How did my blog look like this?

Customizing your blog template in Blogger is really fun and easy. Well, I have been doing this for years and with all the blogging platforms that I already used, Blogger is the simplest and fastest to customize. The most important part is it is FREE. Some platforms offer customizations to premium users only but Blogger just want the artist in you. I will not run through the steps on how to customize your blog in this article because I will only show you how I achieved my current blog template (hopefully I would not change it). If you want the full guide, you can go here. You might like my template and want to get inspirations from it for your blog, so here it goes.

Remove the Blogger Navbar:

This blog used the Simple Blogger Template the time I created it. From that layout, I decided to hide the Blogger Navbar on top of the blog. Find the code below in your template’s HTML:

<![CDATA[/*

Just below that, you need to insert the codes below in order to remove Blogger’s default Navbar:

#navbar-iframe {
height:0px;
visibility:hidden;
display:none;
}

Click the Save Template button to apply changes.

Changing the Background:

Still in the template menu, click the Customize button. The Blogger Template Designer shows up. Go to background. Select a background image and then choose the first one with the Apple Mac OS X-like wallpaper. Click the Done button to apply the changes.

Changing the fonts:

Still in the Blogger Template Designer, go to Advanced. Look for the Page Text option and choose Verdana.

Click the Apply to Blog button and wait until the “Template Applied” prompt shows up, and then go back to Blogger dashboard.

I might put my own header image later, as for now; the template is neat and user-friendly.

The layout uses two columns just like an ordinary blog. I choose this because I need to show my labels, archive, and the author page to make it more usable.

How to listen to WhatsApp voice message before sending it and read web messages without opening chat

WhatsApp launched a useful feature, which allows you to record a voice message without the need to keep the icon pressed, and in addition, listen to the audio before sending it. At the moment, it is only available for iOS devices (iPhones) and will soon be available for the Android operating system. The audios became one of the main resources to feed conversations on WhatsApp, especially among younger users. But how does this new option work? It is very simple: you have to keep the microphone button located on the right side next to the text field pressed and move it upwards to start recording without the need to keep the icon pressed. When you finish talking, you have to click on contact information (above) and in this way the recording is paused. And then you go back, that is to the field of conversation and you can listen to the audio before sending it. It should be noted that you can continue talking, you just have to do the same, press the button and pull it up again. ...

How to Play CrossFire Philippines like a Pro (Tutorial with video)

CrossFire Philippines is an online first person shooting game which resembles the old CounterStrike. However, this online game has lots of purchasable items and you can create a character or an account which will increase in rank every time you play. Missions and Clan Wars are also key parts of this game in which players could play up to 8 versus 8 persons divided in two teams – blacklist and global risks. SmileGate developed the game from Korea which is known to be a great developer of this sort of games. Neowiz made it available around the globe and Gameclub published it here in the Philippines. This game became very famous and attractive to online gamers because of its graphics quality (realistic environment and effects) and the creation of personal accounts. I believe lots of young ones in the country are getting addicted with this game. What I really love with this game is the ranking. I am now a “Captain” in this game and it always makes me feel good to increase my leve...

How to effectively use Deep Freeze Standard to your computer

I am maintaining an Internet CafĂ© and surely I need software that when I restart a PC unit, it will go back to my decided configuration. This will make my job very easy, avoiding long period of repairs, error fixing, or even virus treatment processes because all I need is to restart the PC and restore it to the condition where it does its best (as I configured it according to my preference). Happily, there is a bunch of software that do function likes this. Deep Freeze is one of them. I choose Deep Freeze and it has become my partner in maintaining 10 of my PC clients. Deep Freeze is software that memorizes your computer’s settings and configuration before you “FREEZE” it and whenever you restart it, it will return the system to its original state. It means total peace of mind because whatever goes wrong, you just don’t bother to even know the problem but just restart the PC and expect that it will be good as new again. Security and Preservation are two strong words that this sof...
