Compilation of useful guides

In the process of creating this blog and producing materials and templates for the posts, I had to go through a lot of readings related to blogging, monetizing, Adsense, HTML coding, template design, ad positioning, and what not. There were lots of tiring hours Googling to fetch the good reading materials among the haystack of so-so ones.
