Fix: Wrong Description and Image on sharing posts to Facebook


When you share a post on Facebook, it will display a thumbnail picked from the post page along with a short description of the post. But in many cases Facebook fails to  identify the correct image and description that it should use. This leads to irrelevant images and description coming up in Facebook when you or your readers share the post. This is totally annoying, and I had got many queries regarding this on my Facebook page and via email. So for those who are trying to figure a way out of this, here is the solution.

Add descriptions to Label Gadget


This was a query that I got over email and I when I saw her implement it on her blog, it looked cool and I thought this might be useful for others as well. This won’t look that great with Blogger’s Label Cloud. So this trick is only for those who use the list view in the Label Gadget. To do this, you will have to modify your Label Gadget with some custom code. You will have to add a small code snippet for each label of yours.
This is how the Gadget will look like after applying the code changes
Add descriptions to Blogger Label Gadget

Country Specific BlogSpot URLs



Blogger has started using Country Specific URLs and some of you might have already noticed it. The change has been rolled out in India.If you are from India try visiting any BlogSpot URL and you will be redirected to the country code Top Level Domain (ccTLD). For example if you visit any page on http://bloggerindraft.blogspot.com from India , you will be redirected to the country specific page on http://bloggerindraft.blogspot.in . Similarly if you visit any other ccTLDs  from India, you will be redirected to the Indian TLD.

Download Pre-Installed VirtualBox Image of Android 4 Ice Cream Sandwich and Run it on Intel Windows 7 PC


This post shows where to download VirtualBox pre installed image of Android 4.0.1 Ice cream sandwich and run it onWindows 7 PC. I’m not sure how it is going to help you if you are a heavy Android user, but definitely it will give a new experience by having it on normal PC. Instead of updating your mobile device OS to new version, this method helps to play around with 4.0.1 on computer.
This pre installed image of Android 4.0.1 works well inside VirtualBox to explore new OS without any additional devices. Running a mobile phone (or tablet) operating system in a normal computer by using desktop virtualization software is really cool.
Even though there are few ISO files available to download and do the installation on PC, but I feel it is better to run with pre-installed image. If you are interested to download x86 Android 4 bootable ISO files and start the installation from scratch, you can download them from Android x86 project home here.

Steps to Run Android Ice Cream Pre Installed Image on VirtualBox
1) Download the VDI (image) file here. (The image created and uploaded by an unknown Japanese person. It is not having any virus.)
2) Create a new virtual machine in VirtualBox. Select the OS type ‘Linux’ and version ‘Linux 2.6’.

blogger page navigation

Page Navigation is a really awesome and long awaited feature. You might have seen numbered page navigation on many wordpress blogs(wp-pagenavi by Lester Chan). Muhammad Rias of Techie Blogger had already developed a page navigation system for blogger.It really was an awesome trick which was made at a time when nobody could even think of implementing it on blogger.It had some minor bugs and now Abu Farhan has perfected it and he has now given us the perfect page navigation solution.Here is a little screenshot of what this is all about.

Remove Blogger Nav bar Completely

Blogger has got a default Navigation Bar. This navigation bar is hidden in most of the third party templates. Instead of hiding the nav bar using CSS, we can completely remove it.

Grid Layout For the Popular Posts Widget


How does the Gadget Look like after tweaking it?

imageimage
So Here are the Steps to make your Popular Posts Widget act like an Image Grid

A few days back, I published the JavaScript version  of the Recent Posts widget, and I loved the Grid Layout of the Widget. One of the most popular Widgets used by Bloggers is Blogger’s Official Popular Post Widget. So I decided to edit the gadget, and give it the Grid Style.

Recent Posts Widget with Thumbnails





At least some of you would be familiar with My "Recent Posts with Thumbnails" Gadget for Blogger. I had got so many complaints that the Gadget fails to load or has some issues. So I decided to make a Widget version of the same.

Why the other Gadget fails at times?

The other gadget is made using the Gadget API. The API renders the gadget as an iFrame with all the parameters appended to the iFrame URL. When the iFrame url becomes too big, browsers have issues rendering the gadget. This primary reason behind this is that the API appends so many style parameters to the iFrame URL thereby making it pretty lengthy.The current page url is also a parameter.That is why some people complain that it is working on the home page, whereas it doesn't work on some of the post pages. The reason is that your home page url is shorter in length than your post page url. So it is almost impossible to make the gadget error free.
