How to display related posts in your Blogger blog?

Showing related posts is a must have feature in your blog today as readers are always interested in seeing more without having to manually search for content. I also wanted my readers to be able to find related content easily and hence started the search for a service or a widget that could automatically display related posts in a neat presentable format.

Wanna 'Rock Your Firefox'?

One reason I switched from IE to Firefox was its tabbed interface and later fell in love with it due to the loads of add-ons available free. These add-ons, though they make Firefox a bit sluggish, have proved to be the biggest boon not only for the users but also for Firefox.

Enjoy the ride with ‘Lal Dabba’

This time around, I will be taking you through an altogether different ride called ‘Lal Dabba’ which is a very cute blog maintained by a few of my ex-colleagues and their friends. Lal Dabba, in my words, is a tribute to the Maharashtra’s state-wide bus service which we all know as ST (short for State Transport) run by MSRTC. The fellow bloggers have captured the ST buses of all shapes, sizes, colors & conditions in their naked glory very nicely.

Timeline of Web Browsers

Just came across an excellent inforgraphic at Wikipedia which showcases the evolution of various web browsers in a neat timeline illustration. The multiple timeline display each browser's journey (read version change) over a period of last two decades.

It's absolutely interesting to see some of the late entrants like Google Chrome, which has made a bigger impact on the browser share, along with some veterans like Opera which has a decent user base but is not in the top slot yet. Though Opera Mobile is a fantastic browser which has a wide presence and a huge fan following I would say. But it's sad that Lunascape isn't there in the list.

It would have been even more interesting to see other related information like browser-wise market share, platform support, HTML/CSS/JS version support, etc.

Lunascape: Combination of Safari, Chrome, IE, Firefox, Opera

As the name itself suggests, Lunascape is definitely a futuristic browser that is not just unique but is absolutely feature rich too. The reason I am calling it futuristic is that it provides you with all the three popular browser engines (namely Gecko, Webkit, and Trident) in a single browser interface. Well, these engines are the cores that power our popular browsers like IE, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.

Tips & Tricks: How to clean Word generated HTML?

While trying to create tabulated content for one of my articles, I realized that the blogger doesn't have an option to create tables. Then I thought of hand-coding the HTML markup for the table and style it using CSS styles but I knew that would be an expensive effort. So I opted for the obvious solution - our very own MS Word which does a fantastic job when it comes to creating & formatting content for any kind of documentation one can think of.

LMS vs CMS vs LCMS

A lot many times you would have noticed learning professionals using terms like LMS, CMS & LCMS interchangeably; referring to LMS when they actually talk about CMS and vice-versa. Sure, there is a bit of a confusion still around and most of us will continue to be puzzled as these jargon not just rhyme well but also have a lot of similarities in terms of their offerings and domain they belong to.
