Se a Ford foi a única marca que investiu nos aventureiros urbanos a ponto de criar um modelo exclusivamente destinado a este mercado, o EcoSport, os próximos passos que tomou foram mais comedidos, mas ainda assim com sucesso, como o Fiesta Trail. Aproveitando que o compacto fez sucesso com o pacote de itens a ponto de merecer tê-lo como uma versão de linha, a Ford agora tenta aplicar a fórmula ao modelo de entrada, mais ou menos como fez com o “esportivo” Ka ST. Criado pela empresa Keko, o pacote de acessórios do Ka Trail traz protetores para os parachoques dianteiro e traseiro, rack de teto e adesivos exclusivos da versão. Sua instalação pode ser feita em qualquer concessionária da marca, a um preço estimado de R$ 1200.

Making a Gadget that looks like a Post
This article is about how to make a gadget display (almost) all the things you can put into a post in Blogger.
Summary:
Previously, I've described how a gadget that only appears on the first screen is one option for giving your blog a home page.
One apparent weaknesses with a gadget is that it can only contain one type of "thing" - text, or a picture, or a poll or - or whatever other type of gadget you choose.
But - an HTML/Javascript gadget can contain almost any valid HTML. And each post is really just made up of HTML. So:
See further down in the article for detailed instructions, and also for notes about which features from Posts will not show up within your gadget.
Follow these steps to make a gadget look like a Post
1 Create a new post (you won't be saving this, you are simply using it to get the HTML)
2 Edit it in the usual way, until it is complete and ready to publish - but don't publish it.
3 Click on the Edit HTML tab at the top-right-side of the Post-editor (old interface) or the HTML tab at the top-left-side (new interface)
4 Put your cursor into the editing window, and select ALL the code that is shown. (Ctrl / A does this in many systems)
5 Copy the HTML
6 Press Save Draft or Save Now (not Publish Post)
7 Add an HTML gadget to your blog in the usual way
8 Paste the the HTML that you just copied into the Content field.
9 Save the gadget, and drag it to wherever you want it.
10 Once you're happy with the gadget, go back to Posting > Edit Posts, and delete the post that you used to make the gadget. (This step is options, but it will stop you accidentally publishing the post later on.)
Post features that don't work in Gadgets:
Of course there are some features of Posts that don't work in gadgets:
Don't put anything into the title field - it's not part of the HTML for the post, so won't be displayed. Instead, type in any title you want, and format it yourself. (Search engines won't index contents from your welcome gadget very because of this - so make sure that the content is elsewhere in your blog too.)
Jump-breaks don't work: you can put them into the post, but they have little or no effect on how the gadget looks.
Labels. Gadgets don't have them, so don't bother. (except if you want to keep the "construction" page around as a draft: I often label things like with as "Site Admin" or similar)
Backing up. Gadgets aren't included when you export a copy of your blog. Gadget contents may not always be backed up when you export your template (I haven't tested recently) - actually, this is a good reason to keep the "construction post" around as a draft.

But - an HTML/Javascript gadget can contain almost any valid HTML. And each post is really just made up of HTML. So:
You can make a gadget look like the body of a post by
copying the HTML from a post, and pasting it into the gadget!
The picture below is an example of what such a gadget looks like. I've given it a title ("Test Gadget"), though for a real blog, I probably wouldn't bother. Notice that unlike the Post after it, the gadget doesn't have an author, date, comments or an edit-this linkSee further down in the article for detailed instructions, and also for notes about which features from Posts will not show up within your gadget.
Follow these steps to make a gadget look like a Post
1 Create a new post (you won't be saving this, you are simply using it to get the HTML)
2 Edit it in the usual way, until it is complete and ready to publish - but don't publish it.
- Write and format text.
- Put in quotes, make them easily-tweetable.
- Colour the font, or the background text.
- Include pictures and videos and links.
- Put in tables, maps, calendars - even AdSense ads or Amazon product links
- Align things side-by-side
- Etc, etc: basically do anything you would do in a normal post.
3 Click on the Edit HTML tab at the top-right-side of the Post-editor (old interface) or the HTML tab at the top-left-side (new interface)
4 Put your cursor into the editing window, and select ALL the code that is shown. (Ctrl / A does this in many systems)

Giving your Blog a Home Page

Showing your oldest blog-post first - and the rest in reverse order.
Blogger does not have an option to display your posts in reverse order - so that the oldest post is first, and the most recent post is last. But this article describes displaying your posts in this way by manipulating their post dates. And it links to an article about some other possible options.
Overview:
Previously I've discussed the options for giving your blog a home page. One option is to organise the post-date for each of your posts, so that you control the order posts are displayed in.
This is easy enough to do, although there are a couple of risks that you need to be aware of as discussed below.
Blogger Posts and the Post-date
Each Post in your blog has a date-time value, which is called its "post-date". Normally , this is set to the date/time when you publish the post for the first time. But you can change the post date for any post, and you can do this either when you post it first or later on.
The post-date is important because it controls the order that posts are shown in:
When a reader is looking at any post, and they click Newer-Posts or Older-Posts, the post-date is used to decide what posts to show on the next screen.
This means that you can make your posts appear in the order than you wrote them (ie first post first, second post second, etc) by changing the Post-date so that:
How to make your posts appear in reverse order, using dates:
1 Give your first Post a post-date (eg today), AND remember that date.
2 Give all other posts (even ones that you write next week, or next year) a post-date that is earlier than the post-date you picked in Step 1.
4 Remember to make the same date change for every post you write from now on.
Also, if it might be relevant for your readers to know when you wrote a post, make sure that you always manually put the date into each post.
Risks of this approach:
If you follow this approach, you will give a far-in-the-past date to pages that you never want to appear first. There is a risk that Google might convert the data behind older posts at some time. If your post-dates get too far into the past, then it's possible that they might not cope well this. This could be for reasons that seem logical, or because of things that are totally to do with the internal workings of Blogger's database, and make no sense to you at all.
Also, be aware that Google might choose to force the post-date to appear on posts at some time in the future. At the moment, they don't: it's your choice. But you cannot guarantee that they won't change their minds about this, one day. (Personally I think they probably won't, and I've built a couple of "real" websites that make use of the technique described here. Just remember it's not guaranteed.)
An Alternative Approach:
Adam of Too-Clever-by-Half has suggested a totally different way to display your posts in reverse order. I haven't used it, but think that it has a lot of potential in some situations, provided you are comfortable using Yahoo pipes and RSS feeds to display things on your blog.
He has also recently shared another approach he found, which uses a script to manipulate elements within Blogger, and so is more robust than his first approach.

The post-date is important because it controls the order that posts are shown in:
- The post that appears first when a reader visits your blog is the one with the most-recent Post-date.
- If you have more than one post-per-screen, then the next-most-recent post is on the screen underneath the first one. And then the second-next-most-recent, etc.
When a reader is looking at any post, and they click Newer-Posts or Older-Posts, the post-date is used to decide what posts to show on the next screen.
This means that you can make your posts appear in the order than you wrote them (ie first post first, second post second, etc) by changing the Post-date so that:
- your first post has the most-recent post-date,
- your second post has the next-most-recent-date,
- your third post has the third-most-recent poste date
- etc
How to make your posts appear in reverse order, using dates:
1 Give your first Post a post-date (eg today), AND remember that date.
2 Give all other posts (even ones that you write next week, or next year) a post-date that is earlier than the post-date you picked in Step 1.
- If you want your posts is strictly reverse order, you need to give each one a date that is earlier than any existing post. This is quite easy: just look at the list of posts in Posting > Edit Posts and scroll to the bottom of the list to see the oldest date used so far.
- To do this, go to the Design > Page elements tab (old Blogger interface) or the Layouts tab (new Blogger interface).
- Choose Blog-posts (edit).
- Un-tick the date under "Post Page Options".
4 Remember to make the same date change for every post you write from now on.
Also, if it might be relevant for your readers to know when you wrote a post, make sure that you always manually put the date into each post.

Making one post always come up first
One way to make a "Home Page" for your Blogger blog is to simply make sure that one particular Post always comes up first when someone visits your blog. (This approach only works for Posts, it does not work for Pages.
Overview
Generally, the post that appears first when a reader visits your blog's main address (www.yourBlog.blogspot.com or www.yourDomain.xxx) is the one with the most-recent Post-date.
One way you can make sure that one particular post always comes up first by re-publishing it every time you post something else - and changing the date to a value more recent than the most-recent post.
This can be tiresome, because you need to remember to edit two posts every time that you post. But:
1 Do the new (or changed) post, and publish it.
2 Edit the post that you want to go first.
If you want to change several posts on the same day, you could do all of them, and only do step 2) after the last one. This will mean that a different post (the most-recently-published one) will come up first for a short time - but this will probably be ok unless you have a very large number of visitors to your blog just after posting.
The option listed above was the only way of doing this for a long time.
But during 2012, Blogger introduced custom re-directs (as a way to let us delete posts, while not losing the traffic that was provided by existing lists to those posts. And so this gives another alternative: you can set up a custom re-direct on your blog's main URL, so that visitors to it always get taken to pretty much anywhere they want. See the first option in giving your blog a home page for more details about how to do this.

This can be tiresome, because you need to remember to edit two posts every time that you post. But:
- Its easier than manipulating the date of every single post, and
- You can still use the date-features that Blogger has, so it's unlikely to stop working if Blogger something in the future.
Follow these steps every time you publish to your blog:
1 Do the new (or changed) post, and publish it.
2 Edit the post that you want to go first.
- Go into the Post editor
- Change the content in a small way (eg put in a space, and take it out again).
- Change Post date and time to Automatic.
- Publish it.
If you want to change several posts on the same day, you could do all of them, and only do step 2) after the last one. This will mean that a different post (the most-recently-published one) will come up first for a short time - but this will probably be ok unless you have a very large number of visitors to your blog just after posting.

Volkswagen Jetta Variant
Como se não bastasse, a nova Variant vem a ser derivada de um “Golf 5,5”: traz a carroceria de antes com a parte dianteira do Golf VI, e acabou conseguindo um excelente resultado. Se a traseira ficou inalterada e as laterais apenas ganharam novas rodas aro 17, a frente foi totalmente refeita, ganhando a grade estreita e negra que une os novos faróis com máscara negra, e parachoque novo, com faróis de milha mais afastados.
Seu interior também foi melhorado, incorporando o quadro de instrumentos do novo Golf e o já clássico volante multifuncional do Passat CC, compartilhado por vários modelos recentes da marca. Além disso, o novo sistema de som com tela de toque e dez alto-falantes, o ar-condicionado dual-zone e a decoração da cabine com apliques imitando fibra de carbono e aço escovado aumentam a lista de novidades da station wagon, que também teve o preço reduzido, custando agora R$ 83.990, sem opcionais.
O pacote de série inclui seis airbags, piloto automático, bancos de couro, sensores de estacionamento, freios com ABS, EBD e EDS e controles de tração e estabilidade. Alguns dos opcionais são os faróis bi-xenon com lavador e o teto solar Skyview. Seu motor é o 2.5 de cinco cilindros e 170 cv, que produz 0 a 100 km/h em 8,9 segundos e máxima de 205 km/h, sempre com o câmbio automático de seis marchas com trocas sequenciais.

Blocking categories of AdSense ads from your Blog
This article is about how to restrict the types of advertisements that AdSense places on your blog.
If you don't have an adult-content warning flag on your blog, then doing this is almost essential for AdSense users, so that you comply with Blogger's Terms and Conditions and ban ads about sex / sexuality.
Overview:
Previously, I've written about setting up Adsense in Blogger, and explained how easy the this is, thanks to the features in the Monetize tab.
Unfortunately, there are a few things that you cannot do in the Monetize tab, and which I believe are essential for every Blogger user who displays AdSense ads.
One step that I strong recommend is stopping malicious use of your AdSense account ID.
Another is restricting the categories of AdSense ads that are displayed - and in particular stopping sexually explicit ads from appearing.
This is because Blogger's Terms and Conditions say that you will only show adult material if it's placed behind an adult-only warning flag - so if you don't stop the ads from showing, you could potentially be breaking the rules.
And depending on the content and audience of your blog, there may be other categories of AdSense ads that you also want to block.
How to block certain categories of advertisements:
There is no need to press Save, your choices are saved automatically.
You can turn a category on again by clicking on the left-hand button, ie the one beside the banned symbol.
What your readers see:
As far as I know, the changes take place pretty much straight away: AdSense takes ads from the blocked categories out of the pool of ads that are able to be shown on your site. (If you have examples where it has taken longer, please leave a comment below.)
Choosing what categories to block:
Google kindly tell you what percentage of recent revenue you would not have got, if you had each category blocked. You may find this useful in deciding whether to block any other categories.
Personally, I don't: blocking categories is about making sure that I get ads that are appropriate for my site, not about making revenue.
But it comes down to your blog, and what's the best thing to do in your area.
Blocking just for a specific blog:
Currently, it's only possible to block categories at AdSense account level, not at web-site / blog level. This is annoying because it may mean that you need to block some profitable categories from some web-sites in order to stop them going on any of your sites. Hopefully Google will change this feature in the future.

How to block certain categories of advertisements:
- Log in to AdSense (http://www.google.com/adsense)
- Go into the Allow and Block Ads tab
- Make sure that the Product drop-down (centre of the screen) has Content selected.
- Go into the Sensitive Categories tab, and click on the right-hand button beside each category you want to not show on your blog.
For Blogger, this should include at least Sexually Suggestive, unless your blog has an Adult-content flag
. - Go into the General categories tab, and do the same.
- Go back to step 3, and choose Mobile Content from the Product drop-down. Then repeat 4 & 5.
You need to do this even if you don't have a mobile template for your blog: AdSense's mobile ad-units are being displayed when such blogs are looked at using a Smartphone or similar mobile device. (They were on one of my sites yesterday, anyway.) - If you use AdSense for feeds, then go back to step 3, and choose Feeds from the Product drop-down, then repeat 4 & 5
There is no need to press Save, your choices are saved automatically.
You can turn a category on again by clicking on the left-hand button, ie the one beside the banned symbol.

| Yes, the numbers don't make sense: I used MS Paint to mix them up, so Google cannot say that I'm revealing confidential details about my AdSense performance. |
