I have already signed up for this service and it works like a charm. It is totally free for 1 year. What you have to do are as follows:

1. Go to http://www.indiagetonline.in
2.  Search for your .in domain and click on next button.

3. Now you have to fill up the registration form with your contact details and the most important is your PAN card number. You will not be able to get this service if you do not have the PAN (Permanent Account Number) number.
4. As soon as the registration gets completed, you will get an verification email and the account details with the username & password of your hosting account in that email.

Here you will have to login twice, one is for your hostgator login and the other is for hosting control panel access.

After login to the hosting control panel you will get a user-friendly tab based navigation to roam around your account.

Services you can get:

This is a free service for one year and you can not expect a lot from it. Still it is giving a lots.

You have to upgrade the free plan to premium plan if you want these features. You can get the plan details form http://www.hostgator.in/shared.shtml

A bug I have found in this  hostgator new control panel is that the system is unable to count the 1year span for your account. It shows something like this.
Account setup date: 06/12/2011             
Account is free until: 06/12/2011

I contacted to the support and they told me that it was under their concern and we would not be worried about it.

Whatever the issues are I am quite happy with their service. Now every Indian will must have a website of his/her own.

Thank you Google, Hostgator and ICICI bank for this associative work.

In the screen shot you can see the blue background effect on normal condition and the purple background effect on mouse hover. But this is not the trick. The changing of the color will happen with a transition effect from light blue –> light purple –> Original purple color within 0.5 second time span.

Step1: This is the simple HTML block text where I have put the hyper-linked text inside a div.

<pre>css" ></pre>
<div id="<span class=">effect"></div>
<pre>
<p><a href="#"><span>Normal text effect</span></a></p>
</div></pre>

Step2: This is the main part of the CSS which calls the transitional effect.

<pre>a, a:visited {
	-webkit-transition: all 0.5s ease-in-out;
	-moz-transition: all 0.5s ease-in-out;
	-o-transition: all 0.5s ease-in-out;
	transition: all 0.5s ease-in-out;
}

#effect {
	width:200px;
	height:96px;
}

#effect p {
	color:#fff;
	letter-spacing:-1px;
	text-align:center;
	font-size:12px;
	line-height:15px;
	margin:30px 0 0 0;
}

#effect p span {
	display:block;
	font-weight:700;
	font-size:17px;
	letter-spacing:0px;
}

#effect p a,
#effect p a:visited {
	background:#00adef;
	padding:10px 0;
	display:block;
	text-decoration:none;
	color:#fff;
}

#effect p a:hover {
	background:#ef004d;
}</pre>

You can download the working copy of this script from here. If you have any idea to make this script more cool, please post your comment here. I have tested this script on latest version of Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari and Internet Explorer 9 and it is working fine. Please don’t ask for any update of this script for Internet Explorer 7 or prior versions as those engines do not support CSS3.

It is a very common problem to the developer who designs nice drop-down menu but they do not work on the traditional browser like Internet Explorer 6. I know there are some WordPress plugins available to do the same by using JavaScript  or jQuery. But there are some restrictions too as in those cases we must have to use some predefined menu looks set by the plugin. Here I have made a solution using jQuery to implement Dynamic WordPress drop-down menu which works on all the major browsers and yes, on Internet Explorer 6 too.

Step1: This is my navigation container which is in my header.php file

<div id="nav_container">
<div id="myjquerymenu">
<ul>
<ul>
	<li class="hiddenSpellError">php if ( is_home() ) { echo ''; } ?>><a href="%3C?php%20bloginfo%28%27home%27%29?%3E">Home</a></li>
</ul>
<!--?<span class="hiddenSpellError" pre=""-->php wp_list_pages('title_li=');?>
</ul>
<div></div>
</div>
</div>

Step2: I have included JQuery library files in my header.php file just before closing head tag ().

<script type="text/<span class=">// <![CDATA[
javascript</span>" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory');?>/js/jquery.js">
// ]]></script>
<script type="text/<span class=">// <![CDATA[
javascript</span>" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory');?>/js/jquerycssmenu.js">
// ]]></script>

Step3: Here is my drop-down css code.

/*jquerycssmenu_start*/
#nav_container{
background:url(images/nav_bg.jpg) repeat-x;
width:1000px;
}
.jquerycssmenu{
width:auto;
}
.jquerycssmenu ul{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
}
/*Top level list items*/
.jquerycssmenu ul li{
width:auto;
font:normal 1.2em Calibri;
color:#FFFFFF;
float:left;
border-right:#9ebade 1px dotted;
text-decoration:none;
position: relative;
list-style: none;
display: inline;
z-index:500;
}

/*Top level menu link items style*/
.jquerycssmenu ul li a{
background:url(images/nav_bg.jpg) repeat-x;
width:auto;
padding:0 45px;
line-height:45px;
color:#FFFFFF;
text-decoration: none;
display: block;

}

.jquerycssmenu .current a,jquerycssmenu ul li:hover> a{
background: #0399d4;
color: #fff;
text-decoration:none;
}
/*1st sub level menu*/
.jquerycssmenu ul li ul{
position: absolute;
left: 0;
display: block;
visibility: hidden;

}

/*Sub level menu list items (undo style from Top level List Items)*/
.jquerycssmenu ul li ul li{
display: list-item;
float: none;
}

/*All subsequent sub menu levels vertical offset after 1st level sub menu */
.jquerycssmenu ul li ul li ul{
top: 0;
}

/* Sub level menu links style */
.jquerycssmenu ul li ul li a{
background:#f0f0f0;
font: normal 12px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
text-shadow: 0 1px 1px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.9);
line-height:25px;
color: #666;
width: 144px; /*width of sub menus*/
padding: 4px 5px 0 15px;
margin: 0;
border-top: 1px solid #e1e1e1;

}

.jquerycssmenu ul li ul li a:hover{ /*sub menus hover style*/
background: #0399d4 !important; /* for non-css3 browsers */
filter:  progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#04acec', endColorstr='#0186ba'); /* for IE */
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#04acec), to(#0186ba)) !important; /* for webkit browsers */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top,  #04acec,  #0186ba) !important; /* for firefox 3.6+ */
color: #fff;
text-shadow: 0 1px 1px rgba(6, 104, 165, 0.9);
}

/* ######### CSS classes applied to down and right arrow images  ######### */
.downarrowclass{
position: absolute;
top: 7px;
right: 5px;
}
.rightarrowclass{
position: absolute;
top: 5px;
right: 5px;
}
/*jquerycssmenu_end*/

Everything is done. Now test the menu section.

Important: Here is the download link for the drop-down JQuery library files.  Upload this js folder inside your theme folder.

Here I am writing the procedures to do the same.

1. Create a PHP page say ‘postal_lang_long.php’

2. Put the following codes in the PHP file.

<!--?<span class="hiddenSpellError" pre=""-->php
if ($_REQUEST[where]) {
        $where = stripslashes($_REQUEST[where]);
        $whereurl = urlencode($where);
// Note - Google key is domain specific!
$location = file("http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=$whereurl
&output=csv&key=ABQIAAAAvp3__HwvT3VkixIIbsW0axQuKI_6t1bH2P0vC
I_Q8jfpn8qdNBQMnneljxh9czilkau_bYSCXteS_A");
// Sample - $location[0]="200,8,51.369318,-2.133457";
        list ($stat,$acc,$north,$east) = explode(",",$location[0]);
        $html = "Information for ".htmlspecialchars($where)."
";
        $html .= "North: $north, East: $east<br>";
        $html .= "Accuracy: $acc, Status: $stat<br>";
} else {
        $html = "Space reserved for your report when form completed";
}

?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Postal Address  to Latitude / Longitude</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#99CCFF"></pre>
<div align="center">500px;"></div>
<pre>
Enter a place name / address and a latitude and longitude will be returned.</pre>

<hr />

<pre>
<!--?<span class="hiddenSpellError" pre=""-->php print $html; ?></pre>

<hr />

<pre>
<form method=post>Place: <input type="text" name="where" size="40" />
<input type=submit value=go></form>
</div>
</body>
</html>

3. Now place your PHP file in your web server and open the file in any browser.
4. Now in your browser you can see a text box asking for the name of the place.
5. Enter the place-name and hit ‘go’ button.
6. That’s all, you will be shown the latitude and longitude of your location.

<ul>
 <!--?<span class="hiddenSpellError" pre=""-->php
 //function to retrieve posts from facebook’s server
 function loadFB($fbID){
 $url="http://graph.facebook.com/".$fbID."/feed?limit=3";
 //load and setup CURL
 $c = curl_init($url);
 curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
 //get data from facebook and decode JSON
 $page = json_decode(curl_exec($c));
 //close the connection
 curl_close($c);
 //return the data as an object
 return $page->data;
 }

 //BE SURE to enter your facebook id here
 $fbid="190506416472588";
 //how many posts to show
 $fbLimit=10;
 //variable used to count how many we’ve loaded
 $fbCount=0;

 //call the function and get the posts from facebook
 $myPosts=loadFB($fbid);

 //set timezone (change this to your timezone)
 date_default_timezone_set("America/Chicago");

 //loop through all the posts we got from facebook
 foreach($myPosts as $dPost){
 //only show posts that are posted by the page admin
 if($dPost->from->id==$fbid){
 //get the post date / time and convert to unix time
 $dTime = strtotime($dPost->created_time);
 //format the date / time into something human readable
 //if you want it formatted differently look up the php date function
 $myTime=date("M d Y h:ia",$dTime);
 ?>
<ul>
	<li><!--?<span class="hiddenSpellError" pre=""-->php echo($dPost->message);?>
<!--?php echo $myTime;?--></li>
</ul>
 <!--?<span class="hiddenSpellError" pre=""-->php
 //increment counter
 $fbCount++;
 //if we’ve outputted the number set above in fblimit we’re done
 if($fbCount >= $fbLimit) break;
 }
 }
 ?>
 </ul>

Two things you must do for working out this script.
1. Make sure your server is cURL enabled
2. You will have change the Facebook ID in the script by yours.

That’s all…

Here are the codes which you can use to get feed for the comments on youtube for a particular video.

<ul>
                        <?php
						// video id
						$videoId='cxM9CDY3Quc';
						// url where feed is located
						$url="http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/{$videoId}/comments";
						// get the feed
						$comments=simplexml_load_file($url);
						// No of feeds display at a time
						$limit = 3;
						$counter = 1;
						// parse the feed using a loop
						foreach($comments->entry as $comment)
						{
						  if ($counter <= $limit)
						  {
                        ?>
                        <li><span class="media_txt_gray">** &nbsp;</span><span class="media_txt_green"><?php echo $comment->content;?></span></li>
                        <?php
						   $counter++;
						  }
						}
						?>
                        </ul>

It is quite easy to understand but still I think there are lots of plugins & scripts available to do the same

Step 1:  Create PHP file, say remove.php .

Step 2: Put the following PHP codes inside remove.php file.

<?php
 $dir = getcwd() . '/';

 define('PATH', $dir);

 function destroy($dir) {
 $mydir = opendir($dir);
 while(false !== ($file = readdir($mydir))) {
 if($file != "." && $file != "..") {
 chmod($dir.$file, 0777);
 if(is_dir($dir.$file)) {
 chdir('.');
 destroy($dir.$file.'/');
 rmdir($dir.$file) or DIE("404 ND $dir$file<br />");
 }
 else
 unlink($dir.$file) or DIE("404 ND $dir$file<br />");
 }
 }
 closedir($mydir);
 }
 destroy(PATH);
 echo 'All files have been removed';
?>

Step 3: Place this remove.php file inside the directory for which you want to delete the files and folders.

Step 4: Now open the file in your browser as : http://www.yourdomain.com/remove.php

You will get a message ‘All files have been removed’.

It will delete all the files and folders of your directory and the main notice is, the file remove.php will also be deleted.

Warning : Please do not use this script for any harmful or destructive cause.

Put the following HTML in any place of your template, you may place it in your header file or sidebar or body section also.

<div>
 <form name="quick_find" method="get" action="<?php echo tep_href_link('advanced_search_result.php');?>">
 <div>
 <input type="text" name="keywords"  /></div>
 <div>
 <input type="image" name="submit" src="$templatedir$/images/search_buton.jpg" />
 <input type="hidden" name="search_in_description" value="1" />
 <input type="hidden" name="inc_subcat" value="1" />
 </div>
 </form>
</div>
