The wibiya web toolbar should be showing at the bottom of this blog. You can add information to it, delete what you don’t want and use it to see your stats. Of course you need to alter the settings to suit your blog or web site. I think it’s great because you can use it and your visitors can use it to easily add a post to Facebook, Twitter or Digg, for example.

It also makes your site look pretty cool and professional. it is a growing application with more and more people using it. Features are added frequently.

How to embed your facebook and twitter icons into a blog

I’ve added a Follow me widget to my wordpress blog. First I saved an image of an F and a T. I then used this code to put into a text widget.

<a href=”http://facebook.com/profile.php?id=781704128″><img src=”images/facebook.png” border=”0″></a>
<a href=”http://twitter.com/#!/ozwebhub”><img src=”images/twitter.png” width=”60″ height=”60″ border=”0″></a>

You can see that I have not used WP media to add the image but this URL instead  www.ozwebhub.com/images

You will obviously have to change the code to suit you.

You can try uploading the image to your WP but I found that more difficult to do. You may be able to upload to the images folder of your themes images, but I haven’t tried that.

Fell free to Save the images I have on the right for your blog.

Next I’m going to try to add a Like button for Facebook for under the posts. Some of the related posts below may assist you in this too.

Just discovered Zemanta

Where have I been? Zemanta is wonderful. It can be downloaded as a Firefox add on. It can work on any blogging platform. It suggests photos (from Flickr) for your blog, tags and related articles from other blogs, including Amazon Books with your own referral ID on them. I love it. See the reblog sign down on the right. That’s what it does also. That’s how I discovered it. I reblogged someone else’s article.

Also it allows you to easily put your link on Facebook, Twitter and Mashable or almost anywhere you want.

And you can apply links to the content of your blog, which are mostly definitions from wikipedia or the URL addresses. You don’t need to code them. They just happen.

Below are some of the related articles.

Why are my photos darker after I print them?

computer screenIt depends what you have done or not done as to why your prints are darker.  If you have an LCD computer screen, they will be.  All LCD screens have brightness defaults which are too bright. So you can wind down the brightness by 50% to improve quality. Then you have to calibrate the colour. The old CRT screens can be calibrated by adjusting the brightness and contrast.

You can also fix this problem by editing in Photoshop.

To determine if your screen is too bright, hold a blank white sheet of printer paper next to a white document in Photoshop. It should match in brightness and colour. If not, increase room lighting or reduce brightness of screen.
