It was not as easy I thought it would be. Especially, from the website from where I got this widget, that is the imeem.com. Must admit to get that playlist widget from imeem to my blog was not at all easy… I wasted half a day to understand how it worked. But all said and done, it’s the best site for this purpose because it has this option of adding widget to your blog, plus a huge collection of songs. Before this I tried to use ilike.com but didn’t get complete song. <br /><br />Similarly, to have music on your site, you can add the codes to your website and have a list of songs for your viewers. In the following video, I have shown two ways of adding the playlist. If you are a novice the first method is advisable however, no problem trying the second method if you are in a mood to explore… its not really that complicated.<br /> <br />Open blogger and imeem.com, first you will need to register with imeem.com.<br /><br />Check the video to know, how to add your favorite songs on your blog;<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/IZy7dCtUuo4&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/IZy7dCtUuo4&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Step by step procedure:</span><br /><br />• Search for you song<br />• Click on Add to Quickmix<br />• Save playlist<br />• Select on home/mediatracker/playlist/<br />• On the bottom of the playlist, Click on MORE near 'Embed this on'<br />• You will see a list of options; select Blogger/Add to blogger<br />• On clicking on that you will be taken to your blogger dashboard<br />• Select the blog where you want to display the playlist.<br />• Click on 'Add Widget'<br />• Save and view your blog<br />• If you would like to remove the Search option from the playlist then;<br />• Click on the song gadget in the dasboard to open the code and amend the code as shown in the blog.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Method 2:</span><br /><br />• On the bottom of the playlist on imeem.com, you will see an option 'Embed' select all and copy.<br />• Come to your blogger dasboard/layout/add gadget/html-javascript<br />• Put a suitable title and in the content area paste the code, delete the code for search option and save.<br /><br />The playlist is ready for your viewers...!!I-m-mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00605559236649258000noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31860031.post-9826327906405585222009-04-06T12:19:00.000-07:002009-04-06T13:04:29.943-07:00How to create navigation links in your blogThis is for people who own more than one blog and want a navigation menu in your blog. With a navigation menu in your blog, visitors to one of the blogs can access the other blogs by clicking on the navigation link. To understand better, check out the main menu on the top, in my blog.<br /><br />For instance, if you want to have navigation for your blogs www.iluv2travel.blogspot.com and www.myleisuremoments.blogspot.com here’s how you do it;<br /><br />1. Go to Layout/Page Element<br /><br />2. Click on Add a Gadget<br /><br />3. Give a suitable title like for my blog I have named it as Main Menu<br /><br />4. Copy and paste the below code on the ‘content’ area. Please remember to replace the site URL and title with that of your blog. For better understanding, I have marked in blue the link and texts that needs be replaced.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7zdO3wTFw1NnlrtaLZ6Lfd2xloC6nS0iS6HAQ_-NL26bUYM-6S_al7VcPSOefdWb8QSWzcbrHiSrmEhSnc9CCvOVOa1CBCWcTMeMOn2DE5cGgyirjmFQnxvOYPP5P4i5zStJVHw/s1600-h/code.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 199px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7zdO3wTFw1NnlrtaLZ6Lfd2xloC6nS0iS6HAQ_-NL26bUYM-6S_al7VcPSOefdWb8QSWzcbrHiSrmEhSnc9CCvOVOa1CBCWcTMeMOn2DE5cGgyirjmFQnxvOYPP5P4i5zStJVHw/s400/code.JPG" border="0" alt="html code for navigation links in blogger"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321670974800746946" /></a><br />5.

Each claim that the other type of entertainment is fading away. While the serial actors say that people are fed up of reality shows, reality show actors want to believe that it’s the daily soaps people are fed up with!<br /><br />But then, what is the truth? What are people really watching? As a viewer, I can vouch for the fact that people are watching both. However, quality matters… if there is some real entertainment then people are taking time to watch or else no. If there are 30 serials on air now, I watch about 3 similarly there are some dance reality shows that I watch too.<br /><br />Talking about dance reality shows, on Saturday at 8pm I put my TV on to watch Nach Baliye (Star Plus), Boogie Woogie (Sony), Chota Packet Bada Dhamaka (CPBD) (Zee TV). Except for Nach Baliye other two shows had kids performing but to my surprise (not really because I experienced this last week also) I was hooked on more to these shows then Nach Baliye… why? The quality!! <br /><br />While Nach Baliye continued with some crap drama, the other two shows were showing what they were supposed to show, brilliant dance performances!! And even when the dance started in Nach Baliye it was no where near to the dance performed by the kids, especially the CPBD kids. Just imagine, these tiny humans were more capable of giving a good show than the grown ups!!<br /><br />And going by the poor standards of Nach Baliye, if I had my regular serial at that hour I would have stuck to it rather than watching the silly off-stage drama (fake). To sum up, it’s not about reality shows or serials that’s popular with viewers it is the quality of the program. <br /><br />So it goes to say, that it’s not necessarily competition between teleserials and reality shows its competition between the good and bad quality. Also a piece of advice for all reality show makers, shun the fake drama or even if its real edit it… people have had enough of it and just show them what they have been promised… the talent show!I-m-mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00605559236649258000noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31860031.post-73754271148971313772007-09-01T10:10:00.000-07:002009-03-17T02:01:42.057-07:00Get all your favorite websites under one web pageWe all know about <a href="http://www.google.com/bookmarks/">bookmarking</a>, it’s a wonderful tool to reduce the pressure from our memory cells. Like a site? Bookmark it under favorites or under bookmarks and keep checking regularly, to see if anything new is added to the site. Now wouldn’t it be better if you get to know whether anything is updated on the site, even before you open the site?<br /><br />This is exactly what RSS feeds does for you, it brings your favorite sites to you, saving your time going to it and wasting time if there isn’t anything new stored in for you. But, if you have many sites that you want to check out, your browser is mostly likely to get crowded.<br /><br />So to take it a step further, Google reader (even yahoo and msn reader) lets you save all your favorite sites on one page. Like you log on to your gmail and check if you have any new mails, you can log on to Google reader and check if there is anything new in your favorite sites. <br /><br />Viewing your website in a Google reader is different from viewing it on the site, on Google reader you will only see the contents with any attached image that it may have. All the other features of the site won’t be present; to view that you will have to visit the site.<br /><br />The site you want to add should have the RSS option in it. The most common icon for RSS is this <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi50KvHvf3dkftwwEKf-vaGSA0u0uVMSu8rQ4on_mXiDBNPmWXS89dRVYTKwV1eKBC2Yo16etqUTBI0vbIeZzPYjCZnVlp3GSbiz5G1GcGfBPgATxz6QpO3QFBfZkFHLEqlmQAmNw/s1600-h/RSS+icon.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi50KvHvf3dkftwwEKf-vaGSA0u0uVMSu8rQ4on_mXiDBNPmWXS89dRVYTKwV1eKBC2Yo16etqUTBI0vbIeZzPYjCZnVlp3GSbiz5G1GcGfBPgATxz6QpO3QFBfZkFHLEqlmQAmNw/s200/RSS+icon.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5105310691278510082" width="30" height="30"/></a><br /><br />To understand the use of Google reader better, listen to Google engineer Chris Wetherell.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VXE5HN0DDRs"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VXE5HN0DDRs" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><br /><br />Log on to <a href="http://www.google.com/reader">Google reader</a> with your Gmail id and save your valuable time.I-m-mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00605559236649258000noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31860031.post-1171656051058159992007-02-16T10:52:00.002-08:002013-06-26T18:22:52.739-07:00Happy Mahashivratri!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/901/2771/1600/400633/Lord%20Shiva.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/901/2771/320/133116/Lord%20Shiva.jpg" border="0" alt="Lord Shiva" /></a><br />While most of the festivals are celebrated during day time... Deepawali and Mahashivratri are two such festivals which gives more significance to night.<br /><br />For those who aren't aware... story of Mahashivratri begins like this:<br />After the samundra manthan (Churning of the sea, thats another story altogether). Alongwith a lot of other things, came Halahala... a dangerous poison that could finish the entire universe. Before this poison could spread all over, Lord shiva drank whole of it and here's where the story of Mahashivratri begins. <br /><br />Lord Shiva had to be kept awake that night to prevent the poison from flowing down his throat. Hence all the Devotees spent the night...singing songs in honor of Lord Shiva to keep him awake. This is why Mahashivratri is also a test of the true devotee. <br /><br />Even to this day, on Mahashivratri people stay awake whole night (Jaagran) and sing Bhajans.<br /><br />Talking about Bhajans... there is one from the movie Bhairavi --- OM NAMAH SHIVAYA. I had been searching for this song since long and now finally found it on cooltoad.<br /><br />After I found the song... I wanted the lyrics however nowhere on the net it was available. So finally I wrote the lyrics for anyone searching like me. This song definitely has a soothing effect on the listener.<br /><br />I had a tough time writing this song because of all the musical notes in between... and doubtlessly its going to be equally difficult to sing those notes unless you are a trained singer.<br /><br />*************************************************************************************<br /><br />Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...aaaaaaaaa aaaaa...<br /><br />aaaaaaaaaaa..........aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....aaaaaaaaaaa....aaaaaaaaaa...aaaaaaaa..... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa<br /><br />Om namah shivaye... shivaaaaaaye...namah shivaye.... <br />Om namah shivaye... shivaaaaaaaaaaaaaaye...Om namah shivaye...<br />Om namah shivaye<br /><br />Teen shabd mein dhristi saari... shristi saari saamaaaaaaaaaaye<br />Om namah shivaye<br />Om namah shivaye<br /><br />gaaaa da pa ga re ga ga<br />sa da pa re ga ga<br />ga pa ga saa re re<br />pa ga re sa da sa saaaa<br /><br />Pharbat pharbat kyun chade... nadi paar kyun jaaye<br />Pharbat pharbat kyun chade... nadi paar kyun jaaye<br />Jo milna hain yahin hain... jeen khoje wohi paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaye<br />Om namah shivayeeee...
