Future features in Blogger

The draft.blogger.com is seems like the beta version of new features of blogger.com . And we can try the "to be added" gadgets and features of blogger on "draft". And I think it is a good thing for both of us. You can visit their blog on bloggerindraft.blogspot.com and try the future features of blogger. I have tried some of them and they are really good. Blog List - a blogroll to your blog's sidebar Scheduled Post Publishing - schedule the post to appear on your blog Feed Subscription - Help your readers subscribe Search Box - Search over your blog and more The last feature in here the Search box is the best thing I have experienced among the others. It is a AJAX control and works really good and I hope you all (the bloggers) will love to try them up.

I signed up for a site called PPP (pay per post) and seem they are really nice for bloggers to earn money.

Replace new line with <br> tag

  Most of the multi line text areas we are using the user can input text by using line breaks. If that text used for internal purpose saving it as a single string may not be a problem.   But what's if we have to show that on a web page (forums, user comments, etc). We have to replace the new line character with the <br> tag. The famous way is to replace chr(13) with the <br> tag by using the Java Script. But the problem is this method is not working fine with every platform. But I have found a way to come up with and thought to share it with you.   function escapeVal(textarea,replaceWith) { textarea . value = escape (textarea . value)          for (i = 0 ; i < textarea . value . length; i ++ ) { if (textarea . value . indexOf( "%0D%0A" ) > - 1 ) {     textarea . value = textarea . value . replace( "%0D%0A" ,replaceWith) } else if (textarea . value . indexOf( "%0A" ) > - 1 ) {    

Good bye Netscape Navigator!!!

I have seen " Official support for all Netscape client products ended on March 1st, 2008. Please see the announcement for more details. " on top of the Netscape browser website. On their announcement they say to download the Mozilla Firefox web browser and seem they support on it. I think the main reason behind this is huge drop of popularity on their browser. But anyway if you are interested on the Netscape Communications Corporation (now under AOL) and their activities and the history just click on the links below. browser.netscape.com netscape.aol.com wikipedia.org/wiki/Netscape (web browser) wikipedia.org/wiki/Netscape Communications Corporation

Blog readability level

TV Reviews My blog got a "Genius" level on readability.

Anyway I think to write my future postings in a simple way. Hope you will help me to do a better job on that.

What is Flock?

Flock is a web browser that makes easy to use community activities on the internet like facebook, flickr and also it supports on viewing emails (on Gmail and yahoo) an many more. It is true that now the internet users are using more functionality on internet 2; so it supports most of them. Flock itself says it as a "social web browser" so I downloaded it and used for a couple of days. The main thing on Flock web browser is you can download to for free. It seems very easy to use facebook through Flock and also it is pretty easy to use flickr (image share on yahoo). To view official Flock site click here . If there is anything that you think to share with us regarding Flock web browser you are welcome.

(RED) – helping to eliminate AIDS in Africa

What is called (RED) TM ? Sounds like an emergency but it is a brand created to raise the awareness and money for a Global Fund to treat the people who suffer AIDS in Africa. How actually this happens? You can find more details on it from http://www.joinred.com . Basically what happens is RED establishes partnership with private companies to promote their products under RED and partners send a portion of their profit to that Global fund. Normally the products under RED are also colored in red (I think it reminds the user about what he has done to the society). Here are some of the partners on RED, American Express (UK only) Gap Motorola Emporio Armani Apple Converse Hallmark Dell Microsoft The products under RED are not cost more to the customer. I think this is what needs to do for help people in Africa (who suffer AIDS). And also I think it is like a red light on our lives when thinking about AIDS. Anyway I do not have an experience with an (product) RED so I hope you will sha

Mahalo – A Search Engine

Mahalo is a search engine which is powered by human. They say that the articles listed on their search results are well organized, comprehensive and spam free. Their basic idea is to get the web pages listed on the user preferences on particular search. They will analyze the web pages and organize them manually (I am not sure). I think this is a better way to get really valuable content. If there is no results for the search term that you have entered they will show the search results by Google,yahoo and some more on tabs, the most valuable thing is you can send them a good link for that also by just creating a free account. Basically they will not list every page that you are sending because they have an editorial process. And they will not list the spam sites, spam blogs, phishing sites, sites that do not have original content (a copy without permission), sites that have no origin and the sites that have adult content. And on the other hand they will list the sites which have origi
