Adding RSS / ATOM feed icon to Blogger / Blogspot

While reading the logs of people coming to my website, I found out that some came from Google, searching for how to add RSS feed icon to their blogspot blog. This is probably due to my previous post.

Though I’ve not been using blogspot as my blogging platform for quite a long time already, I’ll just create a short howto here on to do just that.

From your blog’s admin panel, go to Settings -> Template. From there click on the "Add a Page Element" link, and select "Text" from the selections.

On the editor that pops out, fill up the title, and for the content, click "Edit HTML" and add this lines to the text area:


<a href="http://yourblog.blogspot.com/rss.xml">
<img src="http://www.any-website.com/rss-icon.jpg">Any text
</a>


You can change http://yourblog.blogspot.com/rss.xml to http://yourblog.blogspot.com/atom.xml, whichever that you prefer, and http://www.any-website.com/rss-icon.jpg is a URL to any RSS icon in the net that you prefer (or upload your own)

I hope this helps

TEST POST 2

MIANZHU, China (AFP) - China scrambled on Wednesday to provide shelter and prevent disease among five million people made homeless by last week's earthquake, as the number of dead and missing climbed above 74,000.
ADVERTISEMENT

With hope virtually extinguished of finding more survivors amid the rubble of the devastated towns and villages across mountainous Sichuan province, soldiers and relief workers focused on the desperate plight of those displaced.

Nine days after the 8.0-magnitude quake, the government said the confirmed number of people killed had risen to 41,353. But with another 32,666 confirmed still missing, the death toll is likely to soar.

Stopping disease outbreaks among the five million people displaced in the disaster has become a top concern, and China's health ministry has sent more than 3,500 specialists in epidemic control to Sichuan.

Doctors in the region were also ordered to test all quake survivors who needed medical treatment for a potentially deadly bacterial infection, known as gas gangrene , that has led to 30 people having amputations.

There have been no reports of a major outbreak, but gangrene patients have been isolated to stop infections from spreading.

Authorities across the quake zones are working frantically to ensure people have access to clean water, a must to avoid potentially deadly epidemics of diseases such as cholera and diarrhoea.

"We don't have anything. We don't know where we're going to find money to rebuild our village," said Ma Jingsuan, 52, who was one of 7,000 people seeking refuge among a sea of blue tents on the fringes of Sichuan's Mianzhu city.

"We're entirely dependent on the government."

Premier Wen Jiabao has ordered 900,000 tents to be sent to the disaster area over the next month, and up to one million makeshift structures by August.

Across many cities in Sichuan, bulldozers were levelling ground to set up camps, according to AFP reporters there.

On the outskirts of Dujiangyan, a city where hundreds of people were killed, crews raced to slap together semi-permanent homes for 4,000 to 5,000 people on a muddy area the size of about three football fields.

The goal was to finish in three days, one survivor there said.

The stench of death hung over ravaged mountain towns. In Hanwang, the only signs of life were of the few survivors who came to collect their belongings.

China has faced some criticism for not allowing in specialist search and rescue teams from overseas immediately after the quake, and then only allowing in small contingents from a few countries.

However, China has been more open in the campaign to look after the displaced, and plane loads of aid from countries as diverse as Ukraine, Russia, the United States and Singapore have landed in southwest China.

That international effort was ramping up, after China appealed on Tuesday for tents and other supplies from within China and overseas.

Saudi Arabia has sent more than 85,000 tents and 500,000 blankets, on top of a cash donation of 50 million dollars, China's state-run press reported.

The German Red Cross was also sending over a mobile hospital capable of accommodating 120 patients, which state press said would be the first facility of its kind contributed by any country.

A Japanese medical team of more than 20 doctors, nurses and other experts also left on Tuesday for China to help victims.

On Tuesday, 60-year-old Wang Youqun, who survived on rain water, was rescued nearly 200 hours after being buried under a collapsed temple.

She was the last person to have been hauled out of the rubble alive.

China began an unprecedented three-day period of mourning on Monday that has seen many entertainment venues across the country closed and state-controlled television suspend normal broadcasts to focus fully on the recovery effort.

As in the previous two days, thousands of people gathered Wednesday at Tiananmen Square, the nation's political heart in Beijing, to chant messages of support for victims of the tragedy.

Meanwhile, Tibet's government-in-exile called for a temporary halt to protests around the world against China's rule of the Himalayan region out of respect for the quake victims.

TEST POST 1

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Hillary Rodham Clinton cast her victory in Kentucky as an overwhelming vote of confidence Tuesday and said she's still running for president not to demonstrate that she's tough but to ensure that Democrats retake the White House.
ADVERTISEMENT

"This continues to be a tough fight, and I have fought it the only way I know how — with determination, by never giving up and never giving in," Clinton told supporters in Kentucky. Oregon also voted Tuesday, though, and Barack Obama won there, giving him a majority of the delegates elected in all 56 primaries and caucuses combined.

Clinton said she has pressed on in the race "not because I've wanted to demonstrate my toughness, but because I believe passionately that for the sake of our country, the Democrats must take back the White House and end Republican rule. ... That's why I'm still running and that's why you're still voting."

In her lopsided Kentucky victory, Clinton defeated Obama among voters of all age groups and incomes, the college-educated and non-college-educated, self-described liberals, moderates and conservatives, according to interviews with voters. Obama did far better in Oregon, where a majority of voters called themselves liberal. He was winning nearly six in 10 whites, and he and Clinton were were evenly dividing the votes of working-class whites.

With just two weeks and three contests left in the primary season, it is doubtful that Clinton can close the delegate gap with Obama. While she has collected a number of wins in late primaries, Obama keeps gaining on her in the all-important race for convention delegates.

But the former first lady maintains that she still sees a path to victory by winning over the party leaders and elected officials known as superdelegates, whose support will be needed for either candidate to be clinch the nomination.

"Neither Senator Obama nor I will have reached that magic number when the voting ends on June 3," she said. "And so, our party will have a tough choice to make — who's ready to lead our party at the top of our ticket, who is ready to defeat Senator McCain in the swing states and among swing voters."

The New York senator hopes a resounding win like Tuesday's victory in Kentucky will help convince superdelegates that she is more viable as a general election candidate. It has become increasingly difficult argument to make, however, and Obama has slowly begun to play the role of the inevitable rival to Republican John McCain.

Obama and McCain have largely ignored Clinton in recent days as they clashed over foreign policy, and Obama's campaign schedule is starting to include more stops in general election battleground states.

Clinton has argued that if the results of disputed primaries in Michigan and Florida are counted, she leads Obama in the popular vote. Clinton won both contests but the results were voided because the votes took place in January in violation of Democratic Party rules. The Democratic National Committee's rules committee meets May 31 to consider its options on the Michigan and Florida delegations. Clinton has said both should be seated at the convention in August.

While campaigning in Kentucky and Oregon over the past several days, Clinton has been increasingly forceful in making her pitch to include the disputed results. She was expected to turn up the volume on Wednesday during several appearances in south Florida, and her campaign chairman, Terry McAuliffe, said she was likely to travel to Michigan to do the same there.

Her husband, the former president, said at a campaign stop in Louisville on Tuesday that voiding the Michigan and Florida primary votes "violates our values and is dumb politics."

CREATE 3 COLUMN BLOGGER TEMPLATE


Article taken from: BloggerBuster

In this tutorial, I'll explain how to create a three column template in
Blogger layouts, using the Minima template as a starting point.

The Minima template is the easiest Blogger
template to customise, as this is the simplest two column template, and
has few parameters regarding margins, padding and the like. Once you
have developed the third column, it will then be easier to alter
font-size, colours and such so leave this until later on. We're going
to concentrate on the actual layout first.

First of all, set your template to Minima (not the stretch template, but any colour will do!), then follow these instructions:


  1. Go to Template&gt;Edit HTML, leaving the "Expand widget templates" box unchecked.
  2. Now, find this section in the HTML code:
    #sidebar-wrapper {
    width: 220px;
    float: right;
    word-wrap: break-word; /* fix for long text breaking sidebar float in IE */
    overflow: hidden; /* fix for long non-text content breaking IE sidebar float */
    }

    Copy this entire section, and paste it directly below. We're going to
    change the elements I've highlighted in red to the following:
    #left-sidebar-wrapper (this makes the css for this section unique)
    float: left (this will make the new sidebar float to the left of the main column)

    This will provide the styling for the new sidebar element which we will create next.
  3. Now, you need to find this section further down the page:
    &lt;div id='main-wrapper'&gt;
    .
    Immedietly before this section, you should paste the following piece of code:
    &lt;div id='left-sidebar-wrapper'&gt;
    &lt;b:section class='sidebar' id='left-sidebar' preferred='yes'/&gt;
    &lt;/div&amp;gt;

    Let me explain the elements of this code to help you understand what we've just done:

    • &lt;div id='left-sidebar-wrapper'&gt; This
      section tells the browser that the left-sidebar element exists here,
      and to look in the css for the appropriate styling for this element.
    • &lt;b:section class='sidebar' id='left-sidebar' preferred='yes'&gt;
      This tells the browser the class of the sidebar element and all other
      elements (widgets) which may be included in this section. The ID of
      this element must be "left-sidebar" in order to make it unique,
      otherwie this would cause problems when viewing. It is preferred so
      that it will feature in the layout, even if no widgets are placed
      within it.

  4. If you preview your template, you will notice that the right
    sidebar will be beneath the main section at the moment. This is because
    the outer-wrapper is still only wide enough to accomodate one sidebar.
    So now we need to expand the oputer wrapper to accomodate this new
    sidebar.
    Find this section in the HTML code:
    /* Outer-Wrapper
    ----------------------------------------------- */
    #outer-wrapper {
    width: 660px;
    margin:0 auto;
    padding:10px;
    text-align:left;
    font: $bodyfont;
    }
    We
    need to increase the width of the wrapper by the width of the
    left-sidebar-wrapper, in this case 220px. So, change the value in red
    to 880px.
  5. You may also want to change the width of the header-wrapper to 880px so that it spans the new width of your blog:
    #header-wrapper {
    width:880px;
    margin:0 auto 10px;
    border:1px solid $bordercolor;
    }
  6. At this point, you should save your template. At present, your new
    sidebar will not be seen as there are no widgets contained within it,
    though it will still be present in the markup of the page. Once you
    have saved your template, go to Template&gt;Page elements in your
    Blogger dashboard.
  7. Your layouts section should now look something like this:


    You can now add a page element (or two) to your new left sidebar.
  8. But we aren't quite finished yet! If you add anything to this left
    sidebar, you will probably notice that it jams right up to the main
    section, like this:
    This
    is because there is no space defined between the left-sidebar and the
    main section. We need to create this space in the template's HTML.
    To do this, we will add a margin to the left hand side of the main
    posts section. Find the following code in your template's HTML and add
    the code defined in red:
    #main-wrapper {
    width: 410px;
    float: left;
    margin-left: 20px;
    word-wrap: break-word; /* fix for long text breaking sidebar float in IE */
    overflow: hidden; /* fix for long non-text content breaking IE sidebar float */
    }
    This
    defines a margin space of 20px between the left-sidebar and the main
    column. You should also ensure you adjust thw width of the
    outer-wrapper from 880px to 900px to ensure the width of your blog is
    enough to accomodate this margin too. Either that, or you could reduce
    the width of your main column/a sidebar by 20px to serve the same
    purpose. Now, your previewed template should look more like this:

  9. Finally, save your template and enjoy your new sidebar!

The
same principles described here can help you create a three column
template from any Blogger template, though you may find that you'll
need to adjust the width, margins and padding for your new sidebar in
order for it to look the way you would like.

Also, you can
configure your new sidebar to float to the right, and have two sidebars
on the right of the main column if you prefer. Simply set the CSS of
your new sidebar to float: right; instead.

Here is a download of
the three column Minima template for reference (or if you prefer to use
a preconfigured template instead!):

Social networking is a phenomena defined by linking people to each other in some way.

Social networking is the grouping of individuals into specific
groups, like small rural communities or a neighborhood subdivision...
if you will. Although social networking is possible in person,
especially in schools or in the workplace, it is most popular online.
This is because unlike most high schools, colleges, or workplaces, the
internet is filled with millions of individuals who are looking to meet
other internet users and develop friendships and business
relationships, too.

When it comes to online social networking, websites are
commonly used. These websites are known as social sites. Social
networking websites function like an online community of internet
users. Depending on the website in question, many of these online
community members share a common interest such as hobbies, religion, or
politics. Once you are granted access to a social networking website
you can begin to socialize. This socialization may include reading the
profile pages of other members and possibly even contacting them.

First, let's figure out the term social bookmarking. Social
bookmarking refers to the practice of saving and categorizing a
particular site and sharing it with others via social bookmarking
communities. Users can share their own personal Web bookmarks, but they
also have the quite wonderful option of discovering other people’s
bookmarks and adding them to their own collection. More sites can be
discovered, more treasures unearthed, if you work together as a whole
instead of by yourself; it’s truly amazing what people are able to turn
up together on the Web.

There are many things on the internet that are growing in popularity.
However, the most common talked thing on the internet now is social
networking sites. This includes sites like Facebook, MySpace, and of
course, YouTube. These are places where people go to talk with friends
and have an overall good time. One great thing about these sites is the
fact that they have so many users on them, and they keep growing
everyday.

It's for this fact that a lot of people like to use these kinds of
social networking sites to advertise their business. However, there are
a few things that you have to be aware of before you do something like
that. A lot of these social networking sites take active measurements
against people advertising on their sites. Its easy to get your account
canceled if you don't follow these rules.

Just because some of
these social networking sites do not like you to advertise on them,
does not mean that no social networking sites like you to. There are
some other networking sites like Yuwie that do not have a problem with
you advertising. Thus, you ca go there and support your business to
millions of users. Of course, keep in mind that these new sites that do
not mind advertising are not as big as Facebook and MySpace.

Terminology


Here are some common terms used in the social networking world:


Add: Noun and verb used on social networking sites around being added as a friend. For example: “Thanks for the add.”


Avatar: Graphical representation of a user in a virtual world.


Facebooking: Any act of using features on Facebook.


Fakesters: Fictional profiles created on Friendster by users. Fakesters can be anything from celebrities to cities to inanimate objects.


Orkuteiros: Brazilian Orkut aficionados. Orkut is a social network owned by Google that later became popular in Brazil and India.


Profile pimping: Customizing MySpace profiles with designs and widgets that reflect a user’s personal style.


Scraps: Public messages left on an Orkut user’s profile by other members.


Widgets: Mini-applications or HTML code that people can embed onto social networking pages.
