Tell a friend button in your blog posts

Go to tellafriend.com and click on ‘Sign up.’ On the page you will find the button(you don’t have to sign up for it) Select your blog type (Like blogger), select the button and get the code.


Now go to your blogger Dashboard > Layout > Edit HTML.


Now click on the ‘Expand widgets template’


Search this code,

<data:post.body/>

Add the code after it to show the button below your posts, or add the code before it to show the button above the posts. Simple!

HTML and JavaScript inside blogger posts using custom display boxes

If you are a blogger blogspot platform and want to see HTML code of your blog posts has been difficult, how. You can see that I created them in special boxes for HTML tags and code to remain in one piece inside the post. It is a nice trick blogger platform if you are willing to send signals and tutorials for your readers.

To do this, you have to do two simple steps

Step 1

You have to add a special code inside your blogger template. Go to your blogger Dashboard > Layout > Edit HTML. Now hit CTRL+D on your keyboard and search this tag,

 ]]></b:skin> 

Now you have to add this code above that code,

pre
{
background:#efefef;
border:1px solid #A6B0BF;
font-size:120%;
line-height:100%;
overflow:auto;
padding:10px;
color:#000000 }
pre:hover {
border:1px solid #efefef;
}
code {
font-size:120%;
text-align:left;
margin:0;padding:0;
color: #000000;}
.clear { clear:both;
overflow:hidden;
}

Now it will look something like this,

After you done it, click the “Preview” button to see if your blog shows or not. If everything’s okay, then click, “Save template“


Step 2

Now each time you create a post and you need to add some HTML codes inside your post, you have to convert it into escapable characters. For this go to this tool called Quick escape and insert your code. Click, “Convert to escaped character” the converted code will be different than the original.

Now create a new blog post and add the converted code. You have to enclosed the code with a “pre” tag(marked as blue) For this I’ve added the same code twice. One normally and the other one with the hack.
Publish your post and see the magic! The normal code showed up with the effect but the hacked on remained intact inside the table.

Drag and drop attachments from Gmail to desktop

A few months ago Gmail introduced a new feature which made it very easy to add attachments by drag and dropping attachments onto your email. The feature was simply drag and dropping these attachments from your desktop or a folder on your compter onto your browser which had Gmail open.

Now Gmail recently announced that you can do the reverse that is move a attachment from your email onto the desktop.


This actually improves the Email experience and makes the usual Email clients quite useless. I like this features as often you end up looking at downloading or opening a file as a Google Document. This way I can just download it on my desktop and look it up.

If I want to use it for another mail, I just need to drag and drop it back into the mail I am composing.

This is a great way to make a browser interface more and more in line with the window interface. Especially when it comes to handling files.

Lately Gmail has introduced quite a few changes including rich text editors for stylish signatures, Google Maps integration with Gmail and more.

Do try out the new reverse drag and drop attachments feature on Gmail and drop in your comments with your views.

Gmail to see all unread messages together

It is always a good idea to read and respond to all your incoming mails as soon as possible. However more often than not we do not manage to read all the messages due to time constraint. When you get the time to go through the messages the read and unread messages get mixed up and it becomes quite cumbersome to browse through the pages looking for the unread messages. Even then you run the risk of missing some important message.

As usual the engineers at Google have provided a really simple trick to get all the unread messages together so that you can go through them without any problem. Type one of the following search strings into gmail search box and hit enter.

1. label:unread in:inbox
2. label:unread label:inbox

Alternatively you may use the advanced search feature of gmail to see all the unread messages together.

Go to the gmail advanced search screen.
There is a drop down on the search box. Select the option ‘unread mail’ from the dropdown (see the dropdown)
Hit search and you shall have all the unread messages at one place.

Transfer emails between two Gmail Accounts

Recently, a friend of mine created a new Gmail account that included her full name instead of a generic screen name she had been using for the last several months. She called me up and ask me how she could move emails from one Gmail account to another.

After fiddling around with it a bit, I figured it out and it’s not very hard. Of course, it would be cool if Gmail just had a button called Import that let you connect to your old Gmail account and import all the emails, but it’s not that simple.

In order to move emails from one Gmail account to another, you have to follow the steps below:

Step 1: First, log into the old email account (current one you are using) and click on Settings, then Forwarding and POP and choose Enable POP for all mail. Make sure to click Save Changes at the bottom.Step 2: Now log into the new email account and click on Settings again. Then click on Accounts and click the Add a mail account you own link.

Step 3: Now type in the old Gmail email address into the text box and click Next.

Step 4: Now type in the password for the old email account and choose pop.gmail.com from the POP Server drop down list. Click Add Account.

Step 5: Next you’ll be asked if you want to be able to send email as oldaddress@gmail.com. This is useful if you want the mail to come into the new account, but be able to respond using the old email address.

Step 6: Type in your name for the old email address and choose whether you want the reply address to be the old address or you can optionally change it to the new one, which is a good idea so that people will eventually stop writing to the old address.

Step 7: Finally, you will have to verify that you actually own the old email address by clicking the Send Verification button. You can then log into your old email account and copy the confirmation code in the email. Paste that into the appropriate box. Click Verify.

Step 8: Now just sit back and watch all your emails get imported into the new Gmail account. If you have a lot of emails, it could take several hours, so be patient!

So that’s all the steps required to transfer emails from one Gmail account to another. If you have any questions, post a comment! Enjoy!
