Notes:
Two imporant badge you can’t miss: (1) Profile badge and (2) Share badge. Share badge is very useful to boost your blog popularity. If you’re blogging using blogger / blogspot, see the sample placement here. Facebook Share is like voting for your blog. Everytime someone clicks the Share button, the number will increase. If you click the Facebook Share button on the blog’s frontpage, it means you vote for the blog. If you click the Faebook Share button when you are reading an article of a particular blog, you vote for the article not the blog; so the number will be added for the particular post / article.
If you run a blog in a language other than your mother tongue or local dialect, like me an Indonesian who writes in English, you might want your local audience to understand the message you are writing as well, Or you just want to widen your audience into multi-languages audience. For that purpose, what you need is to just put a Google Translate Gadget into your sidebar (see mine in the left sidebar).
If your blog language is English, just copy & paste this code somewhere in your sidebar or footer widget/gadget:
<script src=”http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://www.google.com/ig/modules/translatemypage.xml&up_source_language=en&w=160&h=60&title=&border=&output=js”></script>
For Bahasa Indonesia blog, copy and paste this code:
<script src="http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://www.google.com/ig/modules/translatemypage.xml&up_source_language=id&w=160&h=60&title=&border=&output=js"></script>
If your blog language is non-English and non-Indonesian, visit here to select your blog language first before copying the gadget codes.
This code can be put into blogger.com / blogspot or a self-hosted blog; not wordpress.com.
How Good?
Honestly, the translation doesn’t work so well. I just try to translate this blog (English) into Bahasa Indonesia using the Google Translate tool. I ask my wife if she understands. She said she cannot grasp the meaning of the translation result.
That’s said it’s still better off knowing a bit of an entirely uknown language (Russia for example) than not at all. Bad translation regardless.

Every now and then I still do a blogwalking–though less frequently than it was– and I am a bit disturbed by some blogs I visited have a pop-up or pop-under ads in their websites/blogs from clicksor, game or porn sites. This is true and happens a lot especially to those who use blogger.com / blogspot. Obviously, it’s not the Google’s blogger.com/blogspot which install them. When I asked some of blog owners, they didn’t install the ads either. My suspicion is there must be a third party free services which hide the ads code into the javascript.

Is your blog using wordpress blogging platform? Have you already upgraded into wp’s latest version (wordpress 2.5.1). Do you like it? Or hate it?
Which part or features of WP 2.5.1 you like the most? And which feautures of it that distract you?
For me, there are two most annoying features of Wordpress 2.5.1. First, If you have two sidebar widgets, you cannot move one widget in sidebar one into another as smooth as before. Instead, you need to delete a widget in sidebar one, then click “sidebar 2″ to copy/paste the widget in sidebar one to sidebar two.
