Test your website/blog in different browsers

Friday, August 15th, 2008

I know lot of bloggers like me and website owners are concerned about one thing that is…

Is the website compatible on different browsers?

Whenever a webmaster changes the website design or theme or tinker with CSS code. The only question that comes to the mind is the above question.

There are lot of browsers and every one uses the browser they like. As a webmaster, you don’t want the visitor to see a crappy web design. You want to make sure that your website or blog layout is consistent on all browsers.

I found one website BrowserShots.

Using this website you can type in your website url and select any browser of your choice to check how your website design looks.

It is a very useful tool to check and make sure that your website is consistent in most of the popular browsers.

How it works?

Try Performancing Ads instead of Direct Private Advertising

Saturday, August 2nd, 2008

PerformancingAds
I am a regular visitor of Problogger and I found out a new Advertising Network called Performancing Ads. Many bloggers have started enrolling in that network. I also joined there. You know what! I got two 125X125 ad spots booked and are right now served on the right sidebar :) . The third spot is waiting to be booked!!!. It took just 1 or 2 days to get an advertiser using this network.

Something about Performancing Ads. It is ad marketplace. You can join as a publisher or advertiser based on your need. I joined as a publisher. For publishers, you create a region and put the ad slots on your blog and and advertisers go through the marketplace and purchase those spots. The price ads should be setup by you. The price you set is for per week (for ex: I have setup 8$/week). You earn 60% of the price and 40% goes to PerformanceAds. If you’re a “good publisher” by their metrics, then you can claim as high as 90% of the ad price. Ads are booked by the week and payments are transferred through PayPal.

Wordpress 2.6 is out

Wordpress 2.6 is out !!

Wordpress 2.6 Final is released!

This release has fixed lot of bugs and has come up with a lot of new and good features. If you are using Wordpress, i advice you to upgrade it to Wordpress 2.6 now.

Here are the few features that i immediately noticed after i upgraded wordpress to 2.6 version:

  • Theme preview — Theme preview functionality would allow you to see what a new theme would look like on your blog before you activate it.
  • WordPress Auto-Upgrade — There’s been some early progress on incorporating auto-upgrade for WordPress itself into version 2.6.
  • Google Gears support — Now integrated into the WordPress, this feature will allow Google Gears users to experience a faster admin interface, and possibly manage their WordPress blogs while offline (how cool would that be).
  • Plug-in page — You can see a bubble on the top of Plug-ins link. It lets you know the number of plug-in updates available without actually going to the page.

  • Post Revisions — Wiki-style revisions management for blog posts: a cool new power-feature, just announced on the WordPress Development Updates blog.
  • Image Captioning — As pointed out by Michael, The WordPress image on the top left of this post has an image caption, a built-in feature from the going-to-be-final-WordPress 2.6!
