Blogger Gets Dynamic HTML5 Templates

Google today added a set of five dynamic templates to Blogger that can be switched from one to the other by the visitor on-the-fly. Unlike other Blogger templates that are sort of hard coded into the blog and can be applied or changed only by the blog owner or administrator, the dynamic templates can be applied by any visitor to the blog, offering visitors fresh ways to browse and read Blogspot blogs.

The new templates are based on AJAX, HTML5 and CSS3 and offer a host of features such a infinite scrolling and load images as you view them and not all at once.

Out of the 5 templates,  Flipcard, Mosaic, and Snapshot are suited for photography-blogs or blogs with images as the predominant content. The Sidebar and Timeslide are general purpose templates that suits any kind of blogs.

To try these views on your own blog, simply add “/view” to the end of the blog URL—for example, http://buzz.blogspot.com/view. These new views are supposedly available on all public Blogger blogs with feeds fully enabled, but for some reasons they don’t work on all blogs.

Dynamic templates also do not currently support many of the features your original blog may have, including displaying advertisements and widgets.

The Dynamic templates are enabled on all Blogger blogs by default. If you wish to turn them off, you can do so by disabling it from your Blogger Dashboard under Settings > Formatting.

Whenever the computer is lagging or some application is taking too long to respond, we usually fire up task manager and look under the Performance tab or under Processes to check on processor utilization or the amount of free memory available. The task manager is ideal for real-time analysis of CPU and memory utilization. It even displays a short history of CPU utilization in the form of a graph. You get a small time-window, about 30 seconds or so, depending on how large the viewing area is.

How to Schedule Changes to Your Facebook Page Cover Photo

Facebook’s current layout, the so called Timeline, features a prominent, large cover photo that some people are using in a lot of different creative ways. Timeline is also available for Facebook Pages that people can use to promote their website or business or event. Although you can change the cover photo as often as you like, it’s meant to be static – something which you design and leave it for at least a few weeks or months like a redesigned website. However, there are times when you may want to change the cover photo frequently and periodically to match event dates or some special promotion that you are running or plan to run. So, here is how you can do that.
