One of the most frustrating things to happen when creating a web page is
when you can’t seem to get it to load on your website. You find a typo,
fix it and reupload, then when you view the page it’s still there. Or
you make a major change to the site and you can’t seem to see it when
you upload.

 

Web Caches and Browser Caches Affect How Your Page is Displayed

 

The most common reason for this is that the page is in your web browser
cache. The browser cache is a tool in all web browsers to help pages
load more quickly. The first time you load a web page, it is loaded
straight from the web server. Then, the browser saves a copy of the page
and all the images in a file on your machine. The next time you go to
that page, your browser opens the page from your hard drive rather than
the server.


The browser typically checks the server once per session. What this
means is that the first time you view your web page during a session it
will be saved on your computer. So, if you then find a typo and fix it
the upload may not display correctly.

How to Force Pages to Bypass the Web Cache

 

In order to force your browser to load a web page from the server rather
than the cache, you should hold down the shift key while you click on
the "Refresh" or "Reload" button. This tells the browser to ignore the
cache and download the page from the server directly.

Last time I posted a method on How to Disable Right Click Option? But that was for websites only.




Those blogger who want to disable right click option on their blog can proceed to read this post.





In order to Disable Right Click Option on Your Blog, follow the following steps:



1. Go to your Blogger Dashboard.

2. Click on Design. The "Page Elements" page appear.

3. Now, add an HTML/JavaScript widget and paste the following code in the widget:

<script language="JavaScript">

<!--



//Disable right mouse click Script

//By http://klustter.blogspot.com



var message="Right Click is Disabled";



///////////////////////////////////

function clickIE4(){

if (event.button==2){

alert(message);

return false;

}

}



function clickNS4(e){

if (document.layers||document.getElementById&&!document.all){

if (e.which==2||e.which==3){

alert(message);

return false;

}

}

}



if (document.layers){

document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);

document.onmousedown=clickNS4;

}

else if (document.all&&!document.getElementById){

document.onmousedown=clickIE4;

}



document.oncontextmenu=new Function("alert(message);return false")



// -->

</script>

4. Save the widget and you are done.



Now, when someone right click in your blog, they will get the message in red text.

You can change this text to your will.

Windows/Mac/Linux: Feed reader RSSOwl has long been a favorite of
open-source advocates, despite being a bit less powerful than its
competition. Version 2, however, brings OPML import/export, sharing, and
smart searching, finally giving it powers to rival its desktop
counterparts.










If you were tempted by RSSOwl in the past, you may
have been turned off by its inability to import feeds from other
readers. Now, however, you can be set up and reading feeds exported from
other readers within minutes. It also features a tabbed interface, so
you don't have to constantly close feeds, and a built-in browser for you
to view the full content of any article. In addition, you can do away
with the usual 3-pane view and combine the rightmost two, viewing the
entire feed's content in one pane, Google Reader style.



Possibly the coolest feature of RSSOwl, though, is searching. The
app's got so many ways to search that it's a little overwhelming at
first, but it's extremely powerful down the line. You can have multiple
different conditions to any given search and save your searches—not
unlike the "smart playlist" feature of media players—and group feeds by
specific attributes. You can also use this as a filter, automatically
filing incoming articles into news bins (akin to folders in an email
client), marking them as sticky (akin to flagging or starring), or
applying labels (akin to...labels) for super organizational powers.



There are too many features to describe in detail—other highlights
include sharing via services including Facebook, Twitter, or Digg, and
notifications (that integrate with Growl in OS X)—so check out their full overview
for more detailed information. However, despite the power behind this
app, it still seems to be missing integration with Google Reader,
something we'd really like to see—but if you're not beholden to The
Google for web-based RSS, this is definitely an app worth checking out.

Right Click disabling might sounds Ok, but this isn't generally a good idea. Why not?


It's annoying!

 
You don't realise just how much you use right-click until you can't use it! There are a lot of useful features in the short menu that it opens up. While most are also available in the main browser menu, it's often much quicker to use the right-click menu -- this is usually the closest menu you have available.

It's pointless!

 
If you think disabling right-click will protect your source code or images, think again! Anyone who's determined to copy your content or code will do so regardless of his or her ability to bring up a browser context menu. If they want your source code then it's as simple as selecting 'view source' from the main menu. Article text can be highlighted and copied, images and media presentations can be retrieved from the cache, and streaming media can be recorded.

Disabling right-click will only make people more determined to learn exactly what it is you're hiding. And this could end up being counter-productive, as your images and source code attract unwanted attention. Not only that, but you can only disable right-click on browsers that have JavaScript enabled: a visitor only has to turn off JavaScript in their browser's options to be able to ignore the script altogether!

It's disabling!

 
Mouse gestures that enable quicker navigation are starting to become a feature of browsers: Opera has them, Mozilla has just added support, and it's only a matter of time before Internet Explorer adopts them. Disabling right-click on pages viewed in these browsers also disables the ability to use mouse gestures, so you won't be popular with those that use them frequently!

Even when you don't make use of mouse gestures, their absence can still seriously affect your ability to browse the Internet. I tend to open any links from a page I like in a new window from the right-click menu, so that I can read and compare both pages and return without having to use the back button. While you can open a link in a new window by holding down shift while clicking on it, many find it easier to use the option from the right-click menu. Disable right-click and you'll alienate these users pretty quickly.

It's unprofessional!

 
Ask yourself this: would you buy something from a site that reminds you its images are protected by copyright every time you go to use right-click (even when your pointer is nowhere near an image)?
Disabling right click suggests a lack of professionalism to users.
 

It's insulting!

 
Most of your visitors will come to your site looking to buy something, or to find information. Only a small percentage of your visitors will land at your site with the intention to steal from it. By trying to protect yourself from the minority, you effectively insult the majority, who will use the right-click menu for legitimate reasons. Do you really expect your visitors to trust you when you offer them "helpful reminders" that imply you can't trust them?

Granted, some people will want to view your source code -- but don't assume that everyone who looks at it will want to use it on their site! Savvy visitors that are aware of deceptive techniques used by some unscrupulous site owners may just want to check that a link is going to take them where they think it will take them. Does that make them a thief?



So, its not a good idea to disable right click on websites in order to avoid content theft.

You would have noticed that the Right Click function of Mouse is disabled in some websites.









But why the owners of the website disable Right Click function of Mouse?

Well! We all know that Contents Theft is one of the biggest crime (you can say) of the Internet World.

According to me, more than 90% Websites and Owners are fed with Stolen Contents. This is shame for those thieves. They found it very easy and straight, just Highlight all the Text and Click Copy and then Paste it in the new post. They do it just for money and rank and when they get a higher Rank then they are Boosting to their friends (etc...) that they have a High Rank on the Web. But this is not the good way. And I also don't like this.

The real problem is not content theft but the problem is that most of them publish the stolen content without crediting. That is why it is a very big loss to the Writer of the Contents. The Writers spend days and nights writing good contents for their readers, after a long research and surveys and the leachers publish them so carelessly without crediting.

So, for minimizing the content theft, some websites and blog owners Disable Right Click function of Mouse on their web pages so that the readers cannot copy their content. But, I think this is not the successful way of content security. Anyway, they block the Right Click function for this purpose.

This "Disabled Right Click function" can be broken very easily and have lot of disadvantages for the website or blog owners, therefore this is not popular.

This was about "Why Website/Blog Owners Disable Right function on Their Websites" and I'll post about "How to Disable Right Click in Websites/Blogs" in a couple of days.

What do you think about the Right Click Disabling in web pages, is a good function or bad? If bad, then Why?

Blogger has finally added the new two widgets to their widgets page. These two new widgets are Popular Posts widget and Blogger Stats. You can easily add them to your Blog page as you add the other widgets, simply.








1. Popular Posts Widget









This widget will show Popular Posts which mean the posts which have more visits.



2. Blog Stats Widget






The Stats widget will show the unique number of page views of your blog.



Blogger did a very good job for publishing these widgets. It will help all the Bloggers because most of the blogs has Popular Posts widget which is added by adding some CSS and HTML codes which may be mind freaking for those blogger who do not know more about CSS and HTML.



And this, finally, kicked off the freaking codes. So, simply add the Popular Posts widget to your sidebar and increase your Page Rank as most readers look for Popular Posts of the Blog  and now Your Blog's Popular Posts are available at the sidebar.



I know that this update will bring a little smile on the newbies and those who do not know more about HTML.. :-)

Numbering Navigation Widget is very useful for blogs because it tell the visitors that how many pages this blog has and from those pages the visitor can calculate that how much posts this blog contain.

This widget is place at the bottom of the template where "Newer Posts" and "Older Posts" are shown.
It looks like this:



Follow the instructions to place this widget on your Blog.

1. Go to Your Blogger Dashboard.
2. Click on Design Page.
3. Now, Navigate to Edit HTML tab

Better not to check the box "Expand Widget Templates"

4. Now, search for the term   ]]</b:skin>
Copy and paste the following code just before ]]</b:skin> 

    

.showpageArea a {
text-decoration:underline;
}
.showpageNum a {
text-decoration:none;
border: 1px solid #cccccc;
margin:0 3px;
padding:3px;
}
.showpageNum a:hover {
border: 1px solid #cccccc;
background-color:#cccccc;
}
.showpagePoint {
color:#333;
text-decoration:none;
border: 1px solid #cccccc;
background: #cccccc;
margin:0 3px;
padding:3px;
}
.showpageOf {
text-decoration:none;
padding:3px;
margin: 0 3px 0 0;
}
.showpage a {
text-decoration:none;
border: 1px solid #cccccc;
padding:3px;
}
.showpage a:hover {
text-decoration:none;
}
.showpageNum a:link,.showpage a:link {
text-decoration:none;
color:#333333;
}

This is the CSS part of the widget which defines the properties and work of your widget (Navigation Widget).

Now, its time to add the HTML code of the Widget.
So,

5. Find   </body>. And copy the following code and paste it just before the  </body>

<!--Page Navigation Starts-->
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "item"'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "static_page"'>
<script type='text/javascript'>
var pageCount=5;
var displayPageNum=5;
var upPageWord ='Previous';
var downPageWord ='Next';
</script>
<script src='http://blogergadgets.googlecode.com/files/blogger-page-navi.v1.js' type='text/javascript'/>
</b:if>
</b:if>
<!--Page Navigation Ends -->

Save Your Template and Your are done. You can see the Navigation Template in your Blog.

Customization :

var pageCount=5; : This code determines the number of posts that displayed on each page

var displayPageNum=5; : This code determines navigation numbers displayed on the page navigation widget(like 1 2 3 4 5 ...).

var upPageWord ='Previous';
var upPageWord ='Next';

Web Stat is a website which monitors your blog/website's visitors. It can do a lot of works for you such as the location of your visitors, which pages they visit in your blog, how much time they spent in your blog and etc...

It also provides LIVE streaming. When you log in to your Web Stat account, you will be able to see that who is viewing your blog that time.

What is a feed?
If you’re used to surfing the internet and viewing blogs, you probably already know what a feed is. If you don’t, then read on. A feed is basically way for a blog’s or website’s visitor to subscribe to the site using a web page, feed reader or email to subscribe.

New posts are automatically delivered to the chosen subscription method so that the user can read new posts from their favorite topics whenever they are updated, without having to surf from site to site looking for new posts and updates.

What is an RSS feed?

RSS is the most common feed type. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication.
It is a text-based XML format. The feed content is delivered to your favorite RSS feed reader. The most popular web-based RSS feed readers are Bloglines and Google Reader. Here’s a list of Windows based RSS feed reader software.

Apart from RSS, the most popular feed type is Atom. It also uses XML to deliver the feeds.

Subscribing to an RSS feed

Subscibing to a feed is pretty simple. Let’s walk through the process together.

Step 1: Find the RSS feed. Most blogs have their feed icon at the top right area of the page, look for the orange feed icon or RSS. On this blog, I have a custom, blue RSS feed icon.

If you can’t find the feed icon on a blog (90% of blogs have it) don’t worry. Most feeds are at http://www.example.com/feed so try adding the /feed to the end of the blog’s adress. (My feed is at http://feeds.feedburner.com/Guide29-Tutorials For blogs at blogspot.com, add feeds/posts/default to the end of their domain to find the feed. Example: http://example.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default.

Step 2: Subscribe. Click the feed icon and you’ll be taken to the feed page. From here you can choose which feed reader to use. I recommend Google Reader. Choose your preferred reader and continue.

Step 3: Read. Now you are subscribed to the feed. You should be redirected to your RSS feed reader and you can start reading feeds.

As you probably know the loading speed of your site is a very important factor. Not only it affects the user experience, but it is also used as a search ranking parameter by Google now.

In the past I talked about some tools you can use to test and optimize the loading speed of your site, but a couple of weeks ago I came across a new one that is worth a mention, too.

You can find it on WebPageTest.org. First of all you need to input the URL of your website, choose a geographical location to perform the test, select a couple of options and then click on “Submit.”
It takes 30 seconds or so to complete the test, and then you’ll see a results page like this one:



You’ll get the loading time of your website on the first and second visit (these numbers will be different if you use caching. The tool also gives you a grade on 6 areas (Keep-alive, text compressions, image compressions, caching, CSS and JS combination, CDN), and detailed graphs explaining what optimization steps you failed at and what elements make most of your page’s size.

Calculators are often overlooked as a simple utility, but you might be surprised by how much they increase user interaction on your site. If a user finds your calculator extremely useful, he’s likely to bookmark your site so that he doesn’t have to search for it the next time. You may not be aware of the variety of calculator plugins available for WordPress, so here’s an excellent sampling of recently updated plugins that will perform calculations on your website.


If your site depends on being able to provide some sophisticated calculations for your visitors, then WordPress has the calculator for you. Many of these can be used in combination with a BuddyPress site to promote a community that’s based on mutual interests and goals, such as running, losing weight, or getting out of debt.
