Now Gtalk as an feature of AutoReplying..

As many of you are aware, I was not much into online activities since quite long time because of my academic exams and as such, I always needed something that will help me out conveying this message to as many people with minimum efforts. Setting auto replies in my Gtalk account was one of the best way of letting my friends know about my activities and then I found various ways of setting automated replies for my Gtalk friends that I am going to discuss here in this post.Ways to set auto reply:

Gtalk auto reply client

I will now, one by one, discuss all the above 3 tricks and let you know the ways of using them

Digsby:

I guess, many of you must have used Digsby at least once. Digsby is one of the most used Gtalk client that even supports many other IM networks, and it is also in the recommended list of apps here on Devils workshop. So how one can set auto reply using Digsby? Just follow steps after downloading and installing Digsby onto your computer:

As shown on the screenshot below, right click on the tray icon of Digsby (of course after installing it) and go to preferences
Go to status tab and check “Auto respond with status message” option
Now whenever you set your status message with ‘Busy’ status, then any one who pings you will get a reply with the message you had earlier set as your status.

And here is how, if any one who pings you will be auto responded with your predefined status message:

This is one of the best trick to auto reply, but the only disadvantage in it is, your computer will have to be always switched on to auto reply with digsby running to auto respond. But there’s another service that we will discuss next, using which, you can set auto reply and it doesn’t matter whether your computer is switched on or not! ;-)

Answer.IM

This is the another method to auto reply your Gtalk contacts, in fact this could be the best auto responding tool, if you want your Gtalk account to respond with a pre-defined message even when your computer is turned off. Also, for using this auto responder, you need not download any software onto your PC. Just login to answer.im and give your Gtalk login credentials to start using this auto responder service.

For setting up auto response in Answer.IM, have a look on our previous post: Answer.Im: Answering Machine for your Instant Messengers!

Gtalk Auto reply tool

Another tool is Gtalk auto reply software that works similar to Digsby though, unlike digsby, it doesn’t have support for chatting with online friends. You need to download and install the client on your system and it will keep responding to your friends automatically whenever they pings you. You can get this tool here.

Which tool is best for you?

Well, I prefer using both of them (Digsby and Answer.im) and unfortunately I could not make the third tool working on my system (many of my fellow bloggers could use it successfully though). You may use either of the tool depending on your situation. If you like your IM accounts to auto respond for 24×7 then you may try answer.im else digsby is a great tool too!

Lost The Image Quality When Zooming? Try This

Have you ever tried enlarging an image and then it became blur? I tried many years ago but I never found a way to enlarge it without losing image quality.

SmillaEnlarger enables you produce quality enlargements of your digital photos (enlarge photos without losing quality). It enables you to convert a low resolution image into a high resolution copy while maintain as much of the details as possible and minimizing image distortion.

Enlarge Photos without Losing Quality

how to enlarge photos without losing quality

You can also clip a portion of your photo and create a high quality crop with the same or higher resolution than the original. SmillaEnlarger offers several adjustment options and an instant preview to inspect the results. The program produces very good results, however the interface and usability features (or lack thereof) require a bit of a learning curve - there is not `Save` button, the program saves a copy automatically; you have to select an entire folder before you can select an image… and several other oddities.

Latest Trend In Keyboards

While this keyboard would be pretty hard for any hunt-and-peck typist to use, it really is a great way of showing the power of some brands. The speed at which your mind can connect the lips logo with the Rolling Stones and R, or the swoosh with Nike and N is pretty striking. Lacoste took me a second, along with a couple others, but by and large these logos are pretty much adequate replacements for the letters of the alphabet. They’re just symbols, after all.

Get Rid Of Image Size Limit In Blogger.com

If you are a regular reader of Blogger Tricks, you probably know that previously I had many problems hosting my template images. A year back, I used photobucket to host my template images.. but, the problem with photobucket and many other free image hosts is their bandwidth limitations. Once, you exceed a specific amount of bandwidth, your images won't show, instead.. an irritating ' bandwidth exceeded' image shows. Next, after that I tried to create.. like a new photobucket account per each template.. but, that also exceeded in a matter a couple of weeks.

Not only me, my other blogger template designers are also struggling to find a reliable, free image host with unmetered bandwidth.
I tried to upload the images to blogger and copy the image url from the status bar and use it in templates.. but it didn't worked. But, recently I came to know that we can actually host the images( large) in blogger and hotlink,use them in templates, forums,etc.
Here is the trick..
As usual, create a new post in blogger and upload your template images to that post... but don't publish it... keep it as a draft.
Once you completed uploading all the images, Open each image in a new window.

Once, the image is loaded in the new window, what I previously did was to copy the image location from the status bar and paste/hotlink it in templates. But, it didn't worked!

Now, the trick is, many people don't know that the url which we copy from the status bar is not exactly the direct link to that image file... that's why we can't hotlink to that image.
So, what we have to do to hotlink to that image is Right Click on the image and ' Copy Image location'. (for firefox users). For Internet explorer users, Right click on the image and go to Properties and then copy the image url from there.

Example:
For the above picture, status bar shows...
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBiuTFH85QM4bNsFiHIEuSuaznVqvDY0Q8ycwnXr6QIjORJZ035V6gdvLftxqQpH3N-OvVeEAGcdv1yo4x2Wm2hb03CBESV93_w3N7nAhDdYlHJm2ajcKdlcYbZhc4hRTu-RT4b2OmmUFD/s1600-h/2008-05-28_124414.jpg
which don't work.
And the Real image url we get after right clicking and copying image location is..
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBiuTFH85QM4bNsFiHIEuSuaznVqvDY0Q8ycwnXr6QIjORJZ035V6gdvLftxqQpH3N-OvVeEAGcdv1yo4x2Wm2hb03CBESV93_w3N7nAhDdYlHJm2ajcKdlcYbZhc4hRTu-RT4b2OmmUFD/s1600/2008-05-28_124414.jpg
Which works and we can do whatever we want.. with unlimited bandwidth :D
Hope this trick will be useful to many people who are searching for unlimited bandwidth image hosts.

Snaps Of Online Microsoft Office

I got hold to Office Professional 2010 today and installed it on my machine now. The first feel I got was,“WOW, I have it with me now !!".
The performance has improved significantly when compared to Office 2007(office 12). The ribbon buttons are more clean and neatly arranged and it pulls you to use them.

Really Funnntasssttiiicc!!!
In this article, let’s look at some cool things in Word 2010.
You can also request for a Technical Preview here.
The first thing which I observed was the, Office logo design was changed, the one which is in the left top corner.

Hold a min... This is not only a design change, but it does a lot more stuffs than expected. It gives a detailed menu options now.

You do have a paste preview option, when you paste in some content, you can now preview how it will look depending on your choice, making it much less likely to undo a paste option. Hover your mouse over each option, and you'll see the effect that using that option will have on the operation.

There are also nice photo editing tools, accessible via the Ribbon. Select a photo or picture and make it the way you like. A new "artistic effects” feature is added.

There are lot more features, but I could just pen down these few. Last but not the least; when you close a document without saving, you get a nice meaningful message. I love this change in MS products since Windows 7.

Office 2010 not only requires the same resources as requested Office 2007 to run, but the same resources to work better. With office 2007 being such a big hit among corporates, can be sure this product would be a hit as well!

You Tube Will Not Open On IE6

Judging by this screenshot taken by an IE6 user who was watching some videos on YouTube, it appears the Google company will be phasing out support for the browser shortly. I don’t have Internet Explorer 6 installed on my computer, so I can’t verify this first hand, but illogical it seems not and a simple Twitter search shows multiple people confirming the news. Heck, some are even downright ecstatic over the news.

The online video behemoth is pointing to ‘modern’ browsers like Google Chrome (twice on the same page even, unsurprisingly), Internet Explorer 8 and Firefox 3.5 as alternatives.

With the impending move, YouTube follows in the footsteps of that other Web 2.0 poster child, Digg, which recently hinted at wanting to cut support for the browser too. Digg’s User Experience Architect Mark Trammell at the time wrote that the site is strongly considering removing essential features like digging and commenting for IE6 users. He explained that while IE6 users make up around 5% of site traffic, it only accounts for 1% of diggs, buries, and comments.

YouTube so far hasn’t officially communicated about the desire to drop support for IE6, but it’s conceivable that like Digg it would rather have its developers spend time optimizing the service for newer, better browsers than wasting man hours on the oft-despised Microsoft browser. We recently reported that Internet Explorer is losing market share to Firefox and Safari at a rapid pace.

Attract Your Blog Visitors

Importance of Blog Design Blogs have increased popularity over this past months. Many people have started to create their personal blogs to express their thoughts and feelings. Internet companies have also started their blogs to inform consumers on the latest product news and reviews.

Many people spend time reading blogs. People read their friend’s blogs, their favorite author’s blogs, blogs on topics that they are interested in, and blogs on product reviews.

Why Blog Design is Important ?

With the increasing popularity of blogging, it is even feared that people rely on blogs to get the latest news. When you have increased traffic on your blog, you should try to keep you visitors coming back and recommending your blog to friends and colleagues.

Here are a few tips to make your blog stand out from the millions of blogs out there that have standard designs.

Customize the Header Banner

The banner usually has the most generic designs that are common to the blogs from a blogging company or service. You can personalize the banner by having a graphic with the dimensions of the banner.

You can also edit the graphic so that it will also include the title of your blog.

Right : An Example from the Hills Blog

Personalizing photos

Importance of Blog Design photos Of course, most of the photos that you will be posting will be your own. However, if you don’t customize the photos before posting them, you may miss maximizing the enhancing benefits graphics can add to the page. Adding photo borders can help the photo stand out from the page.

It can also add to the design of your blog. You can choose a standard border or you can also create your own border which can be associated with your blog’s templates.

Add a favicon

Importance of Blog Design favicon Don’t you think sites with icons on the address bar before the website’s URL are cool? Many people do. These favicons add a professional look to the URL.

There are sites that offer free blog templates, layouts, backgrounds, textures and skins and pre Embedded Favicons. You can make use of these so your blog will not look generic like most of the blogs.

Include RSS feeds

Importance of Blog Design rss This is a cool way to inform people with newsreaders about your blog headlines.

Audio Podcasts & Videos makes your blog more personal. Not only does audio personalizes the blog; it can also keep your visitors coming back. You can try having streaming video tutorials, mp3 file or playlists loading with your blog.

Importance of Blog Design ads If you have signed-up with Google AdSense, which I am sure you would like to do, make sure that the adsense ads are conveniently placed that these will not hinder your readers’ ease in accessing the information on your blog.

Try using these tips and you can definitely increase and retain traffic on your blog.
