Adsense is a good way to earn some money for bloggers and webmasters. Luckily I too got approved for Adsense. After earning $10 I got a message from them that my earnings are on hold and I have to verify my address via a Personal Identification Number (PIN) which they will mail me to my Payee profile address and I need to enter the PIN within my account.

Why I need to verify my account?
Google requires adsense account holders to verify their address before making payments to protect the security of account holders. Google take this step to confirm that the amount always reaches to the real account holder.

If Google Adsense PIN not recieved then how to verify the Address?
PIN typically arrive within 2-4 weeks to account holders address but may take longer depending on the location. Unfortunately I didn't receive the PIN from them, maybe because of my location. If first PIN fails to reach you, still you can request 2 additional replacement PINs. Even after requesting for 2nd and 3rd PIN, I never got any PIN from them.

So I googled and finally got the solution. Fortunately now all the hold on my Adsense account is permanently removed and all ads are working fine. I will show you how I verified my Adsense account without any PIN. You should only use this method after all 3 PIN fails to reach to your address.

You can verify your address with Adsense account by sending a scan copy of any address id proof that is recognisable and provided by your Govt. In my case I gave my PAN card and to my surprise within only few hours all the hold on my adsense account was lifted.

Here is the direct link-
https://support.google.com/adsense/contact/id_verification?hl=en&gsessionid=RIjPYK9cdX9bMsawb26XDw

Go to the above link and provide the details. Thats it.

Here is the reply I got from Adsense-

"Hello,
Thank you for sending your proof of identity.
I'm happy to let you know that this fulfills the address verification requirement for AdSense. You no
longer need to enter a PIN for this account.
Sincerely,
The Google AdSense Team"

I Hope this helps you.

Here in this blog we have provided you many tweaks and tips of Blogger. Today we are here again with a different blogger tweak. This post is about how to show post excerpts on homepage instead of full posts. This tweak will show thumbnail of your post and a
continue reading link on homepage. Full instruction is given below, follow them.


Steps To Follow :

It is always advisable to backup your template before doing any kind of tweaking in your codes.

1) Log in to your Blogger Account and goto your Blogger Dashboard.

2) Go to Template>Edit HTML>Proceed.

3) Tick the 'expand widgets' box.

4) Press Ctrl+f and Search </head>. Just above the </head> tag, copy and paste the code given below.
<script type='text/javascript'>
var thumbnail_mode = "no-float" ;
summary_noimg = 300;
summary_img = 350;
img_thumb_height = 200;
&nbsp;img_thumb_width = 300;
</script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
//<![CDATA[
function removeHtmlTag(strx,chop){
if(strx.indexOf("<")!=-1)
{
var s = strx.split("<");
for(var i=0;i<s.length;i++){
if(s[i].indexOf(">")!=-1){
s[i] = s[i].substring(s[i].indexOf(">")+1,s[i].length);
} }
strx = s.join("");
}
chop = (chop < strx.length-1) ? chop : strx.length-2;
while(strx.charAt(chop-1)!=' ' && strx.indexOf(' ',chop)!=-1) chop++;
strx = strx.substring(0,chop-1);
return strx+'...';
}
function createSummaryAndThumb(pID){
var div = document.getElementById(pID);
var imgtag = "";
var img = div.getElementsByTagName("img");
var summ = summary_noimg;
if(img.length>=1) {
imgtag = '<span style="float:left; padding:0px 10px 5px 0px;"><img src="'+img[0].src+'" width="'+img_thumb_width+'px" height="'+img_thumb_height +'px"/></span>';
summ = summary_img;
}
var summary = imgtag + '<div>' + removeHtmlTag(div.innerHTML,summ) + '</div>';
div.innerHTML = summary;
}
//]]>
</script>
5) Now Find the portion of code that looks like the code given below:.

<b:if cond='data:blog.metaDescription == &quot;&quot;'>
&nbsp;<! Then use the post body as the schema.org description, for good G+/FB snippeting. -->
<div class='post-body entry-content' expr:id='&quot;post-body-&quot; + data:post.id' itemprop='description articleBody'>
<data:post.body/>
<div style='clear: both;'/>
<!-- clear for photos floats -->
</div> <b:else/>
<div class='post-body entry-content' expr:id='&quot;post-body-&quot; + data:post.id' itemprop='articleBody'>
<data:post.body/>
<div style='clear: both;'/>
<!-- clear for photos floats >
</div>
&nbsp;</b:if>
<b:if cond='data:post.hasJumpLink'>
<div class='jump-link'>
<a expr:href='data:post.url + &quot;#more&quot;' expr:title='data:post.title'>
<data:post.jumpText/></a>
</div>
</b:if>
Replace it with the code given below:

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
<style>.fullpost{display:inline;}</style>
<p><data:post.body/></p>
<b:else/>
<style>.fullpost{display:none;}</style>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;static_page&quot;'>
<data:post.body/>
<b:else/>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != &quot;item&quot;'>
<div expr:id='&quot;summary&quot; + data:post.id'>
<data:post.body/></div>
<script type='text/javascript'>createSummaryAndThumb(&quot;summary<data:post.id/>&quot;); </script> <span class='rmlink' style='float:right;padding-top:20px;'><a expr:href='data:post.url'> continue reading &quot;<data:post.title/>&quot;</a></span> </b:if>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'><data:post.body/></b:if> </b:if>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;static_page&quot;'><b:else/>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != &quot;item&quot;'>
<div style='padding-top:3px;float:right;text-align:right;'><span class='rmlink'><a class='comment-link' expr:href='data:post.addCommentUrl' expr:onclick='data:post.addCommentOnclick' style='margin-right:10px;'>Add Your Opinion</a></span><span class='rmlink'><b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != &quot;item&quot;'> <b:if cond='data:post.allowComments'><a class='comment-link' expr:href='data:post.addCommentUrl' expr:onclick='data:post.addCommentOnclick'><b:if cond='data:post.numComments == 1'>1 Opinion<b:else/><data:post.numComments/> Opinions </b:if></a> </b:if> </b:if></span>
<div style='clear: both;'/>
<div style='clear: both;'/>
</div>
</b:if>
</b:if>
</b:if>
You can change the continue reading "<data:post.title/>" to any text (for example, READ MORE, Full story etc.).

6) For Styling part i.e for CSS part:-

Search ]]></b:skin> and above it paste the following code

.rmlink a{color:#fff; text-decoration:none; float:right; font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; padding-left:5px; padding-right:5px; padding-top:-2px; font-size:13px; font-weight:bold; text-align:center; background:#444343; -moz-border-radius:5px; -webkit-border-radius:5px; height:22px} .rmlink a:hover{color:#FFF; text-decoration:none; background:#007EC4; -moz-border-radius:5px; -webkit-border-radius:5px}
7) And finally save the template.
