How to get or sign up for Facebook email

A friend (Avinash) in my Facebook profile has just asked me a question- How to get get a Faceook email id like username@facebook.com.
Well, for the people who stay up to date with internet world, Facebook email is not a new thing. PCMag had an article on it on 15th November, last year.  But, I guess many people don't know it still and they don't have enough information too (as Avinash is not the first person who asked me the question, I have got this question from few more people too.)
Well, Avanish and the people who are interested to learn how to get Facebook email, I am writing this post-
As far I know, you can not directly sign up for a facebook email account still now. You need to apply for it.
To apply for a Facebook email id-
Click here to apply for Facebook email (You will have to sign in first).

Facebook will take some days to approve your request. And as soon as your request will be accepted, you will get a message from Facebook while signing in/opening your account.
Choose a username, create the email id and enjoy Facebook email!
Here is a screenshot of my Facebook email page-

Hope it will help you. If you need further help or you have something to say, please post it in the comment section below.

How to add "You may also like" widget in blogger

In this post, I shall discuss on how to include an automatic "You may also like" or "You should also read" section in your blog? If you want to recommend your blog readers few more similar posts from your blog, then you can check this widget.
Well, what does actually the widget do is-  when you include this widget in your blog, the widget's (site's) crawlers (spiders) quickly crawl your whole site and make an index and from the index they show some results in "You may also read" or "You should also read" section.
The installation of the widget is very easy. The name of the widget is LinkWithin. Click here to visit the site. The site owners have already published a detailed tutorial there. So, I shall not repeat it here. Just visit the site.
But, few point, I think, I should mention here-
1) The best place to add the widget is 'below post'. You can drag and drop in design settings page in your blogger account after the installation.

2) Also check the width of your blogger page before selecting the width of the widget. For example for my blog I have chosen 4 stories. (It is applicable on the date of writing this post. If you can not see the widget at the time of reading this post, then most probably I have removed it and forgot to re-edit here). So, you need to think a little before choosing the width of the widget there. And if you make any mistake, just remove the widget from your blogger's account and re-install the widget again from the site.

Hope this will help. If you have some question or comment, please use the comment box below!

Play With Browser Font

In this post, I'll discuss on how to control font settings of your browser. I'll discuss about the mostly used  browsers only. If you are using any other browser, you can mention the browser's name in the comment section, I'll update about that browser.

Adjust Font Size Of Web Page

I have noticed in different forums and communities that many people come up with the question that they unintentionally pressed something in keyboard and the font of the page has become very small or big and now they can manage it. Well, the solution is quite easy. You can manage your webpage's font size like this-
For most of the browsers you can press to enlarge font size, to decrease font size and to restore font size to default. Try it. Please note means the combo key of 'Ctrl' button and 'plus' symbol button. Similarly means 'Ctrl' button and 'Minus' symbol button and means 'Ctrl' button and 'Zero' number button.
An image to clarify it more-

 

You can adjust font size using mouse wheel too.

Use to enlarge font size and to decrease font size. I don't know how to restore font size to default using mouse wheel. I use for that.
You can adjust font size of the browser from its menu bar settings too-
In Firefox >> Menu Bar >> View >> Zoom >> Zoom In or Out
In IE >> Menu Bar >> View >> Text Size >> Choose One.
In Chrome >> Wrench Icon >> Zoom
In Safari >> Menu Bar>> View>> Zoom In or Out (If you can not see menu bar, click on wrench icon, and click on ‘show menu bar’)
In Opera>>  Menu Bar (If you can not see menu bar, click on Menu Button in the top left corner of screen, and click on ‘show menu bar’)>> View>> Zoom>> Choose one
In Epic>> Menu Bar >> View >> Zoom >> Zoom In or Out
In Netscape Navigator>> Menu Bar >> View >> Zoom >> Zoom In or Out

Change Browser's Default Font, Font size etc

You can change browser's default font, font size etc too. To do this-
1) In Firefox Menu Bar>>Tools>>Options>> Content Tab>>Choose font, font size, color etc. You may go to advanced tab there for advanced settings of browser's display font.
2) In Chrome Wrench Icon>> Under the hood tab>> Set Font properties
3) In Internet Explorer Menu Bar>>Tools>>Internet Options>>General>> Appearance (bottom of the page)>> Set font size, color, language there.
4) In Opera>> Menu Bar (If you can not see menu bar, click on Menu Button in the top left corner of screen, and click on ‘show menu bar’)>>Tools>>Preferences>>Advanced>>Fonts>> Choose your font, font size etc.


You can change font etc from browser's config settings too. To do that (you need to be careful while handling these settings pages)-
In Firefox in address bar write about:config and press 'Enter', a pop up will come up. Click to promise to be careful. Then you have landed in the main settings page of your browser (Firefox) in the search option write 'Font', lots of results will come up. You can change and mange fonts from here too. Perhaps I am going to write another post on Firefox about:config tricks, so I'll not describe in details on it here.
Similarly you can use about:config in Opera too. Opera does not alert you when you enter about:config in address bar. After entering about:config in address bar, click on the Font tab and there you can change font settings.
Well, I do not know, how to use about:config in Chrome. Please let me know about it in comment section if you know about it.
That's all for this post now. If you want to say something, please use the comment box below.
