Latest From Blogigs - Add 125 x 125 Ads Blocks To WordPress 3

Posted: 14 Jul 2010 02:24 AM PDT

If you have been using widgets to handle your 125 x 125 Advertisements in your sidebar, some of the widgets might not work after upgrading to WordPress 3. There is a new widget that is compatible with WordPress 3 which is very easy to use and it supports many different kinds of Ad codes like AdSense®, XHTML, PHP, IFrame, JavaScript. It’s called Ad Squares

Though the default Ad blocks is 125 x 125 pixels, you can use it for Ads of different sizes. Only make sure all are in the same size so as not to have the Ads appearing odd. You can also set the number of Ads you want for each widget. The maximum number is 8 and the minimum is 2. I said each widget because unlike other similar widgets, you can use the Ad Square widget for unlimited times. So if you choose to, you can fill up your whole sidebar with Advertisements.

Using is is a piece of cake as you just grab the banner codes and paste it into the widget. You do not have to go through the confusing method used by other sidebar Ad widgets where you need to paste the affiliate link in one place and the image source into another.

You can also opt to have the Ads rotate on each refresh and specify the paddings between each Ad. This is rather thoughtful as some might have sidebars that are too narrow to accommodate 2 x 125 Ad blocks side by side.

The only feature missing is the ability to track the number of clicks that each Ad is getting. Hopefully this feature will be available in future updates.

To install this plugin automatically from your WordPress dashboard, just go to Plugins – Add new and type in the words, Ads Squares in the search form.

iPhone 4 Antenna Problem

Posted: 13 Jul 2010 09:27 PM PDT

Let me do a tech post for a change, not that I am much of a tech geek and I do not even own an iPhone. But, I like to keep up with times and this antenna issue with the iPhone 4 is currently being hotly discussed in the Web. Just for the benefit of those who has no idea what the hoo haa is all about, first watch this video put up by CNN.

A big dent in the reputation of Apple. As damage control, Apple issued this Press Release to put the blame on a software problem rather than a design flaw.

However, to prove Apple is not admitting to it’s own fault, Engaget put the iPhone through a series of test which came to this latest conclusion,

our iPhone 4s are actually located across the country in San Francisco, Chicago, and New York, and we saw the app respond that way regardless of location. Dropped calls and other effects weren’t as consistent, however, and we’re still testing to sort out when the effects of the antenna issue are the most severe.

In the meantime, Gizmodo is running an online petition to have Apple give out free new cases for those faulty iPhone 4.

Interesting huh?
