Well, there are two ways to install StatCounter in Drupal. You may follow either method, but if you ask me, I’d recommend the first method.

1. Using StatCounter module:

   Just install the StatCounter Module (http://drupal.org/project/statcounter) and activate it. Then under ‘Site configuration‘ find StatCounter. Configure it according to your wish and insert your StatCounter code there.

   Now from the ‘Site building‘ => ‘Blocks‘, just drag the StatCounter block to somewhere (preferably the footer) of your choice.

2. By Create a custom block:

   Drupal provides a powerful block architecture that allows modules to create their own blocks or users to define a custom block. You can create a custom block for StatCounter tracking code by following the steps below:

   1. Goto admin => build  => block via the administration area.
   2. Click “Add block” at the top center of the page.
   3. Enter something like “StatCounter” for the description and paste the StatCounter tracking code in the body section.
   4. Now press “Save block.“
   5. Locate the block in the list and set the “Region” combo to where you would like to display the code, most likely “footer.”

   Optionally you can set the scope in which the block will be displayed, but it can be more easily set using the StatCounter Module.

That’s it, so simple isn’t it? Have any difficulties still? Please comment and let us know.

Well here are the two interfaces. For the better experience, press F11 key on your keyboard right now, before going to the YouTube site. By doing, so you’re making your browser go full-screen.

1. Leanback
   It’s a great interface, that begins playing videos automatically in full screen. Videos play in non-ending fashion (when one video ends, the next one starts). You can use your keyboard to navigate through and search and explore other videos. Keyboard keys used are: up, down , right, left arrow keys and Enter key.
2. XL
   A similar interface to the leanback, it gives more control to the user. At the same time it does lose some of the glossiness and style you would get in the former mode.

These interfaces are more what you may call as prototypes intended for use, when Google TV will be eventually launched. You will need to login to your Google/YouTube account to use the above features.

Bonus Tip: For people with slower connections, you might try using YouTube Feather beta. It provides a faster interface than the normal YouTube site.

To remove this type of files from your computer do the following steps:-

1. Click start and then run.
2. Type cmd to open up the command prompt.
3. Change your directory to any on off your directory by using syntax driveletter: For example d:
4. Then type the command attrib in the prompt it display the list of executable files in the current directory.
5. Check whether autorun.inf file is present or not.
6. If not then you are lucky.
7. If present then you have to follow all the following steps to remove that file.
8. First you have to remove the power it is having for ex read only conception etc…
9. The attribute depends on viruses.
10. One common step to remove all its properties is type the following command in the command prompt:- attrib -s -h -r autorun.inf
11. -s to remove its system attribute, -h to remove its hidden attribute and -r to remove the read only attribute.
12. You can use this steps to remove any of the files which has this properties.
13. Remember before doing the above steps you have to remove all the viruses form your computer. I recommend avast home edition which is free and 100% perfect. If you haven’t clean the viruses first clean it because after you delete this file it will automatically creates it without your knowledge.
14. Then type the following command:- del autorun.inf.
15. Now you have successfully deleted the file after you deleted the file restart your computer or remove your pendrive and plug it again.

This is how we can remove the viruses that you might have accidentally downloaded through internet or pen drives.

Here is the step by step procedure to turn on this feature-

1. Log into your Gmail inbox.
2. Go to Settings -> Labs and scroll down a bit to locate the “Location in Signature” feature.
3. Check the Enable radio button to enable this feature and click on save changes.

4.  Now go to Settings -> General and go to the signature settings. Check Append your location

That’s it. Now your signature will always contain your current location. As this feature uses your IP address, guess you must have understood how exactly this feature works. It tracks the location of your IP and appends the Same location as your “location signature” and hence, as said earlier, your localization may depart slightly.

That said, see to it that you do not share your location with someone you may not trust, beware!

So to install JDK, you’d first need to download the installer to your PC. To do that:

• Go to the Oracle SDN’s Java downloads page.
• Click on the appropriate package you want to download. If you’re a beginner, you’d want to download the basic package (see image below). 

Just click on the JDK link.

• In the new page that loads, select your appropriate Operating System and click on the red download button. You will be prompted to sign-in or register. You could do so if interested. If not just click on the close sign (on the top-right of the box).
• You will now be redirected to a page, and your download should start automatically.
• After the file has downloaded (its an executable), double-click on the file to begin installation. Continue on like a normal installation. There will be a download taking place at the 4th window, and may take some time on computers with slower internet connection.
• When the “Complete” screen appears, click on the “Finish” button.

Thats it, you’re good to go!

• Enter a valid email address and click on Send button.
• You will receive a confirmation email with a link to product registration page.
• Once you complete the above step, you will be sent another email containing the product key for Snap 3.

So enjoy then!

For getting to our point lets take a look at how a linux system works. Linux works in a multi-user environment, where users are given privileges of different magnitude for different purposes. A typical user would have normal privileges, simple enough to help him use the system but not change major system settings.

To spread a virus around you’ll have to gain access to the core of a linux system and for that you’ll need to have root access.

Linux is centered around security and gaining root access is nearly impossible. But, as they say, impossible is nothing. Viruses for linux are on the rise. One of the major reasons is due to the fact that linux is being spread and marketed at quite a fast rate.

To accommodate novice users, GUI’s are being integrated. And this is one of the causes of rise in viruses. How? The following is a quote from a foobar blog post:

Then you save an email attachment under Linux, the execute flag is normally NOT set and thus, the file can’t be executed just by clicking on it. So, no luck?

Not so fast. Modern desktop environments, such as Gnome and KDE, conveniently offer a nice “workaround” called ‘launchers’. Those are small files that describe how something should be started. Just a few lines that specify the name, the icon that should be displayed and the actual command to execute. Conveniently, the syntax of those launcher files is the same for Gnome and KDE. And those launchers don’t have to have any execute permissions set on them! Desktop environments treat those files as a special case, so when you click on them Gnome or KDE will happily execute the command that was specified within the launcher description and without the need for the execute bit to be set on the launcher itself. Now we are getting somewhere!

But don’t jump the gun yet. Most of the linux distros are still way safer than Windows systems. The reason being that as they are open source and have full disclosure, developers are quick to release patches/fixes.

Will he go rouge? (from pillateunlinux.wordpress.com)

Also the reason why Linux viruses are rare, is because of the simple fact that the world has too much Windows Users. So if a hacker could write a code and hack (for eg.) 60% of the world’s computers (as they are Windows-based systems) instead of only a handful of Linux computers, what would he choose?

Your thoughts…

Well the first way is to download the files and upload it via a FTP software and the other one is the automatic, easier and recommended method.

So first of all, before doing either of the methods, back-up (by downloading) your database(s) and your .htaccess file. Now select either one (ONLY one) method from below. I do recommend the second method.

Upgrading Via FTP

• After performing the back-up mentioned in the previous paragraph, go and download the latest version of WordPress. You can do so from here.
• Login to your wordpress dashboard and deactivate all your plugins. IMPORTANT.
• Delete all files except the ones mentioned below:
  • wp-config.php file;
  • wp-content folder; Special Exception: the wp-content/cache and the wp-content/plugins/widgets folders should be deleted.
  • wp-images folder;
  • wp-includes/languages/ folder–if you are using a language file do not delete that folder;
  • .htaccess file–if you have added custom rules to your .htaccess, do not delete it;
  • robots.txt file–if your blog lives in the root of your site (ie. the blog is the site) and you have created such a file, do not delete it.
• Now upload the previously downloaded wordpress package to the directory (or root, wherever) you had your wordpress blog.
• Now go to the upgrade page of your blog. You can access it by pointing it to wp-admin/upgrade.php page of your blog, and follow the on-screen guide. Eg.: http://example.com/blog/wp-admin/upgrade.php
• Now install any plugins or reactivate the older ones you want.
• Thats it your done!

Upgrading Automatically

This is way easier than the previous method and also recommended one.

• Login to your WordPress dasboard.
• In the Tools menu, select Upgrade option.
  Alternatively, you can just click on the ‘WordPress x.x is available! Please Update Now‘ link in the yellow shade above on the dashboard to access the upgrade page.
• In the new page that opened, click on the Upgrade Automatically button.
• After you click on the button, some messages will follow,with the last one being WordPress upgraded successfully.
  
• Thats it, enjoy the new edition of WordPress!

Now that wordpress has been released you might also want to read on how to enable the Multi-User capability or Network mode, as it is called now. You can do so by viewing this article : How to Enable Network Mode in WordPress 3.0 beta 1

Tried it out yet?

So how do you do it? Here’s a new service called PasswordCard, which allows you to print out a credit-card sized image of sequences of letters and symbols like the one below:

PasswordCard

So how do you get a password from this?

Your PasswordCard has a unique grid of random letters and digits on it. The rows have different colors, and the columns different symbols. All you do is remember a combination of a symbol and a color, and then read the letters and digits from there. It couldn’t be simpler!

You can optionally include an area that has only digits which you can use for PIN’s, and you can also choose to include symbols if you use sites which require your passwords to include them. Remember that you can still use the digits-only area for regular passwords, for any site which allows numbers in its passwords!

In case your PasswordCard gets lost you can generate a new, same card be supplying the 16-digit number that was generated along with your card the first time.

A few pointers from the site are:

• Don’t read along with your finger, or the smudge will tell a thief where your password is.
• Keep your PasswordCard on your person, don’t leave it lying around near your computer.
• Clear your browser cache and history after printing the page.

So go on and print your self a secure PasswordCard now. Click here to visit the site.

Well you must be knowing 2 if not 3 of the below methods already. The third option is a method commonly used by many bloggers, however there are still seasoned bloggers who don’t know about it.

Here are the three methods we will be taking a look at:

1. Upload Via FTP
2. Search and install via your blog’s plugins page
3. Install using One Click Plugin Updater plugin

Upload Via FTP

The most common and recommended method is to download your plugin and then upload it to your server via a FTP client like FileZilla.

In this process you find the plugin you want to install to your blog, download it to your computer and then upload it via the FTP software to your plugins directory/folder of your web-host (which is situated in the wp-content folder). Alternatively you could use an online File Manager provided from your web-hosting provider.

Plugins folder (as seen in FileZilla)

Search and install via your blog’s plugins page

This method works only for installation of plugins that are hosted on WordPress’s Plugin Directory. There are thousands of plugins hosted here so there may not be a need for you to go searching elsewhere.

So the first step here is to search for a suitable plugin in the directory. Alternatively you can search for the plugin via the Add New page in the Plugins section of your WordPress dashboard (yourdomain.com/wp-admin/plugin-install.php).

Search for the plugin

Once you press the Search Plugin button, the WordPress software searches for matches and presents a list to you.

Search results for the plugin

In this case the first result is the one we were targeting. So just click Install to the right of the result. Now a lightbox-type pop-up should open up. Click on install once again.

Now the plugin will be automatically downloaded and installed for you. When the page refreshes just search for the Activate Plugin link and click on it. Now your plugin is activated and you are ready to go!

Install using One Click Plugin Updater plugin

Well using the previous method, you could install plugins without using a FTP client. But the one condition was that you could only install plugins that were hosted on WordPress’s Plugin Directory.

To overcome this drawback, here is a plugin called One Click Plugin Updater. Firstly, use any of the above two methods to install this plugin. Now when you activate it you’ll get an option called Install a Plugin in your Plugins menu.

Search for the plugin you want to install. Now get the download link (by right-clicking and selecting ‘Copy Link Location’ or something similar), go to the Install a Plugin page and insert it into the top-most text-box, titled URL. Select the type as Plugin and click on Install.

Installing the plugin using One Click Plugin Updater

Thats it now, when the page refreshes just click on the Activate Plugin and I guess you can take over from there. You can also upload a plugin, which you might have earlier downloaded and stored away on your PC.

Interestingly the One Click Plugin Updater also allows you to install themes, without using a FTP software. Its similar to installing a Plugin, only change the type option to Theme.

So how did you find this article. Know about more ways to install a plugin? Please do share it with us.

Well the first way would be simply to cut it using a knife or a sharp pair of scissors. This of course requires you to have a steady pair of hands or the results could be dangerous. If you would like to do this, just follow the article over here.

A more better way would be to to use a new tool, quite appropriately, called the Cut My Sim. Its basically a SIM cutter which is semi-automated. You just insert your SIM, press the lever and your ready to go.

Cut My SIM - Sim cutter

This stainless steel tool does not only allow you to convert your SIM into a MicroSIM but can also convert the MicroSIM into a standard sized SIM.

The device costs $25 or €19.95 as of now and will be shipped for free, if pre-ordered. To pre-order the device click here.

For further details check out its official site.

You can view the video tutorial here. For an image only tutorial follow on below. You can get the code’s shown in the video from below:

OK. So the installation goes as this:

• First login to your blogger account and under the blog in which you want to implement the related posts, click onLayout. Next click on Edit HTML.
• Now check the Expand Widget Templates check-box (as shown below). This check-box is found on the top-right of the box containing your template’s code. 
• Now press Ctrl+F to bring about your ‘Find Box’ in your browser, and search for the following code.

  </head>

  Now replace it with the following code (Code Listing 1.1):

  <!--Related Posts Scripts and Styles Start-->
   <!--Remove--><b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
  <style type="text/css">

  </style>
  
  <script type='text/javascript'>
  var relatedpoststitle="Related Posts";
  </script>
  <script src='http://blogergadgets.googlecode.com/files/related-posts-for-blogger.js' type='text/javascript'/>
  
  <!--Remove--></b:if>
  <!--Related Posts Scripts and Styles End-->
  </head>

  To change how title of the related posts widget appears, edit the text in green. To change the green tick-mark appearing beside your related posts edit the url marked in blue.

• Now search for

  <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'>

  or

  <p class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'>

  and immediately after any of these lines(whichever you could find) place the code below (Code Listing 1.2):

  <!-- Related Posts Code Start-->
  
  <!--Remove--><b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
  <div id='related-posts'>
  <b:loop values='data:post.labels' var='label'>
  
  <b:if cond='data:label.isLast != &quot;true&quot;'>
  </b:if>
  <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
  
  <script expr:src='&quot;/feeds/posts/default/-/&quot; + data:label.name + &quot;?alt=json-in-script&amp;callback=related_results_labels&amp;max-results=6&quot;' type='text/javascript'/></b:if></b:loop><a href='http://www.bloggerplugins.org/2009/08/related-posts-for-blogger-widget.html'><img style="border: 0" alt="Related Posts Widget for Blogger" src="http://image.bloggerplugins.org/blogger-widgets.png" /></a>

  removeRelatedDuplicates(); printRelatedLabels(&quot;<data:post.url/>&quot;);
  </script>
  </div>
  
  <!--Remove--></b:if>
  <!-- Related Posts Code End-->

  You can change the number of related posts to be displayed by editing the number in pink.

• To show related posts on all pages, just delete the text in red from both of the code listings.

Thats it, your done! Have any troubles? Comment, I’m right here to help!

Actually the method is quite simple. If your theme includes a direct jQuery call from the header.php (usually will be written like

<script type=’text/javascript’ src=’http://domain-name.tld/wp-includes/js/jqueryjquery.min.js?ver=2.9.2′></script>

or something similar) just delete the line.

If your theme designer had adopted efficient programming practices, he would have used the wp_enqueue_script() function. It can be identified by going to your Theme Functions (functions.php) file of your theme.

Now to include the script from Google`s Ajax Libraries API servers, just insert the following code into the Theme Functions (functions.php) file of your theme:

// smart jquery inclusion
if (!is_admin()) {
wp_deregister_script(‘jquery’);
wp_register_script(‘jquery’, (“http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js”), false);
wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery’);
}

Once done, save the file and your done. To check if the change has occurred, load your blog’s home page (or any other page for that matter). Now press Ctrl+Shift+R to force refresh the page.

Now take a look at the page source (Ctrl+U or View => Source). If the following line appears, you have successfully included this hack into your wordpress blog:

<script type=’text/javascript’ src=’http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js?ver=2.9.2′></script>

The advantage of this hack is that your page loading times will get faster and in lieu better!

Well there are two ways here. One is the software way and the other is the command prompt way. Yeah cmd does look a little intimidating but just here me out. Once you complete the following steps, you’ll see how easy it really is.

1. So first you’ll have to go to Start => Run or Start+R.
2. Now just type the following
   

   shutdown.exe -s -t 20

Thats it! But don’t press OK or Enter yet. There’s some explanation to be done with.

So the command that you’ve entered here is shutdown.exe -s -t 20. Lets break it down now.

• shutdown.exe : Quite self explanatory. The program which shut’s down your computer.
• -s : Called as an argument, it says to shutdown the computer. Similarly if you would replace it with -r, the computer would have restarted -l would have logged of the computer.
• -t : Again an argument. It functions as a timer. The number succeeding it is the number of seconds the computer must wait before shutting down. So 20 here says the computer to shut-down after 20 seconds.

You could change the time. Suppose you want the computer to shutdown after 15 minutes, just enter the period in seconds. 15×60 = 900.

Animation showing the computer shutdown process.

Trick: Although this is not needed, this step can add a cool message to your shutdown window. Just add a -c “comment” to the earlier command. You can replace comment with anything you like. eg:

shutdown.exe -s -t 900 -c “This shutdown has been inititaed bby Richie – the greatest hacker!”

You’ll get a cool message like this:

Shutdown with Comment

You could use the following table for your reference as to which arguments to use:
