Basic of Blogger Commenting System  

Posted by FRIS in

Although there may be a pretty defined set of winners in the fight to be crowned the best blogging system or platform, millions of people are still using the Blogger system, due to the fact that it is easy to use, has few limitations, and is completely free. Alternative services, such as hosted or self-hosted WordPress either come with limitations, have a high cost (learning curve and monetary), leaving many people sticking to what they started with, Blogger.

The Blogger commenting system is one section with severe limitations, as many of the popular plugins that can easily be installed within WordPress are not available for use with Blogger. However, there are a few proven methods, plugins, and workarounds that can address this problem, and in doing so, will lead to an increase in comments on your blog.


One of the first steps that you’ll want to do is make sure that everything in the backend of Blogger is setup. This step won’t take an enormous amount of time, but is something that should be done before you create each new blog or shortly there afterwards.

Make sure that you are logged into Blogger, then find the Settings » Comments page. You’ll notice quite a few options here for customizing the Blogger commenting system, many of which have just recently been added. While I cannot provide a solid method for enabling each option, due to your personal preferences, I will guide you through the process involved to receive the most comments on your blog.

The first option, found under Comments, is the ability to enable (Show) or disable (Hide) comments from appearing on your blog. This option should be set to Show, as other visitors to your blog will generally want to see reactions from other blog commentators.

Next, under Who Can Comment?, Anyone would be the best solution for bloggers who want to receive more comments, although spam comments would begin appearing, as anyone, even those not a member of your blog or with an OpenID/Google Account would be able to leave a comment.

A feature that many bloggers rejoiced over when introduced is the ability to change the Comment Form Placement. Ideally, much like in WordPress blogs, it should be placed beneath each post, with a link to leave a comment when on the main page, through the use of a permalink feature. The three options to choose from include: Full page (clicking on “leave a comment” will present you a new window to leave a comment in), Pop-up window, and Embedded below post (displaying comments beneath each post). Although there are some problems enabling the beneath-post feature [help link], as you may need to enter some code into the template file, it will surely attract new visitors to comment.

Further below, there is the option of displaying Comments (by default) For Posts. Simply put, this field just lets the Blogger system know to display the comments area when there aren’t any, until someone leaves a comment, at which point this area will be displayed anyway.

Backlinks, or links back to posts that you have written from other blogs, allow you to keep track of and “reward” people who have found your content interesting. Within this area, you can either show or hide backlinks depending on your personal preference, and the amount of “spam” sites linking to your content. A second option is whether new posts do/do not have backlinks. Similar to comments, this will place an empty filed on your blog if you enable new posts have backlinks.

Continuing on, the Comment Form Message may be the most beneficial addition to the Blogger system for quite some time. You can place nearly any type of HTML code here, either reminding visitors to subscribe or thanking them for the comment. It is a great addition to your blog, as you can provide a little incentive to readers for sharing their thoughts.

Comment Moderation is another huge issue within this particular system. When set to “Always,” people sometimes become frustrated that their comment did not appear, forcing them to leave a duplicate in some cases. In this case, you’ll want to either select Never or Only on posts older than __ days; unless of course, you receive hundreds of spam comments per day/week.

Word Verification, sometimes referred to as CAPTCHA, requires commentators to input a selection of scrambled letters or numbers in order to leave a comment. It does add an additional step to the comment process, forcing some people to leave your blog, as they completely despise them. However, it can be left as enabled (yes) without any major problems.

Finally, Profile Images help enhance the comment area, displaying what WordPress users call Gravatars. I don’t see any reason why you shouldn’t enable this feature – it adds a personal touch to each comment.

Comment Notification does not pertain to this article, it simply emails you a notification when new comments are written on your blog.

Great Browser from Google  

Posted by FRIS in ,

Google Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier. It has one box for everything: Type in the address bar and get suggestions for both search and web pages. Will give you thumbnails of your top sites; Access your favorite pages instantly with lightning speed from any new tab.

Google Chrome is an open source web browser developed by Google. Its software architecture was engineered from scratch (using components from other open source software including WebKit and Mozilla Firefox) to cater for the changing needs of users and acknowledging that today most web sites aren't web pages but web applications. Design goals include stability, speed, security and a clean, simple and efficient user interface.


Sandboxing
Every tab in Chrome is sandboxed, so that a tab can display contents of a web page and accept user input, but it will not be able to read the user's desktop or personal files. Google say they have "taken the existing process boundary- and made it into a jail". There is an exception to this rule; browser plugins such as Adobe Flash Player do not run within the boundaries of the tab jail, and so users will still be vulnerable to cross-browser exploits based on plugins, until plugins have been updated to work with the new Chrome security. Google has also developed a new phishing blacklist, which will be built into Chrome, as well as made available via a separate public API.
Privacy

Google announces a so-called incognito mode claiming that it "lets you browse the web in complete privacy because it doesn’t record any of your activity". No features of this, and no implications of the default mode with respect to Google's database are given.

Speed
Speed improvements are a primary design goal.

Multiprocessing
The Gears team were considering a multithreaded browser (noting that a problem with existing web browser implementations was that they are inherently single-threaded) and Chrome implemented this concept with a multiprocessing architecture. A separate process is allocated to each task (eg tabs, plugins), as is the case with modern operating systems. This prevents tasks from interfering with each other which is good for both security and stability; an attacker successfully gaining access to one application does not give them access to all and failure in one application results in a "Sad Tab" screen of death.


This strategy exacts a fixed per-process cost up front but results in less memory bloat overall as fragmentation is confined to each process and no longer results in further memory allocations. To complement this, Chrome will also feature a process manager which will allow the user to see how much memory and CPU each tab is using, as well as kill unresponsive tabs.

More Features
Chrome has added some commonly used plugin-specific features of other browsers into the default package, such as an Incognito tab mode, where no logs of the user activity are stored, and all cookies from the session are discarded. As a part of Chrome's V8 JavaScript virtual machine, pop-up JavaScript windows will not be shown by default, and will instead appear as a small bar at the bottom of the interface until the user wishes to display or hide the window.

Chrome will include support for web applications running alongside other local applications on the computer. Tabs can be put in a web-app mode, where the omnibar and controls will be hidden with the goal of allowing the user to use the web-app without the browser "in the way".

Rendering Engine
Chrome uses the WebKit rendering engine on advice from the Gears team because it is simple, memory efficient, useful on embedded devices and easy to learn for new developers.

Tabs
While all of the major tabbed web browsers (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox) have been designed with the window as the primary container, Chrome will put tabs first (similar to Opera). The most immediate way this will show is in the user interface: tabs will be at the top of the window, instead of below the controls, as in the other major tabbed browsers. In Chrome, each tab will be an individual process, and each will have its own browser controls and address bar (dubbed omnibox), a design that adds stability to the browser. If one tab fails only one process dies; the browser can still be used as normal with the exception of the dead tab.


Chrome will also implement a New Tab Page which shows the nine most visited pages in thumbnails, along with the most searched on sites, most recently bookmarked sites, and most recently closed tabs, upon opening a new tab, similar to Opera's "Speed Dial" page.
By the way, you can try this new browser by downloading at its site.

How to make your post with Peekabo view  

Posted by FRIS in

Your blog's main page usually shows the entire content of each post. If your posts are usually more than 2 paragraphs, then your visitor will find it difficult to quickly find the topic of interest to him because he needs to scroll down a lot. This is where expandable post summaries helped in the old Blogger. This hack serves the same purpose for the new Blogger and more! That is, main page will show only post summaries and when you click "Read more", the full post appears in the main page itself (Peekaboo view)!!


I got some requests to do such a hack and I managed to get it working. Later, Hans improved it by adding a "Summary only" link with which you can collapse the post back to summary. Together, we also made the "Read more" link to show up only for the posts that have a summary. This is an amazing hack but you need to be careful while changing your template. If you are not familiar with HTML, I strongly suggest you to get help from somebody who knows HTML while applying this hack. Here are the steps to follow.
