Add social networking flavor to your website


Social networking sites help you spread your words. If you have a website and you want to share it with people, this is the best medium to do it. They provide APIs, which can be easily included in your code to get the required features. E.g: you can get facebook's 'like','send' buttons , Google's '+1' or twitter's 'tweet' button easily integrated with you web pages.

More is the number of 'like's or '+1's or 'tweet's, more is the popularity of your website and hence easier for people to get a perception for your website.

How?
You need to generate codes and add it to your pages at different places. Steps are available on the respective websites of these social networking giants and are very easy to follow.
Examples for 'like' and '+1' integration are given below:

How to add facebook 'like' button in your website:
1. Follow steps given in the following link - http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
2. Click on "Get Code" button for each steps to find the corresponding code and the place where you should keep it in your page.
3. A Dropdown under the step "Get Open Graph tags" represents the fixed list of entities e.g: education,activity,sports e.t.c.
Decide on the type of entity that your page represnt.

How to add google '+1' button in your website:
1. Go to the link http://www.google.com/webmasters/+1/button/
2. Steps given in the above link are very simple. You can quickly determine how to generate the code and how to use it in your pages.
3. Note that you must enter a valid value for the image URL under step 2 of the link. The value must ensure the following:
a. It should be a public URL
b. It should start with http://.
Otherwise on cliking the '+1' button on your web site , you may get a red color error icon.

Similarly you can use APIs provided by Twitter, LinkedIn e.t.c to give your website a social networking touch.  And believe me(you can not also), this social networking flavor will contribute to the taste of  your website.

Find you inner peace with Raja Yog

Raja Yoga deals with the internal perception of body and mind. All actions performed by us throughout the day are external in nature. We hardly spend any time thinking about what is going inside our body, where is mind and thoughts flowing, how the nerve currents flow within the body with each actions like listen, touch, smell, view. Steps mentioned below is a very small part of Raja yoga but enough for the busy and working professionals. It will calm the mind, body and bring down the anger, proud, jealousy and other evil thoughts to some extent. Calm the body and mind 1. Close your eyes. Sit straight with chest, neck and head in one line. 2. You will realise that the mind is behaving very sporadically. Let it be. 3. Watch your mind as a spectator and just watch what it is thinking. After some time you will realize that it is becoming calmer. Breath deeper 4. Now bring your attention towards breathing. Breath deeper, inhale pure air inside your lungs and exhale...

Relation between a drunk monkey and human mind

I read a paragraph similar to this from one of the writings of Swami Vivekanand and found it nice. Suppose there is a monkey with unstable mind, which is monkey's natural behaviour(some human also posses this behavior). He consumes alchohal making his mind more unstable. To make his unstability worse, a bee stings him. And now suppose a ghost also enters his body. Poor monkey!! Isn't he ?? Same is the case with human mind. Unstable because of his daily routine, lifestyle, interaction with different people, ideas. Similar to monkey, to make things more unstable, he drinks the alchohal of desire. Then a bee of jealousy stings him. And a ghost name proud enters his body to make the mind uncontrollable. What do you think would be the condition of this human. This is the case with all of us.

Your website, your domain and the link between them

Most of the IT professionals are expert in web related technologies using which they can easily create cool web applications. But web hosting, domain name, linking their domain with the website are some of the questions which stop them from creating their own websites. This is because most of us work in IT companies where we do not worry about these details at all. Plan your website and infrastructure  : I am sure you people are good enough in planning for your website and technology to be used. You can create website using your own infrastructure and deploy it to the server provided by any web hosting company. Or  Use infrastructure of any renowned company which will help you in deployment too. e.g I used a service provided by google called Google App engine .
