Edit Comments on Blogger

Thursday, May 25, 2006

While, doing some experiments with Blogger, I just found a way to edit user comments. I found this method when I analyzed the URL of delete comment and that of edit post and found them similar.

Here's a sample delete comment URL:
http://www.blogger.com/delete-comment.g?blogID=12345678&postID=123456789012345678

And this is an edit post URL:
http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=12345678&postID=123456789012345678
The only difference between the two URLs is the page, delete-comment.g & post-edit.g. I decided to pass the variables of delete comment, blogID and postID to the page post-edit.g page. The result was that I got the comment text on the 'Edit Posts' screen. The next step to modify the comments and push the 'Publish Post' button. Task Accomplished... Comments Modified...


Steps for Modifying Comments:

• Open the comments page of the post.
• Right-click on the delete comment button and select 'Copy Shortcut'.
• Paste the URL on a browser window.
• Replace 'delete-comment.g' with 'post-edit.g'.

P.S.: Please do keep posting comments on my blog, I won't modify them.

Serious Business from News Website

Thursday, May 18, 2006

CNN-IBN, the brainchild of Rajdeep Sardesai, shows its internet presence with its website www.ibnlive.com. It is one of the best news website available on the internet (ofcourse, the best for Indian News). Kudos to the webteam at IBN for conceptualizing and developing such a great website. The website is much better than the website of its prime competitor NDTV.

One of the prominent feature of www.ibnlive.com is the FREE Live Streaming of its television broadcast (very few news websites offers it for free). You can also watch video clips of the current news stories. The news stories published on the website are comment enabled. Another cool feature is the dynamic box that shows 'Other Stories in the Section', 'Most Read Articles of the Day', 'Top Stories' etc.

My personal favorite feature on the website are the IBN Blogs, where IBN journalists present the news stories from a different prospective. The posts in the blogs are really nice to read. Another section of the website which I frequent is Sci-Tech. This section incorporates some of the best news stories from the technology world.

CNN-IBN is the only Indian news channel which extensively publicizes its website. Be it daily user comments on certain issues or a contest, you would always be directed to ibnlive.com. You would frequently hear 'Log on to ibnlive.com for more stories' on the TV broadcast.

It seems that CNN-IBN realizes serious business from its website. So, how does it actually monetizes its website? If you could have guessed, Google Adsense. IBNLive inclusively uses Google Adsense program. You won't find any advertisments than Ads by Google. The reason for choosing Adsense program may be the ease of displaying and managing content-related ads. NDTV also uses Adsense on its website www.ndtv.com, but it also displays many other advertisements and also includes an online store where it sells various products. Besides, the ad-placements on www.ibnlive.com is more captivating than on www.ndtv.com.


To start monetizing your own website, get targeted ads on your website from Google Adsense. To create an account, click on the Google Adsense button at the right pane of this blog under the Power Tools section.

Google Page Creator

"Create your own web pages, quickly and easily."

With this tagline, Google adds merchandise to its multitude of services. Google Page Creator is a Google Labs project, and is still in an early testing phase. It is a free online tool that makes it easy for anyone to create and publish useful, attractive web pages in just minutes.

It comes with a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor which allows you to make your webpage without having any prior knowledge of HTML. That means, you can make a professional looking webpage in just few minutes without having to learn HTML or use complex software.
The service offers a host of templates to choose for your webpage. You can also choose various page layouts for your page. Currently, the WYSIWYG editor just have very basic formatting functions like text styles, alignment, hyperlink, image etc. You are also allowed to edit HTML code of page sections, though you cannot change the page layout code for now.

You would need a Gmail account to make your website. Google hosts all pages created using this for free. You are given a subdomain URL: http://yourgmailusername.googlepages.com

Trying my first hands on this service, I also created a personal page with Google Page Creator. You can view my page at: http://gsmodi.googlepages.com.

Rabbi enters Bollywood with Sufiana

Tuesday, May 02, 2006

Rabbi Shergill, who stormed in the Music industry with his first album, featuring the superhit song 'Bulla Ki Jaana', has finally decided to sing for Bollywood. He would brand his own set of Sufiana songs in Bollywood.

Rabbi was always reluctant to work in Bollywood as they only insisted him for playback singing, which he never desired. He is always interested in making a complete package which includes composing, production and writing the lyrics. So, when guys making the movie 'Delhi Height' approched him and agreed to all this, he accepted their offer.

Soon, we would see Rabbi's song in the movie 'Delhi Heights'. The sound of the music would be something related to the current Delhi trend. Looking forward to hear some great music from this great person.
