How To Add The Blogger “Read More”

2011-05-23T10:03:00.000-07:00

This is a pretty popular Blogger hack that lots of people have asked me about. Instead of answering to each email individually, I thought it would make more sense to write an article about it.

With this hack, you can choose to display a select amount of text from the beginning of each post as a teaser instead of showing the entire post on the front page of your blog. Then when people want to read the rest of the post, they can click a “read more” link to see the full post. This is very handy if you have lots of long articles all on one page. (Note that you’ll need to have post pages enabled in order to make this feature work.)

Step #1 - Update Your Template Code

First you need to edit your existing code so I recommend copying and pasting it into notepad or any text editor. Also, it’s smart at this point to create a backup of your template just in case something goes wrong. Now do a search (CTRL + F) within the text editor for the following code post-header-line-1. This is the default code that Blogger includes but some custom templates remove or change this code so you might have trouble finding it. If you can’t locate this text then try searching for <data:post.body/> instead. Your template will for sure have this since it’s the tag that actually prints the body of your post.

Now depending on which code you were able to find will determine how easy the next steps will be. You might need to do some detective work first in order to get this working properly in your custom template. The idea is to get this new code into your template before the <data:post.body/> tag. Keep reading and hopefully the explanation will illustrate the concept clear enough so you are able to adapt this hack to your custom template.

Add the following code below the <div class=’post-header-line-1′/> and <div class=’post-header-line’> tags if you’ve got both.

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>

<style>.fullpost{display:inline;}</style>

<p><data:post.body/></p>

<b:else/>

<style>.fullpost{display:none;}</style>

The result should look something like this:

If you don’t have the default <div class='post-header-line-1'/> tag then your result should look something like this instead. This is how it would be done in the MushBlue Blogger custom template:

Notice in both examples that the code in yellow and the <data:post.body/> tags are the same — it’s just tag above it that will differ based on the template you’re using.

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "item"'><br />

<a expr:href='data:post.url'>Read more...</a>

</b:if>

</b:if>

Yes, there are supposed to be two </b:if> tags in the above code so don’t think it’ s a mistake. The result should look like this:

This code will be the same no matter what template you are using. Just make sure it goes below the <data:post.body/> as shown in the image above.

Now let’s look at what the final result should be. Here’s the updated code block you just worked on all put together:

Ok, you’re all done editing the template code. Paste it back into your Blogger html window and save it. If you get an error, you made a mistake. The most common mistake is to accidentally delete a > or < while pasting in the new code. If it saved successfully, it’s time to move onto the next step and modify a quick Blogger format setting.

Step #2 - Add a Class Tag in Your Default Post Template

For this step, you need to navigate in your Blogger account to “Settings” => “Formatting” and scroll all the way down to the bottom. It’s the last option called “Post Template”. You’re going to paste in the following code:

<span class="fullpost">

</span>

You’ll want to keep the spaces in there which will make sense later. After you save this, it will look like this:

Step #3- Create a New Post

OK, we’ve got everything all setup so it’s time to go and test it out. Hopefully you’ve got a new post in mind for your blog. If not, then we’ll just create a test post which you can later delete. When you click on the “Posting” tab, you’ll notice that the post text area is now pre-populated with the <span class=”fullpost”> and </span> tags. If not, then you didn’t save it properly so go back and re-read step #2.

So when writing your new post, anything you put above the <span class=”fullpost”> tag will be the teaser text. The main body of your post needs to go in between the <span class=”fullpost”> and </span> tags in order for the “read more…” link to work properly. See the screenshot below. Sometimes pictures illustrate better than words.

Now publish or preview your post to see the “read more” hack working on your blog. If it doesn’t show up for some reason, go back and run through the steps again. Most likely you pasted the code blocks in the wrong places. It’s difficult to troubleshoot these issues since each template can be unique so please make sure to double-check your template before asking for help in the comments section below.

Here’s the live post with the “read more…” link properly working based on the text I used above in the post text area.

Additional Info...

If you want to go back and update your old posts with this new “read more…” feature you can. Just go back and edit each post manually. Essentially you’ll need to paste in the <span class=”fullpost”> and </span> tags breaking apart the post into two parts.

For some posts, you might not want to use this feature at all. If that’s the case, just delete the <span class=”fullpost”> and </span> tags from within your new post text area. Then your new post will show up entirely just like it used to before you implemented this hack. Enjoy!!

Turbo C++4.5

One of the best development environments for C++ in the 90's.

It is thought that the first programing language appeared during the 40's. A lot has happened since then, and if in the beginning programing was nearly exclusively reserved to a scientific or military environment, nowadays its use is a lot more extended.

  During the 90's a programing language created quite a few years before in the Bell Laboratories became popular in universities and companies, we are talking about the C programing language, that not long after was substituted for C++ with which it was possible to manipulate objects.

  Turbo C++ is an integrated development environment (IDE), developed during the decade of the 90's byBorland, that allows to compile the code file programed in C++ (.cpp), even though it is also compatible with the .c extension. The first version only worked on MS-DOS, nevertheless, not long after it appeared the 3.0 and 3.1 (considered the most stable) that already works on Windows.

  The last release of this sturdy compiler was the 4.5. Finally, in the mid 90's, Turbo C++ was substituted by other more modern compilers like C++ Builder.

  Turbo C++ 4.5 offers a humble graphic interface from which to develop small applications and carry out the compilation process to be able to obtain the executable files. In comparison with earlier versions, it has the advantage of being able to use the mouse to move around the menus and to select the options.

  If you want to recall your first “Hello World”, download the last available version of this classic C++ compiler from Malavida.

  Requirements: This download requires a ZIP compatible compressor. It is necessary to register the application during its installation.

  Note: It works on Windows Vista or earlier. This is a trial version with limited functions.

Cryptography

2011-05-05T04:15:00.000-07:00

What is Cryptography?

According to the Oxford English Dictionary cryptography is, "A secret manner of writing ...

intelligible only to those possessing the key; also anything written in this way. Generally, the art of

writing or solving ciphers." A secret code used in cryptography is called a cipher, the process of

using a cipher to turn a plain document into a secret text is called encryption, and the reverse

process is called decryption. decryption

Read more....

Encryption
The word "encrypt" means to hide, or to make secret. The earliest forms of cryptography (which just means "secret writing") used simple ciphers to turn ordinary text into unreadable nonsense.

Decryption

You use encryption to ensure that information is hidden from anyone for whom it is not intended, even those who can see the encrypted data. The process of reverting ciphertext to its original plaintext is called decryption.

How to encrypt password...

The password is "softracks"...

To encrypt go to: http://www.crypo.com/eng_base64e.php and enter password which is "softracks" in the text box. then click on "Encrypt" to get the encrypted password. which is "c29mdHJhY2tz".
Now, Reverse the string obtained by step 1, go to: http://string-functions.com/reverse.aspx and enter the string in the text box and click on "Reverse", which is "zt2YhJHdm92c". Copy the converted string.
Now, Encrypt the string with Hex, go to: http://www.string-functions.com/string-hex.aspx and enter string copied in step 2 then click on "Convert" to convert the string into Hex, which should be look like this "7a743259684a48646d393263". This is your encrypted password.

How to decrypt password...

your encrypted password is "7a743259684a48646d393263". Now to get the actual password follow the steps.....

Go to: http://www.string-functions.com/hex-string.aspx and enter the encrypted password, then click on "Convert" to get the decoded string.
Now, go to: http://www.string-functions.com/reverse.aspx to reverse the string, reverse it and copy the reveres string.
Now, decrypt the password, go to: http://www.crypo.com/eng_base64d.php enter the string, click on decrypt. Now you get your actual password which is "softracks".

What is steganography ?

Steganography is the hiding of a secret message within an ordinary message and the extraction of it at its destination. Steganography works by replacing bits of useless or unused data in regular computer files (such as graphics, sound, text, HTML, or even floppy disks) with bits of different, invisible information. This hidden information can be plain text, cipher text, or even images. The most popular method for hiding data in files is to utilize graphic images as hiding place.

Steganography Tools
There are a vast number of tools that are available for steganography. An important distinction that should be made among the tools available today is the difference between tools that do steganography, and tools that do steganalysis, which is the method of detecting steganography and destroying the original message. download free steganography tools from here.

*HTML

2011-04-06T11:00:00.001-07:00

What is HTML ?
HTML, which stands for 'Hyper Text Markup Language', is the predominant markup language for web pages. HTML is the basic building blocks of webpages.HTML is written in the form of HTML elements consisting of 'tags', enclosed in angle brackets (like <html>), within the web page content. HTML tags normally come in pairs like <h1> and </h1>. The first tag in a pair is the 'start tag', the second tag is the 'end tag' (they are also called 'opening tags' and closing' tags'). In between these tags programmers can add text, tables, images, etc.

HTML is a computer language devised to allow website creation. These websites can then be viewed by anyone else connected to the Internet. It is relatively easy to learn, with the basics being accessible to most people in one sitting; and quite powerful in what it allows you to create.

How does it work ?
HTML consists of a series of short codes typed into a text-file by the site author - these are the tags. The text is then saved as a html file, and viewed through a browser, like 'Internet Explorer' or 'Netscape Navigator' etc. This browser reads the file and translates the text into a visible form, hopefully rendering the page as the author had intended. Writing your own HTML entails using tags correctly to create your vision. You can use anything from a rudimentary text-editor to a powerful graphical editor to create HTML pages.

HTML is considered as a universal language to design web pages. It is machine independent, which means it can be used on all type of computer and can be read by all browsers. HTML involves no programing. It is a way of organizing the layout of a web page and defining the hyperlinks so that it can be displayed by a browser.

History of HTML
HTML was invented in 1999 by Tim Berners Lee, a scientist at CERN, Switzerland, at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics . The purpose was to make it easier for scientists of different universities to gain access to each other's research. Tim laid down the foundation of the World Wide Web.

Elements in HTML
A HTML document is made op of text, headings, paragraphs, tables, horizontal lines, lists, etc. These are known as the elements of a HTML document.

Tags and Attributes
A HTML page also has elements called Tags and Attributes which are marks that are embedded in the text. These elements define the appearance of the page and decide how the page will appear in the browser. Browser are able to understand the formating specification given by the Tags and Attributes.

Tags in a HTML page
A tag consist of a left angle brackets (<) and a right angle brackets (>). The specification given to the browser are written within the brackets. There are two type of tags - Container tags and Empty tags.

1. Container tag
Container tags are used in pairs and have a starting and ending tag. These tags define how the matter contained within them should be formatted. for example to make a line of text bold we use the tags <b>.......</b>
   Tags are not case sensitive. so <b>........</b> is the same as <B>.......</B> but the correct way is to type them in lowercase.

2. Empty tags
Empty tags have only a tarting tag. Empty tags give formatting consisting construct like line breaks <br>, horizontal rule <hr>. etc.

Structure of a HTML document
The basic structure of any HTML document is

<html>
   <head>
   <title> This is the title of the page </title>
   </head>
   <body>
This is where the contents of the page are to be written.
   </body>
</html>
Let us study the elements of a HTML document in detail.

How to Create a HTML document

Creating and Saving a HTML File

*What is "IP" Address

2011-04-06T04:50:00.000-07:00

"IP" stands for Interne Protocal, and IP address means Internet Protocal address. Every device connected to the public Internet is assigned a unique number known as an Internet Protocol (IP) address. Therefore an Internet Protocal is part of the systematically laid out interconected grid that governs online communication by identifying both initating device and various Internet destinations, thereby making two way communication possible.

IP Address consist four numbers, each of which contains one to three digits with a single dot (.) separating each number or set of digits. Each of the four numbers can range from 0 to 255. Here's an example of what an IP address might look like: 78.125.0.209. This innocuous looking group of four numbers is the key that empowers you and me to send and retrieve data over our Internet connections, ensuring that our messages, as well as our requests for data and the data we've requested, will reach their correct Internet destinations. Without this numeric protocol, sending and receiving data over the World Wide Web would be impossible.

Would u like to know your IP address
Would you like to know what is your IP address, to know your IP address go to whatismyipaddress.com ,

or

1. Click on Start
2. Click on RUN

3. Type cmd or command and then press ok

4. Then type 'ipconfig' and press enter key on your keyboard.
5. Your ip address will be displayed.

*What is Hacking ?

2011-04-05T21:53:00.000-07:00

Hacking is authorized or unauthorized use of computer and network resources. hacking is the act of gaining access without legal authorization to a computer or computer network. A hacker first attacks an easy target, and then uses it to hide his or her traces for launching attacks at more secure sites. The goal of an attack is to gain complete control of the system (so you can edit, delete, install, or execute any file in any user’s directory), often by gaining access to a "super-user" account. This will allow both maximum access and the ability to hide your presence.

What Are "Hackers" ?

What Are "Crackers" ?

A cracker is the one who does cracking. Cracking is the act of breaking into a computer system, often on a network. A cracker can be doing this for profit, maliciously, for some altruistic purpose or cause, or because the challenge is there. Some breaking-and-entering has been done ostensibly to point out weaknesses in a site's security system.

The Word "Hacker" Means

To the popular press, "hacker" means someone who breaks into computers. Among programmers it means a good programmer. But the two meanings are connected. To programmers, "hacker" connotes mastery in the most literal sense: someone who can make a computer do what he wants—whether the computer wants to or not.

To add to the confusion, the noun "hack" also has two senses. It can be either a compliment or an insult. It's called a hack when you do something in an ugly way. But when you do something so clever that you somehow beat the system, that's also called a hack. The word is used more often in the former than the latter sense, probably because ugly solutions are more common than brilliant.
