Get Free Social Network Buttons on your Blog


  1. Download a social media icon pack. You can search for them in Google or get some free here.
  2. Extract the icons of the social networks you want (in .PNG format), onto a folder in your computer.
  3. Go to your blog's homepage and create a new post.
  4. Name it whatever you want to, but do not publish it. Instead, directly save the post.
  5. Switch to HTML mode.
  6. Click on the Insert Picture icon () in the formatting bar; browse and select the icons you saved in step 2. Insert all of them together and make sure you've selected all of them.
  7. Switch back to Compose mode, and align the icons in the center keeping the icons in original size (if they are stacked on top of each other vertically, and you want them in a single line horizontally then press delete after each icon for them to line up).
  8. Press each icon and then click Link from the formatting bar (if nothing happens, repeat the step). Enter the link to the corresponding social website for each icon into web address. If you are entering an email address, you can enter that in the email address option within edit link.
  9. After doing this for all the icons, switch back to HTML and copy all of the coded text. Save and exit the post.
  10. Go to the layout section in you blog, and click on add a gadget from the sidebar. Find and select HTML/Javascript.
  11. Paste your copied text into content. You can add a title like "Connect with us" or leave it blank if you wish. Click save and then close the window. You can re-position this gadget on your blog.
  12.  Click Save Arrangement and preview your blog to see them neatly arranged in the sidebar.



If the icons are bulging out of your blog, then you can either adjust the widths of your blog in the Template> Customize> Adjust Widths section or you can redo this method but with smaller icons.

If this post managed to help you, kindly leave a comment and follow us on our social networks by clicking on our fancy social media buttons on the side ;)

Installing Android SDK developer tools on Ubuntu 11.04 (With Screenshots)

Installing SDK drove me crazy on Ubuntu. The steps weren't clear enough in the official guide and somehow I got off track and got lost in all those steps. Plus, all the "help" on Google was meant for windows. So now that I've finally figured it out, I thought I'd help the rest of you out there who want to install it on a Linux OS, complete with screen shots. After installing, I realized that the steps are pretty much the same for windows, except I was saved from an extra step in the end: installing USB drivers for windows.

Making the most out of notes on your iPod, iPod classic, iPod mini, iPod nano, iPod (5th generation)


1. eBooks

The iPod Touch & iPhone very conveniently have the iBook app, in which you can read books, organize them and even purchase them from iTunes. Their screen is the perfect size for a pocket-size eBook reader.

The iPod classic, iPod nano and all those other iPods with the revolutionary click wheel, do not have an option for reading eBook. Upfront, the closest you'll get to a story is audio-books. However to READ books you can simply import your eBook into your iPod notes. But what's the catch? Each iPod note has a limit of 4 KB. Whereas an average book (in .txt) is 200-300 KB.

IP Address?

What's an IP address?
You know how your house has a postal address to locate its exact position and reach it. An ip address is like the postal address of your computer. It can be dynamic (changes every time you turn your internet box on/off) or static (it stays the same no matter what).  The ip address depends upon your modem. So all the devices connected to that modem will have the same ip address.

What information does my ip address reveal?
