Adding Breadcrumb Navigation to Blogger

Post under Blogger, Blogging, Tutorials at 04:19 Posted by Mr Ga - hacobi1102

Many forums have breadcrumb which lets you navigate from one label to another , similarly even wordpress has plugins for that one , its even possible in blogger [ blogspot blogs ] by tweaking blogger template which is one of the best blogger hacks and recommended for all . However , on the main page of my Blog there is no breadcrumb, because that is Home but as soon as you click on a particular blog post or on a label or an archive entry, you will see how the breadcrumb will be automatically visible on top of the page :
Browse » Home » Tutorials » Adding Breadcrumb Navigation to Blogger
Below is a step by step walk through which I have aimed at beginners so that anyone reading my blog will be able to follow the instructions , so here is an easy piece of code to add breadcrumbs !
Step 1:      Save your template by going to the Layout tab, and click Edit HTML.
Download your template as an XML-file and save it on your PC . If anything goes wrong, upload it again and your blog style will be same , no damage to blog posts will occur just there can be messing up of widgets and abnormal design can occur mistakenly !

Step 2:
       Expand the widget template

Step 3:
         Scroll down through your expanded widget code and look for this code :

<b:includable id='main' var='top'>

<div class='blog-posts hfeed'>

<b:include data='top' name='status-message'/>

<data:adStart/>

Step 4 :
Now our job is very simple , just replace the gap with below code , it should look like this

<b:includable id='main' var='top'>

<div class='blog-posts hfeed'>

<b:include data='posts' name='breadcrumb'/>
<data:adStart/>

You have to add the RED code in between gaps on 3rd step !

Step 5 :
Now , Immediately search for <b:includable id='main' var='top'>
and add this code above it !

<b:includable id='breadcrumb' var='posts'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.homepageUrl == data:blog.url'>

<b:else/>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<div class='breadcrumbs'>
Browse » <a expr:href='data:blog.homepageUrl' rel='tag'>Home</a>
<b:loop values='data:posts' var='post'>
<b:if cond='data:post.labels'>
<b:loop values='data:post.labels' var='label'>
<b:if cond='data:label.isLast == "true"'> »
<a expr:href='data:label.url' rel='tag'><data:label.name/></a>
</b:if>
</b:loop>
» <span><data:post.title/></span>
</b:if>
</b:loop>
</div>
<b:else/>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "archive"'>
<div class='breadcrumbs'>
Browse » <a expr:href='data:blog.homepageUrl'>Home</a> » Archives for <data:blog.pageName/>
</div>
<b:else/>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "index"'>
<div class='breadcrumbs'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageName == ""'>
Browse » <a expr:href='data:blog.homepageUrl'>Home</a> » All posts
<b:else/>
Browse » <a expr:href='data:blog.homepageUrl'>Home</a> » Posts filed under <data:blog.pageName/>
</b:if>
</div>
</b:if>
</b:if>
</b:if>
</b:if>
</b:includable>
<b:includable id='main' var='top'>

Step 5 :
Its better to add CSS to the skin
Search for ]]></b:skin>

and add this code above it

<b:skin><![CDATA[/*

....

.breadcrumbs {
float: left;
width: 590px;
font-size: 11px;
margin: 5px 10px 20px 10px;
padding: 0px 0px 3px 0px;
border-bottom: double #EAEAEA;
}

....

]]></b:skin>

Step 6 :
Your job is over , don't ever forget to SAVE YOUR TEMPLATE !

SEO Benefits of a Breadcrumb :
Anchor text such as labels tells search engines about the subject of the linked page and thus its very helpful in optimizing SEO. Search engines view a breadcrumb with a text link to relevant keywords in the post as important. Apart from improving the navigation of your blog adding a breadcrumb has many cool uses , hence its better and recommended for bloggers to add and improve navigation of a Blogger Blogspot blog by adding breadcrumb navigation as Google treat anchor text links as important.

Adding Meta Tags to Blogger

Post under Blogger, SEO, Tutorials at 02:01 Posted by Mr Ga - hacobi1102

Addings meta tags to your Blogger Blogspot blog is the first thing to do right after creating blog to increase the SEO of your blog . It is only the META tags that plays vital role in search engine rankings although many key factors are there , but this one is one of the top factors, better keywords , what you get is Better SEO and better traffic to blog .
So lets see how to add Meta content in blogger :
First of all , What are Meta Tags?

Meta tags are HTML tags that provide more additional information about your blog that is invisible , in short cannot be seen by visitors but available to all search engines google , yahoo , bing , altavista etc. The meta description tags/keywords provides a short summary of the page content. The keyword meta tags show the keywords and keyword phrases a visitor might use to find your blog.

Because of abuse of meta tags search engines have become smarter and most no longer place emphasis on keywords to establish page ranking however keyword meta tags are still used by some search engines so it is a good idea to include them.Meta tags and meta descriptions has be inserted into your Blogger Blogspot blog template and is very easy process and it does not even slow down your blog . It will work a long way for improving the placement of your blog in search engine results.
Simply placing a meta tag description in your Blogger template is problematic because Blogger will use the same meta tags for all pages in your blog. This means that every entry that Google has for your site will show in search results with the same description. This solution would result in reduced traffic rather than increased traffic. However there is a way to add meta tags to the home page of your blog only which will not affect post pages in your blog. In this way visitors will find the home page of your blog in search engines by the use of appropriate keywords and a site description and by submitting sitemaps feed .
How to Add Meta Tags to a Blogger Blogspot Blog Home Page
Login to Blogger
Navigate to Layout > Edit HTML
Back up your template as a precaution by downloading full template.
Check the Expand Widget Templates box
Find these lines which will be near the top of your template:

<head>
<b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>

Paste the following code right below <title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>

<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'>
<meta content='Place your blog description here' name='description'/>
<meta content='Place your blog keywords here(separated by commas)'
name='keywords'/>
</b:if>

Enter your blog description between the single quote marks under description.
Maximum 150 characters
Enter the keywords of your blog between the single quote marks under keywords. Ensure you separate each keyword or keyword phrase by a comma. Make sure your keywords do not exceed 200 characters
By way of example

Click on the Save Template button . To see your description in action you can either navigate to your blog's home page and click on view source in your browser or enter your blog url in gogle search and you will see same description as you have edited on Meta field .

How to Add Meta Tags to a Blogger Blogspot Blog Individual Post :
Even if you search for specific post title in google , you will still see same meta content even for that post link , so its better to add Meta for every post , but that may create havoc as there should not be so much Meta content . Best idea is to add Meta only to the most important or you can say killer posts in which you get the must traffic .
Follow similar manner as for adding meta tags to the Home Page just
Add the following in the <head> section of your Blogger template. Enter this code below the Home Page code above you have just entered:

<b:if cond='data:blog.url == "http://url of your post"'>
<meta content='keywords pertaining to your post' name='keywords'/>
<meta content='crafted description of your post' name='description'/>
</b:if>

Here is an example of optimized meta tags for this post:

<b:if cond='data:blog.url == "http://qwertyweb.blogspot.com/2009/10/what-exactly-is-do-follow.html"'>
<meta content='' name='keywords'/>

<meta content='' name='description'/>
</b:if>

Note:
Search engines no longer place too much emphasis on keywords but on title posts some still do so it is worth adding keywords. Avoid using the same or similar keyword as search engine may stop indexing site if considered as spam .The maximum number of keywords recommended is around 20 that matched blog content perfectly .
Ensure Maximum characters for Title Tag - 60 , Site Description - 150 , Keywords - 200

              Linux which is considered a difficult OS to handle , just because new users running linux cant find their favorite or used to programs at correct place ,thats because linux has many many alternatives with many many features than windows can possess and that too free ! Here is the tutorial which will help you in making windows programs run in Linux be it ubuntu or kubuntu or any linux OS :
             Its even possible to run ~~all~~ most of the Windows software from Linux native using Wine or one of the many virtualization tools such as VMWare.Mostly these six tools are famous Wine , VirtualBox , Qemu , Bochs , rdesktop , Xen and widely used .When switching from Windows to a more secured Linux operating system where there is no virus , just small bugs you may come up with many difficulties but with these tools you can run virtual PC on most of the Operating Systems especially the open source !

Check to see that the WINE program is installed . Check by typing the command locate wine [You should see a list of files with WINE]
Be sure you have properly mounted your Windows drive.
Edit the file /etc/wine.conf by changing the line under [Drive C] to read exactly: Path=/mnt/win
Save the edited wine.conf file and then make sure you also copy the file user.dat to your Windows directory c:/windows/profiles/
If you plan on running a game or other program that uses your midi then Linux midi-sequencer needs to be installed

This will run Windows Calculator on your Linux! You can run many such other programs by using similar commands, adjusting directory names and file names as needed.

Note: WINE is a very good simple emulator for free but it cant give exact replica or windows programs , like you wont be able to run Microsoft Office or gtalk .
For commercial software that allows this VMWare and Win4Lin is recommended.

How to Remove Passwords From Winrar

Post under Tutorials at 21:07 Posted by Mr Ga - hacobi1102

A Winrar file contains multiple files compressed into one so as to reduce the size and is done for ease of transport for sending attachments while emailing etc , check List of all File Compression softwares .These files can also be password protected so that no unauthorized person can access the archive's contents . Sometimes it happens that you may forget the password or you may want that zipped file to be made available public so that anyone can access it , so to get out of hassle , therefore its better that password needs to be removed.
You can do this by creating a new archive without a password .

Open the WinRAR and right click on the RAR file that has the password you want to remove.
Select "Extract Files" from the list of options.
Enter the RAR file's password in the window that appears and select "OK."
This will extract the archive's contents into a folder in the same directory that the RAR file is in.
Now right click on the New folder , ie the one which is newly created and select "Add to Archive."
This tells WinRAR that you want to take the files in the folder and place them in a new RAR file.
Select the "OK" option in the window that appears.
Now the files in the folder then will be added to a RAR file.
When WinRAR finishes creating the archive file, you can access it without password protection.

UPDATE:

The above post is useful only if you know the password and want to remove it , but if you dont know the password then its practically very very hard and almost next to impossible !
You'll need an archive password-cracking program and that doesnt come free

www.brothersoft.com/.../remove-win-rar-password.html
www.rarpasswordcracker.com
www.sharewareconnection.com/rar-password-recovery.htm

Here are above links , that may crack password of RAR file and help you ,
these doesn't come free , so you need to purchase these shareware !
Go to a website where you can download a program for breaking a password on a RAR file.
Download and install your archive password cracker.
Open this software and find your file.
Choose the option you prefer in the "type of attack" box.
The software will go through letter combinations, to find your password.

Note: It may take a hell lot of time !

Post under firefox, ip, Tutorials at 00:01 Posted by Mr Ga - hacobi1102

Many Social Networking sites are often blocked in colleges and offices like Blogger blogs, YouTube, Facebook , last.fm , hi5 ,bebo , linkedin , orkut ,tagged , myspace and other entertainment related sites , sometimes even gtalk , yahoo messenger , rediff bol messengers even Gmail , hotmail are blocked Blogspot blogs are banned in china etc
In case to Access Blocked Websites what we need is a method to Unblock Restricted Sites
Here are the tricks you can tweak to make yourself anonymous and surf with fullest privacy

Use a URL redirection service like co.cc or bit.ly but still even url redirection sites may be blocked
Enter the URL in Google or Yahoo search and then visit the cached copy of the page. To retrieve the page more quickly from Google's cache, click "Cached Text Only" while the browser is loading the page from cache , but this might work only if that restricted site is indexed by search engine , there may be a case where even google , bing or yahoo may be blocked !
Use a proxy sites like hidemyass.com , one of anonymizer websites that will fetch the blocked web page from their servers and display them to you , but proxy sites are sure-shot blocked by the admin
You can access blocked or restricted websites by using translation services like Yahoo Babelfish or Google Translate language tools as a proxy server hoping they are not blocked

These might work , but if you are geek then you can try the FoxyProxy Addon

FoxyProxy is a free, open-source, advanced proxy management tool that helps you in proxying your browsing experience through Firefox. It surpasses the limitations of Firefox's inherent one and gives you quite a wide scope to browse.

What you need is to install Firefox browser and an addon , better is to download it in pendrive and then install in the pc where even the firefox site be not be accessible !
FoxyProxy automatically switches an internet connection across one or more proxy servers based on URL patterns. In other words, it automates the manual process of editing Firefox's Connection Settings dialog box.

Foxy Proxy Tools :
Animated icons- It show you when a proxy is in use.
Advanced logging- It shows you which proxies were used and when.
QuickAdd- Makes it a snap to create new URL patterns on-the-fly.
Language Tool- It can be translated into more than 25 languages.

Foxy Proxy Features :

Animated statusbar/toolbar icons show you when a proxy is in use .You can define multiple proxies.
Define which proxy to use (or none!) for arbitrary URLs
Better support for PAC files than Firefox itself (The proxy auto-config file defines how web browsers and other user agents can automatically choose the appropriate proxy server (access method) for fetching a given URL. A PAC file contains a JavaScript function FindProxyForURL(url, host))
Foxyproxy is compatible with portable Firefox too.

Other Important Aspects
1. Foxy Proxy Doesn't Anonymize You
Any proxy service hides our ip-address to show a new one to others. But that is not the case. Only Proxy severs do so. And FoxyProxy isn't that. Your ip will be shown while you are browsing the web.
2. FoxyProxy is not a Tor
3. Easily Secure Your Privacy through FoxyProxy

If you are using a proxy for complete privacy and anonymity, there are two recommended ways to use FoxyProxy so this privacy and anonymity is maintained:

Use FoxyProxy in dedicated (non-patterns) mode; i.e., "Use Proxy XXX for all URLs". This is indicated by the blue FoxyProxy icon in the statusbar and toolbar.
Use FoxyProxy in patterns mode but change the settings for the default proxy from using your direct internet connection to a bogus (i.e., non-existent) proxy such as localhost:55555. When a URL is reached which doesn't match a whitelisted pattern, the URL will attempt load through this non-existent proxy. The attempt will time out and fail. In this way, you can still leverage patterns but not compromise privacy and anonymity.

Protect Your Privacy from perpetration of Google through Foxy-proxy
Google, the best search engine, whom you trust the most has a very dark side of it. Google places a cookie inside your desktop that keeps all the searching activity of yours in their records! Thus a third party may come to know everything you have ever searched for !

Download FoxyProxy and restart Firefox when you are prompted after installation.
Open the FoxyProxy options window by going to, Tools > FoxyProxy > More > Options in the browser menu or just see the right bottom .

In the FoxyProxy options window you will see a Default proxy which is your direct internet connection. You can add your own custom proxy by clicking on the “Add New Proxy” button.

Give your proxy a name by filling in the “Proxy Name” field.
Next, go to the “Proxy Details” tab and select “Manual Proxy Configuration” where you can add a proxy IP address / host name and port number.
There are numerous websites that offer free list of ports and proxies like http://aliveproxy.com/proxy-list-port-8080/

Now you will see all restricted sites only if you put the proxy of the place where the site is not blocked !

To verify ,If you put proxy of china , blogspot blogs would not open
and
if you put proxy of usa than you can easily sign up Pandora as it is blocked in other countries including india .

FoxyProxy is one of ma favorite addon and is very featureful and useful Proxy management tool. And it easily beats the likes of SwitchProxy, ProxyButton, QuickProxy, xyzproxy, ProxyTex, and TorButton any given day.

Download Google Chrome OS

Post under Chrome, google, Tutorials at 05:28 Posted by Mr Ga - hacobi1102

Google has done it again, after many acquisitions and removal of beta and making it full fetched out of beta products like gmail , now its the another THING which would almost kill most of its product competitors, and this time its the Google Chrome OS, also called as the Chromium OS.
Here is tutorial to Download Google Chrome OS and how to configure it

First of all don’t expect its going to be more efficient like windows 7 , its almost like linux . The current version to boot your computer with this OS like Windows is running it on a Virtual Machine on your computer. Which means that this would use addition PC resources in order to run because the normal OS would also run in the background. The OS needs you to login to a Google Account but dont use your main account , use a temporary one because it can have many problems .

Starting with VirtualBox :

Download the 200Mb torrent file which comes in the .BZ2 format and then extract in on your computer using programs like this ones .

Once extracted the total setup file is a Chrome OS Image vmdk file of 712mb size.

Next download Virtual Box [another alternative VMware Player ] based on your PC configuration which is a free software useful for running a virual machine on your computer.
Install Virtual Box , Next you will be asked to register for a Sun Online Account ,
Sign up !
Its free as Virtual Box is a service from Sun.

Next, once the installation is completed you will find a screen like the following one.
Click on New > Next > and follow the On screen options.
You will be asked to give a name for the Virtual Machine , give it any name.
Then you will be asked to set how much RAM you would like to allot from your total physical RAM, though by default there would be a number given to you which you can proceed.

Next you will be asked to create a Virtual Hard Disk in which you have a option to create a new Hard Drive for booting up or else use existing Hard Drive.
Now select the 2nd option and then click on the Home Folder option you find in it. [If you have one more hard disc then 1st option ]
You will get a popup on your screen called as Virtual Media Manager, click on Add .
Then browse the file you had earlier downloaded from the torrent website and select it

Recheck if you had selected the option of Use existing hard disk.
Click on Next & Finish

At last on the main screen you need to click on the Start Button which will start running the Chrome OS and it will take few minutes to start up !

In order to continue you need to login with your Google Account
It is lightweight , Do try to install if you are a google fan or if you have nothing better to do !

Google chrome OS looks features

Note : This is not self bootable operating system , For Mac users use VMware Fusion

How Auto Adjust Images Size In Blogger Posts

Post under Blogger Tutorial, Tutorials at 03:33 Posted by Mr Ga - hacobi1102

How Auto Adjust Images Size In Blogger Posts,yes friends many of us would be daily posting some images in there blogger posts or would have photo blogs and would be tired of giving the width and height to there post images again and again to adjust and look good in there blogs.And dont they think when they will switch to new template the width and height assigned to images in post can create problems for them.And many of blogs would be facing problems if they post images with width longer than post section and image would overlap the sidebar and if not overlapping then only part of the image in post section will be visible rest part hidden.So i will be telling you on how to auto adjust images size in blogger posts to suit your blog needs.

Now Please look at the pictures carefully to know what i am exactly talking about.

Suppose you have post section of width 500px and you post a picture of width 800px in the post without defining any width and height to it.Note if you uploading through blogger editor it automatically define width and height to image so will never face error in that.

The image would appear in post like below two methods.

1) As image width was 800px,Image width get shortened and will show up in post upto 500 px and rest 300px will be hidden.

2) Full Image is shown but overlap the sidebar.

But the proper way the image should be shown in blogger post should be like below.

So to make it correct i am making you learn this css property for your blog,if you are facing any of these problems.

As say you have an blog and want to show images of width equal to post section i.e you have post section of width 500px and you want to show images to autoadjust to that size in your post.For doing that just go to blogger Layout >> Edit/Html and add the below codes before ]]> tag :-

.post img {
max-width:500px;
max-height:500px;
min-width:200px;
min-height:200px;
padding : 10px;
clear: both;
}

Just adjust the properties min-width,min-height and max-width and max-height.As after using above codes now in your post the image width and height will never get less than 200px and not more than 500px.So image size will always lie between 200-500px.If image size is less than 200px it will auto adjust to 200px and if more than 500px it will autoadjust to 500px.

Now if you wanna use all images in your posts of same height and width i.e mostly used by all photo blogs to show of all the images of same sizes.You can use below codes.

.post img {
width:500px;
height:400px;
padding:10px;
}

Now all the images of any size in post will appear to auto adjust to size of width 500px and height 400px.

**Note:- If not working properly , there might be image property defined in your template,just find for it and check it.Find for .post img tag to check it.
