I Do Follow...

Today I have learned how to make my page becomes a "Dofollow" page where all your comment leaved on this page are followed by the search bots.

All Blogger templates have the "Nofollow" attribute built into their comments. This is done to discourage comment spam..

Thanks to the post by Randa Clay with hermovement in helping me to turn off the "Nofollow" attribute by modifying the Blogger template with this simple step:

1) Login to dashboard and click on layouts of your blog.
2) Click on Edit Html subtab of Template tab.
3) Make a backup of your template into your hard drive by clicking on the Download Full Template link.
4) Put a check in the Expand Widgets Template Checkbox at the top of the Edit Template text box. (This expands the Blog Posts Widget Code within which is the comments code).
5) Then scroll down till you come to :


<dl id='comments-block'>
<b:loop values='data:post.comments'var='comment'>
<dt class='comment-author'expr:id='"comment-" + data:comment.id'>
<a expr:name='"comment-" +data:comment.id'/>
<b:if cond='data:comment.authorUrl'>
<a expr:href='data:comment.authorUrl' rel='nofollow'><data:comment.author/></a>
<b:else/>
<data:comment.author/>
</b:if>
<data:commentPostedByMsg/>
</dt>

Delete the words in red in the above code : rel='nofollow' and save the template.

For self-hosted Wordpress platform: Thanks to Mistanars at Makmal Cyber dot com for this guide:

1. Log in to your blog cPanel.
2. Find the File Manager and click.
3. Find in your wordpress blog folder name wp-includes and click.
4. In the wp-includes folder find default-filters.php file, right click then click to edit file.
5. Find this word add_filter(’pre_comment_content’, ‘wp_rel_nofollow’, 15); and delete it all. Don’t forget to save after that.
6. The second change is in comment-template.php. Find comment-template.php file, right click then click edit file.
7. Then find this word nofollow or rel=’external nofollow’ and delete it all. Then, save the changes made.

Tips related to Filling Petrol

A useful tips shared by a veteran in petroleum industries at Marini Hike pipeline, Durban. A place that have a 34 petroleum storage tanks, with a total capacity 16,800,000 litres. And about 4 million litres of petroleum delivery in a 24 hrs period through the pipeline. One day is diesel, the next day is jet fuel, and petrol, LRP and Unleaded.

Tip #1
Only buy or fill up your cars or bike in the early morning when the ground temperature is still cold. Remember that all petrol station have their petrol storage tanks buries below ground. The colder the ground, the denser the fuel, when it gets warmer, petrol expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening, your litre is not exactly a litre of petrol.
In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the petrol, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum product play an important role. A one degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this petroleum business. But the petrol station do not have temperature compensation at the petrol pumps.

Tip #2
When you are filling up petrol, do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to a fast mode. If you look, you will see that the trigger has three stages, low, middle and high. In slow mode, you should be pumping petrol on low speed, thereby minimizing the vapours that are created while you are pumping. All hoses at the petrol pump have a vapour return. If you are pumping on the fast rate, some of the liquid that goes to your petrol tank becomes vapour. Those vapours are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so you are getting less worth for your money.

Tip #3
One of the most important tips is to fill up petrol when your tank is half full. The reason for this is, the more petrol you have in your tank, the less air occupying its empty space. Petrol evaporates faster than you can imagine. Petroleum storage tanks have an internal floating roof, this roof serves as zero clearance between the petrol and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation.
Unlike petrol station, here where I work, every truck that we load is temperature compensated, so that every litre is actually the exact amount.

Tip #4
Another reminder, if there is a fuel truck pumping into the petrol storage tanks, then you stop to buy, do not fill up. Most likely the petrol is being stirred up as the fuel is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom of the petrol storage tank.

Hope this will help you get the maximum value for your money... Please share this information with others! Lets share information and benefit all, for the better of mankind.

Ten Tips That I Must Follow For A Better Photo

1. Hold It Steady

A problem with many photographs is that they're blurry. Avoid 'camera shake' by holding the camera steady. Use both hands, resting your elbows on your chest, or use a wall for support. Relax: don't tense up. You're a marksman/woman holding a gun and it must be steady to shoot.

2. Put The Sun Behind You

A photograph is all about light so always think of how the light is striking your subject. The best bet is to move around so that the sun is behind you and to one side. This front lighting brings out color and shades, and the slight angle (side lighting) produces some shadow to indicate texture and form.

3. Get Closer

The best shots are simple so move closer and remove any clutter from the picture. If you look at most 'people' shots they don't show the whole body so you don't need to either. Move close, fill the frame with just the face, or even overflow it. Give your shot some impact. Use a zoom to crop the image tighter.

4. Choose A Format

Which way you hold the camera affects what is emphasized in your shot. For tall things (Redwoods, Half Dome) a vertical format emphasize height. Use a horizontal format to show the dramatic sweep of the mountains.

5. Include People

Photographs solely of landscape and rocks are enjoyable to take but often dull to look at. Include some of your friends, companions, family, or even people passing by, to add human interest. If there's no one around, include yourself with the self-timer. Have you ever got your photos back only to discover that something that looked awe-inspiring at the time looks dull on paper? This is because your eye needs some reference point to judge scale. Add a person, car, or something of known size to indicate the magnitude of the scenery.

6. Consider Variety

You may take the greatest shots but if they're all the same type or style, they may be dull to look at. Spice up your collection by adding variety. Include landscapes and people shots, close ups and wide angles, good weather and bad weather. Take personal shots that remember the 'being there' - friends that you meet, your hotel/campsite, transportation, street or hiking signposts.

7. Add Depth

Depth is an important quality of good photographs. We want the viewer to think that they're not looking at a flat picture, but through a window, into a three-dimensional world. Add pointers to assist the eye. If your subject is a distant mountain, add a person or a tree in the foreground. A wide angle lens can exaggerate this perspective.

8. Use Proportion

The beauty of an image is often in its proportions. A popular technique with artists is called the Rule of Thirds. Imagine the frame divided into thirds, both horizontally and vertically, like a Tic-Tac-Toe board. Now place your subject on one of the lines or intersections. Always centering your subject can get dull. Use the Rule of Thirds to add variety and interest.

9. Search For Details

It's always tempting to use a wide angle lens and 'get everything in'. However, this can be too much and you may loose the impact. Instead, zoom in with a longer lens and find some representative detail. A shot of an entire sequoia tree just looks like a tree. But a shot of just the tree's wide base, with a person for scale, is more powerful.

10. Position The Horizon

Where you place the horizon in your shot affects what is emphasized. To show the land, use a high horizon. To show the sky, use a low horizon. Be creative.
