Ning had been out for quite a while the whole of today (26th evening for my eastern readers). Readers in that time would have seen my blog going all whack, because all my scripts are stored externally using Steve’s excellent Jscripts repository …

The Web 2.0 boom was something that stirred everybody and everything that had a remote connection with the Internet. Startups, mashups, networks … you name it! Everything began to appear everywhere you looked. We called it ‘opening the In …

From today, I’m allowing subscriptions to another feed (we love choices, don’t we? :)). With the latest buzz being piping our existing feed and re-order them by published date, I think one (annoying but) good aspect of Blogger’s nat …

Over time and use, we might have noticed Google doing weird things! :P Whether it be a botched up search, or an advertisement for dead people, our favourite search people do have their bad days! :) I caught about three of these, but wasn’t sati …

I know I am someone who has actively asked Blogger for trackbacks since the new version came out. Trackbacks are a great way to get some traffic back to your blog, if you’re someone who links a lot to other stories and your blog serves as a way …

No! I’m kidding :P I am obsessed, but not addicted, yet! I personally don’t believe there is anything such as blog ‘addiction’, but there sure are people like me who are constantly thinking about blogs, feeds, posts, articles, …

I know one thing that publishers love to do everyday. Check their subscriber count! I take it to an almost feverish level where one tab stays open to the ‘Live hits’ page of FeedBurner, with an auto refresh of about one and a half hours, …

Going through 9rules, I bumped into this discussion (note?), with one fella’ asking which one of Wordpress and Blogger (for goodness sakes it’s not Blogspot!) is better. The replies to this seemingly innocent question over there are absol …

Edit: As the comment by Pete goes, Blogger has added an orderby query string, that can take two values, namely published or updated, depending on how you want your feed ordered. This cuts out Pipes out of the equation as of now, and hence remove the …

Adsense was launched way back in June 2003 (Press Release) with the promise of allowing sites to make money by serving (relatively) unobtrusive ads on their pages. Google AdSense, a program that enables website publishers to serve ads precisely t …

Update: There is no need to do this anymore. Check out the update on this post. It seems like at every step of the way, the fact that feeds are becoming ‘the’ way to get information and updates, it turning out to be true. It’s ju …

Making this new template, I had to filter out a lot of stuff for various pages. For example, you won’t see the TOC on a post page, but you will on the main, archive and search pages. The hanging flowers in the bottom area disappear from the top …

I am sure you would have heard of Google’s OneBox. It’s a way of searching multiple aspects/types of information with just one search keyword and submit. They’ve been quietly rolling it out to people, who don’t even know that …

Making resolution independent designs becomes the focus of web designers when they start to become serious about the pages they work on. Making sure they look near about the same everywhere is a big issue today, and till web standards are followed pr …

Quietly sometime in the last 2 months, I switched my CC License to something more strict than what the community of hackers and those who implement these hacks, is used to. Usually you see a ‘Attribution/Non-commercial/Share Alike’ licens …

Thanks to Cyberbuff for pointing this out. I’ve become a little forgetful :( The code was (by mistake) set to get the labels from my personal blog, because I was testing it there. Get the updated code from below, and see the instruction! Sorry! …

I got the idea for it when I saw the two fixed menus over at Quirksmode. Now, I’m not a great book publishing, tutorial blog writing coder. But I can write code, so with the new look, I wanted to add that little detail in. It becomes a nuisance …

This has taken me long enough, so I will not put it off any more. Something more to do with ‘me’ than the web or the Internet! :) Let me introduce everyone to my nice (somewhat) little personal blog. It’s called ‘The Wrong Roa …

I’ve always wanted to be able to share little interesting pages that I’ve come across the Internet in an unobtrusive and compact way. Short of adding a widget for it and overcrowding my sidebar, this is the most creative way I could think …

Though the new Blogger has made loading blogs faster, I guess it still has a little more way to go to be handle multiple requests for a page. This is most evident when you’re trying to test a new design or a hack, which requires you to constant …
