Infotix -- A Technology notepad

Here is a cool blogger widget that enables you to download any Youtube video by typing link of that particular video.




TechnoJuice has provided 2 different styles that can easily modified according to your sidebar's width.To insert this just copy-paste following code:

<script src="http://downloadutube.googlepages.com/ytdwid.js" type="text/javascript"></script>



P.S.: Make sure to rename the downloaded file with .flv extension.

The previous post regarding writing of HTML code inside posts follows a long procedure if HTML code is quite large.In contrast to this TEXT BOX is quite easy.

Text box can be generated by typing the following code:

<textarea rows="12" cols="19">
Any TEXT like Infotix
</textarea>

Any TEXT like Infotix

Alternatively:

<textarea style="WIDTH: 332px; HEIGHT: 70px" onfocus="this.select();" name="textarea" cols="19">Any TEXT like Infotix</textarea>

Any TEXT like Infotix

But this method has its own limitations.The code/text inside this box will not be crawled by Google spiders.So, make sure you don't type any important links or keywords inside this box.

Here is the list of some useful HTML code that I use while writing a blogger post.Though there are various option in Post editor but some of them like underlining,highlighting,striking etc are still not available.


1)Underline
--> Type your text like this <u>Infotix</u>

2)StrikeThrough
--> Read previous post at Creating Strikethrough Text

3)Writing HTML code inside post
--> Visit How to write HTML code inside blogger post

4)Line on top of Text
--> Type your text like this <span style="text-decoration: overline">Infotix</span> to give Infotix

5)Highlighting the text
--> Insert your text like this <span >Infotix</span> to give Infotix
For different colors type "BLUE","YELLOW" etc...

6)Insert_subscript
--> Type your text like this Infotix._blogspot.com to give Infotix._blogspot.com

7)Insert^superscript
--> Type your text like this Infotix.^blogspot.com to give Infotix.^blogspot.com

Have you ever wondered how a blog or website looks in different Internet browsers(Firefox,IE,Opera,Safari)and Operating Systems(Linux,Windows,Mac). Browsershots provides the free open-source online service that provides you with all screen shots of particular URL .
There is also another website Browsercam.com similar to BrowserShots but it offers only 24 hours free trial whereas later is absolutely free. But you have to wait for approximately 35-45 mins to view any URL's screen shots.

Here is a very basic solution to write HTML code inside your blog posts like <span>Infotix</span>.

Just replace < with and > with with in all HTML code.Alternatively you can copy your HTML code and paste at Encode/Decode HTML converter at Centricle and click on Encode to get the code.

Blogger doesn't provide strikethrough text(Infotix.blogspot.com) option but if you want to create it's quite easy.
Just type <strike>Any text</strike> to create Any text.

Blogger.com added a new comment follow feature which enables mailing of all the follow-up comment if you subscribe to it. Though this was already introduced in Wordpress.com long time back but Blogspot has introduced it few days ago.

I don't know whether it is mentioned in other site or not but today I found a small tweak.I have tested this with blogger.com but don't know whether it will work with normal sites or not.
Many a times you want to find a particular keyword in a blog and moreover that blog doesn't have any search bar(like my blog).In that case you can find that keyword by typing the following code on your address bar.

For example: Keyword= google
http://infotix.blogspot.com/search?q="google"

Blogger has now enabled Direct Video Uploading to your blogs. There is now no need to first upload video to Youtube and all the hassles of pasting the Embed code in your blog post. You can directly upload videos without leaving your Post Editor in Blogger and the videos are uploaded to Google Video and the code placed in your blog post automatically. Morever after uploading the video it is automatically converted into a video podcast.
It will help if you enable the enclosure links for podcasting.To turn on enclosure links, just go to Settings --> Formatting and set the “Show Link fields” option to “Yes.” This will add the enclosure link fields to your post editor.
