Blogger's Forthcoming Features - New Dashboard, Post Editor, Content Discovery and more

While 2010 was an exciting year for Blogger with the addition of the new Template Designer, Real-time stats and web fonts (to name a few of the features released), 2011 looks to be even more exciting.

At SXSW the Blogger team demonstrated two fabulous forthcoming features: an updated post editor and "content discovery". I can't begin to describe how much I'm looking forward to these new features!

New (and improved) Dashboard and Post Editor


Blogger's upcoming dashboard revamp promises to be faster, more intuitive and incredibly user-friendly.

Using the Google Web Toolkit, we'll be able to switch seamlessly between areas of the dashboard with virtually no page loading time:

The upcoming post editor seeks to make typing out posts more intuitive and with less necessity to scroll as most options appear in the toolbar at the top of the page:

After seeing the preview shots and video, I'm sure we're all curious about potential new features in the toolbar for creating and editing blog posts!


Content Discovery

Another much anticipated feature, Blogger's content discovery feature will help readers find content related to your blog posts while viewing pages of your site. Including posts from our blogs, real-time content from around the web and a snazzy trends/topics section, related content looks set to work from within the Blogger Navbar, replacing the "Next Blog" random link (which for many will prove a far more useful feature):

World's Most Amazing Animals


World's Most Amazing Animals - Be stunned !

Really all animals are very amazing and each one is very unique and different in their own way. Animals that might seem fairly mundane that we encounter often we might not think of as the world's most amazing animals and yet they might surprise you with your capabilities. For example a cat can hear ultrasonic noises that mice make and that are two high pitches for humans or even dogs, while a Squirrel can fall from 100 feet and survive!
Amazing though they are, these are still not the world's most amazing animals, and the abilities of some creatures are simply astonishing. Here we will look at some of the world's most amazing animals and what they can do that sets them apart.
Dirrocoelium Dendeiticum: Starting off with this type of parasitic flatworm, this is one of the world's most amazing animals and so unusual that it almost seems like science fiction. What makes it so amazingly unique is it's ability to control the mind of ants. Yes, at one stage in its life cycle this flat worm will be eaten by an ant, at which point it will travel up to its brain and latch onto the motor cortex giving it complete control of all the ant's movements. During this phase, the flat worm will then use this ability to steer the ant onto the tip of a blade of grass to be eaten by a cow so that it can breed inside the cow's stomach. At once fascinating and disconcerting, and certainly one of the world's most amazing animals.
Gigantic Octopus: The gigantic octopus is so much one of the world's most amazing animals that it has actually become the thing of legend. The gigantic octopus has never been found in its entirety, but single tentacles have. Bigger than the already impressive colossal squid and other large sea creatures, it is believed that this is the 'Kraken' of legend and capable of sinking large boats.
Whales: Whales are impressive and some of the world's most amazing animals due to their size first and foremost because of their huge size, as the biggest animals on Earth. But perhaps even more amazing is the fact that they can communicate through a layer of the sea that allows their whale song to travel over great distances - over hundreds of miles. Almost like telephone, or more like internet, for whales.
Tardigrade: The tardigrade, sometimes referred to affectionately by scientists as the 'water bear', is a microscopic creature that apparently walks with the gait of a bear - which isn't what makes it one of the world's most amazing animals. That honour goes to the fact that this creature can live in incredibly hostile and uninhabitable conditions - including in deep space - and abandoned for ten days in space they were found to be able to survive with no oxygen, no light and no nutrients of any kind. On Earth they are also one of the world's most amazing animals in terms of hardiness and can survive without food for three decades!
Sarcosuchus: Sarcosuchus is no longer one of the world's most amazing animals as it is now sadly extinct. However most people who learn about this animal are still startled and have no idea of its existence. This is a type of crocodile that lived during the reign of the Dinosaurs that was so huge it could go toe-to-toe with a Tyrannosaurus Rex and would regularly eat them. Imagine that - a crocodile the size of a bus!
Turritopsis Nutricula Jellyfish: Finally, this type of jellyfish is one of the world's most amazing animals for having discovered the holy grail - this creature is genuinely immortal. By returning to its child-form, the 'pollyp', it is able to rejuvenate all of its individual cells. Of course it can still die from illness or by being killed by predators - but naturally it will never die of old age. Pretty amazing…

Top Sources of Protein In The World


Top Protein Sources In the World - Let's get healthy!

Protein is a highly important part of our diet. In fact it is literally the building block that makes up our body. Both protein and our muscles/tendons/flesh etc are made from amino acids, and that means that when we eat meat we are almost literally recycling it to use on our own bodies. When it comes to protein you really literally are what you eat. Eating good quality protein then will help your body to heal wounds, build muscle and create other tissue. However not all protein is made equal, and if you want to get the very best protein then you need to carefully select your sources. Here we will look at some of the best sources of protein in the world, whether you are looking for them for building muscle, or just to stay in shape. The different protein sources here have different benefits, and some of the sources have other unrelated health benefits too, so here we'll give a brief description of each source and why its so good along with its listing.
Red meat: Red meat means lamb or beef and typically it's not considered one of the best sources of protein in the world. The reason for this is that it's not lean and that means that you take a lot of fat in with the amino acids when you eat this meat. This also means that red meat can increase cholesterol so a bodybuilder wouldn't be advised to eat huge amounts of lamb to repair the muscles and help them grow. However this doesn't mean that red meat is not without merit and it has many other advantages as a protein source. For one, fat isn't entirely a bad thing and in fact aids your body in processing protein – so you don't want entirely lean protein sources or you won't be able to get the most benefit from them. At the same time red meat also triggers the production of natural testosterone and that means that puts the body in an anabolic state where it will build muscle, heal wounds and burn fat. This is why some bodybuilders take testosterone supplements. Red meat is not one of the best sources of protein in the world in terms of lean protein alone, but it has its place certainly.
Egg: Egg on the other hand is one of the best sources of protein in the world in terms of lean protein, and is quite likely in fact the best source full stop. Egg white has very little fat in it so many people will leave the yolk out when then eat egg for its protein. However this is actually a mistake as only when the white and the yolk are combined do they contain all 27 amino acids (the exact number of amino acids depends on the report you read, but the most recent data suggests there are 27) and egg is the only source of protein that does. It is highly important that the body gets all 27 amino acids every day to be able to perform all of the maintenance tasks it needs to because each amino acid is used for a different job. Normally then you need to eat multiple sources of protein in each helping. As such egg is certainly one of the best protein sources in the world and the only source that is sufficient to meet the body's requirements on its own. Some bodybuilders will eat egg raw but this can actually lead to a biotin deficiency which results in loss of muscle mass.
Chicken: Chicken is superior to red meat in terms of the lean protein and has comparatively very little fat. Meanwhile it is also highly 'bio available' which means that the body can use more of the protein found in chicken than it can in red meat. However chicken lacks some of the other benefits of red meat. For eating in high quantities and for sportsmen and women chicken is one of the most popular and best sources of protein in the world.
Tuna: Tuna fish, like chicken, is one of the best sources of protein in the world in terms of how lean and bio-available it is. At the same time though it also has several other benefits. It is high in the essential fatty acid 'Omega 3' which makes it great for the joints and again aids with the body's protein absorption. Meanwhile this also boosts IQ and helps to keep the joints supple.
Whey: Whey is the protein source that is found in most 'protein shakes'. It is a by-product of the cheese making process so comes from milk. It is highly bio-available and also very convenient in powder form allowing for it to be easily carried around and eaten in very large quantities. Most manufacturers will also include many other complimentary ingredients such as creatine to ensure that they are the best sources of protein in the world.

Adding categories to blogspot (blogger)

If you want to add categories to the blogger as in the picture, read the instructions in this post.
For example if you click on "Useful website" you will get a list of all the posts that are in category Useful website and if you click on the blog tutorial you will get all posts related to the blog tutorial.


The purpose of adding a category is sort of articles by category. Adding a category of your blog becomes easier to browse.

The process of adding categories

1. Creating a label for posts

First, you need to add a label posts. Label is added by entering text in the textbox which is located at the bottom of the screen for writing or editing posts (Potsting-->Create or Posting-->EditPosts, see picture).



For example, I entered the label "blog-tutorial" for my post.

2. Creating a Page element category

You can use Labels gadget or write your own HTML to add category links one by one. Labels gadget is very simple to implement.


Adding Labels gadget to blog

1. Go to Layout.
2. Click on Add Gadget.



3. Select Labels Gadget

Add label page element

4. Enter title, chose to show all labels or only selected labels, sorting type. You can show number of posts per label by clicking check box and display labels as a list or cloud.

Edit Labels gadget on blogger

Result should look something like this:

Categories on blogspot blog created with Labels gadget

Write your own HTML to add category links

If you want more control you can write your own HTML code. HTML with category list should look like this:


<ul>
<li><a href="/search/label/[LABEL]">[TEXT]</a>  </li>
<li><a href="/search/label/[LABEL]">[TEXT]</a>  </li>
</ul>

You should replace [LABEL] and [TEXT] elements.

[LABEL] is label you have entered for the post. For example blog-tutorial.

[TEXT] is text you want to be showed in the categories. For example blog tutorial.

Here is example of my HTML category list code when I replaced [TEXT] and [HTML] elements.


<ul>
<li><a href="/search/label/webs">Useful webs</a>  </li>
<li><a href="/search/label/blog-tutorial">Blog tutorial</a>  </li>
</ul>

I have posts with label "webs" and with label "blog-tutorial". When somebody click on Useful webs link then will be shown all posts that have "webs" label.

You should put your own labels. For more categories you should add new

<li><a href="/search/label/[LABEL]">[TEXT]</a>  </li>
element.

Adding HTML or JavaScript to blog

Now we have to add this HTML code to blog.
1. Go to Layout.
2. Click on Add Gadget.



3. Select HTML/JavaScript.



4. Enter a title "Categories" and copy and paste HTML category list code in content box with replaced [LABEL] and [TEXT] elements. Save this and now you have categories.
