Take Screenshot In Windows Without Any Software

Today I'm sharing a very basic, but a very useful trick with you all. Most of us bloggers have a screenshot software on their devices, but they're just a waste of space as you can easily shot your screen with one click! Here's how to do it:


Press PrntScr key and Windows captures the entire screen and copies it to its clipboard. Now start “Paint” or any other software where you can paste an image. Hold CTRL and press V and Windows pastes the screenshot, which is in the clipboard, into your document. Now just save your image!

How To Use PHP On Blogger

We love Blogger, probably because it's free and is a Google Product. In April, I posted an article about some reasons why we should choose Blogger as our blogging platform, as I never miss a chance to promote my old articles.

As I noted in that article, Blogger is not a really good choice for a php developer, as it only supports html, css and javascript. However, there is a possible way to use your php files on Blogger, which is quite easy.

First we need a php hosting to host our php files. There are tons of free sites for php hosting, here are some:
awardspace.com
zymic.com
000webhost.com
Click here for more...

So just create an account on one of these free php hosting sites, and upload your php files in it. Now it's type to put your php files into your blog by iframing it or by using this code:

<object data="http://your-file.php" height="500" type="text/html" width="600"></object>

Now just replace red text in above code with your php file's link and publish it or post it on your blog.

That's the only possible way to do this... :)

Picasa Storage Limits


All Google +, Picasa, and Blogger users uses Picasa as their primary image storage. Now we can upload virtually all photos to our accounts without going over the storage limits. Same stands for videos 15 minutes or under. Please keep in mind the following account limits:

  • Maximum photo size: Each image can be no larger than 20 megabytes and are restricted to 50 megapixels or less.
  • Maximum video size: Each video uploaded can be no larger than 1GB in size and 12 minutes in length.
  • Maximum number of web albums: 20,000
  • Maximum number of photos and videos per web album: 1,000
  • Total storage space: Picasa Web provides 1 GB for photos and videos. Files under certain sizes don't count towards this limit. If you're a Google+ user, photos up to 2048 x 2048 pixels won't eat up your storage space. For non-Google+ users, the photo size limit is smaller: 800 x 800 pixels.

Hope this information will help you in future.

Styling Tables With CSS


Styling dinner tables in not so easy unlike HTML tables. Using CSS to style a table is easy, and greatly simplifies the markup. Seriously, for the first time it looks a bit hard, but it's just too easy. At times it seems that tables are a little misunderstood in modern web development. A have one suggestion for you, "don't use tables" "don't use tables for layout."

Anyways, Before we dive into the CSS, let’s consider the key structural elements of tables you will need to style clearly:

  • Table headings
  • Table data cells
Here is our basic HTML mark-up:

<table>
<tbody>

<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Nickname</th>
<th>Finisher</th>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>John Cena</td>
<td>The Champ</td>
<td>Attitude Adjustment</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>CM Punk</td>
<td>Best In The World</td>
<td>Go To Sleep</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>The Undertaker</td>
<td>Dead Man</td>
<td>Tombstomb Piledriver</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Shawn Michaels</td>
<td>HBK</td>
<td>Sweet Chin Music</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Edge</td>
<td>Rated R Superstar</td>
<td>Spear</td>
</tr>

</tbody>
</table>

Without CSS, it will something like this:

Name Nickname Finisher
John Cena The Champ Attitude Adjustment
CM Punk Best In The World Go To Sleep
The Undertaker Dead Man Tombstomb Piledriver
Shawn Michaels HBK Sweet Chin Music
Edge Rated R Superstar Spear

The first decision is how wide to make the table. The browser default is the same as setting table { width: auto; }, which results in the table extending to the width of the content. Our tables are going to be 500px. Here is first design:

Name Nickname Finisher
John Cena The Champ Attitude Adjustment
CM Punk Best In The World Go To Sleep
The Undertaker Dead Man Tombstomb Piledriver
Shawn Michaels HBK Sweet Chin Music
Edge Rated R Superstar Spear

Above style is very simple and stylish. Our table has black background with 500px width, td has 5px padding, here is full CSS of above table:

table {
    background:black;
    width:500px;
}

td {
    padding:5px;
}

th {
    background:grey;
    color:white;
}

tr {
    background:whitesmoke;
}

It was simple... :) Now it's time for second style:

Name Nickname Finisher
John Cena The Champ Attitude Adjustment
CM Punk Best In The World Go To Sleep
The Undertaker Dead Man Tombstomb Piledriver
Shawn Michaels HBK Sweet Chin Music
Edge Rated R Superstar Spear

The simplest way to accomplish zebra stripes is to add a class to alternate table rows, then use a contextual CSS selector to style the cells in those rows. First, the classes "odd" and "even" are added to the table rows, like so:

  ...

<tr class="odd">

  ...

<tr class="even">

  ...
But wait, Beben Koben shared a great way (in comments) to style even/odd elements without changing our mark-up. We're going to use :nth-child(even) and :nth-child(odd) to style them:

Here is full CSS of this table:

table{
    width:500px;
    border:2px black solid;
}

td {
    padding:5px;
}

th {
    background:grey;
    color:white;
}

table tr:nth-child(even) {
    background-color: whitesmoke;
}

table tr:nth-child(odd) {
    background-color: lightgrey;
}

It's time for our final table, which is not created by me. It's from W3Schools. Here we go:

Name Nickname Finisher
John Cena The Champ Attitude Adjustment
CM Punk Best In The World Go To Sleep
The Undertaker Dead Man Tombstomb Piledriver
Shawn Michaels HBK Sweet Chin Music
Edge Rated R Superstar Spear
It looks awesome, isn't it? W3 Schools chose some great colors to create this table. Here is our CSS:

table{
    background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
    border: 1px solid rgb(195, 195, 195);
    border-collapse: collapse;
    width: 500px;
}

th {
    background-color: rgb(229, 238, 204);
    border: 1px solid rgb(195, 195, 195);
    padding: 3px;
    vertical-align: top;
    text-align: left;
    font: 14px/20px Arial,Verdana;
}

td {
    border: 1px solid rgb(195, 195, 195);
    padding: 3px;
    vertical-align: top;
}

That's it for this time...hope it was helpful :) And I just realized that thumbnail of this article is not featuring our second table (Fixed IT). Also, just wanted to inform you that I used WWE related names and all in table because I'm a huge fan.

10 Stylish CSS Blockquotes For Blogger


Blockquote element defines "a section [within a document] that is quoted from another source". Earlier today, I spent several hours to find and create these 10 stylish blockquotes. Some are created by me and rest are from bunch of sites. Demo and download of this project is available at this link.

How To Add Blockquote Styling On Your Blog:

Before I post styling, you should know how to replace these stylish blockquotes with your template's default one.

Go To Blogger > Template > Edit HTML > Search for following code:

.post blockquote

 or

.post-body blockquote
Now replace whole CSS with our custom styles, you can find them in next heading. Here is an example of your template's default blockquote:

.post blockquote {
 Some CSS HERE
}

Remove Attribution Widget From Blogger Mobile Template


In our last post, we discussed how to remove attribution widget from blogger. In this post, we'll discuss how to remove attribution widget from blogger mobile template.

In previous post, we showed you how to remove attribution widget from your blog but that widget can still be viewed by visiting your mobile template (If you're using). After searching on Google for hours i found nothing about this topic, so i invented my own way to do this.

In last trick, we removed this widget, now we'll hide'em. Without wasting any time, let's get started:

  • Go To Blogger > Template > Edit HTML > Proceed
  • Find and remove following code from your template:

<b:widget id='Attribution1' locked='true' title='' type='Attribution'/>

  • Find </body> in your template and just above it paste following code:

<div style='display:none;'>
<b:section class='hiddenbar' id='hiddenbar' preferred='no'>
<b:widget id='Attribution1' locked='true' mobile='no' title='' type='Attribution'/>
</b:section>
</div>

  • Save your template, it's done.

Let me explain this, instead of removing attribution widget, we hid this widget with css. If you only add mobile='no' property in your attribution, instead of this code, it'll only remove this widget from your mobile template. If you're copying this tutorial, then don't forget to give us a backlink on your post. Also, don't forget to leave a comment.

Remove Attribution Widget From Blogger

Display Your Feed On A HTML Page


About every blogger now is using feedburner to publish their feed. By using feedburner, you can get realtime stats and subscriber count. You can even use a custom domain with feedburner. You can display your feedburner feed on Blogger with a simple feed widget but you can't use that widget on your html site. Don't worry, you can still display your feed on a static html or your website by using BuzzBoost. Here we go:

Go To FeedBurner > Click on your feed:


Click on the "Publicize" tab, and then click on "BuzzBoost" in the list at the left side of the screen (see image below). At this point BuzzBoost will give you a number of different options. Choose your preference and click on "Active" button. If you’ve already activated BuzzBoost you’ll see the option to save instead of activate.


Once you choose your settings and activate BuzzBoost you will be provided with the piece of code. Copy the code provided by FeedBurner and paste it into your page wherever you want it to be displayed. You're completely free to use my feeds on your blog:

<script src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/WidgetCraft?format=sigpro" type="text/javascript" ></script><noscript><p>Subscribe to RSS headline updates from: <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/WidgetCraft"></a><br/>Powered by FeedBurner</p> </noscript>

It's done, you can also style this code by using some css:

.feedTitle {
background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% whitesmoke;
padding: 10px;
text-align: center;
font-size: 20px;
font-weight: bold;
border: 1px solid rgb(81, 104, 59);
}
.feedburnerFeedBlock ul {
margin-left:0;
padding-left:0;
list-style-type: none;
}

.feedburnerFeedBlock ul li {
padding: 5px;
border-bottom-width: 1px;
border-bottom-style: solid;
border-bottom-color: #E0E0E0;
}

.feedburnerFeedBlock ul li span.headline a {
color: #990000;
text-decoration: none;
display: block;
}

.feedburnerFeedBlock ul li span.headline a:hover {
color: #535353;
}

#creditfooter {
display: none;
}

Sending HTML Emails From Gmail


Gmail is more than just an ordinary email service. It's the most used email service all over internet which provides you lots of services and it's easy to use

Just like other services Rich Text Editor is most advanced mail editor but the fact is that we can't send HTML emails with it but in this post we're going to find a solution of this problem.So the question is how to send HTML emails with Gmail and after doing some research i found that it's not that hard of complicated all you need is HTML knowledge.

For this we just need a WYSIWYG HTML editor just like Blogger provides so you can use Blogger's post editor for this. So now what we have to do is just create our HTML Email in Blogger post editor or any other WYSIWYG HTML editor , you can also use this editor by clicking here.

Now create your full Email in that editor and after creating press CTRL+A to select all content you created on that editor and copy it by pressing CTRL+C and now all we have to do is just go to Gmail and click on Compose Email (In new interfere) and paste all content by pressing CTRL+V and send it to your friends or any one you want.

I know it was easy if you got some basic HTML knowledge.

Styling A Select Box Using CSS3

I often use select box in my html documents and i was wondering if i could style them with CSS3 and i searched it on google and found out. So today i'am gonna teach you how to style html select box :

Here is our simple select box/list :



This is the HTML code:

<select>
<option> Everything </option>
<option> Widgets </option>
<option> Tutorial </option>
<option> CSS3 </option>
<option> jQuery </option>
</select>

Very simple , basic and boring. There are certain elements of a select box that we can style such as the font, border, color, padding and background color:



But that annoying drop down arrow always stays the same. There is no direct way to do style it, but the workaround is pretty simple.

First we need to surround our select box element with a div container like this:

<div class="styled-select">
<select>
<option> Everything </option>
<option> Widgets </option>
<option> Tutorial </option>
<option> CSS3 </option>
<option> jQuery </option>
</select>
</div>

Now we'll add some CSS in it :

<style>
.styled-select {
width: 228px;
height: 34px;
overflow: hidden;
background: url(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_JRz-bgAc-hcLVTK4jrgxxU5Vns_75MO_7pJ27Rcr3H2hHftuOzsxi4jeLTeb6jpZ_ZrY5x98VuwX2rvalWy7GbqrqfK3Ww475TgzfqsE3-qOJDljwGMa6oOxu1NnR2v1QV0O-YkUqQM/s1600/Select.png) no-repeat ;
border-radius: 10px;
}
.styled-select select {
background: transparent;
width: 228px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #CCC;
font-size: 16px;
height: 34px;
font-weight: bold;
outline:0px;
-webkit-appearance: none;
border-radius: 10px;
}
.styled-select option {
background: lightgrey;
width: 228px;

How To Track Google Adsense Payment Check


Most of bloggers including me use Google Adsense to monetize their blog and earn some cash for their good work , Once your monthly earning reached to $100, Google sends the money through check on your name. Sometimes it takes a bit longer to received your check but it's not a matter if worrying because i'am gonna tell you how to track your Adsense payment check.
  • Just log in to your Adsense account
  • Enter 'my account payment history'
  • Click on the detail link of your payment
  • You can now see all of your account history payment and even the last month.
  • If you can see 'Payment Issued' then it’s on the way.
  • Note down 'Payment Number'
Here is an example of your payment statement :

According to above model of payment statement 063333333 is our Payment Number and now it's time to track it :
  • Now “Select the shipment type” and “Enter your tracking number” that you have noted before.
  • Choose Ref No. and enter your payment number after removing first '0' from it and press Go.
You can track your payment 4-5days after it was issued from Google. It took 15days for me too track my first payment so be patient and try to track daily because some times it took a little bit.

Here is an example of what you'll find after entering your Payment No.:



Tracking Payment With Waybill Number :

You can also track your payment with your Waybill number, You'll receive your waybill number after approx 15days.All Indian payments comes from Hyderabad so it takes i little bit time.

Reason for Adsense Payment Delay :

There may be many reasons why your adsense payment has been delayed. The main reason could be wrong address. In that case bluedart immediately return the check to Google. It does happen if you are receiving your first adsense check. If it happens with you, then you can Request for reissue adsense check payment. You have to wait for at list 2 weeks to get your earning credited back on your account.

I would suggest you to use bluedart location finder to find whether their service is available in your area or not. So that you can easily contact them before they return your check to Google.
