Facebook Like Button

We all love the Thesis WordPress theme, and its multi-functional layout which can be highly customised. And we also love the Facebook Like button, which is in a way Facebook’s answer to the Tweetmeme button. So, why not I show you how to incorporate the Facebook Like button in Thesis WordPress button.

To do this, all you need to do is to go to your custom_functions.php file and open it in an editor. You can have a backup just in case things don’t go according to plan. Now, once you have it opened in an editor [ or in your dashboard editor ], add the following code.

function add_fb_like_btn() {
if (is_single()) { ?>
<div style="float:right; padding-left:3px;"><iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=<?php echo urlencode(get_permalink($post->ID)); ?>&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=false&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:60px"></iframe></div>
<?php
}
else  { ?>
<div style="float:right; padding-left:3px;"><iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=<?php echo urlencode(get_permalink($post->ID)); ?>&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=false&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:60px"></iframe></div>
<?php
}
}
add_action('thesis_hook_after_headline','add_fb_like_btn');

You can customise the layout of the Facebook like button by changing what I have inserted in the

TubeChop

We all love to share YouTube videos don’t we. Especially with the ever growing number of excellent videos on the world’s biggest video database, we always find something or the other which we would rate as amusing or simply a must-watch. But for some impatient ones like me, we always tend to be really excited about the stuff we share. And we want to share a specific portion of a YouTube video. We often even use YouTube videos for referencing – like a particular portion from a video would help an opinion etc etc. You get it. But how do we achieve it. Well, the usual drill was to mention, please refer the video from 2 mins and 40 seconds onwards blah blah! But not anymore. Techkeyla is here to the rescue. Enter – TubeChop. Not only can you edit YouTube videos, but also share it, embed it, and prove your awesomeness.

So how do you actually do it?

Glad you asked. Just go to TubeChop. The text bar on the site, asks for the YouTube video URL. Just paste your desired URL . For our tutorial, we are using this supercute LOLcat video. Once you paste and hit enter, it will ask you to select the start and end points of the video.

Just drag and seek the start and end position bars as required. Easy peasy!!

TubeChop tutorial - Editing LOLCAT video

Once done, hit the Chop It button.  The next page gives you the link, as well as the Embed Code. Howzzat!
The only weakness of this tool is that it does not work with videos which have disabled embedding.

And because you have been so attentive, you get to see this really cute and home-edited version of LOLCATS. Enjoy and happy edited sharing. Cheerio!

Mac Desktop In your Browser – Schmedley

Comments: (0)

Category : tools, web 2.0

Yes you read that right. Okay, if you can’t believe what I wrote, see it for yourself.

Schmedley Web Mac Desktop

Well, it is not a full fledged desktop, but if you are looking for the basic functionalities of a desktop, you get pretty much everything out of the Web version in Schmedley [ visit the link here].

So, there is Weather, Search, RSS, Facebook, Friendfeed, Maps, Stocks, Amazon, Sticky Notes, Bookmarks, Twitter, YouTube and even E-Mail. Everything is configurable in the form of the snazzy widgets as you can see. All you need to do is Register with them. As the header shows, it is in Gamma phase, and I hope the first roll-out will be out soon.

The Movies tab show coming attractions and movie showtimes. The look of your homepage can be customised and the Mac dock at the bottom is very smooth.

Do let us know if you liked this one. Cheerio!

Update: Samsung Galaxy Portal/Spica and Android Eclair/ Froyo

Comments: (1)

Category : android, google

Seriously though. It is a big disappointment that ages after launch, my poor little Android phone – Samsung Galaxy Portal is still stuck with Android 1.5- Cupcake. I mean, it’s ok, but it is just that. It certainly isn’t the fancy Eclair flaunting Droids and Nexus. Hell, it is not even 1.6. Add to that, Google has already launched Android 2.2 – Fro-yo. And we still have no signs of T-Mobile UK showing any indications of when my phone is getting an OS upgrade.

Samsung Galaxy Portal

According to this article from ElectricPig, T-Mobile initially had plans of upgrading the OS for its lineup of Android phones by May. And it is already June, and we have no signs of it at all. The initial plans read:-

The HTC Hero / T-Mobile G2 was supposed to get the Android roll out by end of April to beginning of May, which is yet to happen. The T-mobile pulse mini gets the Android 2.1 flavour on April 23 expectedly, and Samsung Galaxy Portal in late May.

Now since, Hero is still yet to see the Eclair roll-out, are we expecting Galaxy Portal’s rollout to be postponed till eternity as well? Also, 3′s launched Galaxy Portal as well in the UK, and from what I’ve heard, all of them run Android 2.1 out of the box.

And seriously, why not let us jump to Froyo straightaway. By the time we are trying to catch up with 2.1, feels like we are obsolete all over again. Thanks T-Mobile, much love.

[ P.S. I tweeted T-Mobile UK asking about the Eclair rollout, no replies yet, and I am sure they will not be replying either].
