Customization:

Horizontal alignment - Change the -721px value from margin-left. Negative value pushes the button to the left of the main blog column, positive value pushes it to the right. Increase or decrease the value based on your needs.
Twitter setting - Replace Helplogger with your Twitter username
Replacing and removing buttons - You can replace existing buttons with your own. Each button is represented by this code:
<div class='sbutton'> BUTTON CODE HERE </div>
Enjoy!!! :)

ways social media will change the way we learn and live

Traditional communication as we know it is becoming extinct and the companies who will rule their industries in the future are those who embrace the latest developments in digital communication.

Most people don’t see big changes coming. What they see is a continuation of recent developments. But that’s not the case with technologies of the 21st century. An extrapolation of Moore’s law show that computing power doubles every two years.

Technology improves geometrically while our brains see things linearly. Technically, at best, we may be myopic when forecasting where social media will be some 10 years from now.

How To Write Files to CD in Microsoft Windows

Writing files to CD (Compact Disc) also knows as burning a disc, simply means copying files from your PC  to a CD i.e. empty/blank disc.  The files could be photos, documents, music, softwares etc. For a file to be successfully saved on a CD, it has to pass through the process of writing and that’s why I’m here to explain how to write files to a CD in windows.
Blank CD's come in two different forms. The first one is called CD-R(CD Recordable). The other one is called CD-RW (CD Re-Writable). You can copy files to both CDs but it is only the CD Re-Writable that is reusable. Hence, you can easily copy new files to the CD-RW and erase the old ones that you might have saved on it. The CD-RW disks are a little more expensive than the regular CD-R disks.

How To Buy Domain Name for N520 Without Coupon

Godaddy calls itself the world’s largest domain name registrar. It is known to sell domain names at very cheap rates. With coupons, you can buy a domain name for $2.17 (N360) or even as low as $1.17 (N194). I assume an exchange rate of N 166 to a dollar. But the problem of coupons is that they have terms of usage which most of us do not take time to read.

These terms may include the following:

You Can Also Receive Your Google Adsense Earnings Via First Bank Current Account

I have been a Google Adsense publisher for several years now until i recently started receiving my adsense earnings. Part of the reason why i didn't withdraw my adsense earnings initially was because, i didn't have a domiciliary account.

I tried withdrawing my Google adsense earnings via my GTBank Savings account but my account manager called and told me my savings account can't receive funds in foreign currency.

That i should come over and open a domiciliary account for that purpose. I couldn't meet up with all their requirements because i don't have a national ID card or Driver's license so i decided to try withdrawing my earnings via my First Bank Current account. Guess what? everything went fine and i received my money sharp! sharp!

JIDENNA CELEBRATES NIGERIA’S INDEPENDENCE DAY IN ‘CLASSIC’ AFRICAN STYLE

Jidenna Theodore Mobisson, commonly known as Jidenna may finally be able to ward off  the recent backlash from Nigerians after his controversial interview with urban news channel VladTV. Starring Jessica Chibueze & Jidenna who are both Nigerians, the All Things Ankara site – a platform founded by Nikki Billie Jean has produced an editorial in honor of their  “Nigerian Renaissance” theme. The “All Things Ankara Ball” which is in commemoration with Nigeria’s 55th independence day celebration on October 1st, marks its first ever official inaugural.

The campaign images feature a combination of French Renaissance, Nigerian and other African aesthetics. Also featured is a pair, along with a few guards, flower bearers and ladies-in-waiting, with a setting which bears a close resemblance to the famous Chateau de Versailles.

The official slogan for the All Things Ankara Ball is a phrase derived from Fear & Fancy (a social club co-founded by Jidenna), “Come Dry, Leave Wet”. It simply means going to a party dressed to the nines;“to perfection in the most fashionable attire” (Come Dry) but having a good time, dancing and sweating out your clothing (Leave Wet). This event also gives Jidenna, who loves to incorporate African prints into his ‘classic’ style, an opportunity to justify himself as someone who is in fact proud of his Nigerian heritage.

During his infamous interview with VladTV, the rapper shared his experience of burying his fatheryears prior, “Our family was light. Therefore when we go to our village… and when I actually buried my father, I had to bring a lot of AK47s. Because when you’re light skinned, you’re heavier target for being kidnapped. Because you’re seen as more valuable. For me being light skinned in Nigeria, in my family, it was difficult. It was always challenging. We were hounded. We were robbed.” However, his comments- specifically those related to his skin tone sparked a controversy on Twitter Nigeria, providing a base for momentary national bonding. As a blogger puts it, his comments “FINALLY led to a unified Nigeria for the first time since the election started and ended.”

The All Things Ankara Ball will take place, Saturday, October 17th, 2015 at Adele H. Stamp Student Union Grand Ballroom at The University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland.

Your Blogspot Redirecting to .ng and Ads Not Showing On Desktop? Try This..

Blogger Nnadi Nnaemeka Donatus contacted me few days back to complain that Google ads generated from his hosted Google Adsense account are no longer displaying on the desktop view of his blogspot blog.


I checked his blog and discovered that the ads were ONLY showing on mobile view. I also noticed that his blog keeps redirecting to .blogspot.com.ng. Before I could figure out what's wrong, he sent me another message that the problem has been fixed.

if (blog[blog.length - 1] != "com") {

window.location.replace(ncr + document.location.pathname);

Unable To Change The Name Servers On Your Whogohost Dashboard? This Should Work

One of the most tiresome duties one faces as a blogger/webmaster is having to deal with a hosting/domain issue.

You know the worst part?                                                                                                           

It could drive you nuts if you are new to the interface or dashboard in question.


I faced an issue some days back and mehn!, I almost went mad.

Lucky for me, I was able to fix this problem before having to visit a psychiatric hospital.

What brought about this problem?

I wanted to change the nameservers of a domain on the dashboard of my Whogohost account, but I was getting a “no response” server reply.

Initially I thought it was an error from Whogohost’s end, but little did I know that it was my own error (sort of).

Here’s what went wrong.

Registrar Lock!

I did not know that one cannot tamper with the nameservers of a domain on Whogohost which is under registrar lock, and for the domain in question, registrar lock was enabled.

How I Got It Fixed.

Follow through to know where registrar lock is on your Whogohost dashboard and how to enable (or in this case; disable) it.

First off, Login to Whogohost account and go to your “My Domains” tab as seen in the screenshot below.

On your domain dashboard, Click on “manage domain”.

Once done, your screen should look somewhat like this:

Locate and click the “Registrar Lock” tab as seen above.

So far so good aii?

Ok, let’s disable the registrar lock feature.

As illustrated below, hit the “Disable Registrar Lock” Button.

Now, go back and change the nameservers to your preferred address.

After hitting the “change nameservers” button, you should get the “green light”.

That was easy enough right?

Ok.

Now do not forget to go back and enable the registrar lock feature – for security purposes.

If this did not solve your problem, you should consider going through Whogohost’s knowledgebase archive. – If I had done that initially, I could have saved myself minutes of worry.

Did this work for you?
