So lets add this beautiful add-on to your blogger blogs and make things even more neater. Kindly see a demo first:

Add a Profile Image Next To Post Titles

Google Plus Won Over Facebook Video Calling Option!

In ancient times it was said that the bigger your territory the harder it is to control and manage it. It is easy to start a new business but very difficult to maintain it. Google+ came like a big news in social media world and has quickly started gaining exposure due to its excellent privacy features like Circles and best social interaction features like Chat, Audio Chat and Google+ Video Calling. some people said that if Facebook trys it can introduce the same features in Facebook and will completely win over this new bird but with an embarrassing failure of introducing a video calling option, Facebook is now in great critics pressure from all corners.

Why Facebook Video Calling Stopped Working?

Facebook  in corporation with the Skype network launched the Video calling option on its mega site but the Traffic burden on this video calling chatting option was so much that even the giant servers of Facebook stopped responding. Just a week after the launch of Google+, Facebook announced the integration of Video calling option on their site and created a funny demonstrative video too but they never knew that it is not that easy to be masters of all trade. Just after 4-5 days the video call service completely stopped responding and this is what that appears on their site for weeks now:

Video calling will be available soon.

Please check back later.

Users complained of many bugs and errors and buffering problems. Currently 750 Million users are registered at Facebook and the burden on servers was so much that Facebook has to step back. I am not sure when will they be able to avail it again. Lets see when can they let Facebook users to talk face to face again or will FB users slowly start migrating to Google+. Whatever the problems may be, once again Google proved that we are the best developers! :)

Is your Blog slowing down due to MyBlogLog Termination?

I was facing blog load time issues this week so I started looking at codes that were causing the problem. After a lot of trial and error I finally found the code responsible for slowing down the site load time. It was the code snippet provided by Mybloglog. I was confused as why it was behaving like this because being a yahoo service Mybloglog server’s should be fast in response as it is a social networking platform for bloggers provided by Yahoo. But then I read on Wikipedia that On February 24, 2011 Yahoo announced that the MyBlogLog service would be terminated on May 24, 2011. The code snippet was not causing problems till the end of July but it caused me great troubles in August. Since MyBloglog is no more so there is no use of keeping its code on your templates. Delete the code so that your blog may load at better speed.

 

Remove MyBlogLog Code From Your Templates

1. Inside your templates search for track.mybloglog.com
2. You will find it enclosed in a similar code like this one,

<script src='http://track.mybloglog.com/js/jsserv.php?mblID=2009033019163361' type='text/javascript'/>
 

   3.    Remove this entire code and save your template.

   4.    You are done!

Your blog will now load at a much better speed because now the browser doesn’t need to load or look for mybloglog code. Keep your blogs healthy and stay healthy. Peace out!. :>
