How to add a forum in Blogger blogspot blogs

bandbiography@gmail.com (Djabu) — Sat, 5 Nov 2011 02:08:00 +0700

Google owned Blogger has become an important tool for web publishing. Blogger is easy to learn, customize and is being preferred as a free alternative to professional blogging platforms like WordPress.
Blogger users don’t need to care about the hosting configuration, subscription charges and other associated problems. However, any blogger user has only the option to customize the front end, they are not allowed to install server side web scripts and application to their blogspot or custom domain. This would limit the Blogger users from installing forums, and other useful applications.

The user generated content in forums is free and is an asset. We can create an active community of returning visitors with a little effort and promotion of the Forum. There is no option to install forum scripts like phpBB, VBulletin, etc. in Blogger. However, we can use JavaScript to embed and call external forum services in Blogger pages. Here we have two methods add a Forum in Blogger blogspot blogs.

Add a simple forum in Blogger with Nabble :

Creating a Blogger forum with Nabble is very easy. Nabble is free and it provides a wide variety of options including custom domain name. Go to this link, enter the required forum name, description and click on create a Forum. Now it will take you to the Forum page, which is something like as shown above. Before everything, verify the ownership of the forum using the link shown at the top right side. After that click on embedding options, and copy the JavaScript code to a newly created Blogger page to complete the process. Now users can register and participate in your Forum.

Features of Nabble Forum of Blogger blogspot blogs.

Custom domain: If you are a blogger custom domain user, you can create a a sub domain to include your Nabble forum. Just point the name servers of the domain to Nabble server and include it in the settings.
Sub-forums.
Option for new user registration.
Custom CSS, fonts and other design options.

Embed a social forum in Blogger using Talki :

Talki is much more professional forum script, when compared with Nabble. Users from social websites like Twitter, Facebook, and email services like Google, Yahoo can easily sign-in the forum without out creating a new account. However, the free version of Talki has some limitations on the number of posts displayed and sub-forums. The embedding process is similar to that, we used in the case of Nabble.

Table Of Contents Widget For Blogger

bandbiography@gmail.com (Djabu) — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 11:47:00 +0700

This Widget will act as a "Table of Contents". It will list out each of your blog posts in a styled table. When you hover over the post title, you will see a summary of the post. The Widget also displays the Post dates and labels. It will allow you to sort the posts by title or by post date. I employs a bubble sort algorithm to sort the posts accordingly.

Credits : This Widget was created by Hans of Beautiful Beta . I have tweaked it to fix the 500 post limit

How to Add Table Of Contents to Blogger :

Step 1 - Make a new Page in Blogger with a suitable title
In the page editor, switch to HTML mode, and paste the following code into the Post Editor

<div id="bp_toc">Loading TOC. Please wait....</div>
<script src="http://blogergadgets.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/blogtoc.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/feeds/posts/summary?alt=json-in-script&max-results=500&callback=loadtoc" type="text/javascript"></script>

Publish this Post and view the Page.You will be able to see the TOC, but it would be messed up

Step 2 - So it is time to Style the TOC using some CSS code Go to Design/Template > Edit HTML and Look for

]]>b:skin>

and just above that paste the following CSS snippet

#bp_toc {
  border: 0px solid #000000;
  background: #ffffff;
  padding: 5px;
  width:500px;
  margin-top:10px;
}
.toc-header-col1, .toc-header-col2, .toc-header-col3 {
  background: #ffd595;
  color: #000000;
  padding-left: 5px;
  width:250px;
}
.toc-header-col2 {

Numbered Page Navigation For Blogger

bandbiography@gmail.com (Djabu) — Sun, 23 Oct 2011 13:29:00 +0700

Page Navigation is a really awesome and long awaited feature. You might have seen numbered page navigation on many wordpress blogs(wp-pagenavi by Lester Chan). Muhammad Rias of Techie Blogger had already developed a page navigation system for blogger.It really was an awesome trick which was made at a time when nobody could even think of implementing it on blogger.It had some minor bugs and now Abu Farhan has perfected it and he has now given us the perfect page navigation solution.Here is a little screenshot of what this is all about.

How to create page navigation :

Login to Blogger Dashboard and navigate to Layout > Edit Html
Don’t click the checkbox which says ‘Expand Widget Templates’
Now find

]]></b:skin>

and replace it with :

.showpageArea a {
text-decoration:underline;
}
.showpageNum a {
text-decoration:none;
border: 1px solid #cccccc;
margin:0 3px;
padding:3px;
}
.showpageNum a:hover {
border: 1px solid #cccccc;
background-color:#cccccc;
}
.showpagePoint {
color:#333;
text-decoration:none;
border: 1px solid #cccccc;
background: #cccccc;
margin:0 3px;
padding:3px;
}
.showpageOf {
text-decoration:none;
padding:3px;
margin: 0 3px 0 0;
}
.showpage a {
text-decoration:none;
border: 1px solid #cccccc;
padding:3px;
}
.showpage a:hover {
text-decoration:none;
}
.showpageNum a:link,.showpage a:link {
text-decoration:none;
color:#333333;
}
]]></b:skin>

This is the CSS part which defines the look and feel of the page navigation.You can modify it according to your need

4. Next is the JavaScript part. Find :

</body>

and replace it with :

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "item"'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "static_page"'>
<script type='text/javascript'>
var pageCount=5;
var displayPageNum=5;
var upPageWord ='Previous';
var downPageWord ='Next';
</script>
<script src='http://blogergadgets.googlecode.com/files/blogger-page-navi.v1.js' type='text/javascript'/>
</b:if>
</b:if>

</body>

As you can see,there are some customizable parameters in this code

var pageCount=5;

This code determines the number of posts that would be displayed per page.

var displayPageNum=5;

This code determines the number of additional page navigation numbers that will be displayed on the page.

var upPageWord ='Previous';
var downPageWord ='Next';

These two lines determine the text that would be shown for the previous page and next page respectively.
Now you should have the Blogger Page Navigation working perfectly on your blog. :)

Enjoy

Disturbed

bandbiography@gmail.com (Djabu) — Sat, 23 Jul 2011 16:00:00 +0700

Disturbed is an American Metal band from Chicago, Illinois. The band formed on 1996 when musicians Dan Donegan, Steve "Fuzz" Kmak, and Mike Wengren hired David Draiman as their singer. Since the band's formation, they have sold over 13 million albums worldwide,

making them one of the largest grossing metal bands in recent years. The band has released five studio albums, four of which have consecutively debuted at number-one on the Billboard 200.

In 2011, David Draiman stated that the band will not be touring in 2012 and will go on an indefinate hiatus.

Asylum (2010–present)

bandbiography@gmail.com (Djabu) — Sat, 23 Jul 2011 07:20:00 +0700

In an earlier interview, David Draiman briefly talked about the band's fifth studio album, stating that the album will be as dark as their previous album, Indestructible, if not darker. Draiman also stated that the album is "still identifiably Disturbed, but showing more maturation."

Song-writing for the fifth studio album began in late 2009. In an earlier interview with Mike Wengren and John Moyer, it was stated that, judging by Draiman's feelings on the last few years of his life, that Disturbed's new album will be aggressive, angry, and "hard-hitting", but will be similar musically to their album Believe. Wengren also said that the new album may be released in the spring or summer of 2010. Additionally, Draiman has confirmed that a DVD is in the works. A countdown clock appeared on the band's website, which ended on January 12, 2010 at 5:00 p.m. EST, and a trailer for the upcoming DVD, titled Decade of Disturbed, was revealed.

In an interview in July 2009, with FaceCulture, Draiman stated that the upcoming DVD will be "chronicling the past decade of Disturbed's existence. It's meant to show our growth over the course of the decade." He also talked more about the upcoming fifth album: "A couple of [song riffs] that Danny has come up with are really amazing. But they're just little pieces...it's not even in two-three part progression."

A few months later on March 23, 2010, the band released a reissue of their debut album, The Sickness, with the B-side tracks "God of the Mind" and "A Welcome Burden", updated artwork, as well as remastering and remixing the track list. It was also available for the first time in vinyl format. On February 26, 2010, Harmonix announced a second Disturbed pack for download on the Rock Band music store, containing the 2010 remastered versions of "Voices", "The Game", and "Meaning of Life".

On February 8, 2010, it was announced that the band had entered the studio in Chicago, Illinois to begin recording their fifth album, tentatively set for a summer 2010 release. Guitarist Dan Donegan stated that the band had written around 15 to 18 songs. It was later confirmed that the title of the album is Asylum. The band released a cover of heavy metal band Judas Priest's song "Living After Midnight" for the Metal Hammer Presents... Tribute to British Steel album.

On April 20, 2010, roughly two months after they entered the studio, Disturbed announced that they had finished recording the album, and were ready to begin mixing the album in Los Angeles, California. As they did with their last album Indestructible, Disturbed stated that they self-produced Asylum. The band has announced that Asylum will be released on August 31, 2010. On July 9, 2010, the track listing was revealed on the band's official website. Asylum debuted at number-one on the Billboard 200.

Disturbed headlined the first annual "Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar" tour with Avenged Sevenfold, as well as Stone Sour, Hellyeah and Halestorm, among others in late summer 2010. Then, in October 2010, it was reported that David Draiman was diagnosed with a "serious throat condition", and the band's U.S. tour had been canceled, as Draiman's healing process could have taken up to four weeks. Around the end of that year, Disturbed had announced that they would be commencing the Music as a Weapon V tour in 2011, co-headlining with Korn and guests Sevendust, In This Moment and Stillwell. In January 2011 it was announced that Disturbed would be headlining the Mayhem Festival, along with Godsmack and Megadeth, for the summer of 2011. February 2011, it was announced that Disturbed would be playing the Download Festival.Disturbed announced that in May 2011, they will be co-headlining the Rock on the Range Festival in Columbus, Ohio.

The band was added to the 2011 MTV Musical March Madness tournament. Defeating former champions Coheed and Cambria, they advanced to the final four but lost to the eventual champions Green Day by a 0.34 margin.
On Thursday, April 28, Disturbed announced that their previously unreleased bonus track off of the Asylum, titled "3", would be available for download off of their website. They said that all proceeds made from the download of the song would go towards the Damien Echols Defense Fund, a benefit foundation supporting the release of the West Memphis Three.

In an recent interview, Draiman announced that not only will Disturbed not be touring their sixth annual Music as a Weapon tour next year, they will not be touring during the year 2012 at all. They will be going on an indefinite hiatus due to personal reasons with each of the band members. Draiman stated, "We're not gonna do our own thing either. This is gonna be the last tour that the American people get to see us in for awhile, if not indefinitely.

We have some things going on internally, we have some personal things going on. So I don't know. It's hard to tell. But I can definitely tell you there won't be a 'Weapon' around next year with us on it. If we end up keeping that brand [and possibly 'leasing' it out to other bands to use]… it has kind of become its own entity, it's something we have talked about in the past, and that's possible. But you're not gonna see a Disturbed tour for awhile”.

Indestructible (2007–2009)

bandbiography@gmail.com (Djabu) — Sat, 23 Jul 2011 07:17:00 +0700

In July 2007, a new track titled "This Moment" was released on the soundtrack to the film Transformers. Disturbed mixed their fourth studio album, titled Indestructible, in Los Angeles, California in late 2007. In an earlier interview, David Draiman said that they were going to record fifteen songs, but only twelve would be on the album.

On March 6, 2008, the band released a thirty second sample of a newly re-recorded version of the song "Perfect Insanity" on their MySpace profile. In March 2008, the song was made available for full download on the band's website, which led to the song receiving some minor radio airplay, and the band playing it live in Kuwait during a special Operation MySpace event.

Indestructible's first single, "Inside the Fire" was made available on digital distribution services for purchase on March 25, 2008. The band also toured in the United States in April and May 2008 with the bands Five Finger Death Punch and Art of Dying. The music video for "Inside the Fire" was released on May 2, 2008 on the band's official website. Disturbed released their previously free song "Perfect Insanity" on iTunes Store as a second single on May 6, 2008, and the album Indestructible become available for pre-order for the release date on June 3, 2008.

On May 13, 2008, Harmonix, the developers of the video game Rock Band announced they had reached a deal with Disturbed and Best Buy to offer two tracks from Indestructible for play in Rock Band to those who pre-ordered the album from Best Buy's website. On June 3, 2008, Harmonix released three tracks from Indestructible; "Indestructible", "Inside the Fire", and "Perfect Insanity". On May 12, 2009, Harmonix released Stricken and Stupify to the Rock Band music store. Disturbed played their first live online concert on May 29, 2008. The concert was sponsored by Pepsi and Deep Rock Drive. They performed in Las Vegas.

Indestructible was released in the United States on June 3, 2008 and in Australia on June 7, 2008 and became the band's third consecutive number-one debut on the Billboard 200. A special "Internet Only" limited edition of the album that includes the B-side track "Run", a making-of DVD with instructional videos, wrap-around poster, VIP laminate, access to special Disturbed events, and a special website with exclusive video, rare audio and more was also released. The band toured in support of the "Mayhem Festival" alongside DragonForce, Children of bodom and Avenged sevenfold during summer of 2008. Disturbed also completed a tour of Australia and New Zealand through August and September 2008.

On September 30, 2008, the band released an iTunes-exclusive live album entitled Live & Indestructible, made up of songs from Deep Rock Drive, as well as the music video for "Indestructible"^]. The band started a tour of Europe, starting in London during October 2008 and finishing during November 2008 in Helsinki. In November and December 2008, Disturbed toured in the United States. The song "Inside the Fire" was nominated for a 2009 Grammy Award in the "Best Hard Rock Performance" category. In March 2009, Disturbed released a music video for the single "The Night".

The band began their Music as a Weapon IV tour in March 2009 and it ended in late May. The tour, also dubbed a "festival", featured the bands Killswitch Engage, Lacuna Coil, and Chimaira on the main stage. The band released a second cover version of Faith No More's song "Midlife Crisis" on the album Covered, A Revolution in Sound, which also included bands such as Mastodon, The Used, and Avenged Sevenfold. This cover of "Midlife Crisis" was originally recorded for Indestructible, but the band decided not to include it on the album.

Ten Thousand Fists (2004–2006)

bandbiography@gmail.com (Djabu) — Sat, 23 Jul 2011 07:14:00 +0700

Disturbed's third studio album, Ten Thousand Fists, was released on September 20, 2005. The album debuted at number-one on the Billboard 200, while also selling around 238,000 copies in the week following its release. The album was certified platinum, shipping 1,000,000 units, in the United States on January 5, 2006.The band toured with 10 Years and Ill Niño in support of the album. Disturbed headlined Ozzfest 2006 along with Ozzy Osbourne, System of a Down, Lacuna Coil, DragonForce, Avenged Sevenfold, and Hatebreed.

In an interview with Launch Radio Networks, Disturbed vocalist David Draiman stated that twenty songs were recorded for the album, but only fourteen made it to the final track listing. The remaining songs included "Hell", which was included in one of the two "Stricken" singles; "Monster", which was included as an iTunes pre-order bonus for Ten Thousand Fists, then later included on the Ten Thousand Fists Tour Edition; "Two Worlds", which was also included on the Tour Edition of Ten Thousand Fists; and "Sickened", which was included in the "Land of Confusion" single.

Ten Thousand Fists is the first album released by Disturbed to feature guitar solos. The band stated that they felt that guitar solos are a part of music that is absent in a lot of modern music, and they wanted to bring some of that back. Songs like "Stricken", "Overburdened", and "Land of Confusion" all feature guitar solos, as well as many others.

In 2006, a European tour was scheduled but had been moved twice due to Draiman having troubles with severe acid reflux, which affected his voice.Draiman commented, "I had been taking Prevacid for about four years and my body built up a resistance to it, to the point where it wasn't doing anything anymore...I had a night of drinking in London followed by a full day and night of drinking on a day off in Dublin, because what else is there to do in Ireland but drink? That, coupled with a show where I had monitor problems, and I pretty much trashed my voice." Later that year, Draiman underwent surgery for a deviated septum which affected his voice. It was successful, and ever since then, Draiman has limited his drinking on the road.

Draiman became involved in the peer-to-peer file sharing controversy by publicly speaking out against the RIAA's lawsuits against file sharing individuals, despite the fact his record label is a member of the RIAA. Draiman commented, "This is not rocket science. Instead of spending all this money litigating against kids who are the people they're trying to sell things to in the first place, they have to learn how to effectively use the Internet. For the artists, my ass...I didn't ask them to protect me, and I don't want their protection." Draiman also told NYRock: "[I'm] Very positive about the internet, Napster. I think it's a tremendous tool for reaching many more people than we ever could without it. When you release music you want it to be heard by people...Nothing is going to do that better than Napster. I can't tell you how many kids have come up to me and said, 'I downloaded a couple of tunes off Napster and I went out and bought the album.'...I don't really make money off of record sales anyway."

In late 2006, Disturbed headlined another one of their own tours named Music as a Weapon III; the bands Flyleaf, Stone Sour, and Nonpoint toured with them. Disturbed completed the first leg of their Music as a Weapon III tour in late 2006. Soon after, Draiman stated that there was not going to be a second leg to the tour and that instead the band was going off the road to start working on their fourth studio album.

Believe (2001–2003)

bandbiography@gmail.com (Djabu) — Sat, 23 Jul 2011 07:11:00 +0700

In February 2001, it was announced that the band had covered the song "Midlife Crisis" for a Faith No More tribute album, however the cover was not used. On June 4, 2002, Disturbed released a documentary DVD about the band, titled M.O.L., which showed some of the band's more personal moments in the studio and during tours, as well as featuring several music videos and live performances.

On September 17, 2002, Disturbed released their second studio album, titled Believe, which debuted at number-one on the Billboard 200. The music video for the first single from the album, titled "Prayer", was pulled from most television stations, due to the similarities it had with the September 11, 2001 attacks. David Draiman recorded vocals for a song titled "Forsaken", a song written and produced by Jonathan Davis of the band Korn, released on Queen of the Damned.

During the Believe record cycle, Mike Wengren mentioned on Decade of Disturbed that he couldn't remember much of this time, that it was a darker time for him and that he used alcohol as a coping skill.

This was mainly due to his mother battling cancer, the tension between him and the rest of the band, and his fiancée at the time leaving him. He also stated that he would use his "Mikey Chronicles", which were of him acting comedic, to numb the problems.

In 2003, the band once again participated in the Ozzfest tour and started another one of their own tours, titled Music as a Weapon II. The bands Chevelle, Taproot, and Unloco toured with them. During the tour, Disturbed debuted an unreleased song, titled "Dehumanized". After Disturbed finished the Music as a Weapon II tour, Steve Kmak was fired by the band because of "personality differences".

He was replaced by John Moyer, who is now the current bass player. On the night Moyer became the band's new bass player, Disturbed played live at the House of Blues and performed two new songs, "Hell" and "Monster", both of which are B-side tracks on the band's third studio album, Ten Thousand Fists.

The Sickness (1998–2000)

After re-naming the band, Disturbed went on to record two 3-track demo tapes, the first having the demos for "The Game", "Down with the Sickness", and "Meaning of life", with the second having the demos for "Want", "Stupify", and "Droppin' Plates". The artwork was composed of the band's recently created mascot, The Guy. The band eventually signed with Giant Records. In 2000, the band released its debut album, titled The Sickness, which launched the band into stardom.

The album peaked at number twenty-nine on the Billboard 200 and it has sold over four million copies in the United States since its release. Before joining Marilyn Manson's 2001 European tour, bassist Steve Kmak was unable to play with the band due to a shattered ankle, caused by falling out of a fire escape outside Disturbed's rehearsal hall in Chicago.

He took the fire escape to exit the building while the elevator was being used to move their equipment downstairs. After a successful operation, doctors highly recommended that Kmak skip the tour to avoid more severe damage to his foot. But he did perform with the band on January 11 and 12, 2001 at Disturbed's show in Chicago.During the European tour, Marty O'Brien replaced Kmak until he was able to tour again.

Early years as Brawl (1994–1996)

Before vocalist David Draiman joined Disturbed, they were known as Brawl. Brawl's lineup consisted of vocalist Erich Awalt, guitarist Dan Donegan, drummer Mike Wengren, and bassist Steve "Fuzz" Kmak. Before changing their name to "Brawl," however, Donegan mentioned in the band's DVD, Decade of Disturbed, that the name was originally going to be called "Crawl"; they switched it to "Brawl", due to the name already being used by another band. Awalt left the band shortly after the recording of a demo tape; the other three members advertised for a singer.

They posted an advertisement in the local music publication in Chicago, Illinois, called the "Illinois Entertainer". Draiman answered the advertisement after going to twenty other auditions that month. Guitarist Dan Donegan commented on Draiman: "You know, out of all the singers that we had talked to or auditioned, he [Draiman] was the only singer who was ready to go with originals. And that impressed me, just to attempt that".

With regard to Draiman being the new singer for the band, Donegan said, "After a minute or two, he just starts banging out these melodies that were huge...I'm playing my guitar and I'm grinning from ear to ear, trying not to give it away that I like this guy, you know, because I don't want to, you know...[say] 'Yeah, we'll give you a call back. We'll, you know, discuss it.' But I was so psyched. Chill up my spine. I'm like, 'There is something here'." As drummer Mike Wengren commented, "We clicked right off the bat." Draiman then joined the band in 1996 and the band was re-named Disturbed. When asked in an interview why he suggested to name the band Disturbed, Draiman said, "It had been a name I have been contemplating for a band for years. It just seems to symbolize everything we were feeling at the time. The level of conformity that people are forced into was disturbing to us and we were just trying to push the envelope and the name just sorta made sense."

Land of Confusion

Song by Disturbed

I must have dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street

Now, did you read the news today?
They say the danger has gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
They're burning into the night

There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there's not much love to go around
Can't you see this is the land of confusion?

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in

Oh, Superman, where are you now?
When every thing's gone wrong somehow?
Men of steel, these men of power
I'm losing control by the hour

This is the time, this is the place
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go around
Tell me why this is the land of confusion

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in

I remember long ago
When the sun was shining
And all the stars were bright all through the night
In the wake up this madness, as I held you tight
So long ago

I won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know we'll never keep

There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there's not much love to go around
Can't you see this is the land of confusion?

Now, this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for

This is the world we live in
And these are the names we're given
Stand up and let's start showing
Just where our lives are going to

Prayer

Song by Disturbed

Another dream that will never come true
Just to compliment your sorrow
Another life that I've taken from you
A gift to add on to your pain and suffering
Another truth you can never believe
Has crippled you completely
All the cries you're beginning to hear
Trapped in your mind, and the sound is deafening

Let me enlighten you
This is the way I pray

[Chorus]
Living just isn't hard enough
Burn me alive, inside
Living my life's not hard enough
Take everything away

Another nightmare about to come true
Will manifest tomorrow
Another love that I've taken from you
Lost in time, on the edge of suffering
Another taste of the evil I breed
Will level you completely
Bring to life everything that you fear
Live in the dark, and the world is threatening

Let me enlighten you
This is the way i pray

[Chorus]

Return to me
Leave me no one
Turn to me
Return to me
Cast aside

You've made me turn away
[Chorus]

Ten Thousand Fists

bandbiography@gmail.com (Djabu) — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 11:58:00 +0700

Song by Disturbed

Survival
Survival

One more goddamn day when I know what I want
And my want will be considered tonight, considered tonight
Just another day when all that I want
Will mark me as a sinner tonight, I'm a sinner tonight, yeah

[Chorus]
People can no longer cover their eyes
If this disturbs you, then walk away
You will remember the night you were struck by the sight of
Ten thousand fists in the air

Power un-restrained and dead on the mark
Is what we will deliver tonight, deliver tonight
Pleasure fused with pain is triumph of the soul
Will make you shiver tonight, will make you shiver tonight, yeah

[Chorus]

We are the ones that will open your mind
Leave the weak and the haunted behind
(We are the ones that will open your mind)
Leave the weak and the haunted behind
(We are the ones that will open your mind)
Leave the weak and the haunted behind
(We are the ones that will open your mind)
Leave the weak and the haunted behind

[Chorus]

Ten thousand fists in the air
Ten thousand fists in the air
