Create loading bar design like Gmails loading bar

The famous and eye pleasing design of Google has took over and the designs of Google is getting better and better, recently Google made changes to it's Gmails homepage and the loading page and the most amazing design was of the loading bar, the blue loading bar with moving image in it makes it look more professional, now let's see how to make it. 
Remember that i am only going to show how to make such design with CSS, the rest of the JavaScript coding should be done by you or someone else, i am just showing how to design it.

There's two parts to make this design, the first is a </div> element and the other is CSS style which is required to make the design. The CSS codes can be customized but only play with it of you have knowledge about it. 

First of all create a div element, class attribute's value should be same on both HTML div element and CSS styles. 

<div class='loading-bar'></div>

So this is the HTML for the loading bar, if you are sure how to use it dynamically to sync with a loading event then you might just add the CSS by classing it. Your HTML may differ as on your needs but CSS should match the class name.     


Now the most important part of the tutorial to make it really work, you are allowed to modify the CSS if you are sure about what you are doing or might just leave it. But to create a bar like exactly you want, you have to make changes, so i will tell what changes can you make in the CSS.

background-image: linear-gradient(315deg,transparent,transparent 33%,rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.12) 33%,rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.12) 66%,transparent 66%,transparent);
-webkit-animation: pb 0.8s linear 0 infinite;
-ms-animation: pb 0.8s linear 0 infinite;
-o-animation: pb 0.8s linear 0 infinite;
-moz-animation: pb 0.8s linear 0 infinite;
}

@-webkit-keyframes pb { 0% { background-position:8px 0px; } 100% { background-position:120px 0; } }
@-ms-keyframes pb { 0% { background-position:10px 0px; } 100% { background-position:-100px 0; } }
@-moz-keyframes pb { 0% { background-position:10px 0px; } 100% { background-position:-100px 0; } }
@-o-keyframes pb { 0% { background-position:10px 0px; } 100% { background-position:-100px 0; } }
This is the CSS that will be needed to design the Bar like this from a basic div element, but it's important to change background-position property if you are going to change the width and height of the element. 

So for your ease we have updated this on JSFiddle , just find it on the Demo Link, play with the CSS code there and if you find something better then please comment.

ww4(dot)strongdxgsoft(dot)com Another referrer spam site: Beware !

These days referrer spams are coming up in a huge number, we are strictly against it and want it to be down, but not even Google can do anything about it, but writing has the power to anything, so here's my another post about Referrer spam. Here i am experiencing it myself, so i really really want to write about this. 
One of my post in past was found very helpful for users regarding Referrer spam, ww4(dot)savegco-anitvir(dot)com was a headache to everyone who saw the site in their referrer sites in stats, and innocent people clicked on the link to see where they are getting visitors from but they found nothing there and was attacked by a virus or Malware. But some people were all fine because they didn't clicked on the link. 


The main points of these referrer spam sites are to get a place in your stats so that you would click on their link with curiosity. These referrer spam sites don't refer any visitors in real, it's just their own computer system increasing your pageviews to get a place in your stats so that you will click it, never click these links, it might be dangerous. 


You would be thinking why i wrote another post when i already written it in past, although i was not getting any pageviews from a referrer spam sites, but today a new referrer spam site ww4(dot)strongdxgsoft(dot)com started to show in my stats ! Ok, i didn't clicked on the link but yet i am worried as it's not good to see them in stats, so now beware of ww4(dot)strongdxgsoft(dot)com

beware of ww4 strongdxgsoft

Please beware of this new site of the referrer spam site kind, no one wants to be affected by these spams, from our last post, hundreds of people were saved by these referrer spam sites. There are yet many sites that are unknown but dangerous.  

Here's a list of referrer spam domains that we know 
  1. www4(dot)savegco-antivir(dot)com/
  2. www4(dot)safe-vochecker(dot)com/
  3. hoodiastock(dot)com/
  4. domar(dot)ru/ 
  5. ww4(dot)strongdxgsoft(dot)com
See the full list at here 

As we can't list all the referrer spam sites, doesn't mean that sites that's not in our list is not a referrer spam, recognizing them is easy, they have very complicated links such as '?4u0i...  ' in the URL, you can check the photo, it can be recognized easily, but some don't have these. Only click on links that you know is ok to go on and you know the site is ok. But if you think you have nothing to do with the site in your stat's then just Google it, you will find resources that may help you.

How to make thumbnail and post excerpts display on homepage

This post will show how how to make post thumbnail and post excerpts (summary) on homepage to give your visitors more detailed view about your post, the post excerpts here are more beautiful and well designed in CSS, and your visitors will fall in love with these compact and cool looking thumbnails + excerpts. 

Adding pagebreak to every post is little difficult, everytime you have to set a page break for post to show a summary of post contents on homepage. But if you want it to be done automatically then you have to a little bit of hard work here also. As this post is going to make you play with lots of codes, so i will keep my sentences short.  


There was a time when i also used the page break to only show the summary of my posts on the homepage, but as i learned more about coding and some other web languages, i was able to sort it out and make it easier to show the summary of posts on homepage without adding the page break, but i yet add page breaks because i can't figure out how to run my code on Archive pages and whenever someone access my Archive page, they see post summary that is selected by me with the pagebreak option in the Post Editor.

Let's start

*Before we start, Backup your Template, that if anything went wrong you will have the working Template in your Desktop

*I have only used steps that can be used in New Blogger Interface, so please switch to New Blogger Interface if you don't want to get confused.


This is only the start, I will show you what and where the codes you have to put. We will first start with the HTML that will be used to display post summary.  Remember, if you have already messed up your code without even knowing what you doing then this might not work for you. So only use this tutorial if you have a clean template that's never been tampered. 

Go to your Blogger Dashboard > Template tab > Edit HTML > Proceed >
Now check mark on Expand Widgets Template.Now find press CTRL+F to open a browser inbuilt search bar and search for this line

<data:post.body/>

Now replace the above code with this code

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != &quot;index&quot;'>
          <b:if cond='data:post.snippet'>
          <b:if cond='data:post.thumbnailUrl'>
              <div class='Image thumb'>
                <img expr:src='data:post.thumbnailUrl'/>
              </div>
          </b:if>
            <data:post.snippet/>
          <b:else/>
            <data:post.body/>
          </b:if>
      <b:else/>
      <data:post.body/>
      </b:if>

Now save your template and check your Homepage once, if you have some post showing on your homepage, then it will display the excerpts and the thumbnail, but there might also be some post which will not show thumbnail, because pictures smaller than 300*300 dimension don't display with this code. 

Adding CSS to style the thumbnail

We will have to style it with CSS to make it look more like mine on my blog's homepage.
By adding the HTML code, we can only achieve to show thumbnail and post summary, now we will do more with it. We will add styles to make it look more professional.

Add this CSS to your Template - Go to Blogger Dashboard > Template > Customize > Advanced > Add CSS > In the input area paste this CSS and hit Apply to blog. 


.Image  
{
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 white;
border: 1px solid #CCC;
border-radius: 4px 4px 4px 4px;
box-shadow: 0 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.15);
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
float: right;
margin-left: 20px;
height: 72px !important;
-webkit-transition: background 1s;
}
.Image 
{
width: auto 9;
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;
}

Even now if you think it's not looking well, then you might check this post about how to remove existing shadow from pictures in Blogger 
Now refresh your blog homepage again to check if it's working or not. Check the below section if you want to do more with the thumbnail.



Link the thumbnail to the post

I have myself not used it but some people asked me how to do it and i asked them to wait for a post about it, so here it is. General Blogger users don't know about many of Blogger features, because it's not in GUI (graphical user interface) it's all in code and i love to work with these to experiment new things on Blogger.
How to make it work ? We just need to add some HTML code in the HTML code that we used first. Check this, we have just added an Anchor tag around the img tag to make that Image thumbnail a link to it's Blog post.

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != &quot;index&quot;'>
          <b:if cond='data:post.snippet'>
          <b:if cond='data:post.thumbnailUrl'>
              <div class='Image thumb'>
               <a expr:href='data:post.url'>
                <img expr:src='data:post.thumbnailUrl'/>
               </a>        
              </div>
          </b:if>
            <data:post.snippet/>
          <b:else/>
            <data:post.body/>
          </b:if>
      <b:else/>
      <data:post.body/>
      </b:if>

Just add the tag and done, every thumbnail of all post will link to it's posts automatically adding this tag to the HTML.

Now Enjoy your fully customized post thumbnail and give your visitors a good and pleasant experience that they will like to visit your site again. Good design is important but content is king.

What Apple should change in their site


A short post to give advice to Apple that what they should change in their website, i know the people there are more experienced than me, but it's just an advice that Apple would love reading.
Apple, the leading company in terms of Technology and Gadgets, is the best in every field, no doubt. The apples official site is well designed and looks great with all they have on their website. 
But one minus point of Apple's site is that it takes too much time to load as compared to other sites. Apple uses image in place of fonts to display a gradient type font,but if we use CSS3 in place of image we can get same result with less load time and that's the advantage of using fonts designed with CSS3.


Here you can see what Apple.com uses for font, this image which is 3.4kb in size, which currently Apple use for fonts in their site.




Now if Apple uses this as font on their site then the browser have to download a 3.4kb image, but if we are talking about CSS3 then it will only have to load up 100 Bytes text to create the same effect with the texts, as you can see below.
Resolutionary
Ok, it's not all same, but little more edits from Apple web masters and they can achieve it. Using it is more easy than making photos just for words. The CSS i used is this


div
{
font-family: 'Dosis', sans-serif;
font-size: 90px;
-webkit-background-clip:text;
background-image:-webkit-linear-gradient(top,gainsboro,grey,black) !important;  
color: white;
-webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;
}

The font-family just have to change, as i was not able to find the exact font like the Apple's font, and it's sure that page load speed will be improved.  


This was just a small suggestion from me to Apple about what they can change to make a better experience for the visitors.

      This website have become a headache of many Bloggers, you have probably seen it on your Stats in Referring sites section, but wait, is it ok? are real people seeing your site referring from the site mentioned ? 


      Update : We think these referral spams have now cooled down and it's effects are getting down. But now a new type of spam is rising, so beware of it. You can read about it here http://stramaxon.blogspot.com/2012/07/anonymous-comments-on-blogs-beware-its.html

      No ! It's not all okay, the site is an spam site and contains Malicious viruses, they appear to refer some visitors to your site, but they are not really, it's all their computer which is increasing your Pageviews to get a place in your Stats, and when somebody sees they might just click on it, nothing can be worse than that, clicking on these links are dangerous, if you don't have a good antivirus, then they can do anything means anything. So beware of these spams, not clicking on those links are the only way to get rid of these.

      This is not the only website which is in news for referrer spams, there are more website's that you might see in your stats that may be suspicious, here you can have a list of domains which are not bit famous for referrer spam. 
      1. www4(dot)savegco-antivir(dot)com/

      8. www3(dot)bestbxcleaner(dot)com/
      I have replaced the . with (dot) so that you don't click on any of the links mistakenly and catch a malware or virus from any of these sites. There are more referrer spam sites you might see in your stats, so if you feel the links is not related to your content then just prevent from clicking on the links, as the main aim of these sites are to make you click on their links, if you find any new domain that you think is suspicious, free feel to let us know and we will post the link here.

      Owners of newer blogs, with less established traffic, will see their pageview counts fluctuate more.

      http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/ 2011/09/referer-spam-war- leads-to-fluctuations.html

      Referer spam affects Stats, and similar website activity log summaries - but third party activity logs will be immune to its effects.

      http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/ 2011/10/blogger-magic-third- party-visitor-logs.html

      Be aware how Stats is unique - which leads to this problem.

      http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/ 2012/03/what-does-stats- provide-that-third.html


      Stop clicking on the links in your Stats logs.  That's the only way to make referer spam stop.

      It all started to happen today, if you ask me what it is, my answer will be that it's a bug from facebook plugins code, Facebook is having some problems with their scripts, and thus blog page are showing iFrame on blog pages. The White box is a iframe, which is executed from the Facebook plugins code.


      I came to know about this on Blogger Help Forum, i thought this problem was only of that user, but similar posts were posted by the users, then it was sure that it was problem of the Facebook plugins code after i examined the HTML code of the pages. The iframes are being usually showerd on top of the page. See this screenshot, it's from a blog that was facing the problem.


      The Exact code, that's creating the problem is Facebook's JavaScript SDK, which we need to add to our HTML to show Facebook plugins, not it's gone buggy and creating iframes on Blogger. Removing it may remove the boxes (iframe) from the page, but also disable all Facebook plugin such as Like buttons, comments etc on the Blog. So we will use different method to remove it.

      After seeing more blogs, i saw that the iframe is only showing on which the Facebook like box is being displayed. 


      How to fix it?

      Let's don't waste much time and get to the main point, how to hide it. To remove them permanently from template is little difficult, because it requires you to remove the code from your template which runs Facebook like button and other plugins, so we will hide it with CSS.


      Fortunately, the two iframe have been classed, so we can easily hide it without any difficulties. Follow the Step-by-step instructions.

      1. Log into your Blogger dashboard
      2. Copy this small CSS code
        #fb_xdm_frame_http, #fb_xdm_frame_https {
        display:none !important;
        }


    1. We have to add this CSS, so go to Template tab 




    2. Click on Customize and then select Advanced tab




    3. Scroll down, and click on Add CSS, you will then see a input area, just paste the CSS code there.



    4. We only need the CSS code, the rest of the steps can be seen on my How to add CSS to your blogger tutorial

      If you think, this is not working then please post your Blog address in comments below, we will tryour best to help you.

        Blogger finaly shows Quick Edits on Country Specific Domains too !

        Quick edit icons were not showing due to country specific redirection Google started for blogger blog, but it got fixed by Google today.

         Blogger users were facing difficulties to edit gadgets on their page directly, because they were not able to see the Quick edit buttons, which were gone because of Blogger's country specific domain redirection, which Google has started for comfort to ban a blogger blog in a particular country.

        For few months we were not able to access the Quick edit buttons when we were not in our .com version of the blog, some blogger's knew that adding /ncr at end of blog address may help them to access the .com version of their blog and then they can access quick edit buttons, but for most bloggers it was an unknown solution, that's why we were getting questions in Blogger Help forum regularly and so i had to make a post regarded to this problem, you can still see the blog post here

        Now that blog post is useless, as Blogger started to show quick edits for country specific domains too, but it really took so many days for Blogger engg. to fix this problem, but they did it. Google is the best and they care about their users more than any other service.

        How to convert an ECM file to BIN

        I will show the use of ECM file and will also give a tutorial on how to convert it to any usable format like BIN


        I was browsing a PSX game site and downloaded a game from there and got a ECM file, that was the first time i saw an ECM file, I researched about it and was able to convert it to a working BIN file, the original ECM file was 200MB and when the file was converted into BIN it went to 600MB in size, so you can imagine how powerful is this ECM system.

        ECM files are used to compress files and folders from a CD or CD image, it's very powerful and can compress a CD image to 200MB from 600MB, isn't it great ? So, many people compress their file to ECM and upload it to internet to save space and bandwidth. But the file can't be open by a Disk Burning or CD image converting programs like Nero, MagicISO etc. They are only to burn files of CD images type like ISO,CDZ,BIN etc.
        So read this post to know how to open it.  

        What is an ECM file?

        ECM stands for Error Code Modeler , it compresses files and save huge amount of space, most of the CD/DVD have unnecessary EDC/ECC data in them and takes lots of space on the drive, ECM only adds the data in the compress file, and thus the file size changes, the compression size depends on unnecessary EDC/ECC data on the CD. Compressing a CD image to ECM is easy, just open the CD image file into your favorite compression program and save the file as [filename.bin].ecm, just add ECM at end.

        How to convert ECM to BIN?

        Ok, let's get back to the main thing, but read the above contents as well, we were at 'How to convert ECM to BIN' or any other readable/burnable file format, because we can't burn an ECM file to a CD so we need to convert it to use it. 

        The procedure is small, it's just a 2 minute job. To make it easy to understand for you, i will list step-by-step procedures, please read them carefully.
        1. First of all we have to download a file, with which we will convert the ECM file to a BIN file, it's not a good looking program but works great, thanks to Neil Corlett for this program. I have set a password to extract files from the RAR file, the password is stramaxon.
          Download File [LINK 1 | LINK 2] - Password for the file: stramaxon
        2. Now extract the RAR file with WinRAR program, it will ask for a password, just enter "stramaxon" in the password field (without quotes)
        3. Open the ecm100 folder in the extracted folder there will be two files, unecm.exe and ecm.exe
        4. Open the folder where your ECM file is, now drag and drop the ECM file on unecm.exe in the ecm100 folder
          A similar window may pop-up when you drag and drop the ECM file into the unecm.exe, wait for it to decode 100%.
        5. Once it's 100% completed, the cmd windows will close, now check the folder where tje ECM file was, a BIN file will be created. And done !
        We have successfully converted the ECM file to an burnable image file BIN. If you want to change the BIN file to other CD image file, you can do it by burning the BIN file on a CD and then making image file from that CD, I know that will be easy for you, but if you don't know how to do it then please request me a tutorial on depy45631@gmail.com
