The Amazon Kindle is an e-book reader developed by Amazon.com subsidiary Lab126 which uses wireless connectivity to enable users to shop for, download, browse, and read e-books, newspapers, magazines, blogs, and other digital media.[1] The Kindle hardware devices use an E Ink electronic paper display that shows up to 16 shades of gray, minimizes power use and simulates reading on paper.

There have been several iterations of hardware devices for this platform, including a main Kindle line (first introduced 2007) and a Kindle DX line with a larger screen (introduced 2009). Devices with touch sensitive screens (Kindle Touch), and a reader with a color display (Kindle Fire) were announced in September 2011, along with a keyboardless low priced (Kindle) model. With the introduction of the 2011 Kindles the original Kindles are renamed Kindle Keyboard.

The Walt Disney Co. has used mobile games to promote its movies, but now it’s trying something new: launching a cuddly character in a game in the hope he makes it to the big screen someday.

The reptile, unlike his in-the-wild counterparts, lives under a big city and mostly hangs around in his bathtub, waiting for iPhone owners to dig a digital trench that allows water to flow into his poorly connected plumbing.

Does it makes our Angry Bird more Angry? ;)

5 Reasons You Should Host Your Office In the Cloud

2011-09-18T05:24:00.001-07:00

Perhaps you have been in circumstances that caused you to consider that maybe you might want to move your Office into the Cloud? A number of people have answered "yes" and gone on to go about doing it. Most folks never really consider it very seriously, just go on to something else... Most believe that it's a lot harder than it truly is, so that they never start. The aspect of perhaps being required to perform a little work puts others off. Others just consider it much too low a priority to be really worth bothering with.

Now just hang on here a moment! Are those really legitimate reasons? What consideration was given to the reasons for? Was there enough info on which to base a reasonable decision? The possible benefits do not seem to have been completely thought through...

Perhaps that would need a little bit more thought... Maybe we ought to take into account say, 5 reasons why maybe you should move your Office into the Cloud and work those into your decision process.

First of all, backup is not that big of a problem. Right, I can understand your objection that you want to hold the backup tapes in your hand and have 3 month of recovery, but online backup can do this as well. Actually much better than you can. That is most certainly an astute observation. However, consider this, most small businesses that buy and maintain their own servers never really have a good backup strategy. So the day when you really need to restore a 2 month old file, you find out that you backup tapes only hold 1 month of data. Even more, consider that online services e.g. Dropbox saves a history of all deleted and earlier versions of files for 30 days for all Dropbox accounts by default.

Second, if you are paranoid, you could always create a backup of the backup each day with services like iDrive, Mozy and many others. The reason that is true is that online backup is becoming quite normal and very cheap. That is why it really works out that, Cloud computing is the way to go, at least for entrepreneurs and small business owners.

Third, total cost of ownership in the Cloud is next to nothing compared to buying your own server. Additionally, you could risk theft, power outage and hardware failure when hosting your server in your own Office!

Fourth, you will get access from almost any device like Apple iPad, Samsung Galaxy, Smart phones, PC, Mac, Linux from anywhere in the world.

And lastly, you and your workers will be much more productive.

So just look at those points and examine them in your mind. All 5 reasons are persuasive points that explain why you might want to consider cloud computing.

Look them over again and consider every one of those points. Don't you think that perhaps, just perhaps, you really should move your Office into the Cloud?

Nowadays, Windows 8 is becoming the universal topic in the information technology world. The expected launching date of Windows 8 is not confirmed yet. However, it is rumored that 2013 will be the year of breakthrough. Microsoft is looking very keen to provide some revolutionary and wonderful features in this product.

Support for the PC Gaming:

The main emphasis of Microsoft is to obtain the market of small electronic equipment like smartphones and tablet computers.

Improved File System:

A new file system might be introduced in Windows 8 or Windows 8 alpha. Well, this is not confirmed yet. However, by looking at the past, it can be assumed that Microsoft will surely introduce the new file system.

Windows 8 Compatibility

2011-09-18T05:21:00.001-07:00

Microsoft had constantly innovated with its computer operating soft wares, which were developed to support the different programmers in PCs. It will not be incorrect to declare Microsoft as the pioneer of the computer support system which had kept thousands of computers functioning till to date. This explains the reason why Microsoft is developing a new window. Officially announced at CES, Microsoft is introducing a new window which is yet to be titled but rumors have named it as Windows 8, which will be one of the most awaited products of the year. Announce by the president of Microsoft, new Windows by this software's giant will be ARM processor compatible and also support SoC architecture. Windows 8 compatibility is designed in a way, which will redefine the use of Windows by avid users.

Microsoft has identified the gap in the market by analyzing that the famous PC tablets by Samsung and Apple did not provide the Windows operating system which could literally make their tablets as mini computers. Being customer-centric, Microsoft took an edge and planned to develop Windows 8, which it made sure was compatible with the 32-bit ARM processor (found in mobile phones and tablets). Not knowing the exact release date of Windows 8, speculators are assuming that the release year shall take Microsoft to the new heights in the field of software's programming. However, one cannot even title the upcoming Windows as Windows 8, since the name has not been announced yet. System following Windows 7, has been named automatically as Windows 8, and according to some, this particular Windows had started to develop soon after the launch of former. Windows 8 compatibility is well designed with Windows 7 where it can give a renewed computer experience to the user.

Windows 8 vs Windows 7

2011-09-18T05:20:00.000-07:00

Windows 8 OS is not too far away, we are few days away from its first look. It is information that comes from Microsoft BUILD conference where developers are introduced with new Windows 8 features. Some modifications include touch keyboard, device compatibility, Windows 8 app store, improvement in Internet Explorer 10, new task manager interface, cloud services in Windows Live, Refresh and reset buttons and many more. I have outlined Windows 8 main features which are not there in Windows 7 OS. We know that Windows 7 will give tight competition to Windows 8 but it is Windows 8 latest improvements that will going to affect Windows 7 performance.

Windows Boot performance
Few days back, we got a new feature of high booting capability of Windows 8 OS. According to this feature, Windows 8 fine tuning with start-up process will going to increase its popularity because many users want fast booting speed. Windows 8 uses solid state drive and unified extensible firmware interface that will optimize boot performance of OS. A new start mechanism that integrate cold boot resuming with hibernate mode, delivers drastic improved speed that reduces the desktop loading time.

Hibernation in Windows 8 uses a small portion of memory for maintaining 0 hibernation sessions that save state and memory contents to a file name (hiberfil.sys) and read the same file by restoring save contents back to main memory. Using this technique start performance of Windows 8 start boot are more optimized in comparison with Windows 7 OS. Thus, It is Windows 8 which is declared winner in terms of high booting speed.

Windows file system
Windows 8 provides strong file system support which cannot allow unauthorized users to make changes in Windows secure files. As it implements more security for file accessing. A new feature of "file name collisions will be there in Windows 8 so as to avoid redundancy of same file in system memory. Microsoft argued that resolving file collision requires tricky task which require meaningful choice between similar files. The options of file specification in Windows 8 OS are more advance which allow you to resolve file conflict easily.
Windows 8 developers had removed unnecessary labels and explanatory text which is less important. Only relevant information is added to file definition that reduces search work for users. In this way, Windows 8 file system has gone through many modifications. Thus, it is Windows 8 file system which is declared winner.

Windows cloud services
We know that Windows Live essential allows users to store data online in Windows 7 OS as well but with Windows 8 OS, you can store bundle of data in Windows Live and even provision is made, through which you can backup your data online. Yes, you heard right. Windows 8 will going to start a new online backup service in which your system data will backup online on server computer. You are provided with a username and password so that anytime you can see your restore data at any computer location. Windows 7 is lacking online data storage using cloud computing. So, here also Windows 8 will be declared winner.

Documents that have attached templates take a long time to open in Word 2002 and in Word 2003

2010-02-06T23:39:00.000-08:00

When you open a Microsoft Word Document (*.doc) file, the document may take longer then expected to open. For example, the document may take 5 to 10 minutes to open.
Back to the top
CAUSE
This symptom may occur if the document has a template attached or linked and one of the following conditions is true: The attached template, its folder, or its share is missing.
The attached template has been moved.
The attached template has been renamed.
The attached template, its folder, or its share is missing.
The attached template has been moved.
The attached template has been renamed.
When a Word template is missing, Windows XP will try to locate the missing template multiple times. The process of locating a missing template may cause a Word document to take longer than expected to open.

It will take longer to open the document when you are connected to a network compared to when you are disconnected from the network.
Back to the top
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem on a computer with Windows XP installed, use one of the following methods as appropriate for your situation: Method 1: Attach the template from a new location, or attach the global template (Normal.dot).

Tools >> Templates and Add-In.. >>Change the value "Document Template" field to "Normal.dot"

For more than one file you can use VBscript too

Hide Unread Email Messages Notification on XP Logon Welcome Screen

2010-01-12T08:02:00.000-08:00

After Windows XP boots up to Welcome Screen or Logon Screen for user to log on to Windows desktop, there may be a message on the Logon Welcome page that user have certain number of unread mail messages, together with the email address of the account. For example, “1 unread email messages”. The unread email messages count also appear when system is locked, and user is required to enter the password to enter the desktop again.

The count of number of unread messages is generated for each users individually, and normally will be shown after user starts to use Microsoft’s related email clients or services, such as Microsoft Outlook and Windows Live Hotmail. The count takes into account all unread messages from programs like Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Live Mail, Windows Live Hotmail, and etc, depending on how these programs are used and setup.

It’s pretty useless and something annoying to display the number of unread mail messages available, especially when it also display user’s email address together. It’s possible to to remove these list and count of unread email messages on the Welcome Screen page with the following tricks.

The most easy way is to use TweakUI PowerToys, which the TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe setup file can be downloaded from Microsoft Download Center. After installing the TweakUI, run the program, locate and select Logon in the left pane. Then click on Unread Mail. Unselect and uncheck the Show unread mail on Welcome screen option. Users can choose whether to apply the new setting (without unread email count) only to user’s account or for all users on the computer.

It’s also possible to modify the registry directly to get rid of the unread email messages count on Logon Welcome Screen. To do so, run Registry Editor (regedit.exe), and the navigate to the one of the following registry keys:

For current logged on user:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail

For all users on the computer:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail

On the right pane, find a value data named MessageExpiryDays. If it’s not found, create a new DWORD key named MessageExpiryDays. Set the value of “MessegaExpiryDays” to 0, and save the setting.

Once disabled, unread emails count notification will no longer be displayed.

Setting Up Perl and CGI For Wamp Server WAMP(P)

2010-01-10T05:43:00.000-08:00

I work on Perl and CGI recently for my college project and so I decided to write a few steps on setting up Perl and CGI with Wamp Server. I hope this might be useful.
Step1:
First you need to download Wamp Server from www.wampserver.com and install Wamp Server on your machine. The default installation directory is ‘C:\wamp” and here I am using the default options for installation. To complete the installation you have to set the host name for your mail server and your email address, here you can leave the default option again. That will do no harm.
The current Wamp Server will install Apache 2.2.11, PHP 5.2.9-2 + PECL, MySQL 5.1.33, SQLitemanager and PhpMyadmin.
Step2:
Now you have to download ActivePerl (currently 5.10.0) from www.activestate.com and install it. The default installation directory is “C:\Perl“, but for simplicity and ease of use I use different directory. I create a new folder name “perl” inside “C:\wamp\bin“. So I install Active Perl in “C:\wamp\bin\perl” directory. The next thing you need to do is configure the Apache web server to execute Perl and CGI script.
Step3:
This is the most important part here. You need to edit the Apache configuration file. Now go to “C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.11\conf” directory and open “httpd.conf” file. Edit the httpd.conf file as below.
1. Inside httpd.conf, look for the line that says ““, just a few lines below this you’ll find the line that says “Options Indexes FollowSymLinks“. Add “Includes ExecCGI” in the line just next to FollowSymLinks, thus it look like this

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI

This will enable CGI script inside your www folder.
2. Now look for the line “AddHandler cgi-script .cgi“, this line is commented out. You need to enable this by un-comment this line, to do that remove the # character at the beginning of this line. This will add handler for files with .cgi extension. If you want to use .pl file extension in your server add “AddHandler cgi-script .pl” just below the above line. Now you will be able to execute CGI and Perl script with .cgi and .pl, extension.
Lines to add

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
AddHandler cgi-script .pl

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
AddHandler cgi-script .pl

3. To add directory index file, look for the line “DirectoryIndex index.php index.php3 index.html index.htm“. Add index.cgi and index.pl in this line.
Lines to add

DirectoryIndex index.php index.php3 index.html index.htm index.cgi index.pl

DirectoryIndex index.php index.php3 index.html index.htm index.cgi index.pl

Alternative: If you do not want to waste your time doing the above 3 steps, you can download the edited configuration file httpd.conf here. Replace the one inside your apache directory with this one.
Step4:
Your server is now configured and ready to run perl and cgi script. Next thing you might need to do is to configure perl to use mysql database. You need to download and install mysql driver to enable database connection through your perl script. You have to grab the driver from the ActivePerl package repository. However, mysql driver module is not available in the default ActivePerl Package Repository. So, you need to add additional repository and install from that repository. Follow the steps below:
1. Open command prompt [type cmd in run], then type “ppm repo add uwinnipeg” and press enter.

2. After the “uwinnipeg” repository is added successfully, you can install DBD-mysql by typing this command “ppm install DBD-mysql” and hit enter.

Note: The ActivePerl default package repository contains DBD-mysqlPP module. If you install that one, you will get an error in your SQL SELECT query and especially when you use the WHERE clause. Your localhost will hang if you run this kind of query with the WHERE clause, so to get it work you need to install the package that I mentioned above only.
http://www.chromicdesign.com/2009/05/setting-up-perl-for-wampp.html

For testing purpose , I have given some test codes below :

you need to create 2 files inside a new folder under www directory of wamp :

cgi_form.html

backatcha.cgi

then run the cgi_form.html under wamp server.

Example file :

Create a file named cgi_form.html


    
        
    
    
        
            What is your favorite color?

Create a file named backatcha.cgi

#!C:\wamp\bin\Perl\bin\perl.exe

use 5.010;
use CGI;

use strict;
use warnings;

my $q = CGI->new();
say $q->header(), $q->start_html();

say "
Parameters
";

for my $param ($q->param()) {
    my $safe_param = $q->escapeHTML($param);

    say "$safe_param: ";

    for my $value ($q->param($param)) {
        say $q->escapeHTML($value);
    }
    say '
';
}

say $q->end_html();

then , run the wamp server ,

and open the cgi_form.html

( for example : http://localhost/cgi/cgi_form.html )

: cgi_form

: cgi_result

Resize a Partition for Free in Windows 7 or Vista

2010-01-10T05:40:00.000-08:00

Windows 7 and Vista include a built-in functionality in Disk Management to shrink and expand partitions. No more 3rd party utilities needed!

For better results perform disk defragmentation before shrinking.

To get to this utility, open up Control Panel, and type in partition into the search box.. you’ll immediately see the link show up:

Shrink a Partition
In the Disk Management screen, just right-click on the partition that you want to shrink, and select “Shrink Volume” from the menu.

In the Shrink dialog, you will want to enter the amount you want to shrink by, not the new size. For example, if you want to shrink your 50gb partition by roughly 10gb so that it will now be roughly 40gb, enter 10000 into the box:

Extend a Partition
In the Disk Management screen, just right-click on the partition that you want to shrink, and select “Extend Volume” from the menu.

On this screen, you can specify the amount that you want to increase the partition by. In this case, I’m going to extend it back to the roughly 50GB size that it was before.
Note that the extend partition feature only works with contiguous space.

Modify the Windows XP System Properties logo

2010-01-03T00:51:00.000-08:00

The Windows XP System Properties logo is often changed by computer manufacturers. Hardware vendors use this general system information dialog to brand your computer with their own logo and support contact information.
In this tip you can learn how you can insert your own logo in the system properties dialog and complete it with your own contact information.
To invoke the system properties dialog, click the Start button, right-click "My Computer" and select "Properties".
This will open up your general system information dialog. On our Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Pro laptop, the Windows XP System Properties logo looks like this :

If you want to put your own graphic in there, you should create your image in a .bmp graphic file. It's also a good idea to create this bitmap image with the same background shade of gray (RGB: 192, 192, 192) used in the Properties dialog. Otherwise, you risk letting Windows make its own judgments regarding color contrast and background shading.
The next thing to consider is the image size. The system properties dialog only offers enough real estate for an image of about 180 (wide) x120 (high) pixels. Make sure that you can fit your logo in this area.
Once you have created your logo and saved it as a .bmp file, copy it over to the system32 subfolder of your Windows system folder. If you don't know where your system folder is :

Click the Start button and select "Run"
In the "open" field, enter "cmd" (without the quotes) and click ok
Windows will open up a dos command window
In the command window, type "set system" (without the quotes)
Look for the line that contains "SystemRoot", this is where your system directory is (generally, the Windows XP system folder is c:\windows)

Now that you know where your system folder is, copy your logo image file over to the system32 subfolder of your system folder. Then rename your logo image file to oemlogo.bmp
Additionally you can create a new file in this same folder and name the new file oeminfo.ini
In this file you can enter your contact information like in the example below :

[General]
Manufacturer=Windows Help Central
Model=ShowCase

[Support Information]
Line1=" "
Line2=" For support, sales, upgrades or questions:"
Line3=""
Line4=" Some text to demonstrate the XP System Properties logo"
Line5=" Windows XP Tips and Tricks "
Line6=" yadayada"
Line7=""
Line8=" +1 (888) 888-888 (voice)"
Line9=" +1 (888) 888-889 (fax)"
Line10=""
Line11=""
Line12=" http://www.windows-help-central.com/"

Save and close the file and you are ready. From now on, if someone opens up the system properties dialog, your own Windows XP System Properties logo is in there.

And if someone clicks the "Support Information" button :

Merge MP3

Download the latest release here. Simply unzip MergeMP3.exe from inside the ZIP file, place it into any directory and execute it.

It is often necessary to merge multiple sound files into one recording. This need may arise for various reasons: merge ripped CD tracks into one, combine multiple chapters of an audiobook, etc. There are many great programs to achieve this, but very few of them are actually free. I've discovered that while all of these programs perform the task well, they also contain lots of other features, making them too complicated for the tasks. This is why when I needed the plain vanilla merging utility, I could not find one that was free - and decided to write one myself. The added benefit of writing one myself, of course, is that it has exactly the features I need - and none that I don't. When it was done - I decided to give it away for free - to alleviate some of the pains I had.

Below are some screenshots of the program. Click on each image for a large picture.

[Back to Top]

Program Features
The features of the program are not numerous - but everything you need is here:

Merge as many files as you like - no limitations by size, length, or number.
Sort files to be merged by filename (with or without directory), date/time or size.
Optionally write ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags into the merged MP3 file.
Optionally write VBR frame into the merged file - useful when merging files with different bitrates.
View detailed information about MP3 files to be merged, including MPEG header information and ID3v1 and ID3v2 information.
Choose to use ID3 tag from any of the files to be merged to write into the target file.
Display an image embedded into the MP3 files.
Play MP3 files from the list to be merged.
No complicated installation - simply unzip the program and run from any directory.
Very intuitive interface.
Very fast merge speed.
It's absolutely FREE!

Free VPN

2009-06-24T07:29:00.000-07:00

Have you ever wanted to get a VPN but all sites ask you to pay for it. Well you’re in the right place, you have found a free one on my site. This VPN can be used to bypass any restriction by any ISP such as site blocking, voip blocking, firewalls… or simple you can use it to stay anonymous on internet in facebook, myspace, messenger or any other site or software that uses internet. Here are the VPN details:

VPN Free Account
Host Server or IP Address : 216.155.136.84
User Name : anonymous
Password : anonymous

This VPN gives you a valid IP from 216.155.136.84 server instead of your real IP.
128bit Strong Encryption prevents even your ISP from spying on you!
A VPN connection also helps prevent data theft (such as passwords or credit card numbers) when you’re connecting from wireless or remote locations.
VOIP (Betamax, Skype, etc) - This VPN works with VOIP carriers worldwide. The VPN for VoIP service will allow you to place VOIP calls even if they are being blocked by your ISP or other entity. VPN encryption disguises the fact that you are placing a VOIP call and only a connection to our server will show up in ISP logs with no mention of any VOIP port.
Secures you when using unsecured internet locations such as hotels, airports, internet cafes, cruise ships, university computers, etc. VPN encryption guards all your data from the time it leaves your computer until it reaches our server.
Packet Sniffing - VPN’s proprietary software installed on this server protects your privacy even in the event someone tried to use packet sniffing to monitor your internet activities.
Post on bulletin boards without displaying your real IP address.
You can access the system from any number of computers simultaneously! This means you can use the service while traveling, at work, at school, or away from home.
Multi Protocol Services - You can make PPTP, L2TP IPsec connections.
Choice of Servers in : USA ( California ) + UK + Germany will be given here soon.

If you dont know how to setup a VPN connection here is how you can do it:

Remove Saved Passwords In Windows XP

2009-05-02T22:09:00.000-07:00

Windows XP gives you the ability to store user names and passwords on your local computer so you do not have to enter in your credentials each time you access different sites or resources. Of course this provides some simplicity for users that have to remember more than one user name and password. However, in terms of security, any one who sits down at your computer while you are logged on can then access sites and resources using your cached credentials.

You can view and remove the stored credentials on your computer using the following steps:

1. Click Start and select Run.
2. Type in rundll32.exe keymgr.dll, KRShowKeyMgr and Click OK.
3. The Stored User Names and Passwords dialog box will appear.
4. You can remove an entry by selecting it from the list and clicking the Remove button.
5. Click Close..

How to Install Google Analytics on Blogger

How to Install Google Analytics on Blogger
Posted: Thursday, January 29th, 2009 | Author: Davidd Cowgill

Google Analytics Blogger LogoWouldn’t it be nice to know how many people actually visited your blog each day? How about knowing which of your posts are the most popular? Well surprisingly Blogger doesn’t currently offer any native blog analytics but fortunately there is Google Analytics — available for free.

Google Analytics is a great tool that will show you all sorts of useful information about how people found your blog, keywords they searched on to find you, where they came from and even how long they stayed. You’ll learn more about where your visitors come from and how they interact with your blog. This is a must tool if you are trying to build a profitable blog otherwise you are flying blind!

This article will show you how to add Google Analytics to your Blogger blog. It’s a fairly simple process and doesn’t require any technical skill at all.
Step #1 - Setup a Google Analytics Account

Go to Google Analytics and sign in using your Blogger login. If your account doesn’t work for some reason, you can create a new one instead. Once you login you’ll see a screen that looks like this:

Google Analytics Blogger Sign Up Step 1

Click on the “Sign Up >>” button and proceed to the next step which will ask you for your general information. Website URL, Account Name, Country, and Time Zone. The screen will look like this:

Google Analytics Blogger Step 2

If you noticed, I just put my Blogger url (without the http://) and called it “David’s Account” because this is your top-level container for 1 or 100 different websites so it’s a good idea to name it something more general. The next step will ask you for your contact information which includes your first name, last name, phone number, and country. Easy so far right? :-)

Google Analytics Blogger Step 3

Your last step in signing up will ask you to accept the user agreement terms and conditions which you should read (just kidding…who actually ever reads these entire legal terms anyhow?).

Google Analytics Blogger Step 4

Now this next screen is very important. This is the code you will need to copy and paste into your blogger template. Go ahead and click into the box and it will automatically highlight the entire block of code for you. Now you need to copy that code and paste it into notepad or into a MS Word document. Save it as you’ll need to use it later.

Google Analytics Blogger Step 5

After you click on the “continue >>” button you will be taken to your brand new Google Analytics dashboard! You will see your blogger blog listed but with no analytical data….yet.

Google Analytics Blogger Dashboard

Ok, now you are done with setting up your Google Analytics account. The next step is placing the tracking code into your Blogger template so it can report back to Google Analytics and provide you with some cool data points.
Step #2 - Adding GA Tracking Code to Your Blogger Template

This is not a very difficult step even if you are afraid to touch your template code. Login to your Blogger account and then click on the “Layout” => “Edit HTML” tabs. This will bring you to the template code. Before you make any changes, I advice you to back up your template just in case there are any problems. After you’ve done so, continue reading.

Now in the edit template html code window, scroll all the way to the bottom of your template code and look for the tag. There should only be one of these closing tags in your template. If you can’t find it then your template wasn’t properly created and you should add one right above the tag.The tag should always be your last line of code in your template. It signifies the end of your template.

Ok, now go back to the code you saved before in a Word Doc from Google Analytics. You are going to copy it and paste it right above the tag as illustrated in the image below. The yellow highlighted code is the new GA code I just pasted into my template.

blogger google analytics code 2

Save your template and you shouldn’t get any error messages. If you do, it’s most likely not related to this GA code and something else with your template itself. Assuming you’ve been successful with your save, you are all done embedding the GA code in your template!
Step #3 - Confirm Google Analytics is Tracking

Go back into your Google Analytics account and look at your dashboard. Most likely you will see a little yellow exclamation mark under the “status” column that looks like this: google analytics tracking not installed. This means everything isn’t working properly yet which is fine because we are about to tell GA we just added the code. From your dashboard, click on the “edit” link which is located to the far right.

Google Analytics Blogger Dashboard Edit

After you click on that link, you’ll see another screen like below. It will say “Tracking Not Installed” followed by a link “Check Status”. You’ll want to go ahead and click on that link which will tell GA to visit your site and look for the new code you just pasted in your template.

Google Analytics Blogger Dashboard Check Code

Assuming you pasted the code in there as instructed above, GA will find the new code and begin tracking everything on your blog. If you are still having problems, it’s most likely something to do with GA and you should read their help guide to troubleshoot your problem.

Google Analytics Blogger Dashboard Success

The message seen here, “Waiting for Data” means you have correctly setup GA and data is being gathered! Click on the top left Google Analytics logo and it will take you back to your dashboard. From there click on the “View report” link and that’s where all your very important Blogger visitor data will start appearing!

Google Analytics Blogger Dashboard Results

Now it usually takes an hour or so before you will see any data (maybe longer if you don’t get much traffic to your blog) so please be patient. Trust me, you’ll be logging in at least once a day just to see how much traffic your blog is getting. It’s very addicting and powerful information to learn from. You’ll be surprised which posts are your most popular and what countries people are coming from to read your blog.

Google Analytics is very powerful and we have just learned how to install it into your Blogger template. We haven’t even scratched the surface on the features and reporting it can do. For most Bloggers, this will be enough. Data will be collected and you will just review it. Others with more in-depth goals (like selling products or services, creating a sales funnel, etc) will want to spend more time learning GA. Hope you enjoyed the tutorial and don’t blame me for your new found addiction!

Automatically Add Disclaimers To Outgoing Emails With alterMIME On Fedora 8

2009-04-15T23:12:00.000-07:00

Automatically Add Disclaimers To Outgoing Emails With alterMIME On Fedora 8

Version 1.0
Author: Oliver Meyer
Last edited 02/19/2008

This document describes how to install and configure alterMIME as a Postfix filter on a Fedora 8 system. The resulting system will automatically add disclaimers to outgoing emails.

This howto is a practical guide without any warranty - it doesn't cover the theoretical backgrounds. There are many ways to set up such a system - this is the way I chose.

1 Preliminary Note

A running (and properly configured) Postfix server is required for this setup.

2 Needed Package

yum -y install altermime

3 Configuration

3.1 Altermime

First we create a system-account for altermime.

useradd -r -c "Postfix Filters" -d /var/spool/filter filter
mkdir /var/spool/filter
chown filter:filter /var/spool/filter
chmod 750 /var/spool/filter

Next we create a script that'll execute altermime.

vi /etc/postfix/disclaimer

It should look like this:

#!/bin/sh

# Localize these.

INSPECT_DIR=/var/spool/filter

SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix



####### Changed From Original Script #######

DISCLAIMER_ADDRESSES=/etc/postfix/disclaimer_addresses

####### Changed From Original Script END #######



# Exit codes from 

EX_TEMPFAIL=75

EX_UNAVAILABLE=69



# Clean up when done or when aborting.

trap "rm -f in.$$" 0 1 2 3 15



# Start processing.

cd $INSPECT_DIR || { echo $INSPECT_DIR does not exist; exit

$EX_TEMPFAIL; }



cat >in.$$ || { echo Cannot save mail to file; exit $EX_TEMPFAIL; }



####### Changed From Original Script #######

# obtain From address

from_address=`grep -m 1 "From:" in.$$ | cut -d "<" -f 2 | cut -d ">" -f 1`



if [ `grep -wi ^${from_address}$ ${DISCLAIMER_ADDRESSES}` ]; then

 /usr/bin/altermime --input=in.$$ \

                  --disclaimer=/etc/postfix/disclaimer.txt \

                  --disclaimer-html=/etc/postfix/disclaimer.txt \

                  --xheader="X-Copyrighted-Material: Please visit http://www.company.com/privacy.htm" || \

                   { echo Message content rejected; exit $EX_UNAVAILABLE; }

fi

####### Changed From Original Script END #######



$SENDMAIL "$@" exit $?

Afterwards change the group and the rights in order that altermime is allowed to execute the script.
