Popular Job Boards For Freelancers/Web Designers

2010-08-18T17:24:00.002+05:30

Here is a list of job boards where web designers can actually get paid a reasonable amount for the work they are expected to do. The most important thing to remember is to know what you are worth and don’t compromise yourself.

Elance

http://www.elance.com/ – You will find that there are many opportunities for freelance web designers here as well as other types of multimedia designers. There really is an impressive selection of jobs available on this website. If you know what you are looking for then you should be able to pick up some high quality freelancing work. Most of those listing jobs know exactly what they are looking for and this makes everything a lot easier.

Krop for designers

http://www.krop.com/ – The great thing about this website is that it has such an easy to use interface. You will find a lot of information about the clients and the jobs available. It also has a search function so that you can locate the jobs you are after more easily. You should easily be able to find well paying freelancing jobs to meet your specifications.

Odesk

http://odesk.com/ – This really is a great resource that seems to always have tons of good quality work available. You will find that some jobs aren’t offering too much money so you need to be careful about what you are applying for. Many of these jobs could be completed in a short time period and appear quite easy to complete. Another great thing about this website is that there are thousands of different tests that allow you to test your capability and knowledge for different subjects. This is useful because it allows clients to be better able to judge what you have to offer them.

Guru

http://guru.com/ – This job board provides opportunities for many different professionals involved in web work. Many of the jobs are related to marketing, but there are plenty of other jobs on offer as well.

Number 5 FreelanceSwitch jobs for designers

http://jobs.freelanceswitch.com/ – This is another great place for picking up work and you will find plenty of opportunities here. Most jobs come with complete descriptions and this will give you a good idea about their suitability. This website does involve a fee of $7 every month, but the standard of the opportunities available makes this worthwhile.

Fresh web jobs

http://www.freshwebjobs.com/ – This web site is also easy to navigate. The only drawback with this job board is that sometimes there doesn’t seem to be much work on offer. It does often have high quality work for programmers and designers though.

Finding work on all of these job boards can take a bit of effort; this is especially true if you are looking for high quality and well-paying work. You really need to be careful of what you are applying for and just because a job is offering low reward don’t imagine that it will mean less work. The fact is that many of the employers hiring on these sites have no real idea about the value of the work they are trying to hire.

Google Updated AdSense Ad Layouts

2010-08-16T17:55:00.001+05:30

The Google AdSense blog announced they have updated the layout of some AdSense units. The main changes were to make the ads “more space-efficient and visually pleasing,” said Google.

Specifically:

Leaderboard (728×90): the title, description, and URL are now arranged in rows instead of columns (except in the case when only one ad is showing)
Medium and large rectangles (300×250, 336×280): the URL is now in the same line as the title
Font size changes to make them more readable

Microsoft To Launch IE9 Beta Next Month

2010-08-15T11:02:00.001+05:30

Microsoft will unveil the Internet Explorer 9 beta next month at an event in San Francisco titled "Beauty of the Web."

Microsoft has built IE9 with the expectation that HTML5 will blur the line between Websites and native applications, and the company has built numerous enhancements in the forthcoming release.

"Developers are already working hard on some amazing new web experiences enabled by Internet Explorer 9," said James Pratt, product manager on the IE9 team, in a Thursday blog post.

Microsoft has been trumpeting IE9's speedy, hardware-accelerated HTML 5 rendering for the past several months, often by pitting IE9 against Firefox and Google's Chrome browser in handling graphically intensive Websites. However, critics have pointed out the selective nature of Microsoft's testing and noted that all of its competitors are also working on hardware fueled HTML5 rendering.

So far Microsoft has dished up over 2.5 million downloads of the four IE9 platform previews, the most recent of which was released in early August.

IE9 comes with a new JavaScript engine called Chakra that boosts the speed and performance of IE9 by compiling Javascript in a separate background thread while Windows runs in parallel on separate CPU core. Microsoft has also integrated the JavaScript engine natively in IE9, something it sees as crucial to being able to deliver superior performance.

"How a JavaScript engine is integrated into the browser is as important as the engine itself for real-world HTML5," Microsoft said in a blog post earlier this month.

At an event in June heralding the arrival of the third IE9 platform preview, Microsoft showed SunSpider Javascript benchmark testing results in which IE9 handily beat Chrome 4 and the current shipping version of Firefox, completing a data crunching test in 347 milliseconds.

Microsoft has also confirmed HTML Canvas tag support in IE9 as well the availability of HTML audio and video tags, and showed its growing adherence to Web standards by noting that IE9's Acid3 score jumped from 68 to 83 since the previous developer preview.

All New Gmail !!

2010-08-11T22:16:00.005+05:30

Google has revamped its email service Gmail. The company has overhauled the contact management tool found inside Gmail.

In a blog post Benjamin Grol, Gmail product manager said "An improved Contacts interface has been the number one requested feature from user feedback."
While the core Gmail experience has been changed significantly since its 2004 launch, the Contacts interface has not seen too many changes. The new version of Gmail's contact manager, which Google says is already in the process of going out to users, brings with it a number of changes and addons.

* Mail, Contacts, and Tasks links have moved to the top left of Gmail.

* Compose mail is now a button rather than a link.

* A smaller header area puts the first message in users' inbox.

* The Select All, None, Read, Unread, and Starred links that used to be above your messages are now options in a drop-down menu, next to the Archive button.

* Keyboard shortcuts now work in Contacts too, and Google has made selecting and grouping contacts more like selecting and labeling email.

* Users can now sort contacts by last name. Look under More actions for this option.

* Use custom labels for phone numbers and other fields.

* Now, when users have the option to undo their recent changes.

* Automatic saving: This means users no longer need to worry about 'edit' mode or `view' mode — just edit away and Gmail will save your changes.

* Structured name fields: Users can now set name components (i.e. Title, First, Middle, Last and Suffix) explicitly or continue to use the name field as a free form area if they prefer a less structured approach.

* Manual and bulk contact merge: Users can now merge contacts from the More actions menu. All they need to do is select the contacts they would like to merge and select Merge contacts from under the More actions menu.

200,000 Android Phones Sold Every Day :Google

2010-08-06T20:12:00.001+05:30

If there are still doubts about the Android juggernaut, the latest numbers from Google should help settle it. Some 200,000 new Android devices are being sold each day, up from about 100,000 just two months ago, says Google CEO Eric Schmidt.

Schmidt told attendees at the Techonomy conference, “Android is not just phenomenal but incredibly phenomenal in its growth rate.”

Google’s comment comes on the heels of data from Nielsen earlier this week that showed, for the first time, that people in the U.S. bought more Android phones than iPhones.

Research firm iSuppli predicts Android’s market share will surpass that of the iPhone’s iOS in 2012.

By 2012, Android will be used in 75 million smartphones, up from 5 million in 2009, says iSuppli. IOS will be in 62 million phones in 2012, up from 25 million in 2009.

That means in two years, Android will have a 19.4 percent market share worldwide among smartphone operating systems, up from 2.7 percent in 2009. Apple’s iOS for the iPhone will see its share go up to 15.9 percent in 2012 from 13.8 percent in 2009, says iSuppli.

Android’s rapid growth should come as no surprise to industry watchers. Since Google worked with HTC and T-Mobile to launch the first Android-based smartphone in 2008, the open-source operating system has been adopted by major handset manufacturers including Samsung, Motorola and HTC.

“The OS started with entry-level models in 2008, but the flexibility Android offers for hardware designs and its appealing business model in terms of revenue sharing have attracted vigorous support,” says Tina Teng, senior analyst, wireless communications for iSuppli.

Twitter to suggest the People you want to Follow

2010-08-02T13:41:00.002+05:30

The micro-blogging service began rolling out a new feature Friday called "Suggestions for You" which directs users to other Twitter accounts they may find interesting.

"With more than a hundred million users on Twitter, there are sure to be at least dozens of accounts out there that will reflect your interests," Twitter said on its official blog.

"The trouble is finding all of them," it said. "Today we're beginning to roll out a simple, but powerful new feature to help address that."

Twitter said the "Suggestions for You" algorithms find other accounts of potential interest using various factors, including "people you follow and the people they follow."

A Twitter user who clicks on the "Who to Follow" link on the Twitter homepage sees a list of suggested accounts to follow.

Twitter, which combines the strengths of blogs and instant messaging services, enables users to send and receive short messages of up to 140 characters on personal computers and mobile devices.

Twitter said it planned to make the suggestions feature available to developers of desktop and mobile applications for Twitter.

Social network Facebook already offers a similar feature called "People You May Know" which suggests possible new friends to members.

PayPal Restored bank withdrawal Service in India

2010-08-02T13:37:00.001+05:30

Just a couple of days back, PayPal had shocked a lot of Indian users by announcing that starting August 1, PayPal would not allow electronic withdrawal of funds from any PayPal account in India. The only option would be to request for a withdrawal of funds by cheque. According to PayPal, this decision had to be taken in accordance with "regulatory instructions".

However, what comes as a relief is that PayPal has restored electronic withdrawals for its India-based users. On the company's official blog, corporate communication spokesperson Dickson Seow apologized for the inconvenience caused and thanked users for their support.

Also, PayPal said it will continue to provide the $5 processing fee refund for any cheque withdrawals made from July 29 until further notice.

Experts predict the world will run out of internet addresses in less than a year

2010-07-26T20:58:00.002+05:30

The internet protocol used by the majority of web users, IPv4, provides for about four billion IP addresses -- the unique 32-digit number used to identify each computer, website or internet-connected device.

There are currently only 232 million IP addresses left -- enough for about 340 days -- thanks to the explosion in smartphones and other web-enabled devices.

"When the IPv4 protocol was developed 30 years ago, it seemed to be a reasonable attempt at providing enough addresses," carrier relations manager at Australian internet service provider (ISP) Internode John Lindsay told the Herald.

"Bearing in mind that at that point personal computers didn't really exist, the idea that mobile phones might want an IP address hadn't occurred to anybody because mobile phones hadn't been invented [and] the idea that air-conditioners and refrigerators might want them was utterly ludicrous."

The solution to the problem is IPv6, which uses a 128-digit address. It would give everyone in the world more than four billion addresses each, but most of the internet industry has so far been reluctant to introduce it.

It would require each device that connects to the internet to be reconfigured or upgraded, with some users even being forced to buy new hardware, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

In the meantime ISPs may force multiple customers to share IP addresses, which may lead to common applications, such as Gmail and iTunes, ceasing to work.

There are also fears a black market of IP addresses may spring up.

India unveils $35 touch-screen computer

2010-07-24T10:44:00.001+05:30

The Indian government has unveiled the prototype of an iPad-like touch-screen laptop, with a price tag of $35 (£23), which it hopes to roll out next year.

Aimed at students, the tablet supports web browsing, video conferencing and word processing, say developers.

Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal said a manufacturer was being sought for the gadget, which was developed by India's top IT colleges.

An earlier cheap laptop plan by the same ministry came to nothing.

The device unveiled on Thursday has no hard disk, using a memory card instead, like a mobile phone, and can run on solar power, according to reports.

It would cost a fraction of the price of California-based technology giant Apple's hugely popular iPad, which retails from $499.Mr Sibal said the Indian tablet, said to run the Linux operating system, was expected to be introduced to higher education institutions next year.

The plan was to drop the price eventually to $20 and ultimately to $10, he added.

Unveiling the gadget, the human resource development minister told the Economic Times newspaper it was India's answer to the "$100 laptops" developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the US.

"The solutions for tomorrow will emerge from India," Mr Sibal said, reports news agency AFP.

Last year, one of the ministry's officials announced it was about to unveil a $10 laptop, triggering worldwide media interest.

But there was disappointment after the "Sakshat" turned out to be a prototype of a handheld device, with an unspecified price tag, that never materialised.

To develop its latest gadget, the ministry said it had turned to the elite Indian Institute of Technology, and the Indian Institute of Science, after a lacklustre response from the private sector.

Mamta Varma, a ministry spokeswoman, said the device was feasible because of falling hardware costs.

Several global manufacturers, including at least one from Taiwan, had expressed interest in making the device, she said, although no deals had been agreed, and she declined to name any of the companies.

The project is part of a government initiative which also aims to extend broadband to all of India's 25,000 colleges and 500 universities.

In 2005, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) unveiled the prototype of a $100 laptop for children in the developing world, although it ended up costing about double that price.

In May, Nicholas Negroponte - of the MIT's Media Lab - announced plans to develop a basic tablet computer for $99 through his non-profit association, One Laptop per Child.

2.5 Million Muslims Threaten To Leave Facebook

2010-07-20T11:14:00.001+05:30

Millions of Muslim Facebook users are threatening to quit the social network after Islamic pages were removed.

The 2.5 million protesters have threatened to switch to an Islamic social network 'Medina' if Facebook does not restore the pages by midnight on 21 July.

Among the pages removed by the social networking giant are 'I love Mohammed' and 'Quran Lovers', which Facebook says were used to spam users.

A letter posted by the protesters on the website states: “Although you have attended the world's best communication skills courses you have been most successful in growing great hatred and hostility between you and Muslims around the world, but seriously this time you have caused an almost unrepairable [sic] damage.”

The protesters have also asked the company to introduce new rules that make posting anti-Islamic comments a violation of Facebook terms of use.

The letter also condemned the 'Everybody draw Muhammad Day' pages that urged users to draw caricatures of the Prophet and led to the site being temporarily banned in Pakistan.

Make you Fairer on Facebook : Vaseline Launches Facebook app that "whitens" your profile pic

2010-07-16T10:14:00.000+05:30

The fact that India has always been obsessed with fair skin is well known. Thanks to this obsession, popularity of creams that promise a lighter shade of skin in a matter of few weeks have always been high. While until now, these promotions were restricted to print and Television advertisements, a new fairness cream has broken traditional grounds by giving itself a social media platform and even has an app of its own.

Vaseline has made a new application for users on Facebook to promote its fairness cream for men. What is more interesting is what the application actually does. Using the app, users can make the skin tone on their profile pics a few shades lighter so that they can "preview" their look should they become fairer after using the cream. The page already has 500 plus fans and it is likely that the number would go up pretty fast - mostly with members from our Fairness obsessed country.

The people behind the ad have claimed that the campaign has been a roaring success, as told to the AFP. However, questions are already being raised over the "racist" nature of the app. Vaseline has roped in popular Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor to promote the cream. We wonder why Shahid, who is a far cry from being dark complexioned, would require a fairer complexion to become more attractive? Same is the case with Shahrukh khan who promotes a rival brand.

Picture a scenario of a similar application or an advertisement appearing in U.S. Will a product that is named "Healthy White Body Milk" ever sell in U.S.? Do you think the U.S. authorities would ever approve of a racist name like that? We don't think so.

We wonder whatever happened to the concept of the tall, dark and handsome man. Or is it that this concept has a conditions apply asterisk that says "excludes India"?

Would you change the color of your Facebook profile pic a few shades lighter? Leave us a comment and let us know.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini

2010-07-13T18:38:00.002+05:30

Android phones are quite complicated. The different versions (Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, Froyo) denote what kind of dessert you’re being treated to at the Android app buffet.

Each version brings more features, but the upgrade involves more complications. The end user may have to wait for months to get updates after purchase. The HTC Hero got the 2.1 firmware update in India only last week. For its users, it was like an extra dollop of cream with a cherry on top. However, of the dozen Android phones available in India, a majority of them are still riding on version 1.5 or 1.6, and might never see version 2.1 or 2.2 before the end of their mobiles’ lifecycle.

Most manufacturers using the Android OS regard it as the vanilla ice cream layer, and insist on serving it with nuts and chocolate to demand a hefty premium over affordable feature phones. Probably, the best example of this is HTC’s Sense UI (user interface) overlay. Other manufacturers including Samsung, LG, and Acer, have made their own UI skins (overlays).

Sony, of course, with all its design and lifestyle aspirations associated with the brand has added plenty of chique to the geek on the Sony Ericsson Xperia series.

While most geeks take to Androids like ducks to water, I’m not sure if most people care about running an open standards OS on their handsets. Statistics on Androids show that males have a higher preference for this. In contrast, the X10 Mini, aka E10i, is preferred by the ladies.

Specs wise, the Xperia X10 is similar to the HTC Tattoo. It runs on Android 1.6 (Donut), and is priced at around the same range. It betters the former with a capacitive screen which has dual-touch capability. This allows two-finger interaction and gestures like pinch, pivot and rotate. Also notable is its 5-megapixel camera with LED flash, and the ability to record VGA resolution video at 30 FPS.

The Xperia X10 Mini has a proprietary UI implementation called Timescape, that brings data from all your communication nodes -- SMS, email, missed calls, Facebook and Twitter updates chronologically on the homescreen. So, you don’t have to open each app to see what’s going on. I experienced little or no lag on this phone and found the battery life tolerable, thanks to its smaller screen.

Opera Mini 5.1 Optimized For 3000 Phones

2010-07-09T10:49:00.000+05:30

Opera Mini 5 was a significant update to the world’s most popular mobile browser, which made it a whole lot more awesome. Unfortunately for some users, Opera Mini 5 didn’t work on the absolute low-end handsets that Opera Mini 4 handled with aplomb.

Opera Mini 5.1, the first significant update to Opera Mini 5, is optimized to run on phones with low memory. The updated build features a refined skin with improved tab handling and introduces overall performance improvements.

While this update is not critical for smartphone users, it is a highly recommended update for everyone using Opera Mini on low-end handsets (especially those who have been encountering out of memory issues).

“The goal with Opera Mini is to make the Web available to anyone, anywhere, regardless of where they come from or the handset they have,” said Lars Boilesen, CEO, Opera Software. “More than 61 million people on over 3000 devices have chosen to surf the Web with Opera Mini for fast and easy Internet access at a considerably lower cost.”

You can find out more about Opera Mini 5 from our previous articles. Opera Mini can be downloaded from m.opera.com and opera.com/mobile/download/. Desktop wallpapers celebrating the new release are also available from the Opera Design Blog.

Airtel Offers Free Facebook for Two Months

2010-07-08T00:42:00.001+05:30

Airtel has announced the free availability of Facebook's mobile site for it users. Airtel users can avail this facility for two months without paying any charge. These users will be able to post status updates, comment and write on walls, message others, and also be able to view or upload photo. The free acess to Airtel subscribers will be available for the month of July and August.

Airtel has also announced that subscribers will be able to access Facebook in five additional Indian languages such as Punjabi, Bengali, Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam by 15^th of July. Currently subscribers can access it in Hindi and English. Commenting on the launch, Henri Moissinac, Head of Mobile Business, Facebook said “Working closely with Bharti Airtel is a great opportunity to bring our full mobile experience to their 130 million customers across India.

It will be interesting to see if the prices are dropped for accessing Facebook after these two months or it is just an offer to attract more youngsters to the network.

Mozilla Releases Firefox 4 Beta

2010-07-08T00:40:00.000+05:30

Mozilla on Wednesday released the Firefox 4 public beta, the latest iteration of the free, open-source Web browser.

The new release comes several days after Mozilla released the first pre-release code for Firefox 4, and the updated version brings a number of changes designed to enhance the browser's usability and security.

The obvious change is the browser's look. Like Chrome and Opera, tabs are now located at the top of the browser (Windows only), and a new add-on manager is included to make it easier to find plugins.

Under the hood, Firefox 4 beta 1 heightens security, offers crash protection, supports technologies that are vying to become new Web standards (HTML5 and WebM), and contains other bells and whistles.

The download is available on the Mozilla Web site. Look for a hands-on with Firefox 4 beta shortly at PCMag.com.

Google Adds Real-Time Stats To Blogger

2010-07-05T11:12:00.000+05:30

Blogger, Google’s blog publishing platform, has just been given a useful new feature many a Blogger user will appreciate: near real-time statistics (via Louis Gray).

Dubbed Blogger Stats, the feature is available for all non-private Blogger blogs. The only catch is you’ll only see the new ‘Stats’ tab when you go to draft.blogger.com

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini

2010-07-05T11:09:00.000+05:30

Features and Performance
Interface
The Android OS (v1.6) runs on the Mini’s Qualcomm MSM7227 600MHz processer making the UI extremely zippy. Sony Ericsson’s TimeScape UI (seen in the X10 ) works well here. The Four Corner UI is convenient and simple to set up and use. It offers multiple desktops but can only have a single widget per page. The UI is smooth and easy to navigate easily with just your thumb. It’s well designed. And looks and feels very much QUALCOMM’s Brew Platform rather than Android.

Media
Music quality is great. The player is simple and capable of providing loud and clear tones even without any settings. The Infinity button enables you to get additional information on each track from corresponding YouTube videos to other data with the press of a key. The FM radio didn’t work out too well. Reception was not very good even in areas where I usually get great reception. TrackID is also available for getting data on songs via external source or the radio. The handset supports 3GP and MPEG4 files even if they’re in iPhone resolution. Of course the screen size and resolution doesn’t make it easy to watch for too long, irrespective of how clear it is. A couple of games have been preloaded and of course if you want more, the Android Marketplace is a great place to look.

Madonna's daughter turns fashion blogger

2010-07-01T13:54:00.000+05:30

Madonna's teenage daughter Lourdes Leon has become a fashion blogger.

The 13-year-old has started a fashion blog to write about Material Girl, the fashion range she is set to launch with her mother at Macy's.

"Helluuur thurrrr, I'm Lola and this is my first blog entry so it's kind of like ummmm," Lourdes wrote on the blog.

Lourdes wrote about turning 14 in the post.

She enthused: "I'll be 14 in October, so I can't wait for that because I am FINALLY allowed to dye my hair… THANK YOU MOTHER!!"

The teen revealed that her fashion line would be "'80s themed" and that her favourite band is My Chemical Romance.

SMS addicts at risk of post-traumatic text disorder

2010-07-01T13:51:00.000+05:30

Textaphrenia, post-traumatic text disorder, textiety, binge texting are other maladies that await the text-addicted, Australian researcher Jennie Carroll said yesterday.

Carroll, of Melbourne's RMIT University, was commenting on figures from service provider Boost Mobile that SMS traffic had almost doubled in volume since 2008.

One of its teenage customers was averaging 444 messages a day.

Among the possible downsides of SMSing, outlined by Carroll:

Textaphrenia is the mistaken belief that you have heard the beep of an incoming SMS.

Post-traumatic text disorder is when texters walk into things or become oblivious to what is around them.

Textiety is the crisis of confidence when time goes by without an SMS being received, while Binge texting is the sending a blizzard of SMSes to boost confidence.

"With textaphrenia and textiety, there's a feeling 'no one loves me, no one's contacted me'," Carroll said.

She said binge texting could either reflect the delusion you had more friends than you actually had, or be a cry for help. "You think you've been left out of the loop so you send a lot of texts and wait for the response," Carroll said. - Sapa-dpa

Android™ Phone -What it is?

2010-05-12T13:51:00.001+05:30

An Android™ phone is a cellphone that uses the Google-developed Android™ operating system and platform. Google partnered with the High Tech Computer Corporation (HTCC) to build hardware for the G1 cellphone, the first mobile phone to run the Android™ platform. In 2008, T-Mobile premiered the G1 Android™ phone to the public.

On the technical side, an Android™ phone runs on the Android™ operating system, key applications and middleware. It's Linux kernel-based, has applications that are written in the Java language and can even run applications written in the C language. It is also a product, partly, of the Open Handset Alliance, which encourages the use and advancement of open source software for cellphones.

One of the biggest differences between a phone running the Android™ platform and others is that the software Android™ uses is a complex operating system. In contrast, the majority of operational cellphones run primitive real time applications.

Beware of new worm spreading through Skype, Yahoo Messenger news

2010-05-11T09:37:00.002+05:30

Bkis researchers report that a worm targeting Yahoo! Messenger users is now also targeting users of Skype.

"The malware arrives via instant message through Yahoo or Skype with any one of a number of messages, including 'Does my new hair style look good? bad? perfect?' or 'My printer is about to be thrown through a window if this pic won't come out right. You see anything wrong with it?' Bkis wrote in a blog post," writes CNET News' Elinor Mills.

"The message includes a link to a Web page that looks like it leads to a JPEG, or image file," Mills writes. "When the link is clicked on, the browser displays an interface that looks like the RapidShare Web hosting site and offers up a ZIP file for download. The extracted file is actually an executable file with a .com extension."

Toshiba introducing world's thinnest, lightest laptop

2010-05-10T00:08:00.001+05:30

Thin-and-light laptops were a major trend in 2009, but is that still the case in 2010? A recently circulating series of photos from Vietnamese tech Web site vozExpress show what looks like a soon-to-be-announced Toshiba laptop, one that promises to be both the thinnest and lightest 13-incher on the market. Based on the corner we can see, it certainly looks attractive. As to whether it's truly useful remains to be seen.

We've gone down this road before with the Dell Adamo, MacBook Air, MSI X340, and the Dell Adamo XPS. Being extremely thin and light can be attractive qualities in a notebook, but they're usually also expensive ones, and tend to happen at the expense of performance and/or battery life.

That might be where this Toshiba could have an edge: the report claims the computer will run off a standard-voltage Intel Core i3/i5 CPU and have a second, specialized Super Charged Ion battery, a new technology that can charge to 90 percent capacity in 10 minutes. SCiB batteries haven't been used yet in laptops; Toshiba's Web site mentions applications ranging from lawnmowers and electric bicycles to forklifts and solar power generators. It's unclear whether a laptop version would offer a long battery life, or just be able to charge-and-rally quickly.

Based on the news of a specialized battery and the bit of design we see peeking out of this photograph, it doesn't sound like it will be cheap. But it does sound intriguing, especially if the battery reports turn out to be true.

To know what it means take a look at the comments here on this blog and you will see the profiles pictures of the commentators near to the comments.If you are using some default blogger template things would be much easy.Here is a little screenshot of the new feature.

1.First of all Go to Blogger > Settings >Comments and enable “Show profile images on comment”

2.Now if you have a normal un customized template you will see the avatars on the comments on your blog.

3.If you have a customized template you will have to add some codes and play around with your template.For that first go to Blogger Layout >Edit HTML and backup your template.

4.Expand the widget templates and check if you can find this line there

<dl expr:class='data:post.avatarIndentClass' id='comments-block'>

If you can’t then that means we have something to do..

If you couldn’t find this,then do the following steps.

a)Find

<dl id='comments-block'>

and replace it with

<dl expr:class='data:post.avatarIndentClass' id='comments-block'>

b)Now Find all occurrences of

<a expr:name='data:comment.anchorName'/>

and replace each of it with

<b:if cond='data:comment.favicon'> <img expr:src='data:comment.favicon' height='16px' style='margin-bottom:-2px;' width='16px'/> </b:if> <a expr:name='data:comment.anchorName'/> <b:if cond='data:blog.enabledCommentProfileImages'> <div expr:class='data:comment.avatarContainerClass'> <data:comment.authorAvatarImage/> </div> </b:if>

If you are using the author comment highlighting trick and if doesn’t work out with that trick,then leave a comment and i will try to help you out..

50 Amazing Themes for Blogger

2009-12-06T19:26:00.000+05:30

Blogger may not be the first blogging platform you would choose, it does have a reputation of being lacklustre, featureless and the bog standard skins have the look of a site that was designed five years ago. The reputation is maybe a little bit exaggerated, but really, when was the last time you had a look at Blogger?
I have generally ignored Bloggers development over the last few years, and was pleasantly surprised at what I found when researching this post. Not only are there a healthy volume of widgets and addons, sprinkles of javascript and Ajax, there are also amazing themes that you would just not expect from Blogger. For me, the themes are certainly the greatest improvement, you may notice quite a lot of the themes below have been ported from Wordpress, which isn’t a bad thing. Long may it continue.

Fix Wordpress automatic upgrade Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted....

2009-11-27T01:04:00.002+05:30

This means that the server is not allowing to process the size of the data than its maximum allotted size. The error normally occurs when PHP tries to process a big database records or when importing or exporting. Here are the fixes. Try one by one and check

1. Increase the memory limit setting in php.ini e.g. (memory_limit = 64M ;). Many hosts may not allow this.
2. Increase the memory limit via .htaccess e.g. (php_value memory_limit 64M). Many hosts may not allow this.
3. Increase the memory limit via wp-config.php .Put the below code right before the 'stop editing' comment

ini_set('memory_limit','64M');

Wordpress SEO Tips

2009-10-30T17:57:00.001+05:30

Consider using keywords relevant to your article;
If the keywords are somehow related to each other, that’s a plus (for example: internet marketing, online marketing, search engine marketing);
Use different keywords for different blog posts. In most cases, search engines will return two results from you blog at most, so having five or six posts optimized for the same set of keywords would be a waste of content;
Write your article first, but with the right keywords in mind, not the other way around;
Use your most important keyword(s) in the title tag. If you’re using a SEO plugin, you can set a different page title than that of your blog post;
Use those keywords in the META description too;
Use the keywords in the title of your blog post and preferably in the first phrase or paragraph of your article;
Edit the post slug (permalink) so that it contains the most important keyword and also try to keep it as short as possible;
Place the keyword(s) a few more times (don’t overdo it) throughout the article in a humanly natural order and context;
If there are other older relevant posts on your blog, try to create backlinks from them using the selected keywords as anchor text (same goes for external incoming links).

How to Exclude categories from wordpress frontpage/homepage

2009-10-21T10:15:00.002+05:30

This is actually very simple. All you have to do is modify some PHP code.

First, goto Manage > Categories and get the ID of the Category you wish to exclude. Then, go to WP admin and selet Presentation > Theme Editor ..

For your current theme, edit the loop where the posts are displayed.

Here is the sample from K2 Theme’s post display loop.


    <?php /* Start the loop */ while ( have_posts() )
         {

         the_post();

       ?>

MODIFIED CODE :


     <?php /* Start the loop */ while ( have_posts() )

  {

  the_post();

  if (is_home()) if (in_category('14')) continue;
  if (is_home()) if (in_category('47')) continue;

  ?>

The modified code doesnt show posts that belong to Categories 14 and 47 in homepage.

Create 3 Column Footer Section In Blogger Template

2009-08-22T11:42:00.002+05:30

Back up your existing blog template
Move all existing widgets from the existing footer section
Add extra code to your footer section.

Go to Template>Edit HTML in your Blogger dashboard, and do not check the "expand widget templates" box (this simplifies the process).

Now you need to find this section in your template:

<div id='footer-wrapper'>
<b:section class='footer' id='footer'/>
</div>

Replace the entire line highlighted in red with the code below:

<div id='footer-column-container'>

        <div id='footer2' style='width: 30%; float: left; margin:0; text-align: left;'>

            <b:section class='footer-column' id='col1' preferred='yes' style='float:left;'/>
        </div>

        <div id='footer3' style='width: 40%; float: left; margin:0; text-align: left;'>
            <b:section class='footer-column' id='col2' preferred='yes' style='float:left;'/>
        </div>

        <div id='footer4' style='width: 30%; float: right; margin:0; text-align: left;'>

            <b:section class='footer-column' id='col3' preferred='yes' style='float:right;'/>
        </div>

<div style='clear:both;'/>
<p>
<hr align='center' color='#5d5d54' width='90%'/></p>
<div id='footer-bottom' style='text-align: center; padding: 10px; text-transform: lowercase;'>

<b:section class='footer' id='col-bottom' preferred='yes'>
<b:widget id='Text2' locked='false' title='' type='Text'/>
</b:section>

</div>
<div style='clear:both;'/>

</div>

Its a good idea to save your template at this stage, before we add just one small section of code to style the new footer section and ensure that the widgets don't get pushed beneath each other when you add them later.

Adding style for the new footer section

Once again, open the Edit HTML section in your Blogger dashboard. This time, you need to find the closing "" tag, which is where the style section of your template ends.

Immediately before this line, add the following lines of code:

#footer-column-container {
  clear:both;
  }

.footer-column {
  padding: 10px;
  }

And save your template again. The style in these lines of code ensure that the footer column don't get too bunched up, or slide beneath each other in the layout of your template.

Now you have finished adding these new sections to your footer, go to the Layout section of your Blogger dashboard (Template>Layout), and you will see the three new column, plus a lower section which spans the width of all three column, to which you can now add new widgets!

Automatic posting to Blogger blogs with PHP

2009-07-06T15:49:00.002+05:30

Yes, you can autopost to blogspot (blogger) blogs with php, and it’s a lot easier than you might think.

Similar to the way that plugins like wp-o-matic work for automatically posting rss feeds to Wordpress blogs, you can have a blogger blog which is automatically populated with RSS feed content, at intervals that you determine (by a cron job).

Blogger blogs allow the blogs owner to post via email, so we’re going to use PHP’s mail function to post new content, and PHP’s SimpleXML to gather the content before posting.

Firstly, we need to set up our blogger blog to accept emailed posts: We need to go to our settings page in Blogger, and click the “Settings” tab at the top. Then click the “email” button.

You’re now at the Email settings page, look for the Mail-to-Blogger Address. Here you just need to enter a password (in the box before the “@ablogger.com”) that you’ll use in your emails to post to the blogger blog.

Once you’ve chosen your password, write down the email address, as this is the email address we’ll be using in the PHP script to tell it where to post the rss feed to.

Now on to the script:

<?php

//Your Blog%u2019s Keyword:
$keyword = %u201Ckeyword%u201D;

//How many articles do you want to grab each time?
$num = 5;

//Get the RSS Feed - In this instance, we%u2019re using a google blogsearch feed based on our chosen keyword
$feed = simplexml_load_file(%u201Dhttp://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch_feeds?hl=en&scoring=d&q=%u201D .urlencode($keyword). %u201C&ie=utf-8&num=10&output=rss%u201D);

//Loop through our keywords
foreach ($feed->channel->item as $item) {

if($i < $num){

//Have a bit of a rest so we%u2019re not posting too fast to our blogger blog
sleep(10);

$title = $item->title;
$title = str_replace(%u201D<b>%u201D, %u201C%u201D, $title);
$subject = str_replace(%u201D</b>%u201D, %u201C%u201D, $title);
$link = $item->link;

$description = $item->description;
$description = str_replace(%u201D<b>%u201D, %u201C%u201D, $description);
$body = str_replace(%u201D</b>%u201D, %u201C%u201D, $description);

//put our secret blogger email address here:
$to = %u201Caccountname.password@blogger.com%u201D;

//ignore this line - the script just needs something in the %u201CFrom%u201D field.
$headers = %u2018From: mail@whatever.com%u2019;

//Send the email / How%u2019d we go?
if(mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers)) {
echo $subject. %u201D - sent<br>%u201D;
}
else
{
echo $subject. %u201D - NOT sent<br>%u201D;

}
}
//add one to our counter
$i  ;

}

?>

And that’s it.

Customise the script to suit your purposes, upload to your server, and call it via a cron job.

How to Exclude Selected Pages from the WordPress Navigation

2009-07-03T23:24:00.003+05:30

Pages are displayed with the following code, which is generally used in the header, footer, or sidebar.

 <?php wp_list_pages();?>

This will list all of your pages until you add conditions in between ‘()’. You need to use the exclude condition and find out what number ID each page has. The exclude code looks like

<?php wp_list_pages('exclude=17,38' ); ?>
You can see that you have added 'exclude=17,38' to the original
list pages code.

Of course, we need to locate the correct ID numbers for your pages.

Go to Manage > Pages and select the name of the page in which you would like to exclude. In the address bar of your web browser will be a URL that looks like the following.

http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/page.php?action=edit&post=96

The number at the end, 96, is the ID number for the page and is the number you will use in the exclude code. You can do this for each page that you want to exclude as long as you put a comma between the page numbers in the code.

2009-06-21T21:33:00.003+05:30

Go to your blogger account, and navigate to Layout >> Edit html, and check check Expand Widget Templates

<!-- Your AdSense code -->
