tab
    Click the Create button Backup / Restore to create a copy
    Press the Edit HTML button
    Click Formated Template
    Search using Ctrl F or Ctrl B (Mac in Mac ⌘ ⌘ F or B) and this:

    expr: data-url = 'data: post.url'

    Replace carefully the findings of this one:

    expr: data-url = 'data: post.canonicalUrl'

If you have these buttons associated with each post, check the complete procedure and updated. Button Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, Print / export to PDF
It appears the quick edit button Gadgets
It is another consequence of this change, for solved at least temporarily displays your blog (you must be identified) and removes url.'s (Spain) and put / ncr. Example: www.miblog.blogspot.com / ncr

QR Codes. What are, what they are and how to add them to the blog

QR codes (Quick Response) barcodes are able to store certain types of information such as a URL, SMS, Email, Text, etc.. However, I can not use the word again as these codes were created in 1994, but, thanks to the rise of the new (now if) SMARTHPHONE smartphones or these QR codes are again very very fashionable.


It's funny how every day without hardly realizing it, many of our daily activities like shopping, gym, to the movies ... the parking and many are managed quickly and accurately through codes bar. This will also happen with this code whose use at this time is innovative and very common soon will find it everywhere.


Creative business card with a QR code included
Here's an example, ... a business card .. if, if the lifetime. Well, if you say you can generate a QR code and encode in a URL for example to your blog or website and that when this code as printed on your business card is scanned by the camera causes a SmartPhone connect the phone directly to the website.


Another example is to create a QR code with your personal information (vCard), when read with the teléfomo, contact details of your card will like a magic trick is trying to phone contacts .... just wonderful fast, direct and without typing anything. By including this QR code into the design of your business card you've become an interactive object.

It is best that you see with your own eyes. The first video, it shows the different real-world applications that are already making this code. The second shows you a LG marketing campaign based on the use of such codes.

Video example of applying multiple uses QR codes:


What kind of information can be stored in QR codes?
Here the list of what you can store in a QR code:

    Contact (vCard). Name, company, phone, address ...
    A web address (URL). For example the blog, to the web or even your profile on Facebook, Twitter, Linkld, Youtube, etc..
    An email address.
    A message like SMS.
    A phone number to make a call.
    A text up to 350 characters
    Parameters wireless network access.
    Data from an event to a calendar (date and time of start / end event name ...)
    A Geolocation to see it on a map.

How I can generate a QR code?
There are many free online services. Below is a list of the ones I tested and I liked (all are in English):

    Zxing. It is clear, simple and allows you to download QR code generated
    QR4. Very flexible and can download the code vector file. Very professional
    Delivr QR Code Generator. It has everything you need, very clear interface.


What happens when read with mobile QR code?
When your SmartPhone read the QR code will cause an action according to the type of information stored in the code, ie connect to a web address or send an SMS message, create a calendar event, make a phone call, etc. .
Post. Your SmartPhone (Android, iPhone, BlackBerry) must have software to scan the code.

Now I have my QR code generated. Now what?

    Include it in your print ads, business cards, etc..
    Post it on the web or on the blog. Will achieve capture the attention of your visitors.
    Open your mind ... the possibilities are endless (see recommended readings)

Are you a marketing professional?
During the time I've been mulling over this topic, I came across QRky company that has an entire online platform available in Spanish, aimed at professionals. This service allows you, create your QR codes, know the statistics of the time in which the code has been read, where they read a map represented within. Also one of the errors "frequently" is once the code is printed on thousands of business cards, it should point to another web address, or the message that carries coded has a misspelling. With this platform you can create a universal QR code and switch the action without having to generate a new code.
