How To Place Links in WordPress Sidebar Horizontally?

Recently a client of my services asked me a question on how to place multiple links one ‘beside’ the other in the sidebar, read – not one ‘below’ the other. She had been a consistent client who regularly takes up my SEO services and often refers me to any one who is in need of the services I provide. Thanks Jenny. I had wondered why she felt it to be troubling to place a few links in the sidebar as she had been using WordPress for the past 1 year or so.

So, I wore the gloves of a master tinker and realized that not all know HTML and she does not even need to know any kind of language because she is a content curator and she enjoys doing that as much as I enjoy writing code and develop things. So, we are worlds apart and I kinda helped Jenny with a simple and efficient solution.

Check If Your Mobile Number is Registered in NCPR or DND

Ever since Telecom Regulatory Authority of India(TRAI) made it strict for telemarketers by cutting down on SMS count and strictly following National Consumer Preference Register(NCPR) and Do-Not-Disturb(DND) features, there have been millions of people getting registered.

Effective Guidelines while Creating Good Android Apps

Guest Post by Michael Dorf, LearnComputer.com Founder

Creating “Good” Android Apps

You have heard people say it: “App X is a good app”. You didn’t think about it at the time, but it begs the question. What makes a good Android app? How can you determine if the app you are writing will be good or not? It seems like a subjective thing but there are some areas that all apps could focus on that would make them better. In this article, I will explore the factors that you need to consider when creating an Android application to ensure that you also end up on the list of “good” apps, instead of the other way around.

Reliability

Users want the applications that they use to be reliable. The app should open correctly, perform its function without problems and close correctly, without tying up memory or other resources on the device. Reliability can be determined by testing the app on various devices and under different conditions in order to discover if there are things that were missed that cause the app to behave differently. Changes in feature state can often cause poorly tested apps to break down such as turning the phone into airplane mode or turning off the Wi-Fi. Ensure that you do not leave your user hanging in limbo due to insufficient testing before release.

Stability

Along with reliability, is the stability of the app. The application should not crash, freeze or give error messages to the user. Stability issues vary from annoying to unusable depending on the severity of the problem and may lead to your users being very frustrated and angry at your product that doesn’t work. Make sure to test your application for various environmental changes or problems that could cause your product to have stability problems and work towards creating more resilient applications.

Wouldn’t it be easier if you get to know when an email sent by you gets opened by the recipients? Such that there will be no reasons like, “I didn’t get your email” or “It might have been lost in Spam”.

Use Electronic Funds Transfer EFT to Receive Payments from Google Adsense-India Not Yet In The List

Today I received a Google Adsense newsletter which stated that I can use EFT to receive my Google Adsense payments. I felt so relieved because I bank using Citibank and I had been a loyal customer to them for the past 4 years, and recommend them. I usually get my Adsense payment cheques from Google Adsense Europe offices and luckily they use Citibank Europe. So, the Adsense cheque gets cleared and I receive my payment in a day or two. But, the only pain in the a$$ is, I personally go to Citibank office in order to personally handover the cheque and get their stamp on the deposit form. It takes an hour or two of my time from every month. So, I always used to think, if only there were wired payments :) and some one heard that.

But, there is also a sad version…..India is not yet supported and Indian Google Adsense publishers do not get payments through EFT to their banks. This is what the e-mail newsletter had to say about EFTs…
