Easiest Way to Add Google +1 Button to WordPress Blog Posts

June 2nd, 2011 No comments

Easiest means easiest! I am not going say to add a snippet of code to your PHP theme file or to add some code to WordPress blog posts that you write each time. It’s a permanent solution, but you need AddThis WordPress plugin for that :)

Currently it supports free file hosting sites like Rapidshare, Megaupload and zShare. Yesterday I installed it and checked with Megaupload and it worked just like it would in Firefox.

I don’t like to write any technical stuff here. I just try to share what I find amusing online or some blogging or webmaster stuffs in general.

April 14th, 2011 No comments

In February I wrote a post updating you about the implementation of Google’s high-quality sites algorithm that you call as Panda update :) . At that time it was rolled out only to Google.com users in the USA. A few days back Google has rolled it out for all users using Google search in English whether they are from English speaking countries or non-English speaking countries.

Directly Send Screenshot From Skype Without Storing Image Locally

April 13th, 2011 No comments

Today I discovered this cool feature in Skype. Generally, when you want to take a screenshot in Windows you use Print Screen button. It copies the image in clipboard and then you have to save it to some image editing software like MS-Paint. After that you can use it as you wish or send the image to someone. But if you are using Skype to send a screenshot to your contact, you can skip that saving image part. Just do a Print Screen and go to your Skype chat window. Do a CTRL+V or right click there and paste it. Skype will directly convert it to a PNG image from the clipboard and now you can send it to your buddy :)

How to Hide Your Facebook Friend List

April 7th, 2011 No comments

It’s pretty troublesome actually! I had to spend quite a few minutes to find this option out. Even Facebook Help page was not of much help. I went through it, but it was not clear. I had to make some Google searches and eventually I found it out. So I thought of sharing it with you if by chance you are trying to hide Facebook friends list from others, including your friends ;)
