Google Plus is closing

The Google Plus platform did not meet the expectations of the developers and will be completely removed as early as April 2, 2019. Together with it, the albums associated with it in Google Photos will disappear, authorization on sites with a Google Plus account will become inaccessible. Starting from February 4, the function of creating Google Plus profiles, channels and pages became unavailable. If you have valuable content stored on your account, you can download a backup copy.
Most of the changes will affect bloggers who blog on Blogspot. Some G + widgets, G + comments, and Google + profile will no longer be available. This is stated in the notification in the Blogger admin panel:
Following the announcement that the Google+ API will be discontinued in March 2019, there will be a number of changes to Blogger's Google+ integration on February 4th.
Google+ widgets.Blog designs will no longer support the +1 Button, Google+ Followers, and Google+ Icon widgets. All instances of these widgets will be removed from your blog.
+1 buttons.The +1 and G + buttons and the Post to Google+ links below blog posts and in the navigation bar will be removed.
Please note that if you are using a custom template that has Google+ features, it may need to be changed. Contact the person who provided you with this template for guidance.
Google+ Comments.Support for comments using Google+ will be discontinued, and default Blogger comments will be restored for all blogs that use this feature. Unfortunately, comments posted via Google+ cannot be transferred to Blogger, so they will no longer appear on your blog.

Delete Google Plus comments

Unfortunately, comments that have been published in the system will be deleted permanently. You can only use the same tool https://takeout.google.comto tell Google + comments backup to your computer. Only a bootloader is not provided for it and you can only restore comments manually in a rather crooked way. It's good that I am on time in due time.

How to replace a Google profile with a Blogger profile

If you are blogging on Blogspot, then it is advisable now to switch from Google Plus to Blogger (for those who switched to Google Plus at the time). I recommend doing this right now to avoid unforeseen situations that may occur when deleting Google Plus accounts.

How to return a Blogger profile

It's easy to do in your Blogger admin settings:
Settings -\u003e User Settings -\u003e User Profile - here select Blogger


Save your changes.

Confirm the transition to and enter your name or nickname.

Don't forget to upload an avatar on your Blogger profile.

How to delete a Google plus profile

If you decide to get rid of the G + profile once and for all, then go to your google plus page -\u003e Settings -\u003e scroll down to the bottom of the page -\u003e delete google plus account:

Today I will tell you what CSS3 is, what it is eaten with, where to look for it, how to properly prescribe it. I warn you, I will tell on my own, simplified for the general public, as I see it + examples. So let's start from afar.
CSS is the style in which the properties of an object are written. This means that they are in all existing engines, if you cannot find them, then either you look not there, or they really are not ( crooked site). Where do they usually find it? Usually this is the root of the site, the name of the style.css file, although, in principle, the name is not as important as the .css extension, if the file with this extension is a style file.
See also my blog.

Where to find them?

The file path is assigned in the template between
" />
Blogspot is a little different, there styles are written right in the code, before the tag between
styles here

What do the styles look like?

let's look at an example:
#header (background: #fff; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", "Bitstream Charter", Times, serif; color: # 333;) .contacts ( position: absolute; top: 20px; right: 10px;)
contacts of the site's author


You can view the styles on any site, just in a browser. Now you can easily recognize them by reading how they look in this article.
As you can see, styles are written in different ways. Styles that start with a pound sign correspond to a specific block id in, styles with a dot correspond to a specific block class. There is no other way, styles will not work. You can think of names what you want, the main thing is that they match the written id and class in html. Style properties must be enclosed in brackets, followed by a colon ( look at the example above), the parameter is written and closed with a semicolon. It is allowed that in the last property at the end you can not put a semicolon, just a closing parenthesis.
It happens that CSS is written directly in a block, without outputting it to a separate file:
site header

CSS on Blogspot

Styles can be written differently, I will explain later because of what. Opening the code, we can see this (look at the styles carefully, and you will see the familiar blogging tags that define the styles):
As you can see, the style property .Header h1 spelled out separately above. How to understand and find a property? very simple, u font there is a parameter header.font, that's what we are looking for. Find it in the “Blog Title” property group for the “.header h1” style, inside the 2 “header.font” and “header.text.color” properties. So we change them. This is done for the browser to read styles quickly, so it makes fewer requests. Because the property header.text.color can be repeated somewhere else. Below is still header.shadow.offset.left and others, the meaning in them is the same, I will not repeat.
When they say to search in css (or styles), then we are looking in blogspot between tags
and usually before the tag
unless, of course, they are written directly in html (example above, styles in blocks). In other cms, everything is usually placed in a separate file with the extension .css

This latest article was written to provide you with up-to-date information on removing unwanted links from Blogspot templates, as well as new Blogger themes. As you know, there were changes in the Blogger codes in 2018, so many actions with the code need to be done in a new way. Plus, new topics have appeared that are formed differently. In connection with these changes, we will analyze the topic of deleting links.
You can check your blog for external links on the services https://pr-cy.ru/link_extractor/ and https://seolik.ru/links. Remember to check not only the blog's home page, but also the posts (posts) and pages (Page). A large number of external links open for indexing are discouraged.

How to remove links from the old default Blogger template

Using the Simple template as an example.
These templates provide the most inbound links. On my test blog, when installing a simple theme, a scan found 25 external links on the home page, of which 14 were indexed.
I remind you that before making changes in the template code, make a backup!
  1. Remove link to Blogger - https://www.blogger.com/. This link is enclosed in the Attribution widget. In the Blog Design tab, it appears as an Attribution gadget and. To remove it, go to the "Theme" tab -\u003e change HTML. By searching for widgets (list of widgets), we find Attribution1 and delete all the code along with the footer section in which it is enclosed. This is what the collapsed code to remove looks like:


    And here's the complete code:














    Save changes and check the blog for Attribution.
  2. You've certainly seen the Wrench and Screwdriver icons on your blog for quick widget editing. Each such icon carries with it an external link to Blogger. Now they are closed with the nofollow tag, but you still need to get rid of them. You will edit the widgets in the Design tab.
    Here is an incomplete list of links that are encrypted in the wrench icons (the blog ID will be yours)
    - HTML1 Widget: http://www.blogger.com/rearrange?blogID\u003d1490203873741752013&widgetType\u003dHTML&widgetId\u003dHTML1&action\u003deditWidget§ionId\u003dheader
    - HTML2 widget http://www.blogger.com/rearrange?blogID\u003d1490203873741752013&widgetType\u003dHTML&widgetId\u003dHTML2&action\u003deditWidget§ionId\u003dheader
    - Blog archive: http://www.blogger.com/rearrange?blogID\u003d1490203873741752013&widgetType\u003dBlogArchive&widgetId\u003dBlogArchive1&action\u003deditWidget§ionId\u003dmain
    - Blog shortcuts: http://www.blogger.com/rearrange?blogID\u003d1490203873741752013&widgetType\u003dLabel&widgetId\u003dLabel1&action\u003deditWidget§ionId\u003dmain
    - Popular posts: http://www.blogger.com/rearrange?blogID\u003d1490203873741752013&widgetType\u003dPopularPosts&widgetId\u003dPopularPosts2&action\u003deditWidget§ionId\u003dmain
    All of these links are easy to get rid of. Find the tag in your blog template ... It appears as many times as there are widgets on your blog. Remove all occurrences of the tag .
  3. Remove links to quick edit blog posts (Pencil icon). Makes it easier to edit posts, but carries a threat as an external link of the form: https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID\u003d1490203873741752013&postID\u003d4979812525036427892&from\u003dpencil
    How to delete:
    Method 1. In the Design tab, edit the “Blog Posts” item and uncheck the “Show Quick Edit” checkbox.
    Method 2. find the tag in the blog template and remove it. Save changes and check your blog for the icon and link.
  4. Remove Navbar. Search for widgets in the navbar1 blog html template and remove all code along with the section.

    Namely:









    Now Navbar in the blog does not provide indexed external links, but I believe that this is an extra element that does not carry a functional load, and it is better to remove it.
  5. Remove external links to images. When you upload images to a blog post, a link is automatically embedded in them. To remove such links, you need to edit all blog posts. In the "View" mode and further to the "Link" icon. If the image does not contain an external link, then when you click on the photo in the post editor, the “Link” icon is not active (there is no icon highlighting).

  6. Remove the link to the blog author's profile. Remove the blog author under the post. To do this, find the code true and replace true with false. It will turn out false
  7. Close the link from the widget “” from indexing with the nofollow tag. If you are using a profile widget on your blog, use a quick widget search in the blog template to find the code for the Profile1 gadget. You need to edit the widget code, replacing rel \u003d 'author' in two places with rel \u003d 'nofollow' and add rel \u003d 'nofollow' to two links. You should get something like the screenshot:


    Made on the example of editing a Google Plus profile. As a reminder, Google Plus will be phased out on April 2, 2019. Accordingly, after this date, you will need to make other changes in the code of the "About me" widget.

  8. We check for external links any blogspot post page that has been commented on. Find and delete the code in the blog template:

    In the Blog settings, along the path Blog settings -\u003e Other -\u003e Site feed -\u003e Allow blog feed, apply the following settings:

Remove external links from the new default Blogger template

Using the Notable theme as an example
  1. Remove Attribution (link below - Blogger Technologies)
    Find Attribution1 in the widget search blog template (list of widgets) and delete the code along with the section similar to the old Blogger template (see above 1).
  2. Remove the link from the Report Abuse widget. This is the ReportAbuse1 widget. We find in the search by widgets:
    The whole code looks like this:




  3. We check the blog post page with comments and remove links by analogy with the old blog templates (see above - point 8).
  4. Remove links from blog posts that are embedded in post images (see point 5).

YouTube has officially introduced the new design and made it available to all devices, announced on the developer blog.

Finally, everything has been corrected and all users can enjoy the updated interface. The new YouTube 2017 design is available on PC and mobile.

New YouTube logo

The first thing that users noticed on the site on August 29 was the new YouTube logo, in which the name went beyond the red icon. The new YouTube design will better adapt to the screen size of any device. The updated logo is noticeable not only on the main page, but also in the lower right corner of the player.

Material Design

YouTube finally switched to the Material Design style and removed everything unnecessary from the site, thereby relieving the page from unnecessary elements. Also YouTube has slightly reduced the use of red in the site's color scheme. The gray background was replaced with a white one, and the navigation bar became less prominent.

The video icons have increased, become more visible, the color of the links has been made black. Now they attract more viewers, and if you do not want to view, the video can be hidden by selecting the appropriate item in the video menu.

Dark Mode YouTube

As you remember, this year YouTube has been supplemented with a "night mode" to relieve eye strain while watching videos in the dark. In April, users noticed that YouTube's interface might be getting dark and even figured out how to switch to secret mode on their own. Now there is no need to make tricky manipulations, you just need to enable / disable the "night mode" in the channel menu.

Video verticalization

Recently, the site tested a system for adjusting the playback window to the screen size, I wrote about this. And now YouTube will show vertical videos without annoying black bars around the edges of the player.

Simple rewind

Google has unveiled a completely new interface for YouTube, a redesigned logo, and added a night mode. How to get old design back on Youtube?

Finally, Google has introduced a new design for users around the world. You can get used to all the changes over time, but if you use the video service very often, you may feel uncomfortable with the new interface. One objection is that the design is more suited to mobile devices such as tablets than computers with a large monitor.

Fortunately, it is possible to bring back the previous YouTube look, which will certainly delight users who are used to the old design. Switching is pretty simple, just a few clicks to get things the same. So how do you get the old Youtube artwork back?

Method 1: Reverting to the old version through the user menu item

The new design offers a changed layout of the elements while watching the video, as well as a rather large font and free arrangement of certain interface fragments. But if it doesn't suit you, you can turn it off. To return the old design, you need to go to the site and log in with your Google account.

Then, in the upper right corner, click on the icon with your photo to extract the menu. Here you will find the item "Return to Classic Design". Click on this item.

A window will appear asking why you chose to downgrade to the old version. This is a quick survey that will allow Google to gather some information and possibly improve the new interface to better suit the majority of users. Select one of the available reasons by highlighting it in the list.

After choosing an answer, a window will appear in which you can (optionally) specify details regarding what does not suit you in the new design. This is optional, so if you don't want to enter anything, leave it blank.

After clicking on the "Submit" button, the page will refresh and the old youtube interface will be restored. That's all - in this way, you can return the previous version of YouTube. If in the future you want to change again to the latest version, then go to the section with the new design, and then click on the try button. The page will refresh and you will see the new YouTube look again.

Method 2: Restore the old YouTube interface using the Tampermonkey / Greasemonkey extension

Unfortunately, Google has decided to remove the item from the user menu, and it is not known whether this is a temporary measure, or the interface change function has been removed completely.

In this regard, alternative methods have appeared that allow you to forcefully return the old look of YouTube. This can be done using the Tampermonkey extension in Chrome and Opera browsers, or Greasemonkey in Firefox.

Download Tampermonkey for Chrome

Download Tampermonkey for Opera

Download Greasemonkey for Firefox

Tampermonkey and Greasemonkey are browser add-ons that allow you to use special scripts, with which you can, for example, hide some functions or change the appearance of the site.

After Google removed the restore button from the user menu, a script was developed to bring back the old look of YouTube.

All you need to do is install Tampermonkey or Greasemonkey, as well as a special script for YouTube - and it will take less than a minute.

Installing a browser plugin is very simple - click on one of the links above that point to the extension for your browser and use the Install button. The package will be automatically installed from the official add-ons repository.

If the extension is already installed, then go to the following link, where you will find the script for YouTube.

Download YouTube Old Design

Click the Install button. The script will be installed into the extension and will work automatically.

Google recently introduced a permanent new design for its YouTube video hosting service. Many people rated it negatively, but most users liked it. Despite the fact that design testing has already ended, for some, the switch did not happen automatically. Next, we'll show you how to manually switch to the new YouTube look.

We have selected completely different methods, they are all simple and do not require specific knowledge or skills to complete the whole process, but they are suitable for different users. Let's take a closer look at each option.

Method 1: Entering a command into the console

There is a special command entered into the browser console that will take you to the new YouTube look. All you need to do is enter it and check if the changes have been applied. This is done as follows:

For some users, this method does not bring any results, so we recommend that they pay attention to the next option for moving to a new design.

Method 2: Go through the official page

Even during testing, a separate page was created with a description of the future design, where there was a button that allows you to temporarily switch to it and become a tester. Now this page is still working and allows you to permanently switch to the new version of the site.


You will be automatically taken to a new YouTube page with an updated design. Now it will be saved in this browser forever.

Method 3: Remove YouTube Revert extension

Some users did not accept the new site design and decided to stay on the old one, but Google removed the ability to automatically switch between designs, so they only had to change the settings manually. One solution was to install the YouTube Revert extension for Chromium-based browsers. Accordingly, if you want to start using the new design, then the plugin must be disabled or removed, you can do this as follows:


After completing these steps, YouTube will be displayed in a new form. If you disabled this extension, then after its next launch, the design will revert to the old version.

Method 4: Delete data in Mozilla Firefox

Owners of the Mozilla Firefox browser who did not like the new design did not update it or introduced a special script to restore the old design. Because of this, the above methods may not work specifically in this web browser.

Before performing this method, you should pay attention to the fact that it is radical and in the process of deleting data all bookmarks, passwords and other browser settings will be erased. Therefore, we recommend that you export them in advance and save them for later recovery, or even better, enable synchronization. Read more about this in our articles on the links below.

More details:
How to export, from Mozilla Firefox browser

To switch to the new YouTube look, follow these steps:


These actions completely reset any browser settings, and it becomes the same as it was immediately after installation. Now you can go to YouTube and get started with your new design. Since the browser is now missing any old user settings, they need to be restored. You can learn more about this from our articles on the links below.

Today we have analyzed a few simple options for switching to the new version of YouTube video hosting. They all need to be done manually, since Google has removed the button to automatically switch between designs, but this will not take you much time and effort.
