Zemanta Firefox Plugin

Here's a new plugin for firefox browser. It suggests content for your blog as you create your posts. This plugin is called Zemanta and it currently works for Wordpress (hosted and self-hosted), Typepad and Blogger. The content suggested by Zementa are all copyright cleared so you don’t have to go trolling for content and license issues for your blog.

I’ve installed this on my blog to see how it works, and the suggestions given by this seem to be pretty good. Here is a screenshot of Zemanta while writing this post:



I thank VT's Tech Blog for sharing about this plugin on his blog.

Creating Post Summaries on Blogger.com

Many of us are frustrated that blogger.com didn't include "post summaries" in their system by default but the posted an article about "post summaries" on their help section. Now since not all of us blogger.com users are expert in HTML and CSS, I made a simple tutorial for those who want to have post summaries on your blogs





Conditional CSS

We're going to use conditional tags to change how posts display on different pages. Add the following code to your style sheet, depending on what kind of template you have:



Your style sheet is usually near the top of your template, between the tags. If you have your style sheet in a separate file, you'll still need to add these lines in your template, so the conditional tags will work. Just make sure you add in the tags around them.

What we did here was to define a class called "fullpost" that will appear only on post pages (permalinks). Part of each post will use this class, as we'll see later.



"Read More" Links

Add the following code to your template, somewhere after the <$dollarBlogItemBody$dollar> or tag:




This link will only appear on the main page and archive pages, and it will redirect your reader to the post page containing the full text of your post. You can replace the "Read more!" text with whatever you like, of course.
Post Modifications

The final piece that we need is a little bit of code in your actual post. Each post that you want to use this feature on will need this code:



This part can actually go in the post template, if you don't want to have to type it for each post. You'll enter the summary text outside the span tags and the remainder inside, like so:

Here is the beginning of my post. And here is the rest of it.

Now, when a reader visits your blog, this post will appear like this:

Here is the beginning of my post.
Read more!

When they click the link, they'll go to the post page where they'll see the whole thing:

Here is the beginning of my post. And here is the rest of it.

Week Two of Adobe Illustrator Training by Chris Cubos

Layer function demonstration
Week 2 of our Adobe Illustrator tutorial was a bit an enlightening experience as we learned that Illustrator supports 3 types of layering functions. The first is the standard layering, the second is the layer within the layer and last but the least. The object element appearance "layering".

Aside from the layering function, we were tough to use the proper swatch color depending on the purpose of the project. There are some preset colors that are used for the following situation like web colors, for Kids colors, for restaurant , etc.

Sunday Evening Blog: Updates, updates and more update...

I've been so busy at work for the past week that I wasn't able to update some of my blogs. So I made it a point that I could update some of the blogs. I just recently migrated/converted my website CNSQ Online from PHP/CSS template based site into a Wordpress powered site. I also updated my Web Developer Squidoo Lens so that I can receive some $$ by the end of the month (hopefully the new content would help ;D).
