hacking the blogger hack, part two

Monday, October 23rd, 2006 |

so now, i will show you how to hack the “How can I make show/hide links for my posts?” hack by blogger..

this is a bit trickier since on every post you make, you have to make sure that you give a unique id..

First of all, add these codes within your area and right after the closing of your style sheet..

function expandcollapse (postid) {

whichpost = document.getElementById(postid);

if (whichpost.className==”postshown”) {
whichpost.className=”posthidden”;
}
else {
whichpost.className=”postshown”;
}
}
</script>

Now for each post that you plan on adding the show/hide link to, you have to add this span tags as well as a link tag for the show/hide posts..

so lets say that:

Here is the beginning of my post.<span class=”posthidden” id=”example post”>And
here is the rest of it. </span>
<a href=”javascript:expandcollapse(’example post’)”>
[+/-] show/hide this post</a>

for an example, follow this link here

firefox tweaks !!!!

Friday, September 29th, 2006 |

hey! it’s been a while since my last post… HEHEHE! anyways, i was surfing the net and i came across some tweaks for firefox… check them out…

Simple Firefox Tweaks

NOTICE: Make sure you backup all of the Firefox folder and appdata. You can use MozBackup to backup and restore your Firefox profile.

These tweaks are a .cheap and dirty. way to speed up the browser, and enable a few nice features. However, the more experienced net user might want to go ahead to the advanced tweaks too.

1a: Type “about:config” in the address bar (where you usually type a web address to) without the quotes.

This will bring you to the built in configurator, (example of what it looks like) where the tweaking can begin

1b: In the filter bar start typing HTTP, this will take you to the first set of settings we will change.

2: Change: network.http.pipelining to true by double clicking

3: Change: network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to 8 by double clicking then entering the new value in the box

4: Change: network.http.proxy.pipelining to true by double clicking

5: Change: network.http.max-persistant-connections-per-proxy to 8

6a: Change: network.http.max-persistant-connections-per-server to 8

6b: Change: network.http.max-connections to 48

7: Right-Click anywhere in the configurator and add a new integer. The name of this must be nglayout.initialpaint.delay and a value of 0

8: Restart Firefox by closing all windows and tabs and then reopening Firefox for the changes to become effective.

here are tweaks that depend on your cpu and connection capabilities
you have to locate your prefs.js file first though.. for xp, it’s located at C:\Documents and Settings\’username’\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\’XXXXXX’.default.. then paste whichever script applies

note: application data files are usually hidden
