Combination of two primary colors is not good for most designs. That green and blue make the site look like a cloth.
The contents are great I like the structure.
But you need to work on the color you choose for the design when it come to science and technology there are some color that make the shared pictures look like heaven, I will recommend that you check out NASA website.

The replies on Blogger forum were:
“Write to build community; link to others and participate in the conversation” (@LisaSpangenberg)

“To blog consistently, respond to comments, and to read and comment on other people's blogs (especially those who read mine).” (@kelblogg)

“To not only be active within your own blog but on others' as well - leave comments, but don't spam!” (@OnceBittenBlog)

Although it’s important to keep your readers in mind, most of you tweeted about staying true to yourself, and writing about what you love. @Mistylovesvamps said it best: “don't be a slave to stats & followers.”

In Nairaland we share,Review,advice,comment on our websites we help and share Ideas.
But I felt disappointed whenever I visit other site that have good contents but don't have enough traffic to showcase their ideas.
This is what inspired me to write an Entire article on link building because I believe they don't have good traffic from search engines because of their low pagerank.

Building link may not be so easy but it worth your time, You need links to get your site a better page rank, Links are what Google and other search engines use to know your site value, Permit me use www.CodingSavvvy.com as an example here.
CodingSavvvy.com was lunched on Monday, May 18, 2015 . It almost 2 month old, In just these few weeks of working on the site, I have been able to build a huge link or the site, Even doe According to my experience the site might not be trusted and ranked until it 7th-8th month, If the site is to be ranked tomorrow The minimum rank will be PR4. Look at the Google webmaster links below.

As at now the pageview is always increasing See the Google Analytic pageview graph below.

There is no magic or special powers attached to all this it just a regular SEO practice, Right now I give my article 40% focus with(97%) Uniqueness and I give building links 60% focus Because it seems useless and might be like a waste of time to have great article hanging around on your website and there are not much audience to read it, Link building should be on the first priority list of webmasters.

I can't even understand what you're saying... drop better lines that is worthy of argument

No comment. CIAO.

Am going to tackle all your points one by one.

Ownership: Have you heard of Download your Data tool by Google?

Control : Wordpress uses and spends it whole life trying to modify just an HTML output, But blogger puts on on the clients side by making you apply the interactiveness(JavaScript) and Presentation(CSS) directly to your template file.

Reputation : Anything that just costs money is cheap, I started my programming career with blogger it give me a simple HTML challenge and make the solution look simple.

Security: You agreed.

Future: I agree But Google never closes any platform if there is no alternative for it as far as I know Google have other blogging platform as active as Blogger, Blogger is in the same league with other valued platforms such as Youtube.

I have use wordpress more times than blogger I know wordpress is good but the argument is, Which one is good for blogging?

Gud day sir, I am not on google+ because of d kind of phone I use ...... Pls I wld nid Ur assistance. Thanks

Why can't we start it as a simple open-source project and API.....just like randomuser.me
I can volunteer to register a domain name and service, we can build it on Cloud 9. I will create a project there and we all can connect and contribute.

I have already purchase the domain name:
http://ngquery.com/

The Aim is to enable developers to send request to the server and get their reply ASAP
Anyone willing to volunteer to build the site or contribute to it should please reply.

Mr. Ultimate, Nairaland is too popular than you think.
Saying you sell Adsense account might lead to you loosing your current account and your site might never get approved again.
You make the banning easier by putting your site URL on the post.
It just a friendly advise.

I get this question all the time also often people ask me why I choose Blogger over Wordpress for CodingSavvy,First of all coding savvy was meant to encourage young bloggers that they can start blogging without having a penny through blogger and how flexible Blogger can be. I have run so many Wordpress based sites am going to share my experience with you and give you few good reason why blogger is better for blogging.I know some may not agree,You can read along and leave your comments.
Is Wordpress better than Blogger for SEO?
First of all watch this video where +Matt Cutts, head of webspam at Google, answers the question "Is Wordpress or Blogger better for SEO?"
Dose Google delete bloggers account any time and anyhow they feel like?
I have never been a victim of such situation but I have work with those that are faced with it,To be sincere it hard to believe that such thing happens because my very first blog as a n armature blogger was created back in 2008 it was filled with premium contents that violates copyrights and It always get reported to Google more than 6 times but they never disable or deleted my blog it sill alive till date,The wort that has ever happened was that they simply unpublished the post that was reported.
Advantage of blogger
1 :it's free
2 :free hosting from Google
3: Security
5: show up in search results faster
The list is long continue reading at : http://www.codingsavvy.com/2015/07/wordpress-or-blogger-which-is-best-for.html
I know it not everybody that is going to agree with it just post your comments. But plese read the full article first.

I think this question will be more appropriate in the computer section. no offense pls.

SERIOUSLY YOU ARE A PROGRAMMER AND YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT?
I don't think you have a serious project, I only slept twice last week ,This week I code at night and sleep in the afternoon after school.
Night coding is the Holy Grail of programming( CHAMPIONS ARE BORN AT NIGHT. best knowledge are discovered through the night.
THIS IS NOT BRAG BUT NIGERIA PROGRAMMERS LET US STOP THE IMPORTING OF THIS FOREIGN SOFTWARE.
PLEASE WORK HARDER.)

Brother, Though I know that being a new blogger it is hard for you to create your own original content but the fact that you have 164 content i just one month show that they are not original and it implicates you.
I have run an entertainment website before so am speaking from experience, try and minimize the way you cope and paste, I understand that you cant afford reporters yet but any thing you copy make you you edit at lease 40% of the content before putting it on your blog.
use www.copyscape.com to check the uniqueness of your content, Use a good design , I dont have a a free template at hand I would have given you and sorry but please try to see the one you like here www.blogtipsntricks.com/p/btnt-weekly-special.html .
Good Luck bro.

It somehow strange how bloggers take email subscription for granted,The web is so large that you can't afford to loose your visitors, One of the best way to make your website available to the world is to make your articles and blog posts available or syndication which mean visitors will be able to subscribe to your blog contents instead of having to visit your site directly to get the latest info and updates.

Ever since eBay acquired PayPal for $1.5 billion in 2002 they see it as an awkward partnership,The initial plan was to use eBay to for boosting PayPal transactions by driving auction participants toward the online payment service. But ever since the merge eBay has not benefited from it beyond pushing traffic.
So who will invest in PayPal? All of eBay's shareholders. The company said investors will receive one share of PayPal (tentatively under the symbol "PYPL" for every share of eBay ("EBAY" they own, according to a statement Friday.

Many web-Admin / Web-masters always want a way of hosting static files externally on the web to save space,access it anywhere,multiple usage and so many other reasons.In the case of those using free blogging services such as Google blogger platform, It is difficult to put all source code and files in a single XML template files, It better to store the files somewhere safe in the cloud where you can always link to it as an external file,There are many cloud storage services but for the purpose of this tutorial we are going to use Google G-drive as our cloud storage platform because it is free and fast.

Most of us always fall victim of such situation when you have already clicked the SEND button after some second you remember to attach a file to the e-mail, or some common situation when you sent an angry email to a friend and you wish you can take it back, Well here is your chance.
The Undo Send feature is now an official part of Gmail, no longer relegated to mere beta status in Gmail Labs. In honor of its new status, let's see how the the feature works

Security company NowSecure has discovered a potential breach related to the Swift keyboard installed on Samsung's Android devices upto 600 million Samsung Galaxy phones could be at risk of a major security breach that could see malicious hackers take control of parts of the phones. If security is breached, an attacker would be able to access the camera and microphone, secretly install apps, access pictures and listen in on phone calls.

Wonderful work, bro!

Just thinking..wouldnt it be wonderful if the whole thing was provided as a webservice? That way you can make calls like www.naijadatasite.com?info=lg&format=json and get a json,xml or array (i.e. anambra north, anambra south, ) response.

If it was done this way, more and more info could be added over time. It will be really useful to a lot of developers.

Thanks for your wonderful work!

Great Suggestion I will Look Into that.
Thanks.

Nairaland developers are neglecting user experience:
Try and add 1 to the pagination counter before Print, not everyone is a programmer

(0),(1),(2),(3) = (1),(2),(3)

For instance how do I say:
"Guy I saw Craigs comment on page Zero".

Any browser can run fast, I can even build a a browser that's faster than others, But all this browser have things that ordinary users don't understand but am sure all programmers must speak that language one way or another in all their projects.

It is called SECURITY : it what make Nairaland look this ugly(Security > Design) .
It is why Apple is more expensive than windows.
It is why Nigerians was restricted by paypal.

In short I really appreciate the kids, at their age I cant even write hello World in Objective C .
But comparing it with google chrome is like trying to generate PDF with JavaScript .
