Search engines also look at the loading so it is really important to take care loading time. You might have done several mistakes in your blog by which your blog is heavy but here we'll solve it. Before the tips, it is important to check the loading time of blog.

How To Check Loading Speed Of a Blog?

We have some best tools which we help us in knowing the loading time of a blog. Below are the links of that tools. Simply go there, enter your blog URL, press Enter and wait a little to get the result.

So these are some tools to test the speed of a website. Now if you're going good with your blog then surely you will get the good result. If you get more than 80 marks then you don't need to do anything. If it is less then you should follow the below given tips.

Tips To Reduce The Loading Speed Of Blog

1. Choose The Proper Template For Your Blog

Before choosing any theme of template for your blog, You have to properly analyze that template. You have to check that a template is well coded or not, See the usage of JavaScript and JQuery and check it is not over designed.

2. Avoid Too Much Use Of JavaScript

JavaScript is the web programming language which is really heavy coding. If takes time to be loaded by the browsers. I strongly recommend you to don't use too much JavaScript on your blog. It doesn't mean you should leave using JavaScript but use it not too much.

3. Compress JavaScript and StyleSheet
This is another working tip. You've to compress the JavaScript and StyleSheet in your theme or template. After compressing, the code will be shorted and it's memory will be decreased. Actually, It will remove the spaces from the whole code because they are not needed and also re-write the same code properly. Below are the links of JavaScript and StyleSheet compressor tools. And don't forget to take backup of your blog.

4. Don't Use Too Much Images In Template
Make sure your template is not images based or it is not using too much images. Images are another things that makes a blog even more heavy so you've to analyze your template and avoid to use a few number of images in the design.

5. Use Less Than 5 Images In a Single Post
Images are an important role of SEO which helps us in driving organic traffic from image search engines. Look at the title, I recommend you to use less than five images in a single because each image has separate memory and your blog will take time to load images.

6. Resize Images In a Post
When you come to the featured image or screenshot in any post of your blog then you've to resize the image with any image editor. I recommend to use PhotoShop and PhotoScape. When you will upload the full size image in your post then post editor will automatically make it short with CSS and it will work cool but browser always loads the full image.

7. Don't Implement Too Much Widgets - Use Necessary Widgets
Widgets are another things that can be the reason of a lazy speed blog. I've seen the worst mistake of newbies that they implement each and every kind of widget in their blog so if you are also one of them then you should use the necessary widgets only.

8. Don't Make Your Blog a Place Of Ads
This is another worst mistake which is being done by newbies that they join the many small ad networks and implement all ads everywhere in their blog. Those ads are also being being shown with the use of JavaScript so I recommend you to show less than five ads in your blog.

9. Avoid Popup Widgets, Ads and Subscriptions
If you look for the benefit with popup feature then you will surely get benefit from it but at the other hand, pop up is not good for the load speed. I suggest you to try another methods to increase subscriptions and don't use pop up ads because mostly they're prohibited and they also affect on load time.

10. Show Minimum Number Of Posts On Homepage
The last and the most important tip is that you've to show the minimum number of posts on the homepage. As you can see our own homepage there you will not get more than eight posts. So in this tip, you should show less than eight posts on the homepage. If you're using Blogger then you can do it by editing the blog widget in the layout section.

Final Words

So my dear friends, these were some effective tips which  I wanted to share with all of you. I also tried these all tips and got the good result. Kshitij, Blogger Yard has got 86 score out of 100 on Google Page Insights. You must try these all tips and I'm sure you will get the good result. If any problem then feel free to ask in the comment area.

How to create first Android mobile App

This should be a very short (beginner) introduction/tutorial how to create a mobile app for Android. The tutorial is based on API Level 17 and Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean). Our goal is to start from scratch and have at the end a mp/h to km/h converter.

1. What do you need:

• Basic XML knowledge
• Basic Java knowledge
• Basic Eclipse knowledge
• 2h of your time 

2. Prerequisites:

• Before you can start you need the Android SDK and a IDE. Android offers a special bundle for that: Android SDK Bundle
• Download the bundle, unzip and run the “SDK Manager.exe”.
• start Eclipse

3. Create a Android virtual machine (dalvik):

To run, test and debug your Application you can create and run a virtual android machine on your computer. Later you can deploy your Application to this virtual machine.

• Click on “Windows” at the navigation toolbar
• Open “Android Virtual Device manager“

Create a “New” Virtual Device:

Be sure that “Use Host GPU” is enabled. This allows the AVD to use the Host GPU and this helps to render the AVD much faster.

After that you can start the AVD:

4. Create a new Project:

• Open “File“
• “New“
• “Android Application Project“

Choose a new for your Project:

Configure Project:

Configure Launcher Icon:

Here you can choose a Launcher Icon that will be displayed on your mobile phone.

Create a new Activity:

Configure your Activity:

After finishing Eclipse looks similar to that:

Hello World Application

5. Implement the Look & Feel:

• Navigate in the package explorer to “/res/layout/” and open “activity_main.xml“
• Right-click on “Hello World” and delete

5.1 Create static Attributes:

• Select “/res/values/strings.xml“

• “Add” a new entry
• Select the Color entry – press OK and set the following attributes:

Add a few more String(!) Attributes:

• Name/value: “miles” / “to Miles“
• Name/value: “kmh” / “to km/h“
• Name/value: “calc” / “Calculate“

Switch from “Resources” to “strings.xml” and make sure that your code look similar to that snippet:

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

1. <resources>  
2. <string name="app_name">TutorialApplication</string>  
3. <string name="action_settings">Settings</string>  
4. <string name="hello_world">Hello world!</string>  
5. <color name="myColor">#eeeeee</color>  
6. <string name="miles">to Miles</string>  
7. <string name="kmh">to km/h</string>  
8. <string name="calc">Calculate</string>  
9. </resources>  

5.2 Add Views

• Select “/res/layout/activity_main.xml“
• Open Android editor via double-click

You have two possibilities. You can create new Views via drag and drop or you can edit the XML source code. In this tutorial we add the Views via drag and drop 

So let’s start building our App. At first we have to add a “Text Field” for the input.

Drag this Text Field to your Application.

Afterwards select the “Form Widget” section and drag a RadioGroup to your App and make sure that the RadioGrouphas two RadioButtons. Finally you can add a normal Button.

Switch from “Graphical Layout” to “activity_main.xml” and make sure that your code looks similar to that:

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

1. <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"  
2. xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"  
3. android:layout_width="match_parent"  
4. android:layout_height="match_parent"  
5. android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"  
6. android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"  
7. android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"  
8. android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"  
9. tools:context=".MainActivity" >  
10.   
11. <EditText  
12. android:id="@+id/editText1"  
13. android:layout_width="wrap_content"  
14. android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
15. android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"  
16. android:layout_alignParentTop="true"  
17. android:layout_marginLeft="24dp"  
18. android:layout_marginTop="31dp"  
19. android:ems="10"  
20. android:inputType="numberDecimal|numberSigned" >  
21.   
22. <requestFocus />  
23. </EditText>  
24.   
25. <RadioGroup  
26. android:id="@+id/radioGroup1"  
27. android:layout_width="wrap_content"  
28. android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
29. android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/editText1"  
30. android:layout_below="@+id/editText1"  
31. android:layout_marginTop="28dp" >  
32.   
33. <RadioButton  
34. android:id="@+id/radio0"  
35. android:layout_width="wrap_content"  
36. android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
37. android:checked="true"  
38. android:text="RadioButton" />  
39.   
40. <RadioButton  
41. android:id="@+id/radio1"  
42. android:layout_width="wrap_content"  
43. android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
44. android:text="RadioButton" />  
45. </RadioGroup>  
46.   
47. <Button  
48. android:id="@+id/button1"  
49. android:layout_width="wrap_content"  
50. android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
51. android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/radioGroup1"  
52. android:layout_centerVertical="true"  
53. android:text="Button" />  
54.   
55. </RelativeLayout>  

5.3. Edit view properties

You can edit properties of Views via right-click on the view or via XML.

• Navigate to “res/layout/” and open the Graphical Layout of your “activity_main.xml“
• right-click on the first Radio Button and open “Edit Text”

• Assign the miles property to the second Radio Button
• Set the “Checked” property for the first Radio Button (Other Properties -> inherited from compoundbutton -> checked -> true)
• Set the “Input type” property for the Text Field to “numberSigned” and “numberDecimal“
• Assign “calc” to the Button and set “calculate” for the “onClick” property (Other Properties -> inherited from view -> onClick)
• Set Background-Color (Right-click on an empty space on your Application -> Edit Background)

After that change the Background should be #eeeeee! I think it can be difficult to see the difference.

6. Implement the Logic

After we implemented the Frontend-View we have to implement the logical part with Java!

• Switch to “src/com.example.tutorialapplication/” and open “MainActivity.java“

1. package com.example.tutorialapplication;  
2.   
3. import android.os.Bundle;

43.         // if the text field is empty show the message "enter a valid number"

51.             double inputValue = Double.parseDouble(text.getText().toString());  
52.             // convert to...  
53.             if (mileButton.isChecked()) {

58.                 kmhButton.setChecked(true);  
59.             } else { /* if kmhButton isChecked() */

मान्छे

                                                         

एउटा लामो कथा लिएर बाँचेको मान्छे

सम्झँदै तिमीलाई आँशु पिएर बाँचेको मान्छे

लट्टाईको सहारामा उडेको चंगा जस्तो

फगत् धागोमै जिएर बाँचेको मान्छे

समयले एस्तो हविगत बनाइसक्दा पनि

मौनताको सहारा लिएर बाँचेको मान्छे

पढ्न त पढ्छन मलाई बुझ्दैनन् कसैलेनी

ध्वजा ध्वजा यो मन सिएर बाँचेको मान्छे ।
