How to Enable Read More in Blogger and How to Use Image in place of Text

Without using the read more feature available in blogger your blogger home page might be too lengthy because full post articles will be displayed. Depending on your home page posts settings, it could be lengthy or way too lengthy.

Some third party blogger templates have the read more feature by default. This means that you do not need to bother yourself about the read more feature because these templates will automatically apply breaks to your posts and display only a few number of lines. Your site visitor must now click read more to read the full article; if he finds it from the home page.

Have You Chosen the right Smartphone?

Posted by GKE In , , | 0 comments»

Choosing the right smartphone can be tricky. A very common mistake is to guide our choice by adds, friends or comments we've heard, but the truth is that each person is different, we have diverse necessities, and so the type of smartphone we choose must be related to our needs and behavior. For example, the type of smartphone a business owner needs is very different from the one a student should choose. Here are some tips to find out if your choice what the correct one and, in case it's not, you know which one is your type:

Smartphone Operating System







First, start with picking an operating system that fits your work or other needs such as Windows, Android, Blackberry or iOS. This is important to do before picking out the type of phone you want. Also make sure that it complies with your mobile carrier. For example, if you're a business owner you'll do better with an iOS (Apple) than with a Blackberry which has a more simpler operating system.




Smartphone Brand

Next choose the brand you want based on your available budget. Also, some smartphones guarantee a great service during two or three years, whereas some other models have a great performance during the first year but then have a fast decay. For example, Blackberries are very durable and quite popular even in the second hand market and free classifieds sites; Android phones have a shorter life although they have an outstanding performance during the first year. Also keep in mind that many brands operate with one or a limited amount of carrier companies, so watch out which models get the best coverage for you. After this you can move on to the specific features of each different phone.

Smartphone Specs

RAM, or the amount of storage space and memory smartphones have, is an important factor in your choice. This could be the difference between wanting a phone with simpler features or a smartphone with HD video capabilities and storage. This also could determine whether or not you want a phone for taking high quality pictures and other media usage. It also depends on the amount and size of applications you plan to have on your phone; if you plan to have a lot of them and don't want your phone to give you trouble look for one with a larger RAM (for example iPhone). Anyway, it's always useful to check out smartphone comparison sites so you know about every feature.

Screen Size

The size of the smartphone and its screen is important as well. While looking at the phone, be sure to view it from different angles in different shades of light to really determine its quality. Smartphones with larger screens are great for media but less portable; decide what you will use the phone for before you purchase one. Also consider possible incidents. For example if your phone has a touch screen and falls, it will crack completely and it will be costly to change; if you decide to get a Blackberry you won't have this problem since it has a regular keyboard (or at least partially)

Applications

Lastly decide what apps are the most fun to play around with! Smartphones offer thousands of apps to make your life easier and/or more fun. So before you pick the brand and operating system, find which ones have the games or devices you like in order to get the most out of your smartphone. Some app stores have certain apps which are free and others are a bit more expensive.






Choosing the right smartphone is not an easy task and it's not surprising that a lot of users think they have chosen the wrong device although it has been recommended by many experts. So consider what your needs are and see what each brand has to offer before you go and put your money on the wrong deal

Run Virus Infected Programs or visit any untrusted site using Sandboxie

If you are a Windows operating system user then you will definitely come across virus infected programs from time to time. You will come across them more often if you make lots of downloads and also if you like to try out new programs(epecially the free ones).
You would also come across them if you have to crack a program using keygen or patches which are widely available on the internet.
I download programs a lot and I also like to try out and discover new and rare programs. Many times, I also have to get the crack of some program because I don't want to buy the product serial key/activation key ;-)

Aero Shake: How It Works and How to Disable It

Posted by GKE In , , , | 1 comments»
The Aero Shake is a Windows 7 feature that I did not even know of in a long time. To know about what Aero Shake is, grab a window in your Windows 7 and shake it, all other windows will be minimized. That's a cool feature right?
It's very useful while you are multitasking. You have a couple of windows open and it gets to a point where you need to have only one window active; you can put the Windows Aero Shake feature to use instead of minimizing all other windows, then bringing up the one you want.

How to Use Your Blogger Account to Host Images Without publishing

Posted by GKE In , , , | 0 comments»
If you are a blogger and you use the blogger platform for publishing your web logs, you might need to host images at times for use on other sites or just to keep them there.
The reason why it is good to host your images to your own blogger account is simply that if you link from an external source, you don't know when the image might go down. Anything could happen and your image is not there again.
I discovered this technique when I tried to use social sharing icons on my sidebar for the first time. I did not want to link it from an external url so I created a new post put the pictures there but I did not publish the post;

My Secret way of downloading from any website

I'm proud to give you this tip or short tutorial. It's a really cool thing if you know ways of going around things.

Searching for information in Google is not only about typing in keywords.

There are also advanced search strings that can get you advanced results like the one I'm giving our now. I have used this to get many softwares out there that are supposed to be for sale. One cool thing about this where for-sale softwares are concerned is that I discovered that most of these softwares are overpriced.

How To delete a folder or file that won't delete

Sometimes due to errors on your computer hard drive, some files or folders might refuse to be deleted no matter what technique you try to use in deleting them. Sometimes I had to download file deleting softwares but they could not solve the problem.




Unlocker is a utility program for bypassing restrictions on files in Windows. For one reason or the other, Windows just decides to make some files "un-deletable"

The software is a very easy to use one. It integrates with explorer so you only need to right click on the stubborn file or folder and click on Unlocker as shown below.

To delete any software or folder:
Right-click on any file or file that is not deleting and select unlock from the explorer option menu then you can choose delete file from the displayed options.
